Hobbies
I enjoy relaxing on my own, watching tv, playing video games, and all sorts of nerdy things like D&D/roleplaying with friends, card games such as Magic the gathering. I love to hang out online and I am always watching and learning about new skills and talents in my free time. When I am not on my computer I like to paint small figurines, tend to my moderate garden, and try out new cooking recipes.
