a little different thread here.... Hobbies?

[bivision]

I just got a little curious, even though a good percentage of the threads are sexually based. I thought I would throw a curveball in here what kind of hobbies are you into out there. okay okay I know of couse there will always be some tounge in cheek answers <(no pun intended), but I was more wondering about the everyday (non-sexual ones) i.e.
mine are
Music,
Motorcycles,
Custom Vans,
Model Railroading/ Trains
photography

[eddy10]

I have had many, many hobbies over the years. But, the one that lingers is working on cars and pick up trucks.
I have been with that hobby for nearly sixty years. The only other hobby that has kept my interested longer is playing with my cock.

[VINdeWOLF]

Hey nice thread! People usually forget that aspect of themselves when posting to a place such as this. Too bad, because hobbies can be some of the most revealing and endearing things about a person. I'll make sure to get 'em into my profile. But for now, here's some of the things I enjoy:

Rock Music (classic & new)
Drawing (Pen&Ink & Pencil)
Painting (Airbrush & fuzzy stick)
I build wooden recumbent bikes
I bike like a mad-man through the city...
And the obligatory referrence to porn & sex... ;)

Cheers,
V!N

Thank you bivision for this thread. For equalling out the sexual/non-sexual threads.

My hobby is Sculpture! I love to sculpt anything out of anything. I love to make casts too. My last creation was a corner-shelf-holder in the shape of a dragon. Before that i made a halloween costume for my kid that was a frilled-lizard with a frill that went up and down.

My mother is getting me a sculpture class for christmas. I'm sooo excited!

[snipped]

Ah,hobbies. Those would be photography (old school 35mm, not digital techie stuff). I like to see what develops. And woodworking, I like to do things by hand. And most definitely model railroading, I like to keep on track and occasionally switch things. The hobbies are real, the reasons are just my way of dealing with things using humor. Hence my hotmail name, punicillin. We all need a dose of humor in our lives.

[wanderingrichard]

most of the normal guy stuff, i think;

Fly Fishing,
sometimes fishing in general
shooting sports; tap, skeet, target
rebuilding old computers, putting linux on them, and giving them to people who cant afford to buy one
reading, mostly sci fi
watching movies on dvd
streaming audio via online media players such as new age, jazz and classic rock thru windoze media...
helping my domestic partner/ roomie pick out fabric for her quiliting projects..what can i say, i have a fair eye for pattern and color

gee, just looked at this again and realized, i might be passive agressive!! :eek:

[BiLissa]

Thought I'd throw my :2cents: in...

I totally agree with you all... peoples hobbies tell alot about them and their personality. It's nice to read a post that's about something other than sex... although those are great too...

My hobbies....

I sew, sculpt with clay, read great books, crochet, ride my old bike around town, photography, I love to cook, especially for larger groups, I bake, I practically live on eBay, listen to all kinds of music and lots more stuff I can't think of right now.

Cheers

That's just the start of the list. I'm pretty much a loner (even though I'm married with a child) and I have lots of hobbies.

[jenny2006]

Glad I'm not the only one with some weird hobbies!

Motorbikes, definitely, I love them (can't actually ride one yet :rolleyes: but not through lack of wanting to (I am only nineteen so I've got plenty of time!)-going for my license this year). My aim in life is to do the Dakar Rally, two weeks from Lisbon, Portugal, to Dakar, Senegal and over eight and a half thousand miles :eek: It's crazy. :bigrin:

I play the piano (well enough to annoy everyone playing Christmas carols and the few pieces I can play all the way through!)

I knit... :rolleyes: sounds like something your granny should be doing, but I like it.

Love any sort of music so long as it sounds like music. I hate rap, hip-hop or anything like that though. I've got a pretty ecclectic taste in music otherwise.

I love reading.

I write fiction (mostly teenager type stuff).

I could probably count arguing with people online as a hobbie! Nothing like a good argument!

[wantus269]

My general list of hobbies is:
-Restoring old tractors(atleast 20years old or older)
-Paintball
-Hunting(all kinds)
-Fishing(saltwater, freshwater, salt & fresh water flyfishing, offshore fishing)
-Dog training(hunting, pointers, retrievers, etc.)
-Trail riding(on horses or 4wheelers)
-Offroading(4x4 trucks, etc.)
-Watersports(skiing, kneeboarding, wakeboarding, tubing, etc.)
And pretty much anything else to get me out of the house.

Its nice to hear about other peoples interests other than sexual ones. This was a good thread!

[Herbwoman39]

I've got a few kind of off the wall hobbies.

Aviculture (the study of birds both in their natural habitat and those living with us as companions)

[coyotedude]

Right now my kids are my biggest hobby - honestly! (We really don't need a TV in the house with those two around.)

Besides my kids:

* Music: listening, performing, composing (not as much performing and composing in the last few years, but I still mess around here and there as I get the opportunity)
* Reading: history, science, music, politics, sci-fi, fantasy (although with the advent of fatherhood, I've mostly kept to periodicals in recent years - hooray National Geographic!)
* News: I am a news junkie - round-the-clock Internet news was made for me
* Politics (although I haven't been so involved since the kids came)
* Cooking - unfortunately for my waistline (most of the TV I do watch anymore is on the Food Network)
* Camping and hiking (although I'm not a hard-core backpacker - need to get in better shape for that)
* Languages - although my Spanish is rusty, I've lost most of my Russian, and I know just enough Mandarin Chinese to get myself in real trouble
* Travel (as much as finances and kids allow)

Wow - I guess I do keep pretty busy - no wonder I'm so tired all the time.....

Peace
