Bloganuary 25th: my leisure time

What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time?

I’ll probably have to rank my activities/hobbies of choice for this prompt because although I currently have one in particular that dominates the top of the list, I have others that would take its place under different circumstances.

First and foremost is video games. I spend a lot of time playing a variety of games both with and without my family and friends. Puzzle and Room Escape games by myself help me stretch my brain a bit, and Survival Crafting games with friends to learn, problem solve, and manage things while exploring strange new environments. These days the family games are typically Fortnite, but occasionally we dabble in other games as we find common interests in the many different genres.

After that, if I had the time and capacity to, I would play Magic: The Gathering with friends for more than just a few hours every couple of weeks or so. If we could play a couple of times a week then I would definitely be playing video games less. Also, since I’ve recently managed to get my two brothers and a nephew into Magic, I’d hopefully play with them more frequently as well. Especially considering my nephew is still very new to the game and there is so much to learn.

I would most likely then spend a lot of time reading if I didn’t feel so drawn to spending time with friends near and far for the above activities. Sadly, my back log of books keeps growing. I’ll probably have to commit to reading through a few soon just so I can keep adding to it and not feel too guilty.

I’ll stop at the top three there for how I would prefer to spend my leisure time, otherwise I could just keep going on and on.
