What are your hobbies? - Page 2

I spend time going to auctions and antiquing. I sell antique and vintage items on ebay (part-time) and have a booth in two local antique malls. I find it very interesting and a fun way to learn about all types of things.

It is the furthest thing from my legal career, and that is a very good thing!

Wow, Curtis, you lead quite the exciting life. I would try to hang out with you, but I don't know if I could keep up with you, reading nursing books and all...

JK - hey, do you want mine?

I read, mostly fiction.
Love to go to/rent movies, but I don't as much as I'd like.
I like scrapbooking, but I haven't been into it in a while. I'm making one for my Goddaughter's first birthday next month.
LOVE photography, but I've never taken any classes or anything.
Camping. Cabin, tent, whatever. We go at least 3 times every summer.
Walking (at parks, through the neighborhood, doesn't matter)

OK, I just realized - my oh my, don't I lead an exciting life...

****s and giggles.

Like I said, they stay boxed up except when I'm going to the Ren Faire, and then they do nothing more than hang from my belt, along with my dagger and other assorted trinkets.

I have amassed quite a collection of metal handcuffs though. I have four pairs, one of which has fuzzy covers to go over it for comfort.

(I only actually bought one pair of cuffs - and not the fuzzy pair, either - the rest have been given to me.)

I am as single as they come, so all that stuff just gets stored away and not used.

The trouble is that most audiences don't give a **** and just want to be entertained, which suits me fine because I love comedy. I've only turned one of my own scripts into a film (actually 2 but the legalities resulted in friends threatening to sue) and this was a mockumentary. Not in-your-face comedy, more a case of highlighting film structure by changing it slightly and catching the audience off-guard right when they think they're in a serious moment. This particular one was a real documentary about pet funeral directors. The elements of comedy worked as we hoped when the audience tried not to laugh due to the subject of death, but found that they couldn't help themselves. I love making them feel bad about laughing and generally taking the piss out of our subjects.....although I haven't yet faced them with a copy of it so that won't be so enjoyable.

Your documentary sounds very interesting, especially for the comedy elements

. Are you thinking to send your work to festivals? It's a good way to promote it and find a distribution.

Tsai Ming Liang has just done the same with Tian bian yi duo yun. It's a porn movie that mocks itself, mixed to a crazy comedy, a musical and the usual essay about contemporary loneliness. It has just won a prize at Berlin Film Festival not that it proves anything, but who saw it said it's his best work.

Camping is fun. However, there must be showers available. I'm not THAT much into roughing it.

WildInTheWind · #24 02-21-2005, 09:15 PM

I feel like I don't really have any hobbies anymore, other than bootleg collecting. I tried to learn to play the guitar for about 3 years...I never really caught on so I gave it up. I can draw really well, but haven't done that in a long time. Of course, an internet addict. After having my daughter I don't really do much other than watch cartoons and and other little kid stuff. The time I have to myself I spend on the damn computer.

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 was very into metaphysical studies, too, for awhile. Very interseting stuff...

I'm with you, I'd die. I need a shower and a shave. I feel like the biggest scrub if I can't shave every day.

At least I'm not in a cabin.

Seriously, I can't stand to be grimy.

Ah, you would've been thrilled with the month me and my friend spent camping in a tent in Alaska.

(Coincidentally, she was a Pisces. still is, I suppose). It rained a lot, but on the upside we went to the place every few days to take showers. Oh, and there was an Arby's at the end of our campground.

The best part? We were packing salmon eggs into boxes all day!

I took my boyfriend camping last summer, and he practically died. It was about 40* out; we were sleeping downhill.

He kept bitching about wanting to check into the lodge.
