How do you express yourself?

This is something I have been thinking about lately, inspired by others telling me how they express themselves I got to thinking about how I express myself.

For you my readers the most obvious way I express myself is through writing, and you get quite an intimate insight into that on this blog, from the day to day posts about whatever is on my mind the issues raised in the news, and then of course there are my short stories which you get to read.  The latter is an interesting point I should raise - my stories rarely portray my thoughts or feelings and they certainly don't touch on issues that affect me - not really.

I have never really wrote about being gay, mostly for the fact that its not that much of an issue for me I have quite accepted it a long time ago and this blog is meant to be an example to the world that you can be gay and have thoughts and opinions on anything and everything and not everything has to be about your sexuality.  My short stories that I write have never really touched on sexuality either, that's not out of any conscious decision just simply a consequence of my thoughts dwelling on other things.  The main focus of my stories tends to be the plot and the world the characters live in.  Character development has never really been a strong point, I tend not to give back stories but instead let the reader get to know the character through the story - this is a shortcoming however as it creates quite 2-dimensional characters, granted in a short story that's not that much of an issue.

What all this has to do with expression is simply that writing is my main method of expression but as far as my works of fiction go, I do it in a manner that does not delve too deep into my psyche.  The only forms of writing that express myself duly would be the opinion pieces I share.  Beyond writing I tend to draw occasionally but it's never been anything that complex.  I think the only other form of expression I would have would be my games and music.  The latter being a key that can unlock any situation.  No matter the mood you can find a piece of music that will match it. 

As for games they have somewhat moved along an inverted bell curve for me.  When I was younger they were a big part of my life then for a while they were virtually removed completely - while I studied Computer Science with Games Technology in University - but recently they have been reclaiming their presence and my love for them is growing.  I advocate games as a method of expression for the simple fact that as with music regardless of mood you will find a game that matches it.

Some people: draw, write, compose music, make comics, make animations, play an instrument, work-out, work on self-defence disciplines such as kung-fu or boxing, as well as many others.  How do you express yourself?
