I read, mostly YAF (young adult fiction). As a logical extension of that, I write YAF. I've been working on a novel for awhile. It was shelved for a few months due to illness and upheaval (we moved from VA to TX), but I think I'm ready to start it up again.

I also help run an online RPG. I used to play tabletop games, but had a lot of bad experiences being the lone female in a group of socially maladjusted males.

A lot of my time is taken up by activist type stuff. Food Not Bombs, of late.
 
Other Hobbies

Aside from making mead. I read alot. Draw. Play Xbox with the family. Chill on the net. Make swords. Other than making mead I don't have a lot of time. I would love to make sausages and cheese though.

Oh, how could I forget?!?! Food is great. Hope I'm not stepping on any vegans or vegetarians out there, but there's nothing better than a good steak!

Well, brewing to me is part of my SCA life, which also includes fighting and leatherworking.
