My major other would be horses. I adore horses, and would also love anyone who knows of a GOOD place to ride in Toronto. I can't go to Nova Scotia this year where I normally ride :(
Other than that, I read a whole lot. Mostly True Crime, some biographies and some sci-fi/fiction crime. Oh and Arabian Horse Times, of course.

Nothing else, really. I lead a very boring life. :)

Heh My sister and mom are big into horses. Personally I would rather haul around on a dirt bike.... but If you wanted to ride you should look north well I guess It depends where you live but some of my family lives up in guleph And I thought I saw lots of horses up there but I might be wrong....

Other than that, the ladies ;-), Music, Making videos of completely stupid acts with friends, and the biggest one would be compedetive online First Person Shooter Gaming. I play in TFC and am In clan '=SD=', we are currently registered in STA 5v5. I used to play Cstrike, but that got old after 4 years, quite easy and repedative after a while and all that good stuff. That would be me.

I do many arts & crafts with the fave for me & my kids being ceramics & acrylic painting. I love all animals & my family keeps a big variety. Like Zoe I have a huge horse passion & usually compete with my warmblood hunter/jumper each year. We do a lot of hiking, swimming & camping & are hoping to start the kids canoeing soon,too. I do obedience work with my dogs & hope to start agility this fall also. I love gardening of all types (herbs with my stepmom, vegies with my bestfriend & flowers at the stables where i jump-I do all the landscape at them each year in preparation for the shows). At home we have many houseplants & now a brand new yard to do ! I love to read & have my own library of all types of books with loads of reference stuff too. After that I'd have to say my other major hobby was talking reps with everyone here at sSnakeSs !!!

Zoe : I forget the name but there is a wonderful stable up above Toronto in a little place I believe is called Brampton. (it's been years!). They have between 1 & 200 horses with facilities for riding english(dressage,jumping,hunting,etc.), western(pleasure,reining,games,etc.) & loads of trails; some even with crosscountry jumping set-up. they have instuctors & guides available but also rent the horses out (they used to anyhow). My first visit when I was around 10 years old I told them my Pony Club level & they set me up with an appropriate horse no prob & off I went trailriding. I believe they are in the yellow pages. I rode a horse called Black Socks when I was there but imagine he has passed now. It is a worth while place to look into. They really care for their critters & safety was tended to as well.
Good luck to you, Dar.

When I'm not involved w/my herps, I spend most of my time with my dog, Cocoa. We go to the dog park, go on long walks, play frisbee all the time. She's great at it, too. Catches almost every one. I also volunteer at my local humane society.
I like to read. Mostly horror and true crime.
The rest of the time that I have is busy w/my kids. So I really don't have time for much more than the kids and animals.
I guess in a few years, when the kids don't need me so much, I'll get involved w/something else I'd like to do.

But i can still kick some butt at it. i used to play volleyball until i had 2 ankle surgerys (now the doctors won't let me play). I love photography and SCARY movies( Dee sniders Strangeland is the best) i also collect anything lara croft (comic books, posters anything i can find) and i'm in love with angelina jolie lol. i guess thats about it.

Aside from spending time with my animals I like playing computer games, these days I'm playing a lot of Anno 1503 A.D. and Age of Mythology (can't wait for the Titans expansion pack!). I also love board, card & puzzle games. I enjoy learning and doing web design too. I'm one of the rare chick computer geeks! Having almost every techno-gadget available!

I do a lot of craft type hobbies ranging from neat to geeky!!! lol! I do chain mail (haven't in a little bit) and am pretty good at it. I sew, knit, crochet, macrame! I like making my own hides for my herps.

Definitely spending time on SsnakesS!! But that's herp related so I guess that don't count!

Absolutely love horseback riding but don't get to do as much as I want to. One of my dreams is to have my own horse. I feel bad for trail horses as they have so many different people ride them and many of them stupid bozos! Here are some good tips for those who like horseback riding:

I always take extra time for before I mount a trail horse, I walk around with it on foot for 10-15 min letting it get to see me before I jump on it's back. You can also test the dominance of a horse this way and make sure you will have a smooth ride. After walking around gently leading by the reigns, turn and face the horse and walk forward, keep walking straight for it even if you bump noses. If the horse doesn't back up, it will most likely defy your commands during the ride and be a pain. Ask for another horse! I saw this on a documentary about horses and since I've been doing this I've had great times and wonderful horses to ride, I am not shy to ask for another and have on a couple of occasions. Ranch owners are very surprised when I do this little thing at first but I've never had a problem getting to do it or switching horses if necessary. I also always bring carrots and apples with me to treat the horse after the ride, they go nuts for it!

Ok, I've rambled on long enough!!!

Hmm, nothing too interesting, aside from my reptiles I have my pet rats and dwarf hamsters, cats and dogs. I also have my writing, crafts, painting, photgraphy... lol, nothing I am very good at... but you never know in twenty years I might be great! I find I have little patience and go from one hobby to another. I used to rock collect, and stamps, and coins! lmao, I wonder where they are now? clutter in the basement I bet.

I do a lot of stuff with animals in my spare time. I spend lots of weekends helping with animal rescue transport. I also help out with dog obedience training. I like to do lots of animal research as well.

Aside from animals, I like playing games of all sorts. Pool, bowling, board games, computer games, video games, etc. Not so much into sports, except for hockey.

I also have a passion for wines and try to make it to a wine tasting every other week.

Other than that, I do typical early twenties stuff. ;-) I'll let you use your imagination on that one.

I'm an artist, specifically with digital art. I design web pages, I'm into graphic design, and I'm getting back into programming, something I was very passionate about for a long time, but then lost my interest in.

(P.S.. I am willing to design websites in exchange for herps!) hehehe

Other than that, I'm a karaoke junkie. I've been singing karaoke for 8 years now, and I've been told I'm one of the better singers on the scene, which by the way, is HUGE in Calgary.

I also like drawing, painting, playing pool, playing darts, bowling, etc. I have too many allergies to enjoy the outdoors, so I like indoor activities.

I like taking photos and used to be quite into black and white photography, though i haven't done much since i no longer have a darkroom. I used to like bicycling (both on and offroad) but i've kinda let that slip in the last few years as i've gotten lazy. I have picked up on digital photography and basic web page coding (nothing fancy). I enjoy watching anime. I used to enjoy riding horses but I haven't ridden in 5 years. curling up on the couch with a good book with a nice roaring fire is always nice :)
