Creating a vast and detailed fantasy world that encompassed my family's large farm and most of my grandparents farm. (They lived close.) When I started school, school figured into it as well. Good way of dealing with the boredom of living on a (relatively) isolated farm. Nearest kid my age was well out of walking or biking distance, so I had to entertain myself a lot.
Do you sometimes feel like you've wasted too much time?

"I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
