Music, reading/writing, drawing/painting, studying art, attending plays/theatre, jamming with my awesome bandmates, going out with friends, exchanging philosophies, hanging out at Maude's or downtown, making musical instruments out of unusual objects (screwdrivers, fishing poles, etc.), collecting old vinyls, RPGs (Guild Wars, Age of Empires, Arcanum, Baldur's Gate, etc.), and spending way too much time online!
