Have you been coding so much that it becomes your hobby?

I have been building stuff for about 8-9 months and I love it. Developing web pages, converting design to code and a hell lot of learning all the way. Recently when I was asked what hobbies I had other than coding i had to think for quite sometime. Few people here think it is weird to have it as a hobby..few appreciate it..what is your take on this? Has this happened to you anytime?
