Hovering ominously across the threshold of dimension, observing the domains within my sphere of influence with ever-shifting arrays of oculars and and periodically descending upon the mindless and the stupid with a terrifying eldritch resonance and armblades extended.

... Oh wait. You meant aside from that. Well, here's a list.
  • Drawing/Painting - mostly (but not exclusively) creature, character and object designs, though I've been starting to dip a little deeper into landscapes. My dream career is to take this particular hobby more professionally and delve into the realm of concept art for video games/movies/whatever. It's probably never going to happen, but I can dream, Harold!
  • Writing/RPing - which I really need to be doing more of. <<;
  • Worldbuilding - this radiates into both my art and my writing. I really appreciate good worldbuilding and I aspire for the universes inside my head to have such.
  • Playing certain instruments - mostly piano, occasionally guitar.
  • Listening to music.
  • Singing.
  • Voice acting.
  • Generally hovering around the internet.
  • Absorbing interesting information relevant to my assorted fields of interest (many of which science-based).
  • Hanging out, to the best of my ability, with the few people on the planet I actually care about, roughly 95% of which live on the other side of the god damn planet.
  • Occasionally watching a movie or a series, when my attention span can be arsed to.
  • Also occasionally playing video games.
  • Cooking/Baking.
  • Generally being lost inside my own mind.
  • A number of other things I dabble in on occasion and might someday get back to if I live that long.
  • Severely needing a life.
That's pretty much it.

Incidentally why do I keep reading 'hobbies' as 'hobbits'?
