Sneaking out of the military housing area to play video games at a local arcade. A few times I got caught sneaking back in.

One of my favorite passtimes was wandering in the forest and playing in the creek by the beaver dam north of our tillable fields.

However, my top passtime then and now is studying to learn new things and in many cases learning how to apply what I have learned. Been that way all my life.

Play, play, play.

Play kill the Nazis with the neighbor boys. Raised in an isolated rural setting, I was heavily imprinted by boys. Left me a square peg in a round world when I was forced into to the city at 7 years of age. When it rained I would be inside making mythical monsters out of Tinker Toys. So girlygirl. =0}

Play in dirt and make camps and play games.

I drew on rolls of paper from the newspaper where my Dad worked. I could make a picture any lenght I wanted. Some got rather long. I also made cities in the stone driveway, scraping out roads and building houses for my army men and hot wheels. And baseball, football, tennis, and the deadly art of Jarts!

Avoiding my stepmother.

Build model cars and planes

Trick or Treating on Halloween. Free candy!

Run from my parents..REDRUM!

i used to sit in the rowan shrubs around the corner of our home, watching the critters (& people passing by), collecting beetles, snails & feathers & dreaming of the freedom of running away.

I played in the woods. Day or night you could find me playing in the trees. Looking for critters or building forts.

I would walk, I would go suburbs, miles away. If my family was in the mountains or on the coast for a few weeks, I would be gone all day. I am a loner, always have been.

I really enjoyed astronomy. It blew my mind that our entire species exists entirely on a single blue rock floating dangerously along in the unbelievably enormous expanse of space and that the light we see is often thousand, hundreds of thousands, and even millions of years from its origin.

Killing bugs with a magnifying glass.

Model rockets, building and modifying them, launching them. I loved learning about the science that went into it.

Ride my bicycle as far and as fast as I could

Getting up early Saturday morning to watch my favorite cartoons.

Has to be reading. Only child. Navy brat. I would spend my allowance on books or magazines.

Be in nature - climbing trees and trekking through woods and playing in snow and mud and lakes. Also loved reading, writing, colouring, drawing, other crafty/artsy type shit and handy stuff - lincoln logs, legos, bionicles and carpentry, spreading mulch and learning about that kind of stuff.
