Any other hobbies?

Well I know that we're all into reptiles (or animals in general) but what do you do with the rest of your time? Anyone have other hobbies?

I like to read, and from time to time I knit things----I'm starting to make my first baby blanket (my sister is 5 mos pregnant--it may take me 4 mos to figure out this blanket!).

What about everyone else?

I camp, rock climb, ride horses and race cars. I am also a fairly big boxing fan

I like to camp (although haven't been since moving to FL--too many darn mosquitos!), fish, hang out w/friends & family, play on the 'puter, shop, watch movies, read, hike, boating, and go out to a club on occasion.....

well, i GUESS i play bass, but i barely ever practice, lol

i also like body piercings, and some tattoos, although i only have 2 piercings, although im working on getting a new pierceing

and....i would say i like the hang out with my friends, but i only have like, 3 or friends here, ima loser, lol


thats all i do


that and be on the computer, and get constantly yelled at for "spending all that damn time on that computer" blah blah blah

lol

good thread :)

I like to:
Camp
Fish
Rock climb
Snowboard
Read
Write
Draw (or at least attempt to)
Listen to music
Watch Movies
I also, sadly, can knit lol

I like to hike/field herp, I'm also always on here, And i'm always at the barn where we have our horses. So, i'm pretty much a loser :P

I like all the outdoorsy type things like fishing and hunting but my other passion is sound off competitions. I have my own car audio business and its great fun to build these outragously loud sound systems.

We do the JEEP thing,then theres work and then fishing,then theres playtimetogether;)
Our snakes come pretty much last item for a day.

well i'm a huge computer nerd. i am a web designer so i spend all day at work on the computer and online and then i come home and do freelance design work and nerd out on the internet some more. other hobbies include: freshwater aquarium keeping, glass bead making (lampworking), crossword puzzles, creating clutter everywhere i go, photography, making scrapbooks, and dreaming up ways to afford (both financially and spatially) more reptiles.

Besides reptiles, which I have gotten back into over the last year after about a 5 year break from them, I've got other things I waste money on as well.

My brother and I have been into racing a lot. Mostly imports like nissans and hondas, but we've got friends with domestics as well. He's got a 240sx with an SR20DET engine, which is the turbocharged motor that comes in Japanese 240's. I have a Civic Del Sol, full race suspension and lots of engine work. We go to the track a lot during the summer, but cars get put away for the winter. So in the wintertime I snowboard as much as I can. And on top of all that, throw in the normal hobbies of college student- going to parties, drinking excessively, and being rowdy. And maybe go to class here and there.

...And I'm about to start working at a pet store that is exclusively for herps. Very reputable place, they breed a lot of their own stock. They carry some mammals, but most end up as food. So I'm thinking reptiles will start to become a bigger part of my life.

College takes up most of my time during the school year.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE, playing guitar! :D
I'm currently planning to start playing the violin.
Once I find some free time! :shock:

i play the violin! why didn't i list that? i guess because i don't do it very often anymore unfortunately. it's an awesome hobby though. i miss it. you might have just inspired me to go home and pick it up again. :D

i like to hang out alot with people go to the movies talk on msn and be on BP.net.......i also like to shop (i know thats wierd for a guy) and play soccer, i LOVE soccer and animals of course

Camping

Herping
Snowmobiles ( only in the correct weather tho ;) )
All around techno geek!

Camping, until all my equipment disappeared :(
Whitewater rafting and canoeing when I can afford to
Walking in the mountains when i can get there :)

Geeky stuff like web design, programming, computer graphics, web surfing
Various crafty things like making things with clay, homemade paper, and jewelry

Jewelry design and silver smithing, reading, puzzles, piercings and tattoos, chatting online, driving my family insane. *evil grin* I also like working on cars, and outdoorsey stuff like camping and hiking.

Violins have to be one of my all time favorite stringed instruments.
The music they can make is just stunning.
Don't get me wrong, I love guitar like crazy too! :P

I love to hike in the woods behind our house, and just be away from the loudness of my job in the city. My boyfriend and I hike almost daily in the good weather, and even sometimes in winter, but we mostly snowmobile since that's sometimes the only way you can get around up here in wintertime!
I love art; I paint and draw, mostly in acrylics but also in watercolor and oil. My main subject matter would hafta be horses and landscapes, and I have designed several tattoos for a few friends of mine and myself. I also recently got into airbrushing, and it's cool; I collect these Breyer model horses, buy broken ones REAL cheap off ebay, and resculpt and airbrush them to sell for more later.
I love outdoor stuff. I do mountain biking, and we go horseback riding when money and time permit (which is definately NOT often enough. Other hobbies that I partake in are walking on the beach (yes, western NY does have some beaches, though most of them are pretty sad lookin'), hanging out with a few close friends we have, and generally relaxing and recuperating nightly frrom 9-hour days spent at work dealing with customers, which I hate.
I love... no, wait, I LOVE music. My favorite band is Type O Negative, and some other bands I like are Slayer and Depeche Mode (quite a contrast there, hehe.)
I could babble on about my interests for days, but I think this about covers it. :)

Ever been to Beaver Island?? I've gotten my share of sunburn there...but yes, I must agree, the beaches up there are rather sad.

ALL HAIL TYPE O NEGATIVE!
can ya tell where I came up with my name Gin?
TON is my all time fav too!

Ya know what? I just spent several thousand dollars on Breyer horses. Well ok, it wasnt my money, Im a buyer for a farm goods store... lol

Like Blink, school takes up most of my time, but when I *do* get time I like to:
*read. I do so voraciously. I go through books like most people go through soda.
*create/view/discuss art. Any art, from Picasso to Hirsch, I'm always up for it.
*role-play. Yeah, I'm a geeker girl, I've played Dungeons and Dragons for a good 5 years. ;)
*do independent research for school, mainly on animal behavior. I'd like to get a research grant in the next few years for one of several hypotheses I have worked up and did preliminary research on. -crosses fingers-
*listen to a lot of music. I'll listen to almost anything, but industrial/darkwave is my first love, and I spend a lot of time in either the Cincinnati or Columbus goth clubs.
*put on a pink marabou crown and pretend I'm a pretty pretty princess.

Herps are my career...so my hobbies now consist of strength training (a new favorite!), reading, cooking & long hair health (goal is to grow it to 48", currently at 36").

K

I read and fence (with swords, you tards - not pickets). Oh, yes and the military school thing but that's not exactly a hobby. More like a put-me-out-of-my-misery.

^ My mum's hair is almost 60", she's grown it like that since before I was born. It's pretty, but she gets a lot of headaches from the weight, and it's a pain to wash.

Driving .. i love to drive. Anything on four wheels (or more) that i can get behind the wheel of I usually dont pass up the chance. Forklift, car, truck, boat, snowmobile, wave runner/jet ski, golfcart ;) ( ok some of those dont have wheels .. but you get the idea ).

I stay away from driving, I tried to drive stick once and almost ripped the side mirror off a brand new Beetle because I ran into it. :shock:
I don't drive stick any more.

Well my sister couldn't get the car out of the drive way when she first started driving stick :) We almost got hit a few times because the nose was in the road, but hey I didn't mind being the crash dummy having to push the car back into the driveway :shock:

watch pron, tv, movies, play on computer, ski, drive things, other stuff I can't say, just about anything.

You shouldn't give up on the stick, Alice. Once you got it, you got it for life (like riding a bike). I prefer standard myself but they are a pain living where I live w/so much traffic. However, ALL Volkswagens MUST be standards (VW's are my favorite make and for some reason believe that they aren't right unless they have a stick!)...

No one can really learn to drive a manual tranny unless they drive it on a consistant basis. I drove an automatic from when I was 16, and last year I got a new car that was a manual. I had it down in less than a week. Once you are forced to learn it, you get it fast.

That's true, my first car was a standard....however, I learned well before I got my first car b/c my best friend had one and I just had to learn how (I've always been facinated by vehicles. Used to go golfing w/my parents just to drive the cart, would mow the lawn just to drive the tractor, etc. etc. etc.)

Must go faster, must go faster :sprint: :)
