You could always learn Japanese. Then you would be studying while enjoying Anime and live action films. Lots are just subtitled so you could hear how things should sound and that's a huge help when language learning. It would also give you access to untranslated stuff to enjoy.

Oldboy is Korean, but an excellent film. For Japan, start with the best: Seven Samurai, by Akira Kurosawa.

Video games and Anime...
How about creativity/fantasy?
How about story writing, acting, poetry, music, cosplay... these are suggestions I have. :)

Well, physical activity IS a good idea; it feels good, it's good for you, and it's something that anybody can do. If you're in a reasonably safe neighborhood, I totally recommend walking or cycling. Just getting out and moving can be a really wonderful thing. Get yourself an mp3 player and headphones, because if you're like me, you won't want to just walk; you'll want to have something to think about too. Audiobooks are my favorite, but I also like musicals. At the moment I have "Chicago" running through my head.

Another benefit: If you're clumsy, then doing physical stuff helps you get practice. It doesn't have to be sports; in fact, I don't really think sports are the best idea because of how much multitasking it takes. Just practice moving around and learning how to figure out where your limbs are and how you're balanced.


Though I have never actually tried it, Tai Chi would be perfect for this because of the slow and precise movements it requires...

For the opening poster, do you read books? I am heavily into fantasy games myself and though I started reading books when I was three I still enjoy it, especially anything by David Eddings (from where I get my name), Terry Brooks and the like :)
