View Full Version : Reviving interests and hobbies.
I've been getting back into my art interests this week.
As usual with me it's become a bit of an obsession.
I was enjoying these today and decided that not only were they good enough to eat they good enough to sketch.
Anyone else revived any old hobbies or interests lately and have you any pictures to show us?

Well I go to calligraphy classes at the moment - but I used to do patchwork and quilting. I have more than enough stuff to do a couple of quilts - the idea was to make two and give them to my daughters to pass on through the family - well the stuff is still in the loft after I don't know how many years! :rofl: However I am now getting around to designing one for me as a prototype - then who knows? ;)

I play golf and football. Enjoy listening to music, reading and playing online games.
Sounds like a CV !
I've got an ambition to be a sitcom writer and have a great idea, just not sure where to start !

Do you make your own flies?

Wouldn't it be better to swap the sub and printer locations? That Sub won't help the tracking on the decks.

I like calligraphy too but I've had to give up on it because I can't grip the pen well enough to complete any work properly.Drawing and sketching don't seem to require the same sort of grip luckily. :)

Smack!!Don't start a techy discussion here.Tell us what hobbies and interests you have instead. :D

Now see, that's what I was told, but there's around 5g's on the cartridges and it never skips even with my harsh back cueing. It's only there temporarily though as I've ordered a new desk

Chances are it'll go at the bottom (in the middle) of that.
I used to love writing, and started a novel a couple of times, but got nowhere ... teenager, lack of focus you see. :) I'd like to get down to it seriously and get something published though. I had a crack when I was on a train from Edinburgh to Glasgow recently, and concocted a short story based on my observations during the journey, which was an interesting exercise. I think I'll look for an opportunity to do it again.
I also like hill walking, which I have not had much opportunity to do living in Hertfordshire! Thankfully I am shortly off back to Scotland and all being well will have Ben Lomond in my back garden before the end of the year. Should help me get fit too.

I have a fantastic one from the top of Goat Fell, Isle of Arran, two years ago, but it's pre-digital. We've packed a lot of stuff away with getting ready to move, but if I can find it, I'll scan and post it. I'm quite pleased with it as I had to line it up, guessing where I was going to be, and then balance it on the trig point. (I was on my own that day).

You should take one for yourself, so you can have a before and after.

I think it will be "interesting" once I get on the treadmill ie how long before I need mouth-to-mouth.
I would like to go to nightschool to learn another language but work till 8pm so I've no chance, perhaps a change in career is needed or marry a millionaire ;)

Well poetry is a really personal issue so I would understand if you didn't want to share but I'd still like to read some of your work. :tu:

Oh that is a shame.I hope you are backing up your work now so you have a copy somewhere?You are young and one day it it will be nice to look back at what your younger self had to express about the world.It might even be nice to show to any children,perhaps to even publish.

Well, I looked and it's in a box that's already gone to hide in the in-laws' spare room. We've been house doctoring!

I'm very rounded ;) But that's enough about my weight :)

Not really revived any old ones, but I'm going to start surfing sometime in the next few weeks and I'm going skiing next winter.
I may well take my camera and do some pics when I'm there, so that could count, I suppose.
and have you any pictures to show us?
Not unless you want me to be banned again! :naughty:
But all the photos on my site are my own work.
In my pre smoking days (going on 7 months now, woo hoo) i was a really good runner. I am thinking about taking up that again, maybe train for a half marathon or something

you gave up 7months ago? flipping hell time has flown :Yikes:
- Music production
- Mixing progressive Trance
ws going to ask before, and this thread is the perfect oppotunity as i wouldn't mind hearing anything you've mixed Halcyon, is there anyway to do that?
Don't suppose there is any way we can 'hear' your music? :)
There will be as soon as I get my website sorted and I will upload clips and stuff on there. Most album material still needs mastering and work done to it so I hope to get a mini album sorted out end of summer.
Thats hoping I dont get side tracked as at the moment I've been going out celebrating the end of my uni year more than producing.
Other hobbies I have include:
(Dont laugh) I used to collect sugar packets. I still pick up the odd unusual ones from around the world. They have so many different pictures and stuff on them.
- Computers and technology and all that.

Well at the moment I wargame (sad I know) usually once a week, and roleplay (really sad, I know) once a week. Thats about all I can hack at the moment.
I used to skydive quite a bit, and have 312 jumps in my logbooks. I had hoped to start BASE Jumping this year, but with the accident I dont know if I'll be able to skydive never mind BASE. :cry: I also used to build and paint models and diorama's, and I'm a huge reader. I have about a thourand books in my personal library. :erm: Though most of them are boxed up and in storage. I used to play rugby, but my right shoulder is too shagged out for that any more, so I might see about another couching course, and put something back.
Mt mates and me getting ready to get lost

Will take some and post em, they are nothing special though...just little trout flies :)
Used to play golf approx. 6 times a year and then stopped about 6 years ago due to losing all my balls on one hole (see attachment) started again last April and now I am a member at the course that made me give up the game... Still hate that hole though... :grind:

Do you have any less physical hobbies or interests? :)
So um, yeah, I never did mention what my "hobbies" were (hobby is such a "Fist of Fun" word too ;))
I mix/scratch all sorts of music, vinyl only atm, thought I'm probably selling both turntables to buy a pair of decent CD decks.
I design web sites, though that's not really an interest any more as I do it for living.
I'm planning to take up Sea and game fishing soon, use to do a lot of course match fishing but there aren't many course angling spots round here.
.. and I do a spot of digital photography, owing to the amazing scenery around where I live

Ah, I wondered when we'd get round to the infamous Simon Quinlank. Anybody brought a weak lemon drink with them? :D

I don't have any real hobbies, I'm afraid, though I like to play table tennis and squash, and I love to cook (asian/mediteranean). I haven't found any time/desire to try out exciting new dishes lately though. Oh, and I love to travel. I've seen a fair bit of Asia over the years. :)

I have taken up fishing after not going for many many years & although my fishing tackle is 20+ years old it still does the job (catches nothing, never did :) ).
The relaxation etc is a great help & encourages me to not stop up all night on the Xbox playing. I now get to go (with er indoors permission)every Sunday evening as it then gets me out of her way for us both to have some peace, only I dont have to bath the kids & send them to bed... :)
I'm now thinking of taking up collecting large sizes teddy costumes in the hope that I can trick Debs on day... :D :D

I'd love to play the drums and own a drum kit.
I love playing "air drums" wheneverI stick on a CD.
I think I could pick it up Ok as when I'm DJ'ing your used to counting beats and stuff so I'd love to have a go.
Maybe when I get a job after Uni, I'l have to save up and buy a kit.

Beatmatching is an absolute piece of p*ss compared to syncopating, pretty much anyone can match up two bits of vinyl but it takes skill to be able to move each limb independently of another :D

Learn to juggle! :D

Ah well I still want to give it ago.

Now you're asking! - Only a bit of Digitial Photography and Camcorder then making DVD's - O and Babysitting!
Refrains from saying spending 14 hours a day on a PC (some work of course!)
Ah well I still want to give it ago.
Good thing to try too, I did once, I was inexplicably crap at it mind, especially as the set I tried had something like 4 toms, 3 snares, double bass drum and enough cymbals to sink a car ferry. Drum machines are so much easier :D
That it for everyone? No one else have any hobbies or interests? :)
