I just got in from a pleasant round of golf at a charity outing. So, yeah golf. Mainly for the exercise (I walk, don't ride), cameraderie and challenge.
Reading. Bicycling. Pretending to garden/landscape. My workout - weights and elliptical machine mostly. Cooking and eating.... Seeing live music

Word/Puzzle games Cycling Hiking Camping Bird watching Wine tasting & pairing Eating (My husband and I enjoy trying new/different restaurants in the area.) Cooking (We experiment with new dishes. We enjoy shopping for the ingredients, cooking together, and digging in to our creations.) Entertaining Sailing (Not recently since we don't have a boat at this time.) Organized races/athletic events (It sort of helps me workout when I have a goal to strive for; a 100K bike ride, a 10K run, etc.) And I've become an event T-shirt whore. The Internet - Livejournal, the SDMB, various news/magazine sites.

2. I customize action figures. (It's a process of painting and adding to an existing figure to otherwise improve upon it or change it's 'fuction' so to speak) 3. I perform improv and sketch comedy.

Reading
Writing Random wandering around within a certain radius of my home--I have to do it on foot, so I don't go far. Had I a car, this hobby would turn from walking around to driving around. Shopping Playing around on the internet Board games, especially Scrabble and Monopoly Cooking, though I'm still not very good at it Singing Washing dishes (I find it so relaxing I could consider it a hobby, I suppose) Swimming Talking about anything that comes into my head Napping Trying to find other hobbies, especially a physical activity that will hold my interest and not get me injured. This has been a fruitless quest and I'm out of ideas. Damn, I am really boring, especially compared to you people.

Sadly, it also mandates that you have to eat the food you cook; since I'm trying to do less of the eating, I end up doing less of the cooking.Other than cooking, there's reading, films, (mountain) biking, writing, juggling, hiking, getting/staying current with developments in Linux, perl, and Python, and...we'll, I guess that's about it. Kind of boring, really. Stranger

I don't count reading or watching movies or listening to music since they're all ways of life. Similarly, I've gotta eat and I have a huge garden, so putting extra work into both improves my overall quality of life, so I don't really count those as "hobbies" either.
I one of the few Dopers who collects stamps (in fact, you can count the philatelists here on one hand). I have an extensive international topical (movies) stamp collection, but the only stuff I accumulate these days are US film-related FDCs. I also collect movie lobby cards on postcards, which I apply to the FDC collection.

Collecting records and CDs (which includes all the research and stuff)
Restoring rare records on the computer Restoring old photographs on the computer Designing CD jewel case inserts Playing music (guitar, bass, drums, keyboards) Writing and recording music I'm a gearhead (sound gear, broadcasting gear) Learning about the history of radio broadcasting Come to think of it, my job is one of my hobbies (I'm a broadcaster.) Wow, that looks really one-dimensional in print. I'm not boring, really! I promise! And I'm never bored. At least I'm focussed.

The last of my actual hobbies, for better or for worse, eats up a lot of goofing-off time

I'm a big movie buff.
I also read like it's going out of style. I always have a book in my hand. I like net surfing, obviously. And hiking is nice too when I get around to doing it. Aside from all that, I don't really do much. It's a simple life.

Cooking random new things and making other people eat them Traveling to strange places to see things I've never seen before (Pacific Beach, anyone?) Reading stuff to make me smarter (or less smart) Seeing plays, particularly little community theater things Going to concerts, particularly little community concert things
