What are your hobbies?
 
I was just wondering what people like to do in their spare time. Tell us about it.

I really don't do too much right now. I am trying to get into photography. I seem to like it. I collect Fleetwood Mac stuff but I have not done that in a while. I go though phases I guess. A few years back I used to be into metaphysical studies but I lost interest after a while.

I read a lot - anything - but right now I have decided to get caught up on my childhood reading lol - I never read Laura Ingalls Wilder books as a kid - so I'm reading them now :D

I like to write
paint
rollerblade or bike
watch movies :rolleyes:
make jewelry (though haven't in a long time)

I used to make candles - until a pan full of hot melted wax spilled onto my hand - that was SO painful - I haven't made candles since :p

Apparently, sitting at my computer is now a hobby. :rolleyes: I read excessively. I like to play outside. I like to play Volleyball and Softball, but haven't been lately. Letting my cats in and out at their whim. :laugh: Sometimes I make jewelry. Singing. Yoga. I like movies, but don't watch as many as I want. Oh, and I became addicted to Crystal Maze this weekend. :laugh: :rolleyes:

Let's see...

I love to paint and draw.
I love to watch and read about movies.
I collect music/bootlegs from my favorite artists.
I love to read.
I write a lot.
I sing all the time.
I used to do a lot of acting, but not so much anymore (*weeps*).
I exercise every day, though I don't necessarily enjoy it. :laugh:

I read a lot. Lately re-immersed in the novels of Graham Greene. I'm also terribly crafty- I crochet, mainly. Some knitting. I sew. Can work with beads and other forms of jewelry, and lots of papercraft- specifically origami. Drinking was a hobby- one I can't have anymore. And if drinking counts, then so does smoking- since I tend to roll my own. That's a hobby!!

My mom crochets - and I've always wanted to learn - I'm hoping she'll teach me next time I'm home - it just seems like such a calming hobby - and she makes the most beautiful blankets - I've got three of them at home and I think I've got another one waiting for me in New Mexico :D

The usual... when I have money I like to go to movies (or rent) and concerts or comedy shows. I'm such a geek for museums, art galleries, documentary screenings, IMAX films, etc. I used to go horsebackriding a lot when I was a kid (never had lessons or anything though) but it's pretty expensive now. Taking pictures, fiddling with computer stuff, reading, swimming, trying to find things to be involved in on campus, volunteering, hanging out at the beach. I used to sketch, but not so much anymore. Collecting FM stuff, discovering new music.... Is shopping a hobby? That too.

wondergirl9847 02-21-2005 03:41 PM

Stupid computer
 
Yeah ditto on the computer thing. It's like frickin heroin. LOL

Things I enjoy doing daily:

Surfing the net
Watching TV
Listening to music

Things I love to do, but don't seem to do anymore :( :

Write poetry and stories
Bowl
Rollerskate
Play guitar

Things I'd like to take up as a hobby:

Painting (I can't draw for crap...I would just like to see what I'm capable of making.)
Singing (I sing when I'm home alone, but I wish I had the guts to sing in front of others.)

Hmmm...
 
music collecting, music catalogging, figuring out my very FUBAR family tree & just being a complete hemmoroid (aka "Big pain in the ass") on this ass known as Earth :nod:

Well let's see -

I seem to collect animals - currently own 21 hermit crabs, 4 rats, 4 bettas, 2 cats, and a toad.
I collect cds and movies - own approximately 400 of each
I used to collect Charming Tails figurines, but have run out of space for them.
Even though I'm really just a Buckingham fan, I still collect Fleetwood Mac stuff - including solo material from Stevie and Christine. I also buy anything Walter Egan releases - even the Brooklyn Cowboys stuff, which I don't like.
I like to write short fiction stories and am in the process of writing my first novel. I'm not a prolific writer, though. I'm too perfectionistic with my work and get blocked too frequently to get anything completed in a reasonable amount of time. If anybody's interested, you can download (MS Word files) three of my stories at http://missvicky.741.com/fiction.html
I am also a Renaissance Faire nerd. I have two different costumes, both pirate costumes but one is a dress and the other is basically a man's outfit (and I started wearing them long before the Pirates of the Caribbean movie came out). Of course a friend of mine swears that it's not so much a Ren Fair costume as it is my "weekend outfit." Since part of my costume includes two different whips, a flogger, and leather cuffs. Okay, so I have something of a bondage fetish... so what? :shrug: They actually stay boxed up except when the Faire's in the area.

I think that's basically it.

I'm insane when it comes to buying movies. I have so many that my spare room is filled with just movies. :laugh:
