Got a hobby?

Evil Chris · 09-27-2006, 02:28 PM

I've become a bit of a bird watcher.
I know... 10 years ago, that would have sounded pretty boring to me as well, but for some reason I have gotten into it these past couple of years.

It's incredible the number of species that visit my backyard.

What's your hobby?

LMFAO Chris, I don't know why I laffed out loud but I too have found I do the same thing, I love it but not a hobby for me....

I collect butterflies

Snowboarding, and playing video games with my son.

Oh and planting trees... We have lived in our home now for 6 years and each fall and spring we plant about 12 trees, now we have a good number of birds flying around, mostly from the trees that were here when we first moved in... I guess it's time for me to go pick up a book...

Got any suggestions?

I inherited a stamp collection. Stamps mostly from Great Britain and (some from) continental Europe. I add to it occasionally.

On tree planting? No idea but that's an interesting hobby as well. Once a year I get a bit of a green thumb and get out in the yard planting flowers, but not much more complicated than that.

McKidd... interesting. I have a very small stamp and currency collection that I have not added to in over 10 years. But there are some gems in there.

SilvercashJeanette · 09-27-2006, 08:32 PM

Interesting question...I can't say I really have a hobby because I don't do any of these things on a regular basis, but whenever I have time and am in the mood I like to sew and embroider, paint, write stories and poems, and I love wood working, but haven't been able to do it in years because I don't have the tools for it.

Ok...that last sentence came out highly sexual, but I assure you that is not the kind of wood I was refering to.

I don't have a hobby. I work, go to the gym, eat and sleep. Once in a while if I am really good I get to go out for a nice dinner and a few drinks.

born2blog · 09-28-2006, 10:46 PM

blogging is a main part of my work and a hobby also

Panky · 09-29-2006, 12:40 AM

I like to sketch, paint, do some artsy craftsy kind of stuff, read, and cross stitch.

SweetKayla · 09-29-2006, 05:48 AM

I dont really have a hobby any more I read all the time, 3 books a week. I used to dance, loved it but then moved away and didnt start again

Kenny B · 10-01-2006, 03:02 PM

I wouldn't consider it a hobby, but 4-5 nights a week I go for walks downtown, give $ to homeless and buy them some hot dogs or pizza slices and talk to them for a bit.

They all have a story to tell and many have lessons to learn from. Some of them are crazy and I don't get further then here's a quarter, I really feel for them as the nights are getting much colder.

It's all about karma, I've been having a great year and I think it's important to help out where we can.

We don't have many birds or trees downtown, but there a load of bums, I guess your enviroment can dictate your intrests lol

Evil Chris · 10-02-2006, 10:49 AM

Kenny, I didn't know that about you.

Kenny B · 10-03-2006, 10:37 AM

Thanks all, it is a fun and rewarding thing to do. I have to find a solution for the winter so that I can get them all some nice hot coffee at night. Being homeless during the summer months here isn't bad, I can't imagine the winter!

TheLegacy · 10-03-2006, 11:19 AM

well we moved into our new home and planted 21 trees within the first 3 weeks. I would say my hobby's could be pool, chess or any strategy game, Love golf though havent played in years but mostly seeing my wife happy

Sultrychloe · 10-03-2006, 11:49 AM

Well right now I'm working on my new web cam show. Can't wait to share it with you all.

Janell · 10-03-2006, 04:39 PM

I am a huge scrapbooker.

Seska · 10-03-2006, 05:33 PM

I like to cook but considering I need to eat, cooking is not quite a hobby. But then again if I ate like James (purely for survival) I would not need to cook. He does the simple heating up a burrito kind of thing. I like to find new recipes and add them to my repertoire. I cook something special nearly every day, sometimes twice a day. The other thing I do is read. Some of it is nonfiction as part of my research for my writing but some of it is novels for fun.

I collect the new US quarters here's the blurb from the us mint
From 1999 to 2008, the United States Mint will issue a new state quarter approximately every 10 weeks. Each quarter's reverse will celebrate one of the 50 states with a design honoring its unique history, traditions, and symbols. We've taken your favorite state quarters and created collectibles that you will treasure for a lifetime. Learn more about the 50 State Quarters®Program by visiting our "Special Programs" pages.

My parents bought me a holder for them that is the actual map of the us & there is a spot for a quarter in every state.

qUeenBeE · 10-04-2006, 03:36 AM

i have a long list: music jamming, playing guitar, sketching, painting, chess, reading books (mostly works by sidney sheldon, thomas harris, dean koontz, dan brown, james patterson, stephen king, neil gaiman, nicholas sparks, etc)

Quagmire · 10-04-2006, 07:45 PM

Is chronic masturbation a hobby, or a problem?

I golf, I putter around the yard, I build things. I play video games. thats about it.
