    Aggro inline is something I'm picking back up again. I'd like to be as good as I was again, so I'm going to approach it in a somewhat more structured way this time.

    Hanging out in coffeshops (Total hospitality nerd), solving the problems of the world.

    Music: Listening to, talking about, playing, writing, etc.

    A little bit of drawing, not as much as I should do, considering how much I enjoy it. But I'm being somewhat hampered by the fact that I'm rather terrible about it.

    Hacky Sack. Always have one on me.

    Social Bomb-disposal. Attempting to juggle the various social circles, do all that crisis-management, making people feel better while trying not to piss other people off by doing so... It's just normal social interraction to most people, but there again, I get a lot more out of it than most people. It's like a jigsaw-puzzle. But the stakes are higher.
    When the sunshine,
    throwing me a lifeline,
    finds its way into my room,
    All I need is you.

    Elbow, Ribcage.

    Loving the choir.

    Telling people what to do. Eating. Drinking. Sleeping. Things that normal people do to entertain themselves (going out, socialising et cetera). Music. Playing old games until my eyes bleed. Being nostalgic about bygone days. Moaning about the 'yoof of today'. Banging on about political correctness goine made. Being a hypocrit. Being a sexist cretin. Mocking old people.

    The list goes on, of course, but I cant be arsed to continue.

    So being lazy, too.
    Touch my twat.

    Not that he's a hobby, he's just so doable.

    Basketball, used to play for hours about a year ago, given a chance and a place to play, I'll do it all over again. Watching basketball.
    The guitar. Self-learning isn't easy, but it's better than having some creepy person breathing down your neck.
    EP. Whoring forums is fun.
    Reading.
    Art. Silent observer.
    Poetry.
    Music.
    Cleaning.
    Making stuff.

    Hmmm...'round here, it's meth. A person I knew from high school (who happened to own two DeLoreans, as I recall...an interesting person, to be sure) had a police SWAT team launch an attack on a tenent renting a old farmhouse on his family's property one night.

    Besides videogames, I don't have much.
    1. Reading. Fantasy, Sci-fi, history non-fiction, alt hists, manga...
    2. Webfora and webcomics. I don't think this counts, for the obvious computer reason that links it to videogames.
    3. Writing. I don't do this so much anymore. I just...I'm not sure why.
    4. Drawing. See above, except this has a very clear delimiting mark 2 years ago. Half of me wants to start anew, but the rest of me sayeth nay.
    5. Anime, Manga. I link these two, although the latter also fits in with 1. Scanlations are quite nice.
    6. Television and movies. Not very much anymore, but I've been rewatching a little bit of Star Trek Voyager whenever I drop by home, I'm wondering about trying to find DS9 eventually, and I have Tru Calling (an interesting show) which I've seen the first couple episodes of. Oh, and Firefly/Serenity, and probably Lost, at some point.

    What Jase said.


    Not.

    I've been making jewellry and bags and designing some t-shirts and stuff since I was 12. I used to make cards, since I draw these tribal Indian art forms called Madhubani and Kantha, sold them. But don't like the idea of commercializing what I do, so instead just make my own gifts, don't usually buy stuff.
    I will also make babies one day, but that's a different story.

    hhmmmm.......
    snowboarding I got into a little while ago.
    foruming.
    reading.
    watching movies
    and finding other websites to
    support my gaming needs.
    Finding rom sites can be very time consuming
    but you get the feeling of achievement in the end
    and you know what you'r going to do four eight hours a night.
    Oh and I guess learning how social structure
    and the way people act and how to get on
    top in the end is a hobby ive been doing since I was nine.
    It just requires you to observe your friend's behavoir
    and the way other people act in the world.

    I guess thats about it though.
    A lot of people think I'am crazy because apparently play too many
    video games. Do you know people who comment how much you play
    video games?

    Ain't nothing wrong with making babies. It's a natural thing. At least there was a qualifier there: One day, as opposed to just making babies straight up.

    I also like to make people gifts. But my aptitude for that sort of thing is limited, and I tend to make things that will take too long, so I never get them finished in time. The one exception is the Erika Is Wierd doll I made for a friend who hates Emily the Strange. Totally worth it.

    I also make hats, come to think of it. Trying to find some material that looks like old wallpaper so I can make a commando cap out of it.

    throwing me a lifeline,

    All I need is you.

    I just want to start by saying that I detest the word "hobby". It takes something you could be incredibly passionate about and makes it sound trivial and unimportant, so instead of hobbies I'm going to tell you about some of the things that make life worth living.

    Music and comic books are two of my favourite things in the entire world. I've been playing guitar for just over 3.5 years now and reading comics for around 10. I also like to draw occasionally; I'm not exactly a world class artist but I like to think I've improved over the last few years. To a lesser extent I used to enjoy badminton and I'm now also thinking of taking up golf. I've messed around on the driving range every now and again but never bothered with the actual game. I'd quite like to get into it so we'll see what happens.
