Bonebag: haha :p I know what that's all about. My dad had this Volkswagen golf, no power steering I tried to learn how to drive in that 
I say try because between dad being all too jumpy, and the golf I didn't end up learning, it made me all too nervous to drive. But its coming.
Minerva: Wow! that's an awesome accomplishment, but it's rather crappy that the experience turned sour! I (unfortunately) don't swim well. -_-', I like to do it, but I can't swim in waters that are deeper than I am tall. I almost drown a couple of times when I was a kid (once found a drop off, the other when I was out with my dad fishing) so if I can't touch the bottom I get nervous. Mike took me to a lake to swim at one day after working a disgustingly hot and humid day at the racetrack. You had to go down this rock slope and then the water was there, but it was a sheer drop off 2 feet after the water's edge. I tried, but ended up getting out quickly, with the beginnings of a panic attack.
Copper: I'm in the opinion if it gets you moving, it's physical activity

I swim! I also walk 30 minutes uphill (AND IT'S A STEEP HILL) every day to get from the train station to my college. That ought to count for something.
Other than that, I lift (bottles of beer) and am an avid practitioner of that lovely sport called "sitting".

In that case, getting up to care for my elderly grandmother and dog sitting for friends across town counts too. *shot*
But Wii Sports, even if it isn't real sports, DOES get me active, I guess. If you get me together with a friend who's hard-core about playing with me (I live with parents who aren't into gaming much in any aspect), we can go for hours playing Wii Sports Resort to the point of aching arms the next day from all that Wii-swingin'.

But uh, my lack of sports aside, we are huge Dallas Cowboys fans in this house-- and Texas Rangers fans to a lesser extent (remember when the Cowboys has a 0W-15L streak in the 90's? yeah, my dad was the man who sat at home on Sunday afternoon after church, with his cowboys gear on, watching the game alone because his friends didn't want to watch a failing team-- that's how big-a fans we are around here).
If it makes you feel any better... I'm an Indianapolis Colts fan...

Ooooh, archery?! What kind? I have a recurve bow that probably needs a new string...but I should take it up again. I still would like to try longbow, but I'm afraid I don't have the upper body strength for it. (I did know a guy who had a longbow, and he'd just pull it a little ways back for the arrow to embed itself in the target--it was crazy strong.)
Yep, longbow
Usually with a 30lbs draw-weight, although the highest I've managed is 50.
Dis, it's official. You are a must have on my emergency zombie apocalypse squad. :o never run out of ammo!
I love to geocache. Does that count as a physical activity?
