View Full Version : Your hobbies/interests
Remus Lupin 03-16-2007, 07:01 PM I'm interested to know what hobbies and interests other Fuselagers have; sports? Politics? Entertainment? News? Computers? School? That kind of stuff.
I don't really have any hobbies myself. I use the computer a lot, but I don't have any hobby with it, like coding or something like that. It's just so weird, a lot of people have hobbies and I'm always a little scared when people talk about those and I realize that I seriously don't have a hobby.
I do have interests though... I don't know if I could say I'm interested in computers; I just enjoy using them. Languages? maybe. It would be cool to know Russian, but I'm too lazy to make it a hobby. I know people who have languages as hobbies though. TV is an interest to me, or more specifically, American TV, especially primetime and the ratings. I usually check out the ratings for all the shows that I know or care about and their progress is interesting. But that's not a very significant interest, really, just a mild one.
Another interest is politics. I like to get involved in that stuff, learn about the opinions and stuff of political parties and I also am interested in the people involved. I know a lot of the mps and I know the ministers and the party leaders. It's the parliament elections now, so I get to watch a lot of interviews and panels and those things and I really enjoy it. I like the people involved and it's interesting to see their answers to questions and all that. I like politics. Yeah, I'm 15, but that doesn't mean I can't be interested in politics! :biggrin:
I might have some other interests, but too tired to think of more right now. :drowsy:
But what are your hobbies and interests? If not obsessions? ;)
Siobhan 03-16-2007, 10:36 PM I don't really have "hobbies" per se, such as collecting things or like that. I have lots of interest. I spend quite a bit of my non-working, non-Fuselage time reading. I also draw and paint. I belong to a historical re-enactment group that focuses on the middle ages so a lot of what I do involves things like embroidery, illumination and making medieval clothing.
And Remus, I think it admirable that you take such an interest in politics at such a young age.

That is so great that you are into politics. I also have been into politics since I was a young age. I remember in 1984 (I would have been 6 years old crying because some other little girl broke my Reagan/Bush 84 pin). At 10 years old I became a democrat after watching the great Howard Metzembaum Senator from Ohio in the senatorial debates. In 2004 I became politically active for the first time working for the local DNC. Your interest gives me hope that the next generation will be concerned about our world as well.
Ok..my interests...I love to show horses. I am not really a big fan of riding just to ride. Everytime I ride I do so with the intention of training for shows (even though I quit showing for the time being). Still it's fun. I also just got into the hobby of aquarium keeping. I started out with one betta fish in a one gallon desktop tank into a 37 gallon and a 10 gallon. I also like to read for fun, as I don't get to often enough because I have a ton of reading for school.
ame en peine 04-04-2007, 01:32 PM Hobbies: Spending time with family and friends, writing - mostly poetry, guitar, painting, sketching, gardening, baking, cooking, playing around with computer graphics, museums, swimming, going to the coast, being anywhere near the ocean, hiking when it's warmer weather, whitewater rafting, Scorcese films /mystery/thrillers. I love animals.. Many birdhouses outside, and don't tell anyone but I put apples out for the deer.. :)
Interests: I'm pretty active in a women's club which raises money to donate to various organizations - made the website, designed a logo, and am selling shirts and stuff on cafepress. We do things like visit nursing homes, and focus on children and elderly in need. Charity is very important to me, I tend to donate money / time to organizations whose focus is breast cancer, spinal cord injury and world hunger eradication. I try to stay active locally - created the local chamber of commerce business directory. Politically I've donated time and/or money to the Democratic party in most major elections since I was 18... working the phone banks, stuffing envelopes. I hope to see a Democrat back in the White House soon..
Addictions: Lost and the fuselage - spend way too much time on both
