My hobbies are my horse Yoyo, had her for 5 years now. She's a Highland mare and my best friend apart from my husband. Also enjoy running and mountain biking altho both have been curtailed of late due to a few falls. I love video games, have PS3, XBOX 360, Wii and DS and other consoles from the 20th century. Love gadgets and my computer. I have 2 Roborovski hamsters - I love animals.

LOL - I used to play competitively for years too.. when I was young
I found it the perfect way to let off steam.. whacking balls is so much more pc than whacking people

That would be quite interesting.
Also, how does one teach oneself Arabic?
As for hobbies, I collect and read books, comic books, and graphic novels; watch movies; and think about going to the gym. But I really don't have much time for any of those things because I have a daughter who is almost 6 and a son who is almost 3. Also, I work a lot and I work from home if I'm not onsite with a client, so the work day frequently doesn't end at 5.

I started with a language CD and then progressed to a textbook and some other aides. i recently had my first conversation in full with an Iranian migrant who I am helping with her English and she is helping me with my Arabic, so it's a good exchange. I want to sink my teeth into this language and immerse myself in it in a way I haven't done with my previous language studies.
What's interesting is that Ruth taught herself Persian, so my strange similarities with Ruth are becoming ever more frequent.

I keep thinking about getting one of the Rosetta Stone programs, but they're immensely expensive.
