What are your passions?

Other than wedding planning, what are your hobbies? What are some things that you are passionate about? What do you do to fill void time (whenever it's actually void)?

The thing outside of school, work and wedding planning that takes up a lot of time is doing research... I know I sound like a nut, but I can spend hours researching stuff. My latest kick is researching feline asthma (I think my kitty might have asthma)... I also know a ton about feline diabetes (from my last cat). Hmmm... so maybe my thing is pets?

I think I used to be a vet in a past life.

Another thing I really like to do is play with web design... I have VERY limited knowledge of it, but I love playing with it. And other graphic design kinds of things like Photoshop or SketchUp (3D modeling).

And I really enjoy doing the Habitat for Humanity builds. I'm still new to it, but I love it!

Well I take classes on card making. I make all my greeting cards. It is so much fun. I am working on Christmas cards. People really appreciate them more. I used to make candles and sell them. When I get the funds I want to start that again. I want to go to craft shows and have candles, cards, and bath & body stuff.

Does the gym count??

I spend a lot of time there

I'm a member at different boards (mostly health/fitness related, I KNOW I'm a NUT!).. Other than that.. I spend a lot of time with school stuff, wedding stuff.. Keeping in touch with Justin takes a lot of time now that we're SO far apart. I send him cards, real letters, emails, care packages.. Make my own mixed CDs and cards for him.. I'm going to have so much time on my hands when we're actually together

Well, I don't really have much time outside of school and wedding planning. But I do like to make cards. And I really want to take class and learn how to knit....I've been wanting to do it for a while, but I just haven't had much time to do it.

It kinds of depends on what apartment I'm at (with my FH or at my school apartment) with what I do with my time. Usually if I'm with my FH we are usually out and about doing something, whether it be working on cars, shopping, movies, dinners, etc. If I'm at my school apartment, when I don't feel like doing school work I'm usually watchin rerun episodes of CSI. I'm in love with all of the criminalistic shows and movies...but probably because I want to go back to school and get my bachelors in it.

My major passion in life is DRAWING! I've loved to draw since I was very young & my talent has grown over the years. I'm a visual person who needs to see the object or picture in order to draw it though.

One of my works in progress. The scales are VERY time consuming!

My other passions in life are: reading (Harry Potter books), bowling, cross stitching & other arts & craft kinda things.

Wow! Those drawings are amazing!!! I bet it is very time consuming, but well worth it! I wish I was better at drawing (since that is most of what my major is made up of)... I was told to practice, practice, practice!

Oh, and Harry Potter!! Love it! Have you seen the last movie yet?

Thanks for the sweet compliments Tanya & Bianca!

Oh yeah, drawing is VERY time consuming, but you end up with something beautiful after. So I really don't mind the work.

Yeah I went & saw HP last weekend, it was really good but VERY VERY choppy. They left out a lot of important stuff, but oh well....I still love HP anyways.
