2. My hobby? Really?
Ok. I reconstruct torture devices in miniature. Sick as hell, but it's made me a committed pacificist.

Or vice versa.

is thinking that I really need to get a hobby.

I bet someone will start a new post with "what is your hubby".

10. When I have time...
My hobbies are role-playing games (like Dungeons & Dragons... yes, I'm a geek!)

and, I like painting miniature figurines (like wargaming figures in the 25-30mm scale range)

reading is another hobby that I have when I have the time.

17. Scrapbooking
I started doing this while still in Kansas; my friend used to be a Creative Memories consultant. I've made a vacation album, and 2000 commemorative album and an "ABC" album for my sister. I haven't touched my scrapbooking stuff since August 2002 (when I started law school). I have several projects in mind to do after the bar exam. I want to do a memory book for my husband, one for myself and one for law school.
