Poll: Hobbies

Since I moved back to the states in December, I've been trying to find more activities outside of work, school, and exercise to interest me.  I took up painting again and I've been reading more often, but I'd like to hear what all of you do to relax or use your creativity.

1. What are your hobbies?
2. How much time do you devote to your activities?
3. What is something you've always wanted to do (learn a language, skydive, etc.) that you haven't allowed yourself the opportunity for yet?

Re: Poll: Hobbies

  • 1. My current hobbies include traveling, scrapbooking, crafts, anything DIY, shopping for deals, and research. I will research ANYTHING!

    2. I feel satisfied with the amount of time I dedicate to those things...I really dont have a set time for them though.

    3. Well, for 2008 my goals are to Blog (check: needs to become more regular though), keep a journal (check), loose weight (check), learn Italian (in progress), and to read more (working on it.

    Future goals include: yoga, pilates, anything mind, body. spirit oriented.

  • 1. What are your hobbies? Cooking, working out, reading, snowboarding, group games, nesting
    2. How much time do you devote to your activities? The cooking and working out are woven into the schedule since they are high on the priorities. Snowboarding is a few times a season. Group games are just pick-up games; ultimate frisbee starts up once a week after daylight savings. Reading depends on how much time I have.
    3. What is something you've always wanted to do (learn a language, skydive, etc.) that you haven't allowed yourself the opportunity for yet? There's a few things I would like to try but there isn't really something I want to pick up and do consistently. Guess I'm just working on my "to do" list.

  • 1. What are your hobbies? Going to concerts, digital scrapbooking, movies, playing with my dogs.
    2. How much time do you devote to your activities? As much time as I can.
    3. What is something you've always wanted to do (learn a language, skydive, etc.) that you haven't allowed yourself the opportunity for yet? Learn to play piano. I read music and am classically trained but not on the piano. I want to learn to play and write songs and perform them for a private audience (read: me). :)

  • My feet smell really bad today... sorry! I got distracted... on to the answers:

    1. What are your hobbies? scrapbooking, reading, knitting, exercising, nesting, cooking, blogging
    2. How much time do you devote to your activities? scrapbooking once every few months, reading every day, knitting every few months, exercising every week, nesting every day, cooking every day, blogging every other day
    3. What is something you've always wanted to do (learn a language, skydive, etc.) that you haven't allowed yourself the opportunity for yet? I would like to learn another language but don't think I have the patience for it. I also think that I'd need to live in a country that speaks the language in order to fully absorb it.

  • 1. What are your hobbies?
    I go to Live musicals, have been in local musicals, sell jewelry on nights and weekends and lots of vegging around the house.

    2. How much time do you devote to your activities?
    depends on my mood.

    3. What is something you've always wanted to do (learn a language, skydive, etc.) that you haven't allowed yourself the opportunity for yet?
    start my own business and work for myself.  To chicken to ever persue it.
  • 1. What are your hobbies?
    Reading, fashion, scrapbooking, biking, snowboarding

    2. How much time do you devote to your activities?
    Reading: Probably averages out to 30 min. a day.
    Fashion: Depends.  I read about it and talk to my friends who have similar interests a lot.  Actually shopping varies.
    Scrapbooking: Maybe 1-2 times a month.  I do this with a friend, so we have work around our schedules.
    Biking: 2-3 times a week if the weather is nice
    Snowboarding: Varies.  Last year, I went quite a bit, but this year I've only gone once.


    3. What is something you've always wanted to do (learn a language, skydive, etc.) that you haven't allowed yourself the opportunity for yet?
    I would like to get back into dancing(I've taken ballet, modern, and jazz before)
  • 1. What are your hobbies? I have so many :)  Tai chi, cooking, baking, photography, wine tasting (is that bad I list that as a hobby?!), music (listening, not playing!), reading, horseback riding, hiking, scrapbooking, I really need to get back into running...
    2. How much time do you devote to your activities?  Tai chi = lots since I have classes to go to and I pay a LOT for them!  lol :)  Everything else - not enough time!  Wish I had more time for them..  Oh, I cook and bake a ton, though :)
    3. What is something you've always wanted to do (learn a language, skydive, etc.) that you haven't allowed yourself the opportunity for yet?  Hmmm... good question... :)  Trying to think of what I'd like to do that I haven't yet - I've been lucky to have a pretty well-rounded life so far :)  Oh!  My FIL used to build race cars (drag racing) and he used to have this '55 Chevy that was a 9-second car (took 9 secs to go a 1/4 mile - fricking fast for a '55!  lol)  I always thought it would be so fun to go down the strip just once :)  Unfortunately he sold the car so I doubt I'll have that opportunity!  lol  Oh well, kind of scares me to think of the eco-footprint stuff like that leaves!  ;)  lol

    Would be fun to learn to brew my own beer :)
  • 1. Well, I play on a coed soccer team, I go and watch DH play hockey, I read, I work out, I love to blog and read blogs, I love to shop though I haven't done that much lately, and it seems that I've started to become obessed with cupcakes so I bake at least once a week now (which is really no good for anyone since more than half the things I make end up in the trash)
    2. Depends on how much time I have. I'm not one to sit still for very long, so as often as I can
    3. I really want to learn to play the gutiar. I already read music and understand cord structure now I just need to learn how to finger and strum them :)
