i used to draw too. i was always good at drawing but never took classes or persued it. i wish i would have. that's one of my life's regrets. i used to be able to sit 3-4 hours at a time drawing
I spend a bit on gardening- Here it has to be a roof top garden done in pots. Those strat adding up eventually when re potting requires bigger pots.
I travel as well so as soon as I have some extra cash I go somewhere. In March off to Hong Kong for the IRB 7's tournament.
Took up violin a few months ago so can see myself spending a few extra bucks there in the near future.

May not seem like much but I keep ant colonies. When most people hear that they think of ants collected from your backyard and crammed into a jar with dirt. Nooo, not me. I make formicariums, plaster nests, and nests carved from concrete. All desinged so you can see into them. And boy, when you have a full blown colony you really get into it. Catching the queens in the spring time is the hard part, it takes a lot of luck, and a trained eye. I currently have 18 colonies, and the biggest one having around 50,000 ants. Mine are more exotic since I live in Florida, so no I don't keep fire ants.
I gave up 4 wheeled transportation about 5 years ago. So anything with two wheels would be my "monster hobby". Despite living in New England, I ride a motorcycle to work/school year round.
My bikes are nothing fancy, they are 17 years old, but are more reliable than any car I have ever owned. I own a matched pair of 1993 Honda ST 1100's. If one needs any mechanical help I can ride the other one. Between them they have have 182K miles on them, they get 50 mpg and insure for $8 a month.
My tuition bills would have left me homelss 5 years ago if I hadn't done this. At first it was out of financial need, but now... its just a way of life. I don't think seeing the plow trucks faces as I go by on a bike will ever get old either....
