Do you have any hobbies besides gaming? If you do, perhaps you would like to discuss them here. Why don't you tell us about them or talk about hobbies you might consider starting.

As for me, I like to do some beading whenever I might be bored. I like making jewelry, I make some for myself and a lot of it I get my Dad to sell at the markets whenever he goes. I make a small profit on it which is always nice. It's quite fun and very easy to do, anybody could do it.

Another hobby I have is Scrap booking. My Mum and Sister in law got me into it over a year ago now. I have a whole album filled with pages I have done. It's great fun to do and it can be easy but can become a little difficult. It's depending on what you do really. I enjoy doing it very much, it's good to do whenever you have the time.

What about you? =]

I like a lot of things. I enjoy interacting with others on forums and over IM clients almost as much as I like interacting with people in real life. An awful lot. I seem to have friends all over the place and because of this I have a vast array of hobbies and interests, many introduced to me through these people.

My favourite hobbies however are console emulation (but I only emulate that which I own), brawling (I live in a place where few people I really know don't love brawling), drinking, performing stunts to get a rush (so long as they have no chance of harming someone other than myself) and gaming, either computer gaming or street sports such as street footy which is the illegitimate son of NRL. Basically only tries, no field goals or anything and no illegal tackles. It's awful fun. Wink

I also collect rpgs and can pay excessive amounts for items I see as rarities. And I have a cheese collection, but it is constantly declining and growing due to the need for me to eat them at their peak. I have pretty much the same relationship with alcohol in any form.

I enjoy birding, though I'm not as active as I used to be with it. Basically, birding is the term for bird watching, gardening, and conservation. Been doing it for as long as I can remember, and probably always will. I can name just about any bird in my region without the use of a guide. We haven't done much of the gardening, but we do maintain several feeders and I keep track of the resident population. This is a busy time of the year for birds, as many will be getting ready to migrate, and the cooler weather means they need more food to keep their energy up.

If I can get my hands on a good digital camera I'll try my hand at bird photography as well.

And, I suppose you could call it a hobby, though I'm hoping to go professional, but I do a lot of writing. Currently working on the first draft of a novel that may (fingers crossed here) be published eventually. I might do some short stories again but I do prefer longer stories.

The only other things I do that can be really considered hobbies are gaming and collecting/watching anime, though the later I haven't done in quite some time.

I think my biggest hobby is gaming. Other than that I guess my second biggest hobby is bowling. I have been an avid bowler for about 2.5 years now. I also bowl on 2 bowling leagues: Monday nights and Saturday nights. As of this post my average on the Monday night league is 213. The Saturday night average is 219. Bowling is good.

I also collect coins. I have old coins, foriegn coins, and old foriegn coins. I keep them double bagged in 2 plastic sacks. The total wieght of my collection is about 60 pounds (about 27.2 kilos). I'm hoping to sell the collection someday. I'm hoping to get at least $3,000U.S.

My next biggest hobby is gambling, although I think this is more of an addiction than a hobby. I love a good slot machine.

Lastly, I have a bit of a green thumb. I like growing plants and trees. I like to grow tomatoes, potatoes, okra, squash, zucchini, pecans, and plums. Sometimes an occasional illegal plant sprouts up. *wink wink*
