Hobbies

thatdarngirl by thatdarngirlOG 2002 · Dec 20, 2005 · 492 views

What kind of hobbies does everyone entertain? What would you like to do?

At the moment, my main hobbie is still knitting. I need to learn some more advanced stitches so I can knit something fancier then a generic scarf. I also write, but I don't really share that with anyone.

What I'd like to do:
-Mosaic tiling
-Soap making
-Play the guitar (we have 3 in the house and no one knows how to play)
-Ballroom dancing
-Pottery (used to do this, would like to get back into it again)
-Surfing
-Painting
-Singing
-Screen printing (Done this too..my sister and I may start a business!)
-Develop B&W photos (Not getting my own darkroom anytime soon, unfortunately)

iwz #13.1 iwz

You doing Ruby on Rails stuff?

deanh77 #13.1.1 deanh77Founder

well I wrote that one app for where I work, and been maintaining it and writing some webservices on top of it for interoperability with something else(its all very hush-hush). It's been in limbo since they keep changing databases for it (mainly waiting for them to get database up and ready for integration testing). Maybe you'll see it soon, I'll tell you what it is when they release it.

And I've been dabbling a little bit on my own. its really really nice for DB-centric apps. And I'm trying to learn Ruby better, its a lovely language.

coreyfeldman #13.1.1.1 coreyfeldmanOG 2003

...sort of like french, the whole lovely language thing

heh. no. thats the first I heard of that.
Basically you're just running a softphone on a WIFI device. same deal as our WIFI-Phone.

But I did hear on some non-Corporate Vonage site(so its safe for me to say), that we were opening up our SIP credentials, so that you could use any softphone and even have it use the same info as your home device. that way your home number would ring your WIFI phone/softphone. that's interesting news. basically a free softphone.

wow, cool stuff.

deanh77 deanh77Founder

I can't talk about it. also, I'm quitting.

specialk #12 specialkOG 2003

I have hobbies, but none that I can do on the regular basis I'd like.

Painting.....like, on walls and stuff.
Cooking....that should be number one.
Singing....not professionally or anything, just for fun.
Being a mom....that REALLY should be number one....but anyways....
Catching up on my DVR'd shows

A funny one....cutting coupons every Sunday from the paper...seriously....and yeah, I'm sure like, 5 of you have scratched me off your 'friend' list now.

I used to rock climb a LOT....but life's too busy for me to do that now. I'm just thankful I'm down to one job now.....well, aside from the one that I don't get a paycheck for.

superhero #8 superheroOG 2004

i really want someone to follow my friends and i around with a video camera

i will pay for this. IKEA needs more chaos.

please edit it then set to music, this could save me a lot of time and money in new pc hardware, a new video camera, and editing skills.

superhero #8.1 superheroOG 2004

livy, if you still want to do this, we gotta pick a date.

originalsnob #8.2 originalsnobOG 2004

Stop offering to pay...I still wanna do this I have Saturdays and Sundays free (Fridays are my tms & service meeting)

superhero #8.2.1 superheroOG 2004

ok, we should totally do this on a saturday...

juicymango #7 juicymangoOG 2003

i used to read and write A LOT more.. i wanna get back into that

and doing photography for fun, like just going outside and finding stuff to take pictures of.. haven't done that kinda stuff for a while...

thatdarngirl #7.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

I'm trying to read again now that school is done for the month (thats ironic). School kind of ruins reading for me, it's like a punishment, and I rarely do it for the enjoyment I get from reading anymore. Started Mansfield Park today, though, so I'm excited.

As for pictures- I haven't done this in a while but Ben and I like to spend one full day searching out abandoned places and taking pictures of them. When he was driving a truck for work it was better because he was always out in the middle of no where and writing down places he saw.

juicymango #7.1.1 juicymangoOG 2003

those are both fun things. I love abandoned places and all that fun stuff. Lots of that down here in the pines!

thatdarngirl #7.1.1.1 thatdarngirlOG 2002

We may have to extend our search to south jersey. Hmmm

hmm i really like to colect comics. but not like the book. just reading the comics in the paper everyday and cutting out all the ones i like. i have a large box full. i should really date them cuz some are turning yellow.

i wished i still painted. that was so much fun.
and i wish the jersey shore actually had good spots to surf at. stinks.

thefunkyfresh #4.1 thefunkyfreshFounder

todd, base playing should be in the art section of your list, especially the way you play it, you are amazing at it.

ekulu #1.2 ekuluOG 2002

hey you sound like me!

originalsnob #1.2.1 originalsnobOG 2004

Awesome...move out here we can totally hang. NOBODY out here ever wants to be creative.

web-toedchloe #1.2.1.1 web-toedchloeOG 2001

I like being creative... In fact, I was thinking last night that maybe I'm in a little bit of a creativity rut right now. I was leafing through my old books of poetry and thought maybe I should finish some of the stories I started writing years ago. It's funny, when I was younger, I thought conflict made for the best writing, so now that I don't have any life struggles, I feel like I don't have anything decent to contribute. Huh.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

hah that's so funny, i was thinking the same exact thing recently, i don't have any of that teenage angst that i used to write all those great beginnings and middles of stories with no ends.. heh..

ekulu ekuluOG 2002

me too...i fid i don't have as much to write about these days.... i need some inspiration or somethin!

malibu #1.3 malibuOG 2001

i like to film random bits of everytime any of my friends and i are hanging out. i move them into musiv videos but im trying to think of a sweet sweet fluid movie concept to cut them all into. itd probably be called "idiots in motion" or somethign like that.

fivezero #1.3.1 fivezeroOG 2003

cut the film to the music, pick up the beat, drop it, note the changes . . . and cut the film like that

malibu #1.3.1.1 malibuOG 2001

buhwhat?

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

hahaha, nevermind
