So, Shywon's recent thread and Sheri's reply prompted me to wonder about the hobbies of the different members of this board. I would be curious to know what you guys do in your free time and what interests/ hobbies do you have? If you don't have any, why and what are some things that pique your interest?
My hobbies include photography, vintage fashion and shopping, collage art, reading, volunteering for animal welfare organizations, yoga, travel (whenever possible), watching foreign films, writing, and decor. I have a particular interest in meditation but have never actually had a faithful practice (I also have a short attention span and get VERY restless). But, I would like to learn more about it and maybe try to stick with it someday.
Anyone else care to share their hobbies?

Cool stuff. So, we have the animal thing in common. I knew we were kindred spirits deep down.
As for crocheting, I think that is so neat. I can knit but I never taught myself to crochet. I'd like to learn though and might take it up sometime in the future.

If you can knit, crochet is a breeze.
Singing, going to hear live music, reading, watching movies (from mainstream blockbusters to art/foreign/indie films), going to plays and other cultural events, going to/watching sporting events (particularly baseball), visiting museums, hiking, sea kayaking, and most of all: TRAVEL.
What I really like in a partner or friend is a RANGE of interests. I seem to have no problem meeting women who can go from cheering on the Sonics at a rowdy sports bar one night, to the symphony or the latest Olivier Assayas film the next night, but trying to find a *guy* with such a range of interests is tough. Or they've never been out of the country and have no interest in doing so--I don't get that at all (I can see never having had the opportunity to travel but to not have an interest baffles me).

My hobbies are rock climbing, working out, dancing, taking abs classes, swimming, laying out ;), volleyball, and volunteer at a animal shelter.
My interests consist of becoming a hygienist, and maybe a back up dancer...but we will see.
Hmmmmmm hobbies......Let's see....
I love to shop, I love to read. I crochet in my free time (working on a baby afghan right now, just finished 2 larger afghans, lol!). I enjoy going out to night clubs, I'm a computer nut. I'm a cat person, I love music and I dance a little bit, too!
I see I have a couple things in common with some of you.
The things I do...
I crochet off and on.
