I used to make Flash Animations about videogames in my spare time, takes too much time over the school year, so I only do it over the summer now. I got pretty good at it, 2 times on newgrounds front page

Time to nerd this up:
-I tend to be pretty up to date tech-wise and even though it's not a hobby in and of itself I follow tech blogs like Engadget, Giz, Ars Technica, and Wired enough to go out and buy far too many new tech products that feel old within a month or so
-Models, Model Kits, and other memorabilia. I buy CE editions of any movie/game I buy and I have my fair share of models from mecha anime >_>
-Gaming costs me a small fortune as well, especially since I'm starting to grow out of it yet I'm not adjusting my spending habits (hooray for my near $2000 gaming laptop setup that's used almost exclusively as a word processor and internet browser)

I solve Rubik's Cubes. I like how they give off a false aura of intelligence.
I'm sort of getting into the DIY scene, but very slowly. I haven't done much except take stuff apart, look at the inside, try to figure out how it works, then put it back together.
The parallels to a certain TV villain are purely coincidental.
I've made a texture-based Rubik's Cube; that is, one that can be solved by using only the sense of touch, so I can do it blindfolded/behind my back. It didn't turn out so well, but the experience was nice.
My "big project" this break will be replacing the Blu-Ray drive on an old PS3 I bought.

Depends on how much time I have.
- Photography
- Writing and editing (I'm doing an internship at TalentEgg right now, so I get experience to do it, which is awesome)
- Music (photographing, seeing bands play, listening to)
- Reading...the pleasure kind not the textbook kind
- Watching movies
- Volunteering
- Traveling
