Do some project management courses, best to do industry specific ones, and build up a wide portfolio of them. Got things like prince2 to health and safety(iosh) and everything in-between.

I am a QA and I would really like to move into Project Management, but I am not sure when that would be possible at the moment.

This actually sounds like a reasonable idea and I'm not sure why you have given up on it so easily. Why not start working towards a qualification in project management? There may be not opportunities at the moment but who knows what things will be like in a year or so? You can always look to opportunities in other companies in the future once you have some qualifications.

Fly a kite? Like, get really good at it so you can enter some competitions and rise to the elite ranks of the semi-professional kiteist.

Or more sensibly, find something that will help you enter project management.

How about ice carving under water in the med?

Google does this. My work has picked up an approximation to it as one day a fortnight on company-approved tasks.

I'm currently sticking python and C++ together using boost :: python with aspirations of using the former to test the latter. It's been good.

I don't know if it counts as a skill, but I'd probably learn to juggle. When I was at uni, a friend and I agreed to spend 15 mins every day learning to walk on our hands. We actually got pretty good. Can't do it now as it requires some pretty strong upper-body strength and balance.
