Grumbling about silly, time-wasting poll questions like this one...
So why waste more time replying?
I like this question! For me it's music - I've played the flute pretty much all my life, and just started playing trumpet a year ago.

Can't imagine a life without the arts - or having friends who don't love the arts.
I'm an opera subscriber (and did semi-professional choir and played two instruments for many years), see dozens of exhibitions every year (though I suck at expressing myself through figurative arts), go to at least a concert a month (jazz, rock, classical and ethnic fusion) and I am and have always been an avid reader.
For the past 5 years, I've also returned to writing. I currently write short stories... See more Can't imagine a life without the arts - or having friends who don't love the arts.

For the past 5 years, I've also returned to writing. I currently write short stories and literary non-fiction as my creative outlet (and occasionally get published in lit magazines). It doesn't add much to my income, though I spend a lot of time honing my craft, but it does infuse my life with meaning.
Without all of this, I can't imagine how I'd live through some of the more dreary technical translations I do annually.

First time I hear that an art, a hobby or an occupation is “dominant” in someone's life.
Let me guess: Now Proz has teamed up with Google Translate (or Google AI, its lesser sibling) to create quick polls!

My favourite art form is snark, and I think I am in good company here.

I have got to be the least artistically gifted person that I know, but am in awe with beauty which, for me, comes in the shape of music, painting, sculpture and, of course, and above all, nature.

Writing, poetry, history, knitting, designing, bead work, the urge to travel, explore. especially the interconnection between languages spoken in different parts of the world, e. h. Hai means both yes and shark, etc., etc. Too many to list them all.

I used to be a good bass player + vocalist, and I had a rock band for a while, which was not bad at all. I even studied classig guitar when I was young. But since I got married, it became only a hobby, and since my third child was born, my guitar has been sitting in a closet, and it's probably full of spider webs now. I am still, and always will be a music fan, and music follows me wherever I go. It's always playing while I'm working, driving, cooking or whatever.

I am studying for a BA in Physics and Mathematics at the Open University - loving it, but really hard to find the time!  Although a complete beginner at the moment, I love photography, so starting to do some astrophotography - putting together two things I like! I still have a lot to learn though... Apart from that I play piano (very badly, so just for myself to relax sometimes).

Writing, drawing, knitting, crocheting, spinning, making jewelry, nail art, cooking... They all fight for dominance. The only thing that has kept me from trying my hand at dyeing is the space and money needed to get the right setup going.
