Question for FtMs: Hobbies

[CaptLex]

Okay, guys, here's another "getting to know you" question. Please note: this is only for those who identify as FtM (although all are welcome to read and learn more about us):

I'd like to know a little more about all of you. What are your hobbies and interests? What do you do for fun? Please be as specific as possible.

I'll start:

(1) I'm a movie nut, so I go to the movies very often - about once a week, or at least one every two weeks (otherwise I start going through what I call cinema withdrawal). All my friends and co-workers know about this and often contact me to get my reviews and find out what I recommend, or when a new movie will be out. The question I get asked most often these days is when is the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie coming out (July 7th here in the U.S., in case you were wondering). For me the Oscars is like the Super Bowl and the World Series in one. I also enjoy plays (Broadway and off-Broadway), but they've gotten so expensive lately, I can't do much of that.

(2) I like playing video games on my PC. Specifically, I enjoy playing The Sims 2 (from which my avatar comes), several pirate games (big surprise, I'm sure) and a new game I recently got called The Movies, where you become the head of a movie studio and are involved in everything from hiring actors, directors and writers (and dealing with their ego and addiction issues) to building sets, choosing costumes, technical stuff like sound and finally releasing a film and seeing if it does well (and there's even an awards ceremony). It's so much fun, I think I missed my calling. :D

(3) I love music (an eclectic mix) and I really enjoy long walks, so every chance I get I combine the two and take long walks (while plugged into my MP3 player) around the city to help me de-stress. Now that the weather here is warming up, I'll be doing more of that, so I should be in a good mood most of the time.

(4) Another passion of mine is baseball - specifically the NY Mets. Baseball is great because anything can and often does happen. It's true some games turn out boring and predictable, but you never know when something unexpected will suddenly occur. For me nothing beats the drama of the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth with two outs and the count at 3 and 2. And now that the season has started and the Metsies are off to a good start (knock wood), I'm very excited.

(5) Dining out is also something I like to do at least once a month - usually with friends, co-workers, my son or my best friend. My favorite restaurants are Italian and Mexican.

(6) Also, I love to dance. I'm a dancing fool, but it's getting harder and harder to find places with good music these days (or am I just that old now?).

(7) Last (but not least) I love anything nautical (and piratical) and enjoy cruises so much I practically cry when I have to get off the ship. I could definitely see myself living on a boat. My mother says I'm a born sailor - like her father was.

Well, I think that's enough. I hope to hear from you guys. What are you into?
