 >...more important, your definition of what constitutes a 'Hobby'.

I see "hobbies" distinct from "interests" in that hobbies are more hands-on endeavors, where interests are more passive.  For example, if you have an interest in trains, then you probably read about them, watch them, etc., but you don't build model trains, make trips to famous round houses, etc.  "passtimes" are just that, something to do to kill time, like playing games on your phone while waiting in the checkout line at the store, that kind of thing.
