I like to mess around with my car, or draw. Reading is good. Working on the ol magnetic motor and other experiments are the best for me tho. Works best for me when it relates to my screen name.
Besides videogames my main outlet is internet forums. I love to read and forums are perfect for that. It's a place where the material is new all the time and you control where you go. If you get bored of one topic you can just jump to another.
I also like to make things out of modeling clay. It's actually better than browsing forums but it's messier and there's no sense of community. It's just me sitting at my table playing with clay.
I was gonna make a little claymation video and put it up on youtube but I got lazy and I recently tossed my clay. I'm eventually gonna do it and you can be sure it'll be epic.

I like your style Dudebro. I also like messing around with modeling clay or air-dry clay. I thought I was the last one. The clay-motion film would be cool. I like to use a wooden figure of a human with moveable joints from hobby lobby, then clay up around it so the joints still move after it hardens. Then paint it will some acrylic paint. I'll post it up when I finish it so you can tell me what you think.
I know its not what would be normally used but its cool after it dries.

Sounds cool I never thought of that. I'd be interested in seeing the video.
When I was a kid I used to make ninjas out of clay and have them kill each other. It might've looked boring to an observer but I enjoyed the hell out of it. But yeah, I am kinda weird.
I used to play with dinosaurs

I had everthing from the curtains to the fingures, I had loads of different stuff.

The main creative outlet for me is writing whatever comes to mind, usually in one session. It can be a poem (rhyming or free verse), essay, skit, article, etc. Another one is casual, lighthearted trolling on Facebook.
Singing. I try to go sing at the bar at least once a week. I get lots of compliments and cheers. Feels great.
My mothers boyfriend started up an independent music label type thing a long time ago that's really started gathering steam in the last 3 or so years. He says if I ever wanted to consider a career in music to just let him know so we can work on things together.
Specialties are David Bowie and Crooner stuff, if anyone's curious.
Music is my first and formost, i cant go a day without touching one of my guitars, and when im in the mood i like to draw (esspecially since we have a wacom bamboo pad now)
So I have gotten into building models again, specifically little metal ones from a company called Metal Earth. They come on flat sheets of metal and you need to bend them into the right shape.
I currently also have Captain America's Shield, Iron Man, War Machine, and Mjolnir to put together but I haven't gotten to them yet.
I'm told that I'm fairly creative and Artistic but suffer from me comparing myself to what others do {self - judgment}, then I get to feeling inadequate and just give it up.
So mainly my creative outlet is what you are reading at the moment; I talk about all kinds of topics on RU and try to make it interesting by adding pictures and sometimes videos relevant to the topic at hand.
'Forum Collage' I guess you could call it.
Actually I want to do a lot more than just pressing little plastic buttons and I guess that's why I got into exercising because at least that takes place in the physical world, and because it's an individual thing I don't suffer that self - judgment from it like I do with other activities like Art or Music.
