I'm facing the exact same situation, except I cannot care less about food, which frees up some cooking time.

How do you manage your social life along with these activities? I find that it gets in the way of things I do, but on the other hand, not keeping in touch with friends (who don't do the same activities as you) just drives them away.

I don't really have much of a social life. There is just no way I can manage it. I have friends whom I see about once a week or so. Those are the only ones who have stuck around after years of me not turning up to most things. I make time for my girlfriend, but often she is upset when I refuse to just sit and do nothing with her (like watch mindless TV).
