Mine are playing guitar and mandolin, local history (I spent a few hours Sunday after liturgy, trespassing in several areas, so I could look at sections of the disused Illinois and Michigan Canal, and I'm a hardcore crime buff.

I love to write. I think I've started (and stopped) about 10 different books in about 7 years. I also love history. I'm a huge fan of medieval Spanish and Tudor Era British history. I also enjoy playing my guitar and playing golf and other sports like football, softball and volleyball. I'm also a movie junkie.

History/nostalgia, languages (I know four, two of them related), pop culture, music (not an expert), architecture (same), 'Law & Order'... usually in summer I ride my bicycle a lot.

Great choices Katie ! I'm a big 16th century fan myself. The three best books I've read on that era are the following
Henry VIII:The Politics Of Tyranny by Jasper Ridley
Mary Queen of Scots by Antonia Fraser
Bloody Mary by Carolly Erickson
I could go on awhile here.

Hi all ... I guess my top favorite thing is reading ... to me, a book, a nice chair, and a cup o' tea makes for a perfect afternoon. Also, I do love whitewater rafting .... but, alas, at this point in my life, none of my friends are willing to go with me ... they seem to have physical issues which prevent them from doing it. I also love watching bluebird's and their boxes, feeding birds, walking in the woods, and just "sitting and being" somewhere, alone, preferably in the mountains.

I am an all-time Star Wars Fan. I like TV and movies in general.
On TV, I'm currently following: Grey's Anatomy (GREAT episode last night), Desperate Housewives, Two and a Half Men, The Big-Bang Theory.
Of course, Battlestar Galactica just finished. Fantastic show!
Recent movies I liked: Slumdog Millionare, Under the Same Moon, Journey to the Center of the Earth, The Dark Night, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Doubt, Milk, What Happens in Vegas, 21.
I also like to read, but these days all my reading time goes to my assignments for the Diaconate Formation program, so they do not count as hobbies.
I am becoming addicted to Sudoku.
Shalom,
Memo

Mine are pretty generic, but I do love history (mostly pre-Enlightenment European history and Classic European and Near Eastern civilizations), and traveling (biased to Europe again!).
I also really like maps. I could stare at a city, county, state, or country map for hours...but the more specific, the better. I love finding "short cuts" to go anywhere, even if they're not really shorter. I love exploring the lay out of a city by traveling off the beaten path. It's something I've inherited from my mother.
I lived and breathed tennis for a few years growing up, but since coming to college I don't play nearly as much. Still follow it extremely closely, though.

Two comments: 1. Being that this is an Eastern forum, one can be misled by the title of 'What are your passions'!!!  In the lingo of the Church Fathers, the 'passions' are those various sinful vices our human natures struggle with...so one might half expect to come to this thread to read about everyone's particular sin that they struggle with!  *EEK* (wouldn't Jerry Springer like that one?!?) LOL 2. I haven't seen listing the 'Byzcath.org' forum as anybody's passion or hobby!! Alice

Passions I save for confession. My hobbies that I am very serious about are photography and videography. The evolution in both of these areas in the past 35 years (since I was a teen) is amazing. In IC XC, Father Anthony+
Everyone baptized into Christ should pass progressively through all the stages of Christ's own life, for in baptism he receives the power so to progress, and through the commandments he can discover and learn how to accomplish such progression. - Saint Gregory of Sinai

History we have in common. I also like L&O. I used to really like L&O SUV until it started being about Elliot & Olivia's personal lives and jumped the shark. I'm into folklore and urban legends. Of course 5 dogs keep me busy too!

I share your love for maps. I've always loved them. If you ever get a chance to visit the Vatican museums, they have a map room that is absolutely entrancing to a map lover. I spent hours there. In fact, that is where I became pretty sure that I was going to marry the man who is now my husband. If he could stare at maps with me for 3 1/2 hours and be excited, too, we were a pretty good match. Elizabeth
