I play guitar and write and record music.
I used to be into old cars, but not anymore.
Oh, if mastur------ counts, Ill claim that one, too!
Muay Thai kickboxing, scuba diving, history and writing.
I also play an extreme game of Risk. Ha.
I wish I could get into something like cars, old cars, but it's never caught my interest.
I do photography, and I try to use my free time to read, write, bike and hike, but I can do photography on the last two, so I guess it counts.
I play guitar, write & record my own music as well. I also draw my own little cartoon strip making some innocent fun of my job in health care ;D
I play percussion well(The good parts in nutcracker suites, 1812, other good pieces like that all played well)
Video Games!
Airsoft
Engineering
Building anything
TV
And console(Like ps2, xbox, etc.) Portableization(Google Multari to see)
I play guitar and drums. Drawing used to be a big hobby, but I just don't have much inspiration lately. I go to the Boxing gym year round to work out and spar, but I don't have the "chin" to actually fight. I go Snowboarding when there is snow, and in the summer months I'm into cars old and new. and lastly good ol'video games when there is nothing else ta do.(mostly guitar hero DDR and action games)
I don't really have hobbies as such.
I like to read and write, and spend most of my solitary time doing that. And then I like to meet up with nice people, eat, drink, see films and plays and chat. With the right people, there is nothing better to do than wonder around places. I also like going to the free museums and mooching around graveyards. I used to act, but I don't anymore.
They don't seem like hobbies though, because they are integrated with everything else.
Sewing and dressmaking. I want to go on and do design.
I love cooking. I hold a monthly dinner party where no dish can ever be repeated. I would love to get hold of Pat Cornwell's " Dishes to die for"but it's not available in Oz.
Shopping - a big problem - I love shopping, shoes jewllery, handbags, skirts, Oh damn everything

I'm wanting a new hobby, i aint getting bored with the ones i have i just want to try something new.... Any suggestions?
My Main hobbies are:
Clubbing - I try and attend all the big nights where i live
DIY - I love building things, will try everything once. I love welding, its so dangerous and cool lol
I also enjoy shooting (targets and vermine only)
But my main one, the one that once im doing it everything fades away, its just me and the dub's is................ DJ'in!!! I love it.
When im at the decks, vinyl's are spinning, im in a world of my own, nothing matters, nothing can hurt me its brilliant. Although im quite upset at the moment, i had my equipment stolen about 4 months ago from my house! there was about 2 grands worth. funny thing is they must of tried stealing my in excess of 1000 vinyls, they only got them to the top of stairs then decided to leave them lol. AND I CANT AFFORD ANYMORE!!!!
Also ya gotta try Airsoft - so much fun, running around like james bond lol, love it.

I've always liked the idea of designing crazy cloths; my early sketchbooks are filled with it. But sewing and so on? Attempted it. :icon_dizzy: Too hard. Much envy to you, and good luck with your designs.
Music, mostly guitar and keyboards. I write music from time to time. I dabble in poetry and short stories, but recently started a longer book.
The problems with the above is that the creative process, for me, is quite random. I'll go for a long time without doing much other than just turning things over in my head. And then suddenly, I'll have a burst of creativity. Depression can also harm my creative process.
I like hiking and biking, too.

Got any examples of the music and/or lyrics you write?
Dont be embrressed. i've created some right sh*te lol. If i had my laptop id upload some.
(Music is a passion of mine and always enjoy listening to songs i wouldnt normally come into contact with, try the song title game post, its fun!)
Most of my stuff is not 'net ready; it's on paper and my scanner hates me. I'm hoping to do some recording later this year, though.
lol ive tried using scanners many a times and only been successfull once, strangly enough it was in school when i tried scanning my nipple to set it as my teachers wallpaper. i got a weeks worth of detentions, was funny tho.
What genre are they in?
I like everything from buddy Holly to marilyn manson to Mick Tole to fatboy slim to the beatles, really random tastes!
I play as a hobby, but work the industry as a business.

I guess my stuff would be either alternative and new age.
new age
The scariest words in music, except for 'modern dance' I guess.
Thanks, Tekla. I'll just stick my guitar u-CENSORED-s now.
Can I link to my music?...Ive gotten in trouble for linking
tbh i dont know!
you have me worried now, i uploaded a song to my website and posted a link to the song title game post. hope i aint in trouble.
i sent a pm to susan to firstly apologise and to ask if this is allowed.
will let you know the answer (if you dont hear from me its because i have been removed and therefore your not allowed to!)
I think links to sites that have pictures, or vids or stuff like that is ok, I like to articles all the time, its linking to commercial sites that tends to be a more obscure deal.
had a reply from susan...
embedding youtube videos is ok.
personally i would avoid linking direct too your songs due to copyright.
cheers
My main hobby is keeping exotic animals.
I've got 2 teenagers; do they count as exotic? They certainly eat like animals.
I like playing golf, tennis, scuba diving, travelling, shopping, going to the beach etc. Acually planning on getting a personal pilots license.
My teenagers were another life form it seemed to me. As I did to them.
Hey! we teenagers aren't that bad! lol...well I guess I haven't been one for two years but close enough :P
I gotta agree with shades & tekla, teenagers are like animals.
i created so much hassle and trouble for my mum but i suppose thats part of the teenage thing
I wouldnt dream of doing some of the things i did when i ws a teen now.
im never going to have kids untill someone opens a business that i can send them too from the ages of 13 - 18!
My hobby is being a teenager.
Ergo; most of the time I don't bother.
Main hobby: Art.
Secondary hobby: Eating.

I never said teenagers are like animals. I said mine eat like animals. I'm more animalistic than either of my kids. They just eat so much more.
My hobby is hanging out on forums all day.
Other than that, I love writing and critiquing writing--prose, poetry, essays, whatever. Also, I love:
reading comics
drawing/writing comics
reading non-fiction
discussing philosophy, theology, and social issues
the internet
drinking beer
Sometimes all at once.
Yeah, I said mine were like another life form. And god, eat, two boys, with friends. Couldn't keep food in the house if I tried.
I like to engage in unproductive thinking and I like to over-analyze, big into procrastination and wasting valuable time... Other than that I am keen on the O.
well i like reading mostly i like zombie books like world war Z & the stupidest angel, & real life books like the great deluge (which i've been trying to read since last spring) and manga i'm a pretty big shoujo freak but also love the shoujo horror hybrids lke higurashi cuter then hell & (at least in towards the end of vol 1) scary as ->-bleeped-<-) and i've been tyring to write i've been conceptulizing a story for a couple of years even through i've got some good charater designs, also video games i mean i've been playing games since the atari 2600 got a workhorse of a ps2 and over christmas got an x-box but just have three games dynasty warriors 4 crimson skies & burnout 3 i mean it's really hard finding games that'll actually work i mean i've had to return at least 10 games in the last month because they did not work, oh and about the ps2 i love playing jrpg's like persona & disgeaa but the one i've been playing since last year is dynasty warriors 4XL just a good hack & slash i mostly use it for stress releif oh and HOT warlord On warlord action (yes i'm a unabashed yaoi fanboi)
I've not many hobbies, I like to play around on the internet and research a bunch of useless stuff for hours at a time ;D. I am fairly interested in the transhumanist sites, and consider myself a futurist of sorts, but even there I have not devoted much effort in producing any sites or even engaging in forums. I do find myself on Yahoo Answers from time to time, but it gets boring after a while. I love RPGs, I used to play numerous pen and paper games when younger (almost always having a female character :)) but have since migrated over to MMORPGs. EverQuest consumed quite a bit of my time but now I favor World of Warcraft.
I guess I am a geek, but outside of computer related stuffs I don't do much. As of late I have been doing a lot of dance revolution in an attempt to lose some weight and have actually been having fun with it. other than that I don't get much physical activity lol. I'm more of a dreamer than anything else. Hmm, I like to meditate every now and then, but even there I am not an enthusiast.

Trust me, girls can eat, too. Where my daughter puts it, I don't know, but she can empty a fridge pretty quick.
Hobbies?
1) Eating
2) Playing with my new iPhone
3) Playing with any other tech
4) Cooking

I have stretch marks on my arse to attest to this fact.
oh and one of the things i'm really interested in is urban architecture , ie dead malls because there just so interesting because where i live basically it's a treasure trove of abandoned places, i mean hell i found a map from the library of virginia that listed the dead cities & villages in virginia, and where my uncle lives in southwestern virginia there's just so many of them, here's two examples where my dad lived it' s in bedford county just east of smith mountain lake called moneta a dead village, and another one south east of rocky mount where my mom's from it's hafway between rocky mount and martinsville & it was a corprete town that is a town owned by a rug company when the rug company went under the town ceases to exist.
New Hobby: Trolling. Acquired today. Unwillingly.
Learning (foreign languages, people, philosophy), thinking, playing saxophone and piano, reading, writing, knitting. I am going to try to learn how to sew better, too. I want to make my own clothes.

Lucky you, there ought to be a lot more dead malls by this time next year. But I do like the old ghost towns in the mining areas in California and Nevada.
Writing, Playing and recording music in bands (I'm in 2 but Tragic Serenade is the more important one to me as pretty much everything is written by me whereas in Buodicca...I'm not allowed to write music ::)).
I also love reading ;D
I like photography, painting, racquetball, playing video games, and engaging in philosophical debate. (total nerd, right? *giggle* :P )
Yes, I play viola and piano. I'd play Schubert, Sonata "Arpeggione" only you would have to hear one part at a time because I can't accompany myself. lol
