Singing out loud. I usually do this only when the house is completely empty. It feels great.

Also, playing video games. I’ve got zero aim and coordination which makes me really lousy at games like Halo. Hell, I even suck at Guitar Hero. Doesn’t stop me from trying though.

You sound like me. I enjoy golf a lot too, but I’m too cheap to spend the money these days to be so awful at it. In college, we could play for cheap on the campus course, but once you have a real job, golf becomes pretty pricey.

And… the other thing is probably skeet shooting. I only hit between 30% and 50% of the time on either one, and that’s with a 12 gauge, skeet choke, and #8 shot.

I’m just bad at it. But it’s an absolute blast!

Sadly (for both of us, I think!), I’m a male!

Still, I do appreciate the attention :p.
