I Need A Hobby

[ozguy]

Join a choir, it's very uplifting!

This is the choir I belong to, singing Handel's 'Messiah' at last year's Chrissy concert ...

I need a hobby too.. I am spending far too much time either on JUB or staring at the wall -- both are about the same actually.

I just don't know what to do. I love writing and I hate writing. I can't paint or draw. Cooking is something I do not like.

Just out of ideas. Hopefully your thread will be useful to me as well.

And please, please no sexual innuendos on how I can take up sex as a hobby...

I have a "hobby" you can play with.

(couldn't be helped T_T )

Knitting?

Don't laugh ... I've tried that and actually quite enjoyed it!

Are you certain you want a hobby or do you think you need an activity to get you out of the home and interacting with people?

I used to make patchwork quilts (no jibes please) but that takes up alot of time and you need to move the furniture to gain enough space to spread them out.

You can learn to draw even if you have no real talent and it can become something that fills your time pleasurably.

Or start educating yourself about something that interests you. For me it would be starting with a painter and finding out everything I could about their lives and works. Don't even need to move away from your computer for that one.

The problem with hobbies is that they can become addictive so you need something that can be put down and picked up again at odd moments. Plus the end product should be something that you can appreciate.

What about growing ORCHIDS???

You'd need to LEARN A LOT -- and then, of course, they DIE easily...

BUT...

A LOT OF PEOPLE become QUITE OBSESSIVE about it -- it COULD BE FUN!!!

AND -- if it WORKED -- it would be QUITE BEAUTIFUL as WELL!!!

I always wanted to stay up late to see the stars, so if I every have spare time in the future, I wanna take up amateur astronomy. I have some binoculars, but I really need a telescope. And maybe a thicker coat, a thermos flask, and mittens.

Buy yourself a puppy. Then train it to do all kinds of tricks. It is going to be difficult but noting is cuter than a puppy who knows tricks. Then take that puppy to the park and pick up guys.

Go drive around your area raven. Go places you have never been before.

I love to drive and if I had as much time off as you do I would just drive.

Jacking off is kinda one everyone does.

Surfing the web.

Listening to music

Watching movies..

Or eating out..at a resturaunt.

Stuff like that I guess.

I enjoy scrambling about the family tree.

Who knows what interesting characters you discover

 

[wraithsa]

or as i call it porn and jacking

I recently started looking into hobbies too. For Christmas, I got some instructional books about drawing, so you might want to look into that. I've also been working on puzzles. There are many types of puzzles out there that you might enjoy. I just did one of the movie poster to "Reservoir Dogs." You also might consider journaling.

I like some of the other advice given too. Exercise, weight training, porn, etc...all good ideas.
