    Default no hobbies?

    i realized when filling out my facebook page, that i had nothing to put under the hobbies, and activities area besides watching t.v and it really disturbed me.

    besides just taking care of basic needs for myself (grocery store, salon, post office) i don't have anything to do, that i truly enjoy doing just for fun.

    i am embarking on a mission to find something to do with my time, so yesterday i cooked. i liked it. next im trying knitting, and maybe joining a club at school.

    do you ladies have this issue? what do you do just for fun?

    I'm in the same boat! School keeps me pretty busy but I really don't have any hobbies. I've got an interest in fashion design but I can't draw or sew. I like tennis and used to play in high school but I don't have anybody to play with. I'm about to join a new gym and they have kickboxing classes so I think that will be my new hobby

    I knit all the time, and i read a lot. School also keeps me pretty busy. OP if you want some good knitting resources on the internet, I can send you some links. there is lot of cool stuff to be made, and it is very relaxing.

    I also have no time from my hobbies because of school. When I have time: I read a lot, I search used bookstores for old books I wanna read, I have crocheted and crossstitched, though I'm not good at it. I sew (used to a lot) and try to do my yoga.

    Collecting can be fun, if there's something you like. Crafts are fun, can be messy. I wish I could cook! TV totally sucks your will to live-it's good to get away from it sometimes.

    www.knittinghelp.com This one is really cool if you are just starting out, because it has videos of different knitting techniques with closeups of the ladys hands, which is helpful if you are a visual learner.
    www.knittersreview.com/forum If just what is sounds like, a knitting forum. The people on there are very nice, and if in the course of your knitting you get stuck on something, like a pattern, you can post on there and people who have already knitted the pattern will help you. Plus there are book reviews and yarn reviews.
    http://community.livejournal.com/knitting/ Has lots of links and whatnot.

    I would pretty much just recommend going to a local bookstore and buying a knitting book that has instructions and patterns for stuff you'd like to make. There are tons of good books out there.
    Also if you've never knitting before, you might not want to pick a scarf as your first project, even though a lot of people do. When you first start out, instant gratification is key! What I would do is go to walmart, or micheals, or hobby lobby or whatever you have near you and buy some "kitchen cotton". The ball band will say kitchen cotton, and the brand will be something like sugar and cream or peaches and cream. Look on the ball band to find the recomended size needles, and how many stiches per inch you are likely to get. To make a quick washcloth, figure out how wide you'd like it to be, cast on however many stiches will make it that wide, knit til it's a square, and then cast off. You'll learn to cast on and off, knit, and then have a nice little finished object to use.
    Feel free to pm me if you need help!

    I knit, cook, scrapbook, make cards, watch old movies, go to plays/musicals/performance art, fabric paint, journal, make jewelry, sew, bake (especially bread), window shop, go to bridal shows (really fun! My best friend and I love them), talk on the phone, write to my penpals, go on SW, go on my other forum I like..... Take bubble baths (the way I do it. it's totally a hobby). I don't work, so I have lots of time for them, even tho it sounds like a crazy lot.

    once we buy a house I want to start gardening too.

    if you want more info about any of my hobbies, just ask.

    Cooking is pretty much my hobby... Does making money count as a hobby?
    If you think school is hard, try being stupid.

    Can Stripperweb be considered a hobby? I dedicate time to it like a hobby and log on when I want to relax.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    I need a hobby really bad too.

    SW is totally my hobby. I'm pretty much on here every waking hour of my day. Pretty pathetic.

    I used to do puzzles, like jigsaw kind, but my apartment is too small now.

    I look up stuff about fake boobies, watch T.V. and sleep. Thats about it.

    Me too. A lot of times I just always leave it up on my computer. So I sit here at my desk ruining my posture and eating 1-1.5 half-gallons of Breyer's ice cream and a bottle of chocolate syrup a day. I have a forum addiction.

    I'm like that too, and consider my life to be pretty rich and full. When people ask my hobbies, I'm like "uuuuh..getting shit done? Seeing my friends?". You don't need to go to glassblowing class twice a week to be an interesting person, lol.

    ^ seriously

    technically, i guess i have hobbies. i sew (if i have something i want to make), i read (if there's something i want to know about).

    but i hate it when people ask me what i do for fun...whatever i feel like. even when it involves running errands or doing chores.

    the closest things i have to a real hobby, in the sense that it's not particularly useful...i drive around wasting time, gas and money, and i get lost in my head and zone out, which is a huge waste of time. and i guess playin on the internets. they're kinda variations on a theme, aren't they?

    You could always try golf!

    On second thought...forget that...golf is like heroin...half the time is makes you feel so good...the other half it makes you feel like crap...and once you start....you can't stop....

    i have no hobbies, either. i go to my day job, work at the club, run errands, and take baths/watch tv/sit on the computer all day. thats why my friend got me to start going riding with her, she said i need a hobby.

    unless shopping at target obsessively and texting people count as hobbies.

    eta: i lied. i recently started doing yoga and pilates so i guess thats a hobby.

    I used to have no interest in ANYTHING. I finally took an interest in sewing, but I really have to be in the mood to do that anymore. I just don't like to do anything.

    Nothing I enjoy doing qualifies as a hobby. I find myself to be pretty boring. Taking care of The Baby is my number one thing. Then it's the gym, tanning salon, nails...that kind of stuff, along with talking on the phone and lounging around the house.

    Whatever, I live so far from town, work and everything else that I spend so much time driving that I really don't have time for antyhing else.

    OMG, I seriously thought I was the only one! Besides work, play, and traveling.. I don't really do anything. Um, I like arts and crafts, but that sounds lame.
