Well, I enjoy reading from time to time, and I try to hang around with my best friend quiet often.

Watching anime, playing 2048 (on my iDevice), reading, and writing (primarily poetry).

All sorts of things! Video games, drawing, writing, running. I spend a lot of time with friends, once a week we try to play D&D or Only War, and some board games or nights drinking, sometimes both. Oh and I'm an executive for the anime club so I do that too, and the occasional cosplay. I'm still debating on a cosplay for the convention in May. I am flat our broke for the next couple weeks,.. but all I need is a blue blazer and a good wig and I could do Yui from K-ON. I wish I didn't sell my lolita dress last summer, at least I could've had had that.

As far as non computer related stuff, shooting, blacksmithing, and recently mechanics. Swimming and fishing are up there pretty high on my list of summer activities too.

I love hanging out at the skate park and watching dorky teenage boys be dorky teenage boys. And running around town listening to epic game music.

I like to go hiking and fishing and being outdoors.  Winter makes me cranky because I don't get enough vitamin D from the sun during those months...... or year depending how mother nature wants to be.  I also read A LOT and I love playing board games. ^_^

I took up taijutsu a couple of months ago. In addition to that, I like to cook/bake, I draw occasionally, mostly concept art. I sew, because buying cosplay stuff outright is expensive as hell. I collect weapons of the melee variety, play the guitar and piano, and reading.

Board games, fishing, shooting, football, tennis(I'm horrible at it, but it is fun), I'm sure there are others.


First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out-- Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me-- and there was no one left to speak for me.

Taijutsu, that sounds badass. Martial arts look like a lot of fun.

Haha people watching is a fun one. You catch some interesting things sometimes.

La guitarra, reading, writing, walking and exploring random places I have no place in being. Listening to music and watching Netflix now! (Netflix is my life even if it has a pretty small selection.)

Skateboarding, performing live music, dancing, photography, gaming night, reading, painting/drawing, smoking weed, talking with friends about creative projects, drinking, cooking volatile food, traveling and wrestling with my 2 nieces.

 

I would include 'film making' and 'animation' in there but it seems that you need a computer to edit them.

Netflix: You have fifteen seconds to decide if you are going to do anything else with your day.

 

You guys have some pretty varied hobbies, which is awesome.

I like getting a slightly better picture of who each one of you is by seeing a peek of the things you all enjoy to do in your free time.

As for me, I do the following with my free time:

 

Wood carving

Making walking/hiking sticks

Various other woodworking

Reading

Hiking

Pretending I am going to do some writing today

My Etsy shop started as a hobby, now it is a bread winner

Video games (when I should be writing)


It is perfectly acceptable to fear and admire a being you could not possibly understand.

S-sorry? S-something that doesn't involve computers...? What are you talking about? Computers are everything. There is no existence outside of computers. Life is meaningless without computers! What could you possibly do without computers?! The universe ends with the computer room walls! YOU CAN'T EXIST WITHOUT COMPUTERS!

I am interpretting this question as hobbies that involve computers in no way. Meaning video games, television, and any kind of word processing or spreadsheet work is out or activites that involve a phone or any kind of mechanical work involving putting computers together or circuits together.

 

Not a lot of my hobbies still apply when you completely remove computers to be honest. I suppose half of my bootlegging operation is non-computerized, but it still kind of involves computers so does that make the physical parts moot?

 

I've been working on concept art, but that is using printer paper which is designed for a computer. Not to mention the concept is meant to later be applied to 3D models which means they are vicariously computer involved.

 

The only thing I can think of that has no involvement with computers is conversations with my girlfriend. I suppose I talk to other people through non-computer methods, but I would very loosely define those conversations as fun.

That's right below wearing other people's skin, right?
