What are some things that you do for yourself?
Not just things that are good for you but things that increase the FUN QUOTIENT in your life.
Looking for ideas because I have never been good at playing or creating fun, and I think it is something we all need.
soooo Ideas PLEASE

going shopping with my best friend, and we never spend very much money, we're both pretty cheap and like to bargin shop
visit local museums, and public gardens. We don't have much around here, but it's still fun to go once in a while
read a great book, or watch a movie
camping
I'm pretty low key, so even talking on the phone is a fun thing for me to do.

Seriously awesome question, Cyd. I'm looking forward to everyone's answers.
I love to sing and am a closet karaoke queen. If the venue is low-key and the host is good, the audience is usually supportive. Everyone understands that we're not there to be stars, but to sing and have a good time.
I like to journal, and have been challenging myself to be more "free" and outside the lines with it. Usually I just write streams of words. As little rewards now I buy myself art stickers, brush pens, little paints and try to be more colorful and creative. I'll thank myself when I read them again in 10 years!
Back to music--I bought an iPod for a graduation gift last year. So now a small, fun reward is a few $.99 ea. new songs to add to my collection. Helps when I'm walking, too!
I've decided to learn how to make walking mixes with beats per minute. Here's a link that lets you figure out a song's BPM by taping to the beat:

Laughter! I'll go see an improv show (sometimes college or high school groups have them for free). I'll also "play" improv with my friends, using some of the games they use.
And games nights or themes nights are good for small groups of friends. OK enough from me.
