Very cool. I also used to fly RC planes, but I found it too nerve-racking. Put all that time and effort into building it, then worry about crashing it. No thanks. I prefer the 1/12th scale onroad RCs myself. Also computer anything, and cooking. Oh, and football and hockey.

[crazyboy]

shooting guns, fishing(salt, fresh, and fly), fishing rod building, aqauriums, making stuff with wood, and theres gota some others that im forgetting.

[Syst3m]

Hmm.. I think that I get into just about anything thats geeky, like electronics, RPG's, and what not.

I'm a musician with many instruments behind me, I like to speed skate and am going to try to go pro this year, I like to tinker with electronics at the board level. Computers are of course a major facination with me. I've been tweaking and programming since I was 6. I love animals and biology wich has been a major facination for me ever since I was a young boy. Other things I do include body building and trying to live healthy. I like to play quite a few sports, Baseball, hockey, and a few other not pro sports like swimming, skiing, and a few dozen other physical activites that aren't really major sports. Cooking is more of an art for me and I'm going to be picking up air brushing again.

but this doesn't begin to talk about half of the hobbies I like.

[mark129er]

TO skater, you should be more careful, being forced to resort to Dr. Pepper is tragic. Like the Scouts say "be prepared"

[if_i_were_u]

Hobbies eh? I could be here all day. Here's a few for starters,
I live building and rebuilding BMX's, and skateboards. I also of course love working with my herps. I am taking up air brushing and off road RC cars. I also love working with my hands. I am also a computer nerd and anothere hobbie of mine is to check out this site a few times a day (yeah i know, i have no life) Apart from that i pait D&D figures and build scenery for them. The list goes on and i could be here all day. But thats about it for now.

[mark129er]

I used to play hockey but was forced into early retirement due to injury. During the summer months I umpire softball but the "summer months" here is pretty much July. Then I do whatever seems fun like shooting guns at the range etc.

[brig]

Hmm, well, here goes;

My tomboy side - mountain biking (used to race a mountain bike tandem with my bf in national comps), car racing, classic cars, karate, snowboarding, rock climbing (mostly indoor walls), playstation games (only PS1 still!), used to be into RPGs but haven't had the right people around for a few years,


My girly side - cake decoration, glass engraving, pottery, quilling, a zillion other crafts (anything which doesn't involve actual drawing!), gardening, painting my nails (LOL), shopping (LOL),

and generally, of course, my snakeys!

Having said all that, I've been pretty sick for around 8 months, so it's mostly - staying in bed, and surfing the net, at the moment! Yeah!

[SDSnakes]

Paintball, halflife and other online games that are close to the same, fishing. I want to try hunting but i dont have enough time.

[doenoe]

hobbies? uhm..................i totally love capoeira. This is an brazilian fighting sport. Almost no contact and alot of acrobatics and jumping and flying around. My xbox, there are some pretty cewl games on that. Photography, im still learning everything, but i totally like it. Building stuff is pretty cewl, but i take my time for that (for instance, been working on an enclosure for almost a year now :D ) I also like drawing tribals.......................and thats about it.

[brig]

Donohoe:
i totally love capoeira.

Hey, Donohoe, I always wanted to have a go at capoeira - it's supposed to be REALLY hard work, isn't it? Very controlled movements? How long you been doing it? I've been doing Karate for 3 years, and I did gymnastics as kid - capoeira looks to be a combination of the two almost, or am I way off?

:D Brig.

[meow_mix450]

eat sleep skate:p i also lerning to take pictures, herps, and my computer lol

Meow

[Vanan]

Basically my three passions in life used to be animals, music and kayaking. But I've not been in a kayaking team for years now so that kinda doesn't count. Still is something I'd like to get back into once I buy my own steed!

Other misc hobbies are model aircrafts, and sports such as, soccer (!!!), tennis, badminton, squash, basketball, rugby, and a few others I'd like watch but can't play (golf, car & bike racing). Family's too involved in sports, kinda picked it up. :)

Aspects to music include listening (metal, old school rock, blues, jazz, funk, classical and the list goes on...). I play some (guitar, bass a lil, harmonium, keyboards, vocal chords).

[boa]

my other hobbies are collecting hockey cards for my son jordan,hot wheel cars,bike riding with my family.

[Sunrunner]

hmmmmm Hobbies Ehhhh,

Well I Skydive, love wrestling (WWE), body building (I also follow the pro body building sport pretty fanatically), playing role playing games (Old School Dungeons and Dragons), dancing, playing cards (Yu-Gi-Oh, Magic, Euchre) I used to fish alot but not to much anymore :( Miss doing that... ummmmm and swimming I love swimming :) I LOVE music of all types!!!
And last of all Cooking I can cook anything and it is damn good too i must say ;)
Thanks for taking the time,
Kim

[BoidKeeper]

I prefer the 1/12th scale onroad RCs myself
Before flying I raced 1/10 scale on road. RC10L3 was my last car. Before that I was into off road. I used to be a Losi man. Now I have a RC10GT just for back yard baning.

Trevor

[BrandonVeenstra]

Well, I'm big into Skateboarding, Snowboarding, Partying, being an all around dumb kid. Addicted to PS2 gamed called Everquest Online Adventures, play Helbreath and Team Fortress Classic on PC. Pretty varied life.. Techno Junkie Skater Geek lol P.S Rammstein Owns =D

[ohh_kristina]

I enjoy writing, photography, etc. I also spend a lot of time researching things (religion, philosophy, animal behaivor, and I read a bunch of care sheets for things that I don't even plan on getting, just interesting to know). I listen to music a lot (mostly deathrock/gothrock/70s punk rock, among other genres). Besides reptiles, I keep a pet rat, a silky terrier, and a fresh water african cichlid tank. Most of my time is devoted to college, research, and reptiles, though.

[Lisa]

A bit about computers (though after all day it wears on you). some phototgraphy and home improvement.

[doenoe]

Brihig,
I did it for 2 years, but then it moved to another city. To far away for me. We did 2 trainings of almost 2 hours a week. And yes, it is very hard work. Everything you do is controlled (well in a while it is :p) And it isnt something like karate. Capoeira is more free then karate, its more improvisation. And it isnt only the fighting, but also the music you make and the songs that you sing and the whole history of capoeira that you learn. Its just awesome to do and i would just go for it if i were you :D

[nolagurl]

I'm a bit of a net junkie. Live Journal is my biggest guilty pleasure!
I also enjoy being creative. I like to sew. I make purses and things for the house. Eventually I'll take a sewing class and learn how to make clothes really well. I also make fake hair pieces, mostly synthetic dreadlock hair falls.

I also have three outside cats. They are feral cats that we started feeding and now they're ours.

I volunteer at the zoo twice a week.

[meow_mix450]

Im planning on wolunteer for my zoo near me lol:p for community serivce hours yay!

Meow

[RachelS.]

umm hmmm... other than herps I like punk, metal, rock, rap music... computers... peircings, tattoos...skateboarding, my guy friends all the way they kick arse... punk stuff (clothing, jewlery, belts, etc)...digital photography...Mtn Dew CodeRed and Dr. Pepper... outdoors... movies... partying... making fun of my teachers and being a total distraction in my classes to make people laugh (I noticed my teachers were saying how quiet it was when I wasn't at school the other day) So yeah I guess that could possibly be a hobby lol...

I probably have more, but that's all I can think of for now :D

[LadyHawke]

my hobbies include reading, writing, drawing...even tho i havent done it in a while, i do enjoy it. i love the outdoors, camping, hiking and driving around just to see the sights. winter is my favorite season as i am a snocross racer in the CSRA. i love the snow....and during the summer i dream about snow...lol. i like many types of music, but Ozzy is the ultimate. i love old houses, they have lots of character. i love being with my son, who is my entire world to me, without him i would be lost. i love good horror movies. i am also addicted to my computer. i collect figurines of horses and have ever since i can remember...finally added a real one!!

I used to DM/GM. Vampire: The Masquerade, Rifts, AD&D 2nd Edition, Warhammer, and Battletech were among some of my favourites to play.

[Slannesh]

Used to be heavily into RPG's but it's such a pain to get everyone together at the same time anymore.. Damn you real life! Damn you!

But I do run a large Neverwinter Nights Persistant world right now. So I suppose that's a hobby as well.

[Sunrunner]

Daver676 i play all the time ad&D :) LOVE it :)

[brig]

Aw, this brings back memories... :D Long winter evenings, gang of friends in a small (and by then smelly) bedroom, playing RGGs...

We used to play AD&D a bit, but mostly it was Call of Cthulhu - based on HP Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos!

Actually he's my alltime favourite author as well, if anyone is into early horror (Edgar Allen Poe, Dunsany, etc) then I strongly recommend Lovecraft - you'll love it!!!

;)
