I love baking, but I don't like cooking dinner... I also love playing guitar and piano, though I still kind of suck at the guitar, just started about a year ago. Drawing is probably my favorite hobby besides writing. I love designing clothes (I'm really girly). A not so girly hobby of mine is playing video games. I don't get to do it that much because of school, as when I start playing I play all day and don't get anything done. Also, my boyfriend hates playing with me because I camp apparently. I prefer to call it winning.
I used to like indoor rowing and am trying to get back into it but I'm not as fit as I used to be. Swimming. Studying and learning just for the sake of it-mainly history & philosophy. Cooking, baking and cake decorating. Babysitting any one (or all) of my 4 granddaughters
Mmm .. yup. Cooking. Also, traveling, hiking, yard work (I love yard work!), letter writing, and coming up with ideas for things I want to do I don't have the time or finances to do - like this new & used bookstore/internet cafe hubby and I have been designing for years. I guess you could say our stopping in at every used bookshop we find is a hobby.
Well this is interesting, i just found out that two of you are girls and I had assumed that you were men because of the avatars. Not that it matters here. I like kayak fishing, scuba diving, motorcycles, hunting wild hogs with a muzzle loader or crossbow. Laying on the sandbar at the river across the road and drinking beer in the cool, shallow water is a good pastime.
exploring ruined castles and medieval churches, Girl Guides, gardening, my cars, photography and searching out varieties of Gruner Veltliner I can purchase in Canada.
I have the most mismatched hobby list ever. History, languages, bass guitar, bodybuilding, and kickboxing. The last two are more recent additions. I've done archery and fencing in the past, and want to take up horse-riding but it's too expensive.
I enjoy some , printing, gardening, woodworking, drawing, mathamatics, the last one never ceases to amaze me although I could never understand it in school.
Reading (philosophy, history, science, politics, theory, fiction, poetry, plays), playing guitar, listening to music, being with friends, and Scotch - I'm very picky about Scotch, with my favorite being either Johnny Walker Black label or 12 year old Glenmorangie.
i suppose you could say so, if you consider all one does that isn't 'work-related' to be done 'for fun'... however, since i mentor and tutor fledgling writers of prose, poetry, movie and tv scripts, etc. full time, and am also a full time practicing philosopher/writer, then it's actually 'work-related'...
Oh boy... How to condense this: Beyond writing: 1. Gaming, on PC and other consoles 2. Music, namely Guitar and Singing, though I'd love to learn Piano if I could find the time 3. Archery, now that the weather's starting to cooperate 4. Reading, of course. Who doesn't love a good book? 5. Strategy Games, such as Settlers of Catan or Magic: The Gathering. 6. Live Action Role Playing. The geekiest thing I've seen and done, and sure as h*** love it.
Everyone here has such cool hobbies. Horseback riding can be expensive ... and there are ways to cut the costs. If you are willing to spend the time, private barns may trade - in full or in part - several hours of mucking stalls and other work for a free lesson here and there. Additionally, hippotherapy clinics may exchange volunteer hours in working with kids with autism learn how to ride for a free lesson here and there. It is a fun hobby. You could have stopped by my house a couple weeks back and I would have been happy to teach you, but I'm afraid I just re-homed my girl. It wasn't the expense but the time.
My interests lie with video games, animals, cooking and learning about the past. I'm a mixed bag of different things.
Main thing that takes my free time up outside of writing is playing in a pop punk band: writing, practicing and recording and producing the stuff (or at least attempting to)
Interests outside of writing? Oh well... crocheting, counted cross stitch (though just started that), watching hubby play video games, my cats, cooking and umm.. rescuing abandoned dragons.
Always wanted to do outdoor stuff like hike, canoe, camp, walk through ruins, explore stuff...something that keeps me moving and interested. But in reality, politics, art, physics and theoretical physics (love daydreaming), comedies and anime like Family Guy and One Piece, writing, economics, and a growing interest in mystery, the occult, and the macabre. They are like twisted puzzles of human drama.
Reading I'm the biggest bookworm, even if I didn't read many classis books. Also, I would say studying.
That's cool, Gallowglass. I love to write and play basketball. Those two things are pretty different as well. Yeah, MRice, I rescue abandoned dragons sometimes, too.
Reading, playing video games, social networking, blogging. I had a pretty good workout routine too but lately I've been a lazy recluse.
My favourite things outside writing, are reading fantasy/sci-fi novels, as thats where i get my inspiration from, however, i did read Craig Roberson's Snapshot a few days ago. It was ok. Not the best thing I ever read it was a bit predictable... I know nothing about crime and stuff so really my opinion may as well be void. Anyway. I also love football, and living in North east of England, I support Sunderland, the rivals of Newcastle, I also play football in my spare time. Other than that I don't really do much other than coursework from all three subjects i do in Sixth Form.
So a sort list. Running, firearms and different shooting sports, motorcycles, trying to make things, (generally fails) hiking/ backpacking, travel, socializing, rising hell, random yelling matches in the subway( rarely but they are epic when they happen).
Fencing when I can, though university life has hit any hopes of training as much as I'd like hard. Music's another great passion of mine, has always been just listening but lately I have been trying to teach myself guitar, went very well for a while but has hit a bit of a rut lately, hopefully if I can find a new song to learn that'll invigorate me some more.
Was not the gaming I was taking a crack at my self with, it's that I enjoy the Guinness more than the people I drink it with.
