Hobbies

[Deleted User 1]

I have a lot of free time in my hands but unfortunately I can't and don't do a thing about it, and I have no clue why I can't think of a thing though it might be because I feel dizzy whenever I work seriously on something.

I used to do a lot of things few years ago, from reading to writing, I know you are wondering what is between these two things... it's acting like the characters I read though I always fail doing the role of the characters I write because... I never finish writing the intro for my characters since I'm really bad at writing things, and it seems like I can't stop writing whenever a stupid idea pops on my mind, learning how to write had become a must in my condition.

I also enjoy playing videogames, that hobby started when I was young almost eight years when I used to see my mean big brother play on the forgotten relic 3DO, at that times he used to keep me as far as away from it just to make cry, while I used to break every disc of his just to do the same to him, though that thing didn't prevent me from playing with it whenever he goes out.

Another hobby of mine is watching every kind of movie and listening to every kind of music, although I tend to be very picky on what to watch or listen, and speaking about movies specially cinema movies; nowadays I have become a very bad cinema addict even when I know that it will bring me misfortune and make me broke in the near future ^_^.

I also like to shop, naturally because I like looking good and dress on fashion, well... we all do, right? But sadly can't do more often because they or my Mom says that I have more clothes in my closet than they have in the malls.

Hmmm... what else? Ah... I like to draw but I'm not good at it, and the only thing I know how to draw is faces or little cars, I am such a child ^ ^.

I also take babysitting as a hobby, I like talking to children and playing with them, but I really really hate mean and annoying children, I always like giving these kind of children a spanking from a time to another, children are adorable.

I guess these were my hobbies, I have more but they might sound crazy to others, one of them is dancing under the rain or calling people after foods ^,^.

Hobbies huh. okay lets see I'm normally extremely busy... but ironically i have a whole bunch of hobbies. The first and most obious hobby of mine is computer games, I like to spend around 6hours a day oncomputer games, and when I get a new game or start a new suikoden1 or suikoden 2 file... I play for around 20 hours excluding breaks.

Another hobby of mine is I like to download and watch anime series and Manga animation. The First anime series that I've seen was Guyver. After seeing that I got a load of them the next day, I got HunterXHunter Greed Island, Street Fighter 2V, FLCL (a.k.a Fooly Cooly) Bubblegum Crisis OVA (8 parts so i call it a series) and a couple of others. The manga animations that I got were Tekken the motion picture, Street Fighter 2 (different from street fighter 2V). A few of the others that i have seen are Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Chrono trigger (ova one episode), A load of Dragonball Z and Dragonball GT, Fatal Fury the motion picture...uhh that's all I can remember right now but I kow that I have seen much more than that.

In sports I usually play Badminton weekly, and sometimes tennis. I rarely play them and will only book a court to play in when I know nothings going down.

Another massive hobby of mine is conceptual art. I'm training to be a video games conceptual artist and so far I have only managed to design around 200 characters and creatures and some robots. I spend 1 whole day every month designing conceptual art and then scanning them onto the computer and then enhancing them in Photoshop 8 cs. What i'm planning to do next is make models of my designs in the computer using softwares such as Maya v6 or 3D Studio max, but right now I can't decide which is better.

The other hobbies I have, I really don't see neccessary in posting them here as they are of little importance to me but still I do it anyway.

I really don't have a lot of hobbies. Actually the only thing I do in my free time is go to bars and play video games. Pretty boring huh?

[Filipe]

Hmmmm hobbies, well personally I have a lot of hobbies that usually include video gaming as im sure you know considering I am sitting here posting messages on a site about yup you guessed it a series of video games. Well for one most of the games that I have beaten I have this hobby that I dont consider them beaten until I have done every side quest, gotten every item, maxed out every level and did everything I could possibly do. This entertains me for days and weeks at a time and though you might think I would then be sick of said games but on the contrary I merely start over and go through it all over again merely for the sake of doing so. Thats a hobby of mine. Not very interesting really but it keeps me entertained when I have the time to sit back and just do what I please. I mean come on I once maxed out the levels of every single character on Suikoden 2 that could be used in battles. No matter how unworthwhile they might have been.

Then of course there are the more subdued and less interesting ones like reading, internet use, and of course collecting hockey cards when I feel like spending a ton of money to go around and do so.

I like to draw cities and put them all together on 1 big map. I have so many they can probably stretch my owl court (not sure how long).

I also like to play video games like Suikoden and Metal gear Solid 2.

I love to watch the yankees and baseball.

Nad last i like to read, mostly the Lord of the Rings series and the Hobbit, and ive read em all

I also like to read. Fantasy is my main genre, but I'm not much of a Lord of the Rings fan (though The Hobbit is one of my favorite books; I don't care much for the trilogy).

I really enjoy writing, especially stories. I occasionally write fanfiction (Suikoden; big surprise, huh?), but I'm not too consistent with it. That, and I tend to lose interest in some of my longer fics, mostly because I feel they're not as good as they should be.

I'm a percussionist. I like to play percussion instruments, and I specialize in the marimba. One day soon, I hope to stat learning to play drum set, though the main issue with that is whether I'd be motivated enough to practice and improve. Unfortunately, that's a debatable subject...

I also like to listen to music, though I don't really study it as much as I probably should.

Did I mention I like to play video games yet? No? Well I do.

[Ayreon]

I listen to music whenever i can.I also play a lot of videogames and i spent some decent time on the net.I used to play a lot soccer,but know the weather isn't appropiate for that.

Hobbies... wow I havn't heard that word in ages >_>.... I've been soo busy I havn't been able to persue anything, including this board. *Yes I consider this board as a hobby sorta...* However, I also love to hang with my friends, go to local band concerts, since most of my friends are playing in them, or just watching movies. I've noticed I've been driving around town finding stupid things to do, I think it's because we go out almost every night and were running out of ideas of things to do.
Anyways, personally I Love music, the two bands you'll see my listening to are Champion *Hardcore band from Seattle* there simply amazing. And also Dir en Grey the Japanese rock band.
I also sometimes put computers together I guess is a hobby. I"m in sports once ina while, however I missed the date to join track this year.. Lately my hobby has been just sitting around doing nothing though :P

I have a bunch of hobbies. I play video games. I mainly play RPGs such as Suikoden and Final Fantasy. I've always liked to play video games. I also like to play multiplayer games with my friends. We usually play racing or fighting games together.

I also like to read. I read fantasy, history, or realistic fiction. All three types are fun. I don't like biographies though. I'm currently reading "The Fallen Fortress" by R.A. Salvatore and "1984" by George Orwell. Both are good books.

I also play my tuba. I have to practice a lot. Practicing is a requirement for being in my band class. I also study for school a lot. I am taking really hard classes this year.

And last, but certainly not least, I use the internet. I like to go to forums about video games and books.

[Jurhael]

Hobbies? I don't have many, but I've stuck to them for many years.

I watch TV. Quite a bit of it. I watch talk shows, competitive reality shows, some anime and some movies. I tend to watch a lot of movies/anime and DVD too. I just started on anime though. Yea, I'm just now doing it, but it's been a few months. I watch some form of TV every single day.

I eat. I love to eat. I eat seven thousand times a day!

I listen to music almost every day. In fact, I think it IS everyday. I can't imagine life without music.

I play video games. Sometimes it could many hours a day, but it could also be not at all for months at a time. I guess I have "gaming seasons". Heh.

I read, but like video games, it's on or off.

I write. Sometimes very often, but sometimes not at all. I'm just not as prolific as others, but I guess it's due to putting it off. Hopefully, I can learn to be more prolific and write more than I do now. That way, all the ideas won't plague me forever. HEE!

I spend a ton of time online and I do everything from read and write to communicating in some way. I'm online almost every single day and I tend to do that more than anything.

Heh, I don't think I've posted in here before.

Anyways, first of all I love Videogames, especially RPGs. I think in my life I have beaten about 30 RPGs, but my momory is bad. Very little else makes me happier than having a nice day in the fall where I can wake up early and play an RPG all day without anyone giving me a hard time. That's heaven right there.

Secondly, I love The Outdoors. I guess there's no other way to describe it, other than that I like animals and forests and environemnts and observing. This is the trip I am going on in May, mostly to see animals. I love all that stuff. The rainforest is my favorite environment, but a close second goes to the Coral Reef. What cool places those are to be.

I also like Music, both listening and playing. I am an obsessive fan of a great many bands and types of music, and I also play the guitar...not well, but I'm getting there. I've played it before, so some of it has been coming back to me. It's a dream of mine to be a rock star someday, and I am ambitious about it.

I like to go Fishing whenever I can. I've been up to Hudson Bay fishing, into Quebec, and in many of the great rivers of Southern Ontario. Someday it would be cool to go out fishing on the Bonefish Flats off of the Florida Keys, because you have to hunt them like lions.

Lastly I am a big fan of Books and Film. I try to buy DVDs often and see all of the new mobies, but since I came to school that has been hard (especially considering in October I had 50 DVDs stolen from me) and I have had limited funding. Aside from school I try to read frequently. This year before I had come to school, I had read 21 books, and got another 5 for Christmas. I love to read out in the sun in the summer, it's so relaxing.

[Goldy]

Hobbies......hhmm......let me see......
Playing Video Games - mainly RPG's and RTS games
Socialising - but who doesnt??
Cycling
Swimming
Playing Pool/Snooker
Soccer - I am a big Manchester United and Celtic fan!
Gaelic Football/Hurling - I am a fan of Armagh in the football and Kilkenny in the hurling.
I think that is about it.

[Noot]

It's better to have interests, interests are free! (George Carlin line, hehe).

When my life isn't completely overwhelmed with school and/or work, I'm usually just lounging around the house. I'm a very boring person when it comes right down to it. My main interest is football, of course. (American that is.) I'm a huge follower of the NFL, all year round. The NFL Draft is like a 2nd Christmas for me. :D Other than following football, I like to read, watch movies, play video games, and do some writing (I'm happy to see so many people here who like to write).

Video games is pretty much a given. I love the Suikoden series from I to IV (its getting some backlash but if the game wasn't part of such an amazing series it would be considered to be a very good game) and have been a final fantasy and metal gear fan for as long as I can remember.

Even before video games though I am a muscle car enthusiast. If its loud to the point of almost being totally obnoxious and extremely fast its my bread and butter so to speak. I love to work on them, currently rebuilding a '69 Chevy I totalled out and dragging them, hence the "totalled out" remark.

I also try to read at least a book every two months or so. My favorite book series of all time though would have to be the Card series about Ender and Bean, if you haven't read "Ender's Game", pick it up and give it a try. With the Tolkien and Lloyd Alexander series tied for a close second.

Finally comes music. I have a very diverse taste when it comes to music. On my playlist you'll find everything from The Who to Jay-z, from Tom Petty to George Jones, from NIN to Poison.
