One last topic I wish too start today :P. I'm sure people on this forum do other things then live on rct3, What do you like to do other then that. Any hobbies, sports, interests? Just thought this would be nice way to get to know everyone and what they are in too.

Personally: I like hockey, Can't play because theres a lack of a team in my area :( , But I watch it all the time none the less. I golf, play videos games, mainly PC games but I do own a WII, My cousin talked me into getting it. Use to own a PS2, It broke :(. I also like to work on my site, and help out others on theres. I'm starting too get into some computer programing also, C++ and Visual Basic. And that's all I can think of at the moment :P

My hobby involves secretly indoctrinating those around me, spreading my views further and further away from the inner circle of the people I know. I'm a deeply cynical person with my views probably only representing a small minority of the country. I hate a lot of things people do, some drive me into punching the wall in anger. There are many groups of undesirables I find a burden to society

Oh, I love playing video games too of course.

:D

One thing I hate more than anything is people asking questions that are already answered.
Please, read the forums and pinned topics before asking obvious questions.

My interests will be fireworks! I would like to put up my own fireworks company and compete in international des feux loto-quebec representing the philippines at least once! I also would like to make the pyro industry in the philippines a big thing! I guess that's it! I also love listening to music! All kinds except for hard rock or any chaotic rock! :D!

With an exciting life like that, i am amazed you can get to sleep at night!

Let me see, I like to snowboard, but doing that all the time is not good for the bank.

I do enjoy pulling electronics apart and seeing how they work, I tired to make a radio receiver for my PC, didn't work so well but was a lot of fun trying.

Seeing how fast i could overclock my old P2. What I did was put the CPU fan, while attached to the CPU, in a large static bag inside a ziplock bag in the freezer overnight. Got my 366mhz P2 > 1.1GHZ then it melted, about 20 mins at 1.1ghz. Dry ice kept it going so long.

Working on my car audio is good too, currently running 2x350w(RMS) 12" subs on a 950w(rms) mosfet NX1000NL with 2x200w 6"x9" on a pioneer 450W (RMS). I shake the foundations of the pump shed thats 500m away. So glad I live on a farm, there is no way id get away with 1/2 the stuff I do around here.

Electronics is a good way to waste an arvo. Welding is good also.

Never a dull moment here, if it aint blowing up its burning down!

I like to hang out with friends. Movies, Theme Parks, Shopping, Talking, Eating, Partying with friends. We mostly do everything together.

I also like to draw, it usually relaxes me when I'm stressed.

I LOVE TO SING.

I play RCT3 here and there (not as much as like last year)...

Some of you may hate me, but I do have a myspace and check it regularly :P

I love going to Disneyland and WDW. The Remember fireworks are truly amazing.

And yeah... that's pretty much what I like to do.
May all your dreams and wishes come true,
Jeffrey =D

Watch TV, play PC games, pet my cats, build and troubleshoot PC's for my friends and making firework shows with RCT3.

My biggest interest is self-educating myself in almost anything to do with the IT industry. Will hopefully be able to open my own custom computer boutique someday :). Other than that, I have a very boring life.

life is what you make it, i have always been an active person so getting out and doing things like welding is always quite entertaining, i watch about 2hrs tv a week, play PC games, a lot. but in daylight hours i am out doing things. today i had to help a friend get out of a bog, drove his 4wd into a swampy area lets just say he had mud up to his knees, hehe.

My life is boring too.
I usually just sit around and watch T.V. or if there is nothing good on, I'll just listen to satelites with my short wave radio. Sometimes I'll just ride my bike aimlessly around the neighborhood. That's pretty much it.

Wow. Well typically I am working on a design for a show (real shows not rctpyro shows), sometimes its the boring part like budgeting/getting quotes/research but thats all part of the gig. Then if I'm not doing that I am probably working on a show doing the actual implementation/tech rehearsals. Sometimes I run the shows through the run. Aside from that I do play computer games, mostly MMOs. I also work on my truck which I take off roading at least once a month with a bunch of friends (real offroading in the desert, going over huge obstacles/rocks/canyons/mountains, none of that boring dirt trail stuff.) I spend at least a couple evenings a week cooking with friends for a sort of family dinner we do.

And then to top it all off I am usually working on a RCT pyro show or new fireworks in my off hours :P

Hobbies?
Basically anything related to music or theatre - when I'm not busy with schoolwork (which is a lot of the time) I like to play the piano, write music and sing (I sing in a gospel choir, even though I'm not religous, but it's great fun :P). I also like technical theatre and do lots of lighting work for school productions.

I guess I don't really have a boring life. In fact, I rarely have time to get bored, as I also work 13 hours a week in the local supermarket. :P
