I need a hobby.
« on: September 21, 2009, 02:04:59 pm »

As the title suggests, i've come to realise that i spend waaaaaaaaay too much time online.

(Or, rather, other people realise that i spend "too much" time on games and whatnot.)

I therefore, require a nice diversionary Hobby. I am currently learning C++ to facilitate in other projects, but that does not eat up that much time.

Something that isnt a sport would be preferable, unless it's an obscure one. (basically not Football or rugby, or any other, horrible contact sport).

Anything at all really, as long as it dosent eat up my monies too much.

Well ye could try taking a fun class at a nearby community college (assuming you have one). Like I've got an ornamental ironwork class thats alot of fun and if your only doing the projects you don't have to pay extra unless you want to do your own project. Even then at least for that class its not that pricy and you can always go to a scrap yard and scavenge some decent metal.

Learn to juggle, learn to ride a unicycle, paint, draw (even if it's bad), write, make models, learn to fix engines, play badminton (ok it's not obscure, but I don't like sports and I like badminton), read books, take up photography, play the piano/flute/sax/insert any other musical instrument here, solve maths problems for fun, etc, etc, etc.

Do you want me to go on?

I've always found psychology to be an interesting hobby.

Creative writing? I find that it's a wonderful form of expression.

Cook. Learn to bake and fry and boil and chop. You'll be more knowledgeable AND you'll have better meals in the future.

Plus it's a good way to pull in the ladies. Seriously if you can cook even a little bit well it goes a long way.

 So many ideasssss!

Creating games. It trains your creativity AND coding skills. Also, the skills in trying to learning how to make games becomes very useful if you ever decide to go into technical research in the future. I've got some sweet technical research skills from researching for crappy games.

Or, yeah, cooking is awesome.
