I have a somewhat unusual hobby. I enjoy assembling Victorian scaled doll houses. I've been doing it since I was 12. I have two of my own I assembled, and I also assemble them for other people. I made decent money doing it, but now I just don't have the time like I used to.

Decorating the inside is always the best part.

Other than that I guess reading would be a secondary hobby for me.

Anyone have any hobbies you wanna share?

Well, I collect original Nancy Drew's (8 more and I have the whole collection, but I haven't really pursued this in awhile)

I used to scrapbook/craft etc but... I haven't done that since I left school....

I used to dance (ballet, jazz/hip-hop) but.... i don't do that anymore....
I guess I read, but I don't do a lot of that anymore.... I used to really be into music....
Having two pretty much full time jobs (one that i hate) has completely taken everything that I like to do

ok... i feel really pathetic now.... *slinks away into the corner...*

i, too, have almost all of the original Nancy Drews in hardback, along with close to 90% of Sweet Valley High. theyre hard to find.

-i read, a lot. to the point where my fiance took it up just so that he wouldnt be left out lol!
-i write short stories, and have been lusting after seeing my name on the front cover of a book at Barnes and Noble since i was 6 or 7.
-i recently took up yoga, after years of dubbing it "hippie-cize", i feel so bad now, because it is doing wonders for my achin back
-i tried baking for a while, i still like to do it on occasion.

wow. my life sucks! im one afghan and a Golden Girls marathon away from becoming Cat Lady!!

you watch your mouth about afghans!

i dont have any hobbies. any good hobbies are expensive. i was into photography until it ate all my money. i was into artsy fartsy stuff and that ate my money too. i'm not saying hobbies should be free, but seriously, stuff like fixing up dollhouses and yoga costs $$$.

i write, occasionally. but if any of you are writers, you know it can be a pain and get frustrating!

I don't have any hobbies, except shopping (not sure if that counts). Grad school is going to be my hobby in a few weeks.

Yeah, I know very few young people who have classic hobbies. People in their early to mid twenties hobbies are drinking, fucking, and gossiping. People in their mid to late twenties hobbies are their husbands/wives/SO, kids, work, and if you don't have any of those talking about getting them. I'm painting both groups with a broad brush. I do know a few people into poker, sports, writing/reading, dancing (as in Salsa or something, not booty shaking at the club), but they are kind of in the minority.

my sincerest apologies

...i have several and love them all, including the one made for me when i was a baby that i still have...

damn right hobbies should be free! the yoga i do is in a book and on several ebay'd dvds i bought. i can't afford those damn 45 dollar sessions!

one hobby i would do if i had an endless bank account would be gardening...i would love to do the really heavy duty stuff, like roses and things.

case in point - all of those are free/inexpensive. and i'm OK with that.

(well, i'm only doing 2/3 of those... 2 out of 3 aint bad right?)

I wouldn't say drinking is an inexpensive hobby. I paid $4.00 each for a smirnoff ice last weekend, and this was at a freaking DIVE bar.

No, 2 out of 3 isn't bad. I'm only doing 2 of 3 also, unless the second one includes...nevermind.

Grad school and work obviously takes up time, but I rarely talk about those.

sageofages · #10 07-23-2007, 12:01 PM

Ok...I wish I had more time...but my hobbies include...pretty much any handy craft

Counted Cross Stitch
Crocheting
Knitting
Sewing
Stained Glass
Beaded Jewelry
Cake Decorating
Silk Florals
Collecting Phi Mu associated items (lions, quatrefoils, pins, etc)

and collecting all the stuff you need to do the above

...she who dies with the most *hobby* crap wins!

uuh, we also like to bitch and moan about things, like bills!

I have a lot of crafty type hobbies that I do when possible, but my main hobby is genealogy and other historical pursuits. I actually have a paying client right now!
