Hobbies and activities?
Oh well.
When I left the JWs I did the mistake of replacing all that time with corresponmding activities. I did martial arts for two years, but dropped it primarily because I could no longer use three weekly nights for this. And besides, I'm too old to ever be good in karate (should have started at 15 instead of 25, but that's life as an xJW).
I also started university studies (dropped out of Business School for humanities studies). But that's supposedly not a hobby.
Computers is work, but I use it just as much for recreation. I read an amazing amount of on-line newspapers and other texts every day (rather, night). If somebody finds a better way to organize bookmarks/favourites, I'm a good candidate for testing it!
Pub life. We have a second home at The English Pub. Friday we have a charity auction for aiding cancer patients. In summers we play cricket. Yes, I'm one of the very few Norwegians who can actually understand a cricket game on TV. I'm not good, but I have great fun.
Reading. Music.
Only 24 hours every day and night, or I would have many more hobbies.
