I know that sounds simplistic. I have had RPGs to play within over the last year and a half or so (Lavendar in a short game, Snape in an on-going letter-based game that got away from me, and Ginny in a wonderful Post-Book7 game that became much more demanding than I'd originally believed). I've joined the choir at two separate churches in the lasst two years. I've joined a social group for young professionals. And all of them were nice, and fun, and enjoyable, but trying to keep up with a schedule, with other people relying on me, made the "fun" as stressful as my job.
So, I've backed myself out of everything that requires an actual time commitment, with meetings, and obligations. I completely altered the format of my LJ. And I write here, and play with pictures and layouts and text here, and interact with friends here. And I feel safe and loved, and at ease. It's my fun.
Although my trips the the gym with Kathy are terrific, "just for us" time, which certainly counts as a delight.
And I'm starting a Church and Society activism group in my new congregation -- I think that will be incredible. And I expect it to be stressful, in really good, change-making ways.

In a nutshell, that's my fun. :-)
