I want a new hobby, something that can keep me busy during the day. I am really good with computers but they are starting to get boring because I have already done everything I can do on them. I like to build things but I don't have the tools or the money to make things. I do have a personal life for those who might think I don't. I haev a beautiful and sweet girlfriend that I love very much so that takes care of those that might reply imaturaly. Any seggestions on what I could possibly do?

Well, if you want to make something, the easiest and most interesting thing I can think of is the art of making origami - figures from folded paper. The net can be useful for details and ideas. You may also build things from unusual materials - paper-clips, cardboard (very suitable for small houses, like you are an architect that visualizes his project), toothpicks. Good luck!

Any type of model aircraft. You can buy them as ARF (almost ready to fly)...these tend to be rather expensive, kits (you build these), and scratch build (like a kit, except you cut out your own parts using the plan outlines).
This hobby can be expensive, especially if you get into radio/remote controlled giant models or helicopters. ...and there are three ways to fly them: radio/remote control (most expensive), controlline (most fun :D), and free flight (least expensive).
Controlline is you standing in the center and the plane flies in a circle around you. Sounds boring, but it isn't because there is the constant tug of the plane on the lines and you can do lots of aerobatics like loops and things.
Free flight is exactly the way it sounds. Launch the airplane and watch it fly. Be sure to wear some good running shoes, because if the plane lands far from you those running shoes will be needed.
Tools:
small and/or medium T-pins, get these from the sewing department at WalMart or a craft/fabric store
Glue (I recommend white or yellow), 100 grit sanding paper, sanding block (you can use scrap wood for this also)
saran wrap (to protect plans if you build the plane)
small pliers (needle nose, round nose)
small and medium flat blade screwdriver
One more thing...model airplanes never get boring.

Well given your outstanding skill level in computers, do you like music? If the answer is yes then you are in luck.. even if you have never played an instrument you can make your own music ( and copywrite it to) burn right onto a disc and sit back and enjoy not only your artistry but your true emotions. sony makes fantastic software very cheap(45.00 usd) and you can go on for years with just that set. it's called sony acid pro. you will love it, besides you might be the next super writer.

Try building model cars, you can build your dream car. I'd start off with Revell Easy-Kits and moving up from there. I would avoid AMT/Ertl, they lack quality and seem to be of 70's production. Revell is great for begineers, then you could move to Fujimi, Tamiya, and Revell of Germany. Many aftermarket companies that can help you.

How about building model? Airplanes, cars, battleships, fighters, etc. All the neccessary tools are available to buy right at the store and its not that expensive.
Otherwise, I suggest you try reading.
