I occupy myself with video games nearly every single free, waking moment; and I also dwell in the fantasy world I've been developing since I was 6 or so (which if I go by that, means it's almost 20 years in the making; heh).
What keeps you sane?

Music in general. I love to just take my mind off of things by listening to it, or trying to study more theory about it, or even just sit and practice my scales and stuff on guitar for a while. It really helps me relax and keeps me sane.
Books.......lots and lots of books and my constant love for TRUE HORROR (Thank you H.P. Lovecraft)
Plus the determination to write my own book comes to mind, among other things I think my friends keep me sane (with a straight jacket when we go out, but none the less sane)

Me? Well, the main thing that keeps me sane is masturbation. Or thinking about something I will later be masturbating to.
Don't look at me like that. We all do it, I'm just man enough to be the first to come out and say it.
But other than... certain actions, I suppose optimism, humor, and just a general curiousness about the universe helps.

Honestly, it's probably that song "Always look on the bright side of life" by Monty Python.
In fact, if not for Monty Python and other comedians in general keeping me in a good mood I suspect that a few years ago there would have been quite a bit less people and unused bullets in my town.

I write, that tends to keep me more sane than anything. Escapism, you know? But it's the productive kind, I mean it's escapism but I feel like I'm doing something worthwhile too, so that's pretty badass, ultimately. Plus, I love to look back at my early stuff and see how far I've come - but that keeps happening, it's like every time I think I've got better I look back and see how I've got better still. I mean I wouldn't even say I'm good yet, I'm an amateur with more ideas than the ability to back it up, but one day I will be able to write what I want, and that's a really great thought for me, and more than anything it keeps me going.
I wouldn't claim to be sane. Don't worry, I'm not that guy, I just accept that there's always gonna be that voice in my head that tells me to put an axe through the person who says 'lol' without sarcasm.
But if you mean what keeps me out of a mental hospital then I'd go not shouting that at the cheese for cheating on me with the milk.

Writing, and my lover. Writing helps me get my emotions out of my system and my lover helps those emotions tend toward happiness.
My friends, videogames, work (yes, work, I'm weird like that) and the knowledge that if I were to die the world would not be able to handle my death, and would most likely crumble into total anarchy.
EDIT- Oh, and let's throw "magic: the gathering" in there, too. Building decks (I'm a tournament player, btw) and figuring out what works and what doesn't is beyond soothing.

I really don't know.
Right about now my life is pretty much fine, with the exception of me being the bearer of God's Almighty Cockblock. It use to be running, because strenuous exercise can beat the Emo out of you, But yeah...
Life is pretty sane for me. Subject to change in a week or two.
Edit: Oh, and the guy above me reminded me that work would be a factor in keeping me sane. Not work technically, more like a volunteer at Ronald McDonald house, but its still pretty fun.
