growing weed in the basement...  making up killer batches of crystal meth in the bathroom.... and cooking up some potent crack cocaine in the kitchen.

all while listening to music of course ....

About 3 years ago we were really top and would have feared no-one in the world, and I mean it. We need to practice more. Bridge, by the way, is NOT a pastime for old ladies, mas it is usually depicted in movies. On the contrary, it is more like chess. In bridge tournaments the element of card luck is totally eliminated; it all relies on skills. Bridge is, as far as I know, the only card game for which this is true. Not to forget playing music, of course.

Very true. I had a teacher in high school who was totally obsessed with the game, and once he heard he was, we asked him to show us. We ended up having almost no real classes for the rest of the year, he was always up for a game of bridge, and that second term was one with a lot of freedom to do "whatever we wanted, as long as it was done by dead line". Unfourtunately, you need to be four people (or three, but that's not real bridge) at all times you want to play, so it was hard to keep up, and it is very complicated to learn, so when interest dwindled (also due to the fact that we didn't always have recess at the same time) i lost what little knowledge i had of the game.

And he also told us about that tournament thing, as i understood it, every team (pair...) plays the same hand and the one who handles it the best wins the round, so to speak.

Yep. It's a pretty cool game.

Music, reading, video games, general stuff like that. Unfortunately right now I don't have that much free time because I'm either studying  or simply browsing the web with my books open trying to study.
I would like to get into motorcycling and other outdoor activities.

I don't think there is a hobby I haven't tried at sometime or other, but I'm sort of between hobbies at the moment. I am an obsesive who tends to get over-involved with things, which ends up taking all the fun out of it and spoiling the enjoyment... I haven't tried hydroculture yet, but I don't have a basement so the glow of the grow-lights in my shed may attract the wrong kind of attention from Mr Plod.

That hobby can get you killed.

Collect toys and currently designing my own wood toys in order to concrete a very old project. If not now...

How?

Unless you mean swallowing it, but that won't happen.

Ah I see, well I happen to be not bad at it, so at least you'll hear a tune and not a horrible noise.

I get the same about ukulele... my parents constantly practice and they play terrible tunes that I never liked, but now I hate them even more... I cannot win!

You can always give it to a child for a couple of minutes and become responsable of a massacre that will end up with both fathers murdering you with insane cruelty...
