As
for hobbies... I love watching hockey (and a variety of other sports),
traveling, messing around with my computer, spending time with
my friends, and during the summer, I like to just be outside...despite
what my coworkers think.
My favorite professional
hockey team is the Detroit Red Wings. I grew up in a big hockey area, so
I could not help but love the sport. The Northern Michigan University
Wildcats have a solid hockey program, and were my first and only love in
college hockey. I may be out of the state, with no plans of attending the
school any time soon, but I'm a Wildcat in heart, mind, and spirit. Northern
hit the big time in 1991 when they captured the NCAA Division I Hockey
Championship. A lot of the best players graduated that year, and the hockey
program hit a rocky spot, and started to go downhill. However, a few years
ago, Northern returned to the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA),
and the program has picked up again. In 1998-99, the 'Cats placed second
in the CCHA league.
I not only enjoy
watching sports, I also love to play them. Whether it's tennis, softball,
or just shooting hoops... I love it. I'm not one for competitive sports,
I'd rather have fun with the teams. When I'm not able to play, I
enjoy working and playing on the web.
After I got my
computer, I taught myself HTML, and started making web pages. I have a
lot of fun with it, and it can be very relaxing. It's a way for me to be
creative and express myself. I guess some would compare it to being an
artist. If I don't want someone to see my work, I don't have to show them.
Another way I
like to relax is by writing. I don't like to show people certain things
that I write. There is some stuff that I'll let people read, but if/when
I do that, its usually under a pseudonym.
Soap operas are
also a favorite thing to watch. I've been watching All My Children pretty
much since I could watch TV. Until the Air Force, that was the only soap
I watched. My friends here got my following Days of Our Lives. When I went
to Italy, I only had one American channel and in the mornings they would
air Port
Charles, General
Hospital and Guiding Light. Since they didn't air AMC, I bought the soap
magazines to keep myself updated.
Through the
reading, I became addicted to Another World. My
friends call
me a TV junkie, and I can't deny that. |
