Hobbies - Do You Have Any?

[ila]

Pretty well everyone here has the same 2 hobbies; namely computers and looking at, admiring, and talking about shemales.
Do any of you have any other hobbies? I like woodworking and fixing anything mechanical. I love building different things with wood, from small items through furniture and structures. I also love to work on vehicles, motorcycles, or anything else mechanical. I mostly do all this in summer because I don't have a workshop and it's too cold in winter to do any of this outside. When the temperature is -40 and the wind is blowing it's no fun to be out. Anyway I keep my tools in a shed because I don't have room in my house (I have a finished basement so there is no storage are inside). I have a lot of woodworking and mechanic's tools, but I believe in the concept that there is no such thing as too many tools.
So how about it what are your hobbies.

[tlover]

Don't have many any more really, i used to be into karate and kickboxing for a short while dot worry i didnt get far, at the same time became a big fitness freak jogging weight training swimming, Marathon's ect.
Always been a big music fan, all sorts.
I was quite keen on photography for a while.
i can never stay interested for very long on anything.:no:
I still do a little wight training and swimming in the summer try to keep fit.
Seriously i would love to get into some small armature movie making of some sort, i think you all know what my fave subject would be.;)

A few years ago I did some metal art. I tried to get some of it in a gallary but their demands made it too difficult. They really don't want just one piece that has value. They want a "supply" that they can charge a 50% mark up and make money on you. Fuck'em. I have art pieces from Maine to California and they are not for sale.

That sounds interesting. Does any of it involve welding? I've always wanted to try welding, but I'm not going to go out and buy a welder just to try it. I do like grinding and shining metal. Don't think I could make anything that would be considered art though.

[SSL]

I like woodworkingI think i had luck to see one of your works :D

On a more serious note, my hobby is of course photography. It was only once though that i got paid for my work and no, i did not shoot shemale porn ;)

I can weld :yes: TIG and MIG :yes:

Here is the inside of my Hobby :eek:

Good luck guys

[mykel73]

I like to draw and paint.

[Mad_Bad!!]

I play bass guitar in a hard rock band.
At the moment we only play cover songs (AC/DC, Kiss, Guns N' Roses... the usual stuff) but we plan on start writing something after we've played live for a while (we're getting started again 'cause we changed the singer) and get an established (and demoed) setlist.
I also like playing videogames and reading comics (I love Marvel).

[Arato]

For me Im in to my Battlefield2142 and Im also in to Tae Kwon Do, got my blackbelt in 1988.

[captaindunsel]

Definitely computers. When I was doing sys admin work, my then (shemale) girlfriend used to complain that I'd work on computers all day and then come home and play with them all night...

Of course, I always found time to play with her too. :D

Man, that's awesome. If I ever get down to TO I've gotta let you know so I can see that in person.

[BlueRaven88]

Pretty much my only hobbies are listening to music and searching for ladyboys online. not having much luck in my searches though (i'm not looking for porn or escorts, i'm looking for ladyboys that want LTR's with westerners).
I play a couple of video games though. At the moment I got back into Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn/Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal. Such a sweet game and add-on. Just completed tonight again in fact. This time around I played a Neutral Good Half-Elf Mage/Thief and did the romance with Aerie (hope you know what I'm talking about because it is an old style game brought out in 2001 or so, it's predecessor Baldur's Gate and Baldur's Gate: Tales of the Sword Coast were brought out in the late 90's)

Yeah feer my leet geekness -_-'

Try doing some cover work for Nirvana and/or Seether. They rock harder than tryhards like Kiss and AC/DC, and Guns'N'Roses only had 1 good song and it was Sweet Child of Mine, and don't start going on about how good AC/DC are or whatever cos I'm Australian and I STILL say they suck because it's true.

Seether have 3 albums by the way (technically 4 but the second was an extended re-release of the 1st so it has all the same songs plus more, so I only count it as 3 albums) - Disclaimer II, Karma & Effect, and their newly released album titled Finding Beauty in Negative Spaces. Personally Karma & Effect is my fave, but everyone has different tastes :respect:

[Mad_Bad!!]

I don't like grunge (I can bear only a little Soundgarden, but I totally hate Nirvana), and I fine modern alt rock and mainstream rock like Nickelback and Seether to be extremely dull, samey and boring.

I actually have a few dreams: a power metal group, a melodeath one or one to play nowadays obscure hair metal.
But I'm quite happy with what I play now. I love AC/DC, GnR and Kiss. I find modern rock bands to be the real "tryhards", 'cause they try to rock as hard as the old bands but always fail.

[Ogryn1313]

Hmm...too many hobbies. At 32 I'm still a kid at heart.

Wargaming and wargame model making, making model scenery.
I still play video games, PS2, PS3, PC.
Still buy graphic novels. Only dirty stuff though.
I collect all kinds of things. Even porn mags.
Target shooting.
Camping.
Masturbation.
Many more.

Lol I will admit that yes, Seether does get it's main influence from Nirvana, but the new bands don't rock as hard as the old ones? HAHAHAHAHA! Tell that to Lamb of God, Parkway Drive, Hatebreed, Bleeding through and many more; and Nickelback are trying to live up to no one's name. They are a unique band with no discernable influences in their songs, and at least all the new bands now adays have some decent grinding melodies to them (Nirvana had it also) and meaningfull lyrics, whereas retards like Kiss just basically sung about partying and gay crap like that, and AC/DC and GnR had no meaningful lyrics whatsoever, and all 3 bands (apart from the guitar solos in guns and roses, slash just plain melts faces) had very bland generic melodies to them.

If you want to follow up on more of Slash's work, he is now in a band called Velvet Revolver. They aren't half bad, but still aren't as good as the modern-day, bass-heavy singers, grinding music melody bands of today ;)

[Mad_Bad!!]

I was talking about modern rock bands, and you bring out modern bands which aren't rock but metal/metalcore/hardcore... what do they have to do with what we were talking about? I'm not an idiot, I know that Lamb of God play heavier music than both Seether and Kiss, but that's not the point. "To rock harder" and "to play a heavier genre" are different things. So you aren't convincing me of anything.
I already know (and like) like Velvet Revolver.
I find some of GnR songs to be very meaningful (have you ever listened to Civil War? Estranged? And I could go on...).
Kiss and AC/DC don't have very meaningful lyrics, I can agrre on that, but they surely are funny!!! And very catchy, also. By the way, I don't see what's wrong with lyrics about party or sex... what's your problem, you don't like having fun? Also, they influenced literally TONS of bands. And don't tell me Ace Frehley and Angus Young aren't good guitar players...

By the way, if you go in the topic abuot music tastes, you can get a better idea of what I like. I'm statring to think that you think I only like "old" bands...

This is a thread for hobbies. If you want to discuss the type of music you like then post in the music thread.

[epj290]

Well im abig geek....hobbies include copmputers,watcing sports, used to play chess and magic the gathering card game....and have been trying to learn how to play guitar...anyone here that plays mind giving me a few tips on how to get started.

[giancarlo]

What's an arc welding?

[mameluk]

hobbies? sure there are some.. historical stuff, like old women.. No, just kidding..
Hiking and diving:)

[jblast01]

I am a builder and artist. I design or work from plans to build finished projects. I work with wood, stone and steel. The best part of it. I get paid to have fun. This is my hobby. My current project is a restoration of a 100 + year old main street building in Arkansas, USA.
I also have a hobby shop at home where I build custom BBQs and cookers.

[Joebad]

Making images with Paint Shop Pro.

[ethaniel]

well as you said, except from computers and admiring shemales on web, i do like carving small pieces of wood making pendants, doing stuff to my website and admiring more shemales... :inlove:

[neoomegakupo]

I've been getting lazy with my hobbies. I like drawing, photo manimpulating, and 3D stuff but I haven't done those in a long time. I did a couple of shemale and hermaphrodite drawings in the past. I've been getting caught up with TV and internet surfing.

[wendals]

I like surfing and skateboarding

I don't like grunge (I can bear only a little Soundgarden, but I totally hate Nirvana), and I fine modern alt rock and mainstream rock like Nickelback and Seether to be extremely dull, samey and boring.

I'm such a philistine that I've never even heard of Seether, but I agree with you on Nickelback. The song that everyone really likes this year: "Rock Star"? UGH. Not my scene. I call them Oatmeal Rock. To each, their own.

For modern rock and of those currently putting out, I look to Oasis (Classic Beatles-esque stuff) and MUSE (Great Prog Rock). For the real heavyweights, Elvis (and all the other 50's stars), The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, Led Zep, Pink Floyd, Queen, Nirvana. People like GnR are very, very good, but not at that top level. IMO, anyway. For what it's worth, I listened to "November Rain" a bunch of times the other week.

Must also give a shout-out to more esoteric branches like shoegaze. Sofia Coppola (via "Lost In Translation" and "Marie-Antoinette") has put me onto some pretty cool stuff, like My Bloody Valentine and New Order. Thanks to Russell Brand, I also really dig The Smiths. Thanks to an Oasis-mad mate, I have a lot of love for The Stone Roses, too. Shit! There is so much stuff out there!

One confession: I don't really "get" heavier forms of music, but there are songs by Metallica and Nine Inch Nails that I find incredible. Of course, I'm only name-dropping people virtually everyone has heard of.

I can't really define my taste in music, except to say that I'm obsessed with Elvis. And I do mean OBSESSED. He is definitely one of my hobbies. I collect and talk about him -- and LISTEN! -- all the time. For other world class voices, I look to Sinatra, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Michael Jackson, Tim and Jeff Buckley and Amy Winehouse. Man, Amy has copped so much bad press, but one spin of "Back To Black" and I'm gone. In fact, I really love a LOT of soul / RnB / motown.

Today, I've been listening mainly to Elvis (non-rock stuff), Bobby Darin and Neil Diamond. Rock doesn't feature highly in my world. I also like film soundtracks -- in fact, I've been listening to the "End Credits" music for "Kill Bill, Volume 1" a LOT this week. Just can't get enough. The words "Tarantino" and "poor music" should NEVER go together. Apart from that sentence. If it happens again, the universe will implode. Then there's electronic stuff like Brian Eno, Daft Punk and Vangelis. I seem to like bits 'n' bobs from all over. Oops, this isn't the music thread, is it? :rolleyes: :D

Can I also just mention Elton John, The Bee Gees, ABBA (pop meisters supreme), Wham! and, oh shit ...... I'm a pop fiend, aren't I?


Masturbation.

LOL! This is every man's hobby!

The problem with me is that I have an obsessive mind. I get fixated on very specific things and can't shake them loose. They seduce me, noose me and won't let me go. This is becoming a real problem for me. Every time I go looking at porn (which is basically every day), I get totally crazed and feel like I have to experience it all. No matter how many shemale picture or movie pages I look at, it doesn't seem like enough. I have this desire to try and sample it all, lest it all fall from existence. So you can imagine my sense of being totally overwhelmed when I'm looking at all these thumbnails and knowing I can't possibly click them all. In fact, I don't want to click them ALL, but I want to click so many, and seek out others, that there's this restless part of my brain that won't simmer down. It keeps saying, "More! More! More!". LOL. I guess this is what it's like to have a drug addiction.

Anyway, my other hobbies include:

Films (Watching And Commenting Upon)
Books
Walking (For Miles)
Computers (Less Of A Hobby These Days)

[Bionca]

Hobies...

I play video games (MMOs) mostly as well as table top RPGs (Like Dungeons&Dragons). I read/collect comic books. I live sci-fi/fantasy books and films. I plan my survival in the even of a zombie apocalypse when I'm not doing anything else...

Gawd could I be a bigger nerd?

What's this? I seem to have been cloned!

I also play MMOs... well, just one. City of Heroes, and table top RPGs. I read Marvel superhero comics, and my Zombie plan needs a massive revision, since I've just moved to a new city.


I also practice Martial Arts, specifically Tae Kwon Do. I've got my first degree black belt, 'cause I'm bad-ass like that.

[transjen]

I use to play DUNGEONS&DRAGONS but lost intest when they came out with the 3rd edition rules, I also collect comic books and anything WONDER WOMAN :yes: Jennifer

[Bionca]

Sarah.. drat we were talking about COH a bit back... then I got sucked into WAR (aewsome game btw)... I'm not so into PK, but I kinda like kicking Dwarf azz in this game .. punks!

Jen - I think 3rd ed made D&D better than 2nd lots more variations IMO.. ya may just wanna give it a little try.

I adore Wonder Woman!! But my heart always goes to Black Canary - any gal who can pull off fighting crime in fishnets gets my vote!

Funny thing - almost evey TG I know (boy and girl) plays or used to regularly play RPGs - AND reads/read comics. I wonder if the same is true of the guys and gals who like us.

LuvAmy - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeons_%26_Dragons

this is an explanation of Dungeons & Dragons. It's actually better than I could write, but it s a little long.

I prefer 1st edt but anywho i played the game all the time back in highschool the thing i loved best was i was able to play a female chacter and no one ever said a thing about it or gave me odd looks, That and comic books and the sword of shannara novels let me escape to a place where i could be me :yes: Jennifer

[Arthur]

Nirvana = brilliant. Anyway Im into lots of stuff. Usually anything that would include the words.......that sounds dangerous........and in more relaxed moments drums and guitar (yep, can give lots of tips). Finally a very esorteric spiritual side which includes self discovery and helping others using different therapies......mmm pies :yes: Books, art, music, sex........not too interested in video games or drugs/booze (although I have experimented). I like people and love to try and understand different viewpoints.

[The Conquistador]

I mostly like to listen to music and work with metal. Welding and machining are my most favorite hobbies followed by playing games on my ps2(FPS mostly) target shooting and ammunition reloading. I like to work on vehicles, but it can be a pain in the ass sometimes. Should the muse descend, I can write some good poetry.

[new believer]

Listening and watching music concerts(Peter Gabriel,Pink Floyd, Todd Rundgren etc.)Read old books published before 1940. Hunting , fishing ,target shooting. Not good at video games but go bowling on occasion.

I don't and never have played RPGs. I've never cared for them. I used to read comic books, but not since I was about 12 or 13. When I did read comic books it was usually the typical super hero type that I read. I'm sure every young boy at one time or another has tied a towel around his neck and wondered why he couldn't fly just like superman. I also used to read Wonder Woman, but only because I liked looking at pictures of her (I guess I was horny even before I reached puberty or knew what horny meant).

[Bionca]

I never really liked many "boy" comics. I gravitated to more super-teams that feature strong female characters. Same with books and movies/TV shows. That has always been the case - if there wasn't a strong, capable, empowered woman I never really liked or identified with it.

I like those movies/tv shows too, but my motives aren't altruistic. I like seeing a good looking shapely woman that has nice legs and is showing some cleavage.

But, Bionca, you must like some boy comics.
After all, where would Black Canary be if she didn't have Green Arrow around to constantly drive her buggy?

As for me, just to add to the conversation, my hobbies have always centered on "creative" things to get away from the world. So, like others here, growing up I loved to read comics (still do) and I loved board games, which has since transitioned into loving video games. My favorite hobby and way to relax is to simply write and draw. Right now I'm teaching myself computer animation because my ultimate goal is to create my own online web shorts. But I also love going to the movies a lot or hanging out in a bookstore to see if there's some doofy paperback that will catch my eye. And if it's been an extra long or hard day dealing with work, then my favorite hobby is to simply plop on the couch and turn off my brain and watch whatever bad movie is on TV. But I think we all share that hobby! :p

[svartekaptenen]

I am interested in politics, I jump parachute from time to time, I like to learn foreign languages currently French, visit artmuseums but not modern ones,
read alternate historybooks, history in general, I like to take long walks but watch sports bores me except hockey and bandy and ofcourse travel, i am currently planning to go to Malaysia in Februari.

[Rachel]

I build custom fishing rods. I had some pics of them but they are in old hard drive. I'll take some new ones. Ila Ive seen a few welding scultures around here you could try. They build huge dinosaur skeletons out of junk. In my travels I'll try to get some pics of them.

[transjen]

I guess you can call this a hobby as it spon off my WONDER WOMAN collection, I get a homemade DVD of an old tv show called ELECTRO WOMAN AND DYNA GIRL so i made two custom action figures see attached photos one is of the custom figures and the other is a photo from the tv show they were based on

[dirty30]

[hellblazer72]

my main hobbies are collecting comicbooks, and drawing...secondary are movies, music and videogames...i'm a man of many taste lol

[ocinteeni]

My biggest hobby is electronic dance music, listening to it, researching it, talking about it, dancing to it, mixing it, and on occasion making a remix or my own track. NO I DONT LIKE GLOWSTICKS AND PACIFIERS AND I DONT HAVE TO TAKE ECSTASY TO ENJOY IT.

I love house, tech-minimal grooves. Percussive patterns in place of melody, and low down and dirty basslines. I like the stuff that is true to the genre so when i say techno dont think of that alvin and the chipmunk stuff that sings about love and eternal happiness through ecstasy and is 1000 beats per minute, no the stuff i listen to is very moody, think about a lethargic, repetitive groove, around 120-130 beats per minute, alot of chopped up vocals, ambient sounds, deep engulfing synths, and quick snappy synth stabs.

I have been mixing with computer software for about 2 years now and i just recently bought 2 sl 1200 technics so i am going to be learning on vinyl which i am very excited about. If anyone is interested in the style of music that I'm talking about check out these myspace pages of artists and record labels which i like.

The person who has changed my life because of his outlandish passion for the music, who takes the music seriously enough to realize it is all about having a wild silly dance is Sven VAth

please dear lord watch this video, it is what inspires me

http://www.myspace.com/kreonmusic
http://www.myspace.com/llemmosss

Here are some great labels

MINUS- headed by Richie Hawtin, this label has been the freaking pioneering sound http://www.myspace.com/min2max

Soma - http://www.myspace.com/somarecords

YA and I have made a couple of tracks from scratch on a beat mapping program, I sampled music from some songs, none of the samples are easily recognizable they are just percussive sounds and ambient sounds from obscure tracks. But check out the tracks i have made, the mixsets are currently down i cant find a site that can host the files while also providing a streaming player.

awwww man no body really digs what I'm into on this thread so far...

sal good, all of you are missing out!

[ohsoabused]

I'm currently attempting to learn the guitar for about the eighth time in my life, but I'm getting some chords down now.

Otherwise, I like listening to music, between myself and my significant other we have well over three hundred cd's in the house.

I like hip/hop, r&b, country, rock n roll, classical, techno, trance.

I used to play alot of video games and computer games, but I've since quit. They don't get you anywhere with women and don't pay the bills.

I love cooking, mmmm.... I'm currently developing my culinary skills in my own time.

I take an interest in physical fitness, I like to stay in shape. Always do at least ten push-ups per day, that's what something in my life taught me (not going to get into detail on that one)

Otherwise, I'm just an avid movie-goer/watcher, and book reader. I mainly get into the sci-fi/fantasy genre but I enjoy other genre's as well.

Oh yeah, I also like seduction. I think sometimes that what isn't showing is more of a turn on than what is, but you can't be mormon, that's just extreme.

[Creedence]

I'm the vocalist in a project that my friends call a band so I guess singing would be a hobby of mine.

[miss_kandy]

awwww man no body really digs what I'm into on this thread so far...

sal good, all of you are missing out!

no way! i love music...especially on vinyl. ok..i'm not as obsessed with trance/house/up-beat as much as you are..LOL!!! nothing wrong with that - it's kool to read about someones' obsession... but i do love electronica, down-beat, jazz fusion, experimental, dub-step...

kool links too! music is all about sharing the love! :respect:

[masonator]

Guitar, Sound engineering, Karate, Cricket are my hobbies

[darkstargemini]

> hobbies computers still learning starting to refinish some guitars try to build a double neck with the bodies always liked photography old horror classic movies sci fi movies most of the stuff out now r old remakes from the 30s,40s,etc they don,t make movies like they use to collect adult mags mostly 70,s 80,s stuff hard to find now live life the best way i can.:cool:

[trantom]

I ride a dyna :respect:

nice one
any pics of the dyna

im treating myself to a 2009 harley streetbob this year
:respect::respect:

[silent_orchestra]

I'm into cars, drawing (cars of course), music, hot wheels, old car parts, and old car magazines (anything from the very begining 'til now)

I've got 3 car projects I'm working on now...

1994 Chevy Pick up
1938 Pontiac 2 door sedan
1937 Chevy Pick up

they all are getting different engines, suspensions, paint, interiors, body mods, blah, blah, blah...

And then I have my baby a 1980 Cutlass Supreme that I got from a little old lady...It's white with red interior a V8 and it only has 65,000 miles, no rust...I love it to death.

I love music mainly country and rap...to conflicting genres but who cares? I guess the rap is the younger side of me. I really like older 80s and 90s rap though...there is alot of newer music I like too... The country side is just what I've grown up around...I like rock too, but nothing has really got me to excited lately.

I love to draw cars, my dream job would be car designer for some exotic super car company...I can draw for hours, I have so many ideas...If I couldn't get a job drawing concepts, I would love to design custom cars and trucks...that is a major part of my life, I've grown up in a repair shop all my life and am super interested in anything with an engine of some sort.

My house is full of little trinkets off old cars, old 30s and up hub caps, furniture made out of asorted cars parts, hood ornaments...and more...I'm currently turning the rear end of a '58 Chevy Impala into a couch...

I love to collect hot wheels too (goes along with the car deal) and old car magazines (Hot Rod, Rod & Custom, Street Rodder, Hop Up, Popular Mechanics, Truckin', Low Rider, etc)

Oh and I forgot about my John Deere tractor fetish....I love antique tractors they are just really cool to me...

Pretty much if it's some type of vehicle dealio it will intrest me (cars, trucks,planes,trains,vans,tractors,etc)

yeeee someone in here, ya vinyl is great, it is so addicting to dig through old vinyls, find these absolute gems. I browse discogs.com for hours and I go through the used old vinyls at this badass record warehouse in LA called amoeba, anybody heard of it? There is on in San Fran too. I have dropped a pretty penny on these gems, but man it is so worth it!

I hear you on the down-beat stuff, experimental and dub-step are fucking great. Dub-step absolutely destroys dance floors, takes me somewhere else completely. Like I am under the australian sky at sun-set dancing with the Aborigines, while they play those bad ass long wooden horns, (i hope someone is following this vision so I don't seem crazy, ahahhah). Ya I need to start a music thread where people who are down for the electronic dance music keep a communication line going.

I have two hobbies. One is expensive and frustrating, the other merely frustrating. The first is collecting antique clocks. They are expensive to purchase and to maintain and, being a retired teacher, I sometimes think I should have my head examined. I presently have 18, ranging from a small, late 19th century carriage clock to a freestanding English longcase, built in 1790 and using parts dating from the early 18th century. They all work and are set to the correct time. Twelve of them chime hourly, ten of these on the half hour as well, and three chime every fifteen minutes. I may eat hash helper the last five days of the month but I always know what time it is.

The merely frustrating hobby is playing computer scrabble against an artificial (but very formidable) intelligence. I do this for close to an hour daily. I have other hobbies and interests but these two are my two favorites.

[Fstorm]

I love photography. In particular b/w photography

[Naked Freedom]

i love reading novels, watching movies

[crossingoceans]

Yes I do:

PC gaming, overclocking, swimming, and listening to hard rock music :)

hell yeah lol

[Vanillas]

Ten or so years ago I began collecting US coins. What was at first both enjoyable and educational soon morphed into nothing less than an obsession, and a very expensive one at that. I found myself compulsively filling album after album making sure I acquired an Indian Head Penny or Mercury Dime, etc., etc., for each year and mint mark designated. And my mind was always on the NEXT coin or the NEXT album. I seldom enjoyed the coins I had. But the worst came when I decided to cut my losses and sell what I had purchased. I was shocked to find how inflated the purchase prices had been. And, how the very dealers who had gushed over the beauty and value of a given coin when Selling it would, when purchasing it back, find flaws, defects and excuses for offering less than half the original purchase price.

Two things I learned from this experience: 1) Numismatics is unlikely to be profitable in the short run and for the uninitiated; and 2) The majority of coin dealers have ethics and morals somewhere between those of a politician and a pedophile.

[Roughfire]

Thought I'd start this thread so that we could all get to know each other, see what we all have in common and find people that we can easily get along with and make friends :)

Well as for me, I love writing and reading! I'm currently writing a story of my own, which I hope to finish soon. I'm working on a movie as well, pretty hard work :( but definately worth it! Favorite book of mine has got to be The Heroin Diaries by Nikki Sixx*

Also love football- love it, play it and support Manchester United :D

I'm really into my music as well. I'm part of a band where I used to play bass but now I'm the drummer. Top 3 bands for me have to be...Linkin Park <3, Rise Against and M?tley Cr?e!

I still watch my cartoons too, I mean, who doesn't love Spongebob? (Legend :D). Big fan of anime as well!

So yeah, everyone can share what they like to get up to and stuff :)

(Sorry if this is a poor thread)

[deaflad78]

Ha ha if you support man utd. I'm very surprised that team got knocked out by Leeds utd. I'm very lucky to support Newcastle utd who still in the fa cup, hehe!

I love reading horror and thriller books and I like Stephen king cos of his works. Sometime I do socializing with my mates who's gay, bi, tv (one of mine recently gone on tv journey so congratulations to him) and straight whenever we are in the pubs and nightclubs.
I love exercising so I could swimming many times as I can but couldn't do it cos the cold weather. I need to lose lots of weights and it's part of my new year list.

Hobies...

I play video games (MMOs) mostly as well as table top RPGs (Like Dungeons&Dragons). I read/collect comic books. I live sci-fi/fantasy books and films. I plan my survival in the even of a zombie apocalypse when I'm not doing anything else...

Gawd could I be a bigger nerd?

Neat! You rarely hear about women enjoying comic books(I know that they are out there as I have a friend that owns a comic store here)!

Being as this post of yours is over 2 years old, do you still read comic books? If so, I have a couple of recommendations of large story arcs/events.

1. Blackest Night. If you are a fan at all of Green Lantern/the Green Lantern Corps this is one of the best "events" happening. This is a great one even if you aren't a fan of GL since the repercussions shoot off into almost every main title in the DC universe. Basically, Blackest Night involves the Black Lantern Corp and to get into that particular Corps? You have to be dead. Think of any BIG names(not necessarily superheroes) that have died in the DC universe and you will see them in all their undead glory!

2. Dark Reign. The Skrulls(hopefully you know who they are;)) failed in their Secret Invasion and Norman Osborne(the Green Goblin) shot the gun that killed the Skrull Queen. Due to this he was given almost complete control of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Avengers Tower. Dark Reign is the term for how the Marvel universe is under the bootheel of an insane man who has an immense amount of power given to hi.

3. The Siege. Dark Reign gives way to this, and this is an event that is seven years in the making. Cool!

Bionca, you mentioned that you enjoy zombies. I would highly recommend checking out The Walking Dead. You could pick them up in trade paperback format, as it is almost impossible to find all the back issues(and they would be uber-expensive).:cool:

Now, as far as hobbies that I enjoy:

1. Dungeons & Dragons(I've played D&D, AD&D, AD&D 2nd edition, 3rd ed, and 3.5. I have not played in a few years, so I have not played 4th edition)

2. Comics. I love to read comic books(and graphic novels) and I have a pretty good collection.

3. Tennis. I belong to the Tennis Club and I play during the Summer.

4. Reading. I love reading books. I particularly enjoy reading books of the Fantasy genre(Wheel of Time, the Dungeons & Dragons novels, The various Book of Swords by Fred Saberhagen, Harry Potter, Lord Of The Rings, and many more) and Horror genre(Stephen King and Dean Koontz are two of my favourites). I own hundreds of books.

5. Puzzles. I enjoy working on jigsaw puzzles, especially on a cold Winter day(or night).

6. Chess. I have not played in a few years, but I enjoy playing chess.

7. I enjoy playing boardgames and CCG(collectable card games such as Magic: The Gathering and Munchkin). I enjoy playing Talisman(sort of like D&D but as a boardgame), Munchkin, Settlers, and Carcassonne.

8. Computer games. I enjoy playing RPG, Adventure, Turn-Based Strategy, and Real-Time Strategy games the most. I have a large collection of games.

Did I beat you out via the Nerdness factor?;):lol:

(your local comic/gaming store owner will thank you:lol:)

I wonder if you have any back issues that I may need for my collection?;)

[smc]

Hey, shadows and rockabilly, is this what you mean by an "action" figure?

[robeasy56]

Ido a lot of fishing, and playing disc golf. and looking for ladyboys and shemales on the web. am a HUGE Hazel Tucker fan.

[GRH]

I'm not sure if movies or music would qualify as a "hobby," even though I have a huge collection of both. In some senses, I've made it a hobby to collect movies. I take pride in my DVD collection as I have many hundred (maybe a thousand for all I know).

Other things that I like to do...I'm an artist by training, so I enjoy painting and drawing, and fiber arts. I don't do any of the above with regularity, and as far as fiber arts goes, some of what I do is mindnumbingly redundant (like doing latch hooks or weaving plain weave fabrics or tapestry). I like the meditative aspect of doing arts.

If I'm really inspired, I sometimes write. I've got my share of poetry, which I've considered compiling into a volume for publication, but I'm a long way from that. I also want to write some fiction/autobiography as well.

I also love photography and videography. I used to dream of being a cinematographer, so I love pouring over the light and detail of a shot's composition. I especially love taking nature photos...

And in that respect, I love working in nature. Probably my single most favorite hobby is gardening. I get to use a bit of my art degree and couple it with a bit of my horticulture degree. Nothing quite like digging in the soil, planting a plant, and watching it bring forth fruit (either in the form of fruit/foliage you can eat or in the form of flowers that you can appreciate). Gosh, I love gardening!

[smc]

I'm not sure if movies or music would qualify as a "hobby," even though I have a huge collection of both.

Absolutely! I have thousands of LPs and CDs, too. What kind of music do you enjoy?

[GRH]

Music...Let's think...A lot of old-school, classic rock such as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Monkees, etc.

Then, I also like a LOT of alternative-90's stuff. Some favorite groups include The Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana, Marilyn Manson, Vast, etc.

And if you can't tell from the groups I previously listed, I like some of the traditional goth-rock and goth-traditional types of music-- stuff like Type O Negative, Black Tape for a Blue Girl, Dead Can Dance, etc.

Wow, our collections are very different. I came to rock rather late, and have lots of the classic late 1960s-early 1970s stuff, and some 1980s. But the bulk of my collection is bluegrass and old-timey, jazz vocalists (especially females), and classical. I have a particularly large collection of German lieder from the 1800s by Schubert, Schumann, Wolf, et al.

As my local Boston friends might say about the jazz vocalists and classical singers stuff: "That's sounds wicked gay, dude!" But I know what I like.

[GRH]

Well, you mention classical, and that's one area that I often forget of my musical collection. I don't consider myself "well-versed" in classical, but I have a decent collection nonetheless. Quite a bit of Mozart and Beethoven, as well as some of the composers you mentioned among others.

I can't forget, classical music laid the roots for EVERY form of modern music that we enjoy today. So with that in mind, I enjoy classical.

Your last point made me think of the scene in the film "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" (which is a really funny movie!) where Beethoven is let loose at the San Dimas Mall in California, finds himself in a store that sells electric organs, and begins improvising some crazy "modern" music through which some of his late piano sonatas come through, at least to the iniated ear.

Not sure I'd entirely agree with that. I doubt there's much classical influence on blues and jazz (or not, in the case of jazz, until after WW2) and it's probably difficult to say how much classical and european folk music influenced each other as they more or less come from the same source. Not that I've got anything against classical - I just don't listen to it very much.

Natalie, if we had some time together and I could get past drooling over how sexy you look (how's that for a nice cross-thread reference to your pics elsewhere?), I could play things for you that would show you precisely where classical music influenced jazz. For instance, the late Beethoven piano sonatas introduce new rhythmic structures that later show up in ragtime. W.C. Handy's blues from St. Louis have the structures of the minuets from Haydn's middle-period symphonies. Duke Ellington wrote big suites of jazz that follow classical forms in many respects.

American blues come primarily from Mali, in Africa, with little classical influence.

As for the European folk music and classical music, one need only listen to the Hungarian composer Bela Bartok to hear how they are intertwined. Or listen to Mahler's symphonies; he used l?ndler (folk dances) from Bohemia and Germany throughout his symphonies. These are but a few of dozens and dozens of examples.

What do you say? Is it a date?

How far have you ridden, Alice? It's really a lovely bike ride; a couple of summers ago, I rode part of the path near Albany, between Cohoes and ... I don't remember the other end. And another time, I rode up near Rochester.

Seriously, that is a kick-ass list for sure!:respect:

I also think that your hobbies are really nice. I have a little flower garden in my back yard. Last year a plant started shooting up that I hadn't even planted! My mom had visited and was thinking about taking it out, but I suggested keeping it around for a little while longer as it looked like it was going to flower. It turned out to be a good idea! The mystery plant was a butterfly bush and it is a very lovely plant. It grew to about 6'! A lovely looking flower on it that smelled nice as well. And when the butterflies start coming around(hence the name) it raises it's beauty even more!

With the nice Spring we've had so far, the bush is already starting to have leaves growning on it(you leave the stalks alone, and just cut the seed pods(formerly the flowers) off. If you don't, it won't flower again. It turns out the neighbours forgot to prune their butterfly bush down last year and that was the reason it started to grow in my garden. If they had pruned it like the previous years I would not have had the pleasure of having it grow in my garden.

Sounds divine! If I'm ever in the US or you're in the UK we'll have to give it a go (even if I count myself as more of a rock chick really) :)

Actually, not mentioning Ellington was a big oversight on my part - I was thinking more of the Jazz players who came after WW2 who had some classical training (like Miles) or had played in Army bands.

As for folk music, I was going to mention Bartok, but as you already said, I decided there were too many examples to go into specifics. A great number of Russian composers borrowed heavily from folk music as well, I believe. In the development of modern music, the European folk music that crossed the Atlantic with the early settlers of the US sowed the seeds of a lot of it, especially once it got mixed up with the blues...

I truly think we could have a wonderful time exploring all this stuff. It's really too bad that these kinds of connections across the globe via the Internet rarely turn into anything more. But I've made enough new friends on the forum in the UK that I may just have to make a special trip, and bring CDs for our "date", Natalie.

I've got a new hobby, started this past Summer. I enjoy going to the beach and looking for beach glass. I have three large milk bottles full of pieces of various colours, and another smaller jar full of "special" pieces, ones that are rare colours or unique shapes.

I went to the beach yesterday, and found many pieces of glass, including some large pieces that had not been totally smoothed out yet. Also, I found about 50-60 pieces of various ceramic or porcelain. I have been out to the beach at least 10 times so far, and this was the first time I've seen so many pieces of porcelain. They must have been in a container underneath the water for some time, and it must have somehow spilled out! I likened my haul to something that came from a "treasure chest".:)

Digging through the stones that I had gotten from the beach on Wednesday, I discovered something really neat! I had found a stone that had some really neat colouring on it, and that was the reason(at the time) that I placed it in my bucket. However, there was a clump of dirt around it that hid the true value of it.

Emptying out the bucket tonight, I discovered the stone was in fact a Native American arrowhead, somewhere between 500 and 5000 years old! It can truly be amazing what you can find when you least expect it. I'll try and get a picture taken of it soon and post it here.

Thanks. I'll try to get it posted sometime during the week.

I'm also looking forward to seeing the treasure you found on the beach.:cool:

[randolph]

Years ago I was beach combing South of Point Reyes near San Francisco. I was picking up sand dollars when I noticed one that looked different. I picked it up and realized it was a fossil! Here was a fossil sand dollar lying next to regular sand dollars on the beach, amazing! Apparently it had eroded out of the cliffs. It is in the Genus Scutella and is about two million years old. The modern sand dollar, actually a flat sea urchen, is related to this fossil. They are both unique in that they stand on edge to feed on plankton. Most sand dollars remain horizontal while feeding.

That's pretty cool, Randolph! It would definitely be something worth keeping!:cool: Thanks for sharing.:respect:

That would be a fun hobby to start, Jennifer.:)

I have a bunch of baseball cards from when my Uncle worked at O-Pee-Chee. If I ever find them I'll see if I have any cool ones.

If i'm not mistaken O-PEE -CHEE is the Topps company in Canada

You could very well be right. It may have just been the name my Uncle used. It has been a long time since I've last looked at them.

No.Never had a hobby in my entire life.

[StrangeLookinRabbit]

I don't really have a hobby, I just help other people with their hobbies, then I get bored and steal someone elses hobby.

[WTFagain]

Those sound like interesting hobbies. Unfortunately, I don't think I would be able to try out Airsoft here in Canada due to it's regulations towards firearms.

Airsoft, ghost hunting, paranormal investigation, ... firearms and weapons,...

:cool:That's cool, I'm into guns and ghosts too.

[tslust]

Since I don't get paid for it, can I include :drool:cock:drool: sucking as a hobby.;):kiss:

Sure you can. There's nothing like having a hobby that gives one (make that at least two at a time) pleasure. :respect:

I would like to provide one for your collection. :turnon::inlove:

[luvigne]

My main hobby is skateboarding :)

My other hobby is music - I play piano, guitar and drums
I write music and listen to music pretty much constantly :) Thinking about it, maybe music is my main hobby?

Hmm... I dunno... I think maybe they're equal hobbies... They certainly go hand-in-hand, I mean I can't skate if there's no music playing...

My other hobby is waffling on about my hobbies :lol:

[tslust]

I would like to provide one for your collection. :turnon::inlove:

;)I bet you would.:kiss:

I got some pictures taken of my bottles of beach glass today. Hopefully I'll be able to get them uploaded soon and then post them in this thread.:)

[bosbes]

A big hobby of mine is mountain climbing!

I always loved doing pull-ups and chin-ips so I thought why not put it to any use? :) Doing it almost every weekend now!

Yes only indoors, living in a very very flat landscape :(

[Clone23]

Love Gaming and Basketball!

I've watched a battle or two at the local comic shop(my friend owns the store). It looked interesting, but I couldn't afford to get the proper amount of figurines necessary for a proper army. I had bought a small box of Goblins that I was going to use for monsters in my Dungeons & Dragons campaign but I never got around to painting them so they just sat around collecting dust.

Have you tried any of the Warhammer strategy games for the PC? I own a couple of them and they look pretty good(I haven't had a chance to play them yet...too many good games not enough time unfortunately)! They also have a MMO version coming out soon(it may even be out now, but I'm not certain).

If you want to, you should post a copy of your story here when you're finished with it. I would read it.:respect:

There is a boardgame with a couple of similar rules to Warhammer. It is called Duel Of Ages. You should check it out! It's pretty cool.:)

[LibertyHarkness]

the RTS games on pc are epic.. they are called Dawn of War 1 /2 with expanisions really really great games..

there is some new warhammer 40k comesout in 2011.. a FPS called Spacemarines , and a MMORPG ...

[paulmal32]

Right now it's Guns, fighting and Call of Duty Black Ops. I could seriously probably spend 30-36 hours playing CoD.

If they decide not to take it, that will be their loss and our gain.:)

Have you tried any of the Starcraft games for PC? I know they aren't part of the Warhammer mythos, but there are some similarities with regards to units aren't there?:)

There is a thread for video games which is where most of the recent posts in this thread belong.

To be fair, playing video games is a hobby to some of us.;)

[katieayanami]

only other hobby is playing video games and watching anime. Although i do like to build models like anime models, lego models.

[doctorevil_fku]

playstation would probably count as a hobbie, I also like to sketch superheroes around places I've been to

[Pascal]

I LOVE :heart: music. Always did, always will. There's always music playing here. I don't like watching TV. If I watch then it's Discovery or National Geographic or something that has to do with music, but no sports or the news or soap bullshit. The only sports I like are extreme sports; tractor pulling, Top fuel dragsters, top fuel bikes. Lots of smoke and horsepower and noise that's what I like :D No soccer for this guy, hell no! (Although I hung my Brazilian flag in front of the window a few days before the match Holland - Brazil last summer. I don't give a rats ass about soccer. I did it just to piss all them Dutch soccermorons off. Because everybody was dressed in orange clothes and there were orange and Dutch flags everywhere and these fucking annoying horns. And I really hated that :turnoff: People warned me "You better don't do that, people gonna throw rocks through your window!" But I did it anyway :cool: LOL) Too bad Brazil lost.

Oh yes...and I really like BEER! :D

[joanspal]

Making objects out of clay is a relaxing hobby.

[Recrudescence]

I listen to a lot of music, love watching films(especially sci-fi and horror flicks) and reading( mostly history and sci-fi/fantasy novels) I also enjoy collecting sci-fi and horror figures and buy a lot of those online. I like working out with weights and jogging and when the weather is nice I enjoy hiking in the mountains.

Pretty well everyone here has the same 2 hobbies; namely computers and looking at, admiring, and talking about shemales.
Do any of you have any other hobbies? I like woodworking and fixing anything mechanical. I love building different things with wood, from small items through furniture and structures. I also love to work on vehicles, motorcycles, or anything else mechanical. I mostly do all this in summer because I don't have a workshop and it's too cold in winter to do any of this outside. When the temperature is -40 and the wind is blowing it's no fun to be out. Anyway I keep my tools in a shed because I don't have room in my house (I have a finished basement so there is no storage are inside). I have a lot of woodworking and mechanic's tools, but I believe in the concept that there is no such thing as too many tools.
So how about it what are your hobbies.

Collecting classical books,"Moby Dick","David Copperfield","Tale of Two Cities",etc.

[alexvela]

I guess this is one of my hobbies,, looking at beautiful shemales on the internet

[shyandy19]

[randolph]

I like writing shemale porn and getting rave reviews.:lol:
So far I haven't got any but I like it doing it anyway. :rolleyes:

[whazizname]

I dunno...; I think that my "hobbies" are the only things that I do have... :shrug:

I'm into creating 3D CGI still images: http://whazizname.deviantart.com/gallery/

I'm into creating difficult to categorize music: http://www.myspace.com/whaziznameampwhuddevacountz

I'm also into discovering difficult to categorize music: http://www.wmse.org

I'm into creating video (although only two are online, so far...): http://www.youtube.com/whazizname

Hmmm...; I guess that the closest thing to a "hobbie" for me is Facebook...: http://www.facebook.com/whazizname

{... either that, or pretending to enjoy myself during seemingly endless hours of idle chitchat from my friends & neighbors...; fortunately, I've learned to disappear quietly & quickly...}
