what hobbies to you have and what do you like to do to take your mind off work?




I spend a lot of time with my kids and am in college full time. I also take dance and acting lessons.
that sounds fun.
i need a new hobby or interest.
amongst the friends i have im "the stripper" and at first i was offended because i thought there was more to me but then i realized i just go to work and come home and sleep on my days off - i dont really do much else.
I go to school but right now its summer time.I was thinking of taking summer classes but I wanna enjoy my summer. BUT, I have a day job now, working for my aunts company in NY. I am a secretary. lol (By day a secretary, by night....)
Its fun and its decent money just for now...





HA! My life seems to revolve around this job in one way or another.



I dont see my job as work. Some nights when Im dragin ass then yes its a job but in general its a hobby for me in a way. Dancing is my job but Ive never looked at it that way which is cool cause when I come in I feel like Im not working. Other than that Im big on meditation and I take metaphysical classes when I have the time. I spend alot of time working on my car my car and racing (not typical of a chick but whatever) and I like to read alot.
You think you know... but you have no idea!
I Lifeguard during the days....and play/break up with guys the rest of the time. i should be happy cuz the pistons won, but i just ended my second longest relationship ever. i don't care any fucking more.
nOW He's trying to dupe me cuz i'm drunk and he's not saying that he never promised to pick me up from the bar - dumbass NEXTEL HAS SPEAKER PHONE and about 8 other ppl heard you say you'd come pick me up. GRRRR

Heehee, I hear ya.amongst the friends i have im "the stripper" and at first i was offended because i thought there was more to me but then i realized i just go to work and come home and sleep on my days off - i dont really do much else.
I take every 3rd week or so off, so in that time I try to do fun stuff like go to thebeach, hike, kayak or whatever...otherwise it's mainly reading, writing, computer-nerding, studying, renovating my apartment, sewing and hanging out with the bf.
Feature costumes for sale!
I like doing stuff alone where I don't have to really be social....like shopping (alone), movies (alone), the gym, etc. I hardly talk to anyone when I'm not at work. I also have a small zoo living in my house, so I play with my animals.
And god I love sleep....one of the best things about dancing is that I hardly ever set my alarm clock anymore. I spoil myself with a lot of sleep.
This question sounds a lot more offensive coming from customers, no?
I love to travel and spend time with friends. I spend way too much money at bookstores, love to read just about anything I can get my hands on. My BF is also pretty much my best friend, and we love doing just about everything together.
I know a lot of people in the music scene where I live, so I go to a lot of shows, but even then I like staying in more. Not really into the nightclub scene.
I spend a lot of time on SW too! LOL
I admit I miss being in school in part because now I'm "just" a stripper. I've realized lately just how much of my life this job is taking over, and it's made me a little sad.

gardening is my big thing this time of year !
I'm an artist:

LOL Nina, I think most customers who ask this give off that "so can you DO anything besides take your clothes off?" kinda vibe.
I spend a truckload of time working on my website, I'm adding a ton of new inventory and that is alot of work in itself. Then there's keeping up with the orders, shipping packages, getting drop shipments arranged, answering questions, etc. I am truly surprised how many orders I'm getting so quickly. Oh and doing the ebay store as well....
So I basically have two full time jobs now but they're both things I enjoy so I don't mind at all.
For hobbies I spend alot of time chatting and posting here or playing with my cat. Once in a GREAT while I might go to a movie or gasp! go out. I don't have much of a social life here still and this has been the most difficult city for me to get that started in yet.However I'm so busy I almost don't notice anymore. My flying lessons are on hold even!
Ack! I need a vacation!





Good catch!!!! lolThis question sounds a lot more offensive coming from customers, no?
Im a stay at home dad for twin 4 year olds.I didnt get to do that for the first three,so its really been wonderful.(ok and kinda crazy)
I collect Coca Cola stuff and antique metal lunchboxes.I have an ebay store for the new lunchboxes that all the girls carry as purses now but because the twins have started a new garden,I have kinda let it slide.
I guess the pink forum has kinda become a hobby of sorts as well.
I am a full-time mommy.
I love music, theatre, and crocheting. Anything that gets me outside for most of the day is a plus, too. Hence the very reason why I left the 9-5 world for good.![]()
Between dancing two nights a week and a full-time 9-5, I end up working about 60hrs/wk. After that, I don't have a ton for other things... time or energy. Usually in the evenings after day work, I cook dinner, smoke a little and relax on the couch. I take care of the cat and turtles and fish (though the fish are mostly by BF's job). We take care of some chores and then cuddle on the couch until bed.
Weekends I tend to get at least a little play time. I work Friday and Sat nights... after a 40+ hour work week, that tends to wear me out, but I tr to not stay in all day on Saturday. A little sun never killed anyone. So we go for a ride on his bike, or put the top down on the car and just drive... to a fish store or shops or sometimes no where at all. We also both have a lot of family in the area, so we tend to have something going on with them regularly -two this weekend!
OH - and sometimes I go out! I'll meet a girlfriend for drinks after work, usually. And every once in a blue moon I take a Sat night off to hit a lifestyles event.
I probably sound boring as hell... I think I just work too hard. But we also tend to not focus on going out all the time and do a great vacation or something. He took me to Vegas last week!

I'm impressed!! Your stuff is great! I love all the merch. Might have to buy that camisole...Originally Posted by Sirona link=board=27;threadid=10163;start=msg123111#msg12 3111 date=1087384886
By the way, I'm a student. I also have a part-time job at the Univeristy.
Because there ain't no tits on the radio




Wow.... it seems like almost all of our lives are consumed by dancing. I have lost so many "friends" acquaintances..... If I wasn't in school I would be anti-social altoghether...sad but true



I was a student, which took up most of my time, but now that I'm dont with that, stripping is my only real obligation. Other than that...I read quite a bit, visit with the family and friends when I can, cook, eat, spend time with the boyfriend and the dog. Taking trips in the RV has become a recent hobby too![]()

I'm a student for my degree in Biochemistry. I am also an intern at the state forensic crime lab.

I sleep and pray the economy will get better! I hope to find a job in my field that I went to school for!

Dallas here...I have been busy going to school for the past 9 years - AA with honors, BA Communications, BA - Psychology. I am applying into a local private university for their Master's of Counselling program which I can condense down into 1 1/2 years. I like to run in cemeteries, state parks or by lakes. I go to daily 12-step meetings, volunteer at the cemetery I run in, spend way to much time on the internet and love to go to movies and shop. I am totally a home body and enjoy cuddling with Rosco Pico Train (schnoodle) and Josette (Bichon'.) Since I became sober, I stick pretty close to home where I won't get into any trouble. It also keeps me from spending too much money! I am going to buy a bike today and trail ride. I have been thinking lately that I need to get out more!
I suggest to everyone to go to school. There is tons of money available for FA. I really enjoy learning and meeting new people.

I dance 3 days a week, work another 3 days for a tanning company where I help do promos for new locations, and I am a full-time college student ( taking 17 hours!!!). So honestly when I am not at either job or school I am pretty damn boring!!! Haha its funny too because many of my customers think I must live an exotic and exciting life full of vacations, adventures, and clubbing. In reality, I am usually sleeping, vegging out, or working out when not at one of my prior obligations. Exciting, exotic life my ass!!! LOL oh well.....





I did transcription work from home for several years while dancing, I had to maintain a "normal" job in order to keep my Mom happyI was glad I did though as I broke my ankle at one point ice skating and couldn't work for awhile and my transcription work kept me from dipping into my savings during that time
