I am wondering what people here like to do in their life that they enjoy.
For me, I am training for a marathon that is going to be held at Walt Disney World in January. That will be a 26 mile run, and take about 4-5 hours. I am making progress, and ran 11 miles on Saturday. I've been following a schedule to get me to that goal. That will be my first marathon, and at Disney World of all places. I really look forward to getting more fit, and doing something that only 0.1% of people have done in the US.
Everyone wish me luck in my training endeavors. I'd also like to hear what people here are very good at, and what they enjoy doing.

Wow, great! A Marathon! You're the first person I know who is doing somehting like that! Awesome!
Me plays badminton, heh, believe it or not, and ping-pong as well. Didn't get many prizes and awards, though...
What I did get quite a few awards on are either music or computer...
Well, enough rambling, good luck and I wish you the best, Warlock!

Wow! That's quite impressive. Have you been running your whole life, or have you just started a while back? The best guy on our team runs an average of 9-10 miles every day, and he's been running since he was ten, so I was curious about that. Anyway, good luck! That sounds like it will be fun.
I started running Cross Country...which everyone knows that, but it is related to the topic so. We usually run 5 miles per day now...I've improved...I just hope I keep improving.
Non-athletic stuff? Acting's my life...and writing is too. I really enjoy drawing, but I would never consider taking a major career in it. Yeah...those things...I like...and I like to think I'm good at. XD

I enjoy writing stories. Most of them are fanfics. And almost all of them are romance. I also like drawing animals and Disney cartoons. Too bad I don't have a scanner... yet.

I live to sing! I also like bu n ot as much as singing, acting, swiming, and reading. I also like to play volleyball. When school starts I am going to start learning how to play the flute. When I grow up I am going to be a singer/acter. Like Raven! Have any of you heard of Raven. She is in a show called Thats So Raven, and some other movies.

When school starts I am going to start learning how to play the flute. That's very interesting, because the flute is a strong symbol in my book. There is a character called the Power, and his words sound like a flute. It is a very nice instrument. |

I am going to take ukelele lessons. I'm tired of everyone pernouncing it wrong. It's "ook uh lay lay". That's how it's suppose to be pronounced. Everyone pronounces it with a "y" at the beginning. But that is wrong.

I prefer using a MIDI keyboard hooked up to computer, so that I can have a whole symphony at my fingertips. I've used Cakewalk, which is a program that helps you make music. It writes the notes as I play them. It's been some time since I have used it, but it comes in handy. I usually do trial and error until I get a good sound, and then I keep it.

Impressive Warlock, you're the first person I know who is determined and into a sport like that. Good luck in that marathon!
I pretty much play videogames and write in my life, not much I do. I also draw but I haven't drawn in a long time, so I'm pretty much out of practice XD.
As for an instrument, I love to play the ocarina! I always play the same songs over and over and proceed to more difficult songs overtime, but I'm still pretty young in this skill. I believe Spec has heard me playing it if I recall right XD

At least I could do the editing, filtering, and creation of a CD, and put it to a music video. My 5+ years of video editing experience comes in handy.

Mostly I just spend my time with my friends and family. Going out to places and eating out. On weekends we mostly go to the movies, so I see a lot of movies. When there is nowhere to go I mostly play videogames with my little brother. I also enjoy posting and role playing here online.
I learned a bit of piano but that was a long time ago.
