Wow, some really self concious people here. Are hobbies not part of you?
My upbringing and hobbies I have now are part of me as they are part of all of you, whether you like to think it or not, they define your character. I love Badminton and Squash, they are superb sports to play. I love watching football. I am happy to admit these things. I am also happy to admit I read comics and play games. They are no different to my career. Yet when we introduce ourselves we do it by saying our career, but that's just a job. Most the time it's not something we are passionate about, like gaming.
Sure, I don't blurt it out but then who does for anything in any situation.
Me: "Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Dave, I like bananas."
Other person: "Er..., okay."
Hmm, pie.
