I felt sure there was a topic for this already, but I couldn't find it.. SO, here it is..
What are some of your favorite pastimes?
I like to sleep.. Always been one of my faves.. ;) But I also LOVE watching movies and going to the cinema..
-
Love going to the cinema, apart from when you get idiots sat in your vicinity, thats why i get there early and rock back and forth picking my nose singing the teletubbies theme, nobody comes near you then, oh and the price of stuff there is extortionate!
I am a big online gamer, PS3, if anyone wants owning on Call of Duty, look me up :P
-
I'm surprised you're not one of those people that talk throughout the whole movie.. :P
-
Nah im the one throttling them until there eyes pop out and there face goes blue.
-
You know, in all seriousness... I'll bet it would be very difficult (if not impossible) to make someone's eyes pop out of their head..
-
Kimbo Slice did it in a bare knuckle fight :ph34r: :8o
-
Is that a movie? :-\ You can't believe everything you see in movies.. :P
-
Nope twas all over YouTube before being banned
-
Hehe.. Like everything on YouTube is genuine..
-
No seriously, it was real lol. Have you everheard of Kimbo Slice...
-
Nope..
So did this person whose eyes were popped out... did they die? Or just lose eyesight?
-
Lost eyesight, twas rather gross to be honest
-
Why did this Kimbo Slice do it? :-\
-
Bare knuckle fighter
-
Playing piano, singing, going to the cinema, going out with friends, photoshop, roleplaying.
I'm still the same old me :]
-
There's nothing wrong with that.. :) Sometimes (not always) change is a bad thing..
-
Sewing, writing, F1, reading, music, travel and going to gigs.
-
Apart from the obvious ;D some things NEVER change! :P I now have a passion for African djembe drumming.... love it :D
-
So if the internet breaks down you can still keep in touch? Neat. How did you get into it?
-
Funnily enough I went to a presentation evening a few years ago and in the break there were these drummers. They gave out leaflets to say it was free and a drum was supplied.... so I took myself along and got into it basically.
Now, they drum at my school with the kids and I also belong to Kotu Drummers, which can be found on facebook if you want to take a look :D
So thats how it happened, and Im glad it did too!!
-
I love how sometimes random choices can lead to life enhancing things. I've recently joined a choir, having always thought I had a good voice but never having gotten around to doing anything about it. I rapidly discovered there is way more to it than that and that I know none of the things I should so I'm on a very steep learning curve but it's great fun.
-
Thats excellent Anne, but I know what you mean, I really would like to learn an instrument properly, so now I have a bit more time on my hands its just a case of choosing which really. Would love to play clarinet but the instruments are so expensive!
-
I like writing, mostly little bits of nonsense and I put some of it on a blog. Then I thought that blogs always seem a bit self-important, so I haven't been to it for yonks. I don't think it matters, though, as nobody could have found or read it anyway.
Other than that, I do like knitting but these days it is quite an expensive hobby. I also like fitness and workouts and I wish I'd found that out earlier. I might have been Jane Fonda.
I have in the past tried to be musical, but I just don't have the genes. I tried to learn the piano by teaching myself from a book, and that didn't work very well. I have very stubby hobbity hands and spatulate digits, so instrument playing is very hard for me with my lack of dexterity.
I like walking around and thinking about things :) Does that count as a pastime?
I also play an MMORPG called City of Heroes. Have done for a few years now. :)
-
I know Im gonna regret this but... whats an MMORPG?
-
I know Im gonna regret this but... whats an MMORPG?
Massively multiplayer online role playing game :) Like Warcraft and stuff :P :)
-
Baths, sleep (oh how I miss it), cinema or films at home, concerts, xbox, cooking when I have time, reading, drawing, swimming, a walk once in a while ;)
-
I'd love to learn how to play an instrument.. I took piano lessons once upon a time, but it didn't stick.. I thought I was gonna do voice lessons instead, that didn't pan out though.. :-\ I love to sing and I used to sing at church (it was a very small church), but I stopped when I started having anxiety issues.. I'd love to take lessons; but I can't read music anymore, so it'd be starting from scratch.. :8o
