I figured why not start off by sharing what our hobbies are. Feel free to start a forum about your hobby to get inputs from others on it.
I enjoy chess and other strategy games. It is hard to find people who enjoy playing chess. I like the skill involved in the game. There is not luck, except maybe beginners luck, involved in chess. I also play and board game and know tons of card games.
I also enjoy scrapbooking. Looking back at picture is so much fun.
Then of course there is sports which are always fun!

Hello;

I’m still looking for hobbies – possible hobbies that my family is encouraging:

Yoga – (I’m terrible at it but getting better)
Equestrian – (not as terrible at it but difficult with my work schedule)
Personal Education – (working on my GED and AA or AS degree.

Swifting said 11 years ago:

Equestrian relates to riding horses. It encompasses all disciplines.

Paint by numbers! That could be fun! Craft store here I come!

I’m a very creative person so my hobbies include a lot of drawing, writing, painting, photography, scrap booking, and making crafts out of duct tape (such as men’s/women’s wallets, some jewelry, bookmarks, etc) Aside from the artsy stuff I love to play video games, play on the computer, watch tv/movies and some light reading. There may be more that I am forgetting at the moment but that’s a good stopping point. I try to keep myself busy, LOL, can you tell?!

Hi, My name is zelphia. I’m not sure if it counts as a hobby at this point since its so much of my identity and who I am but I sing professionally. I have a day job, but then my husband and I sing in a band on the weekends and that takes up a lot of my energy. I also write, I’m working on a fiction (Urban Fantasy) and I run a blog with my friend where we review books. Its a lot of fun, we get to interview our favorite authors, and we get books for free from the publishers. But it a LOT of work. I garden, i’ve turned my front yard from lots of not great grass, into 5 4 foot by 10 foot garden boxes and I’m growing stringbeans, corn, radishes, zucchini, squash, herbs, you name it. The neighbors watch the whole thing each year excitedly because I end up giving away tons of veggies but it beats growing crab grass and saves us money.

@daddysgirl well I personally have made cuff bracelets out of duct tape. However I have seen other duct tape craft people make earrings and necklaces as well.

My father was obsessed super heros. He had thousands upon thousands of action figures, so many that you could barely move around his apartment. Even though he was blind, you could give him any one of his action figures (that wasn’t in a display case; god forbid you even breathe on his display cases!), and he would immediately be able to tell you who it was, the character’s entire backstory, fun facts, alternate canons; anything. He would be furious if you so much as moved one of them even an centimeter from its original position, and he would definitely find out if you did. He spent most of his time polishing them to perfection and the only stories he ever told me as a kid were super hero stories. I only learned how to read because he would buy me super hero comics and have me read them to him–he knew the stories so well that he would be able to point out plausible reading errors on my part.

Since that was my entire childhood, I took after him big time. My place is filled to the brim with all of his figures plus more, on top of me obsessively collecting comic books. (I’m pretty sure I could be on Hoarders with all of this stuff, ha!) I know it’s a weird hobby that is perceived as pointless and childish, but I’m too ridiculously in love with it to care.

@daddysgirl Without people like us, Disney stuff and super heros probably wouldn’t exist! That’s really cool! I know I have some old Disney VHS tapes laying around somewhere, but that’s about it. Nothing reminds you of childhood better than Disney!
