What do you do in your free time?

[jasonm519]

Personally, I surf the web, read, play video games, listen to music, or any number of other things. All depends on what I'm feeling at the time.

What do you do in your free time or even what is a hobby you enjoy?

What is that, could someone please explain that to me? I don't think I've seen that, since....oh, 1989 or so....

I like listening to music too, Jason, but it's more like something I would define as a habit...somewhat like breathing. I come home, turn on the tunes and then go about doing other things. Now PLAYING music is a horse of a different color altogether and pretty much demands one to sit and focus on that one task alone...and the way that playing music awakens all your senses...like every nerve is on end...it's so very relaxing yet intense.

I also love to cook. I usually don't do recipes. I never wrote them down and I suppose I should, the way my mother, grandma and even great-grandma used to write down all their specialties. I would have to think about what I actually do to an omelet or explain why my version of Greek Chicken is better...hehe Anyway, I really love cooking and shopping for the ingredients. Is shopping at Trader Joe's a hobby? HA!

Sometimes I watch movies that I rent or own...I love film and I don't even own a TV, because I find the programs so dull. Anything noteworthy is for rent or purchase now!

I have to admit that despite my avoidance of shopping malls, I love to shop online. I buy shoes from Zappos.com and other stuff like electronics from eBay. It saves me a lot of time and I don't have the pressure of some eager salesperson hounding me who is hired to pretend they care about your needs. I know this because I AM a salesperson. LOL

Other times, I get sick of everything and just wanna walk down to the park and feed the squirrels...or go to the beach and smell the salt air while I dig my toes in the wet sand like when I was a little girl...trying to feel the sand crabs. Is that a hobby? If a hobby is something you love, then I guess it is.

I'm a word junkie...I like weaving the simplest words together in a way that makes them seem not so ordinary anymore. That comes in mighty handy while writing poetry and songs. It's something I love to do for fun, so I guess that's a hobby too!

This comes to mind.
YouTube - Harvey Danger- Flagpole sitta

Also, head on the nail with music. Recently I've tried to be better at listening more closely to the songs because I'm bad at picking out the different instruments or lyrics otherwise.

ROTF Jason!!! I love that song actually. LOL

I had to read that about 3 times before I got what you were saying! FREE TIME!!! Well, I think we make time for what we love to do, and my thinking is that anything that's considered PLAY vs. WORK...would qualify as a hobby.

I guess I'm a lollygagger then, because I always make time for me, even if I have to put off doing the laundry for just this day. Because this day is MINE, and I'm gonna do what I love right now, dagnabit!

I think that's why people get old. They forget how to play. Did you ever hear a child say to his playmate, "So what do YOU do for a hobby?" LOL That's just a word old people invented because they thought they were too old to go out and play!

Just my twisted way of seeing things I guess! hehe

[cutemaleguy]

Chill at the malls, excercise, make music, draw, play video games, chill on the computer, watch tv, ride my bike, listen to music... basically i like to do things indoors and outdoors.

[bigglesworth]

I love to dance...it is my joy and my passion, I prefer to Ballroom dance, tango, waltz, foxtrot, rumba, quickstep, samba, nightclub two step, the hustle, and swing. Just get me to a dance floor and I am happy. Oh I like to bowl too, and do that on Wednesdays with a bunch of gals that love it too. Otherwise I am now into motorcycles and love the feel of the wind through my hair and on my face......I pln on living forever. Well almost forever. LOL

Build redicously cool computers, use my telescope, ride the motor cycle, play video games. but mostly these days its going to the park and doing things thats fun for my three year old to do.

I'm the worst dancer you could ever hope to never see, so i tend to steer away from the dance clubs.

i've got a KTM 600cc Super Enduro, Should see the looks on the crotch rocket guys faces when they get dumped on by a dirt bike and i go zippin' off into the fields after handing them there asses. sort of priceless in a goofy way
