    Default Your hobbies. Secret or otherwise.

    Just kinda curious as to what your hobbies are. I have a few.

    Crochet, I make loads of blankets.
    Knitting, I have a loom that makes it so so so easy.
    Interior decorating, kinda. I watch HGTV a lot and then I draw out my ideas or I put it on my Sims 2 game. (impatiently waiting for Sims 3)
    World Of War Craft.

    My favorite hobby of course ANNOYING THE SHIT OUT OF MY HUSBAND! LOL!

    What are yours?

    Not weird hobbies:

    • cooking
    • training my puppy
    • fitness
    • travel
    • web surfing

    Weird hobbies:

    • gather social and economic data to create mathematical formulas predicting spending behavior.
    • Listening to news radio shows, watching news programs, reading news online and in magazines (I'm a full on junkie, I start to go into withdrawals over long weekends and holidays)
    • writing editorial essays.

    I'm also a horse rider/trainer. Before I danced, the only other employment I have ever had is working on horse farms managing and training.

    Often times when I tell customers I have a horse and I train horses, they accuse me of lying. I've always wondered why it is so hard to believe.

    Are you in a urban area? Many city dwellers are unfamiliar with equestrian sports and since *they* know nothing about it, they project that on you.

    There is also the image that equestrian sports are for the upper classes, and strippers are usually considered middle class at best.

    If you are in a rural area there is the image of the horse trainer as a flannel wearing "farm woman" and a sexy exotic dancer doesn't jibe with that image.

    I do stand up comedy at a few bars and clubs. I've got to retire now that I'm pregnant, though. It takes a few drinks to have the courage to be on stage AND have people laugh at you

    My current hobby is learning Spanish. I know a lot already but I really want to become conversational. Every time I ride in my car alone I listen to Spanish talk radio. It's my own personal immersion program.
    There are a couple of online games I enjoy playing.
    Reading about world war two history.

    Not weird:
    - Teaching dance
    - Photography & modeling
    - Graphic & web design
    - Studying about investing & anything business related
    - Studying art from early civilizations & the classic era
    - Learning random languages
    - Cooking

    Weird:
    - My strange obsession for anything and everything (especially books & movies) related to human sexuality, women's studies, exotic dance, burlesque & pin-up. I use to hide a lot of it whenever people came over, but it's pretty much taken over my house and I figure if they don't know about me by now, well there's no time better than the present to learn!

    i collect math texts. not old ones or classic ones, but just general ones covering a range of maths up to the theoretical grad level stuff.

    related: computer books from before the internet boom (pre 1993). since a lot of that involves the math i like best, they end up complementing each other.

    my husband said this would make people think i was a serial killer, so you all are the first to know!

    This is so cool to me! I'm just learning math in my late 30's, and although I spend a lot of time crying over my homework, when I do finally understand a concept it is like winning the lottery or something. I get up and do happy dances around the house, yell at the top of my lungs etc. I feel like math is my Mt Everest, and every milestone is difficult to reach, but when I do reach it, it is f-ing amazing!

    I'm in pre-calculus this term. Been spending a lot of time throwing things against the wall, but had a break through last night. Yeah! I won't flunk out this term, either.

    It is until I have friends round and they spot:

    (a) Books on how to make cocktails
    (b) A cocktail shaker
    (c) Liqueurs

    I've had a house full of beautifically smiling drunks on more than one occasion.

    Hey Phil that doesn't sound bad either, hopefully they help cleanup and also bring you a nice bottle once in awhile!

    Beautifically smiling drunks is a great thing!!!

    I live next to a bar so I don't keep liquor in my house, then all the drunks wanna come to my house after the bar closes!

    Great hobby you have, though!

    Some of the liqueurs I'm given are great. For example I've got one called Vana Tallinn which I love.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vana_Tallinn

    I love the Wikipedia comment:

    "The sweetness and flavours disguise the high alcohol content making it potentially dangerous, especially in a cocktail called the "hammer and sickle" where it is mixed with Russian champagne. The drink is so named because according to local legend, it hits the drinker on the head and cuts off his legs."

    Phil.
