Other hobbies besides AMVs?

This forum is for members to discuss topics that do not relate to anime music videos.

Read. Just about anything. I need fiction right now, actually; all I have is Battle Royale, which I won't read until I finish the manga version, and a giant-ass compilation of the short fiction of Harlan Ellison, and I will need to do some arm curls with free weights before I can read that. :lol: (I don't have very high hopes for it, but I was curious and ended up getting it for Christmas. The last giganto-compilation I read was by Arthur C. Clarke, and just about nothing can live up to that.)

I also sew, constantly but not very well. I passed my 20th cosplay assignment in 2006 (I'm ugly as hell, so I mostly dress up prettier people), but my enthusiasm for that has waned because it's a relentlessly perfectionist and thankless money pit of a hobby that only the very, very bad and the very, very good can actually enjoy. Kinda... kinda like AMVs, in that way. ;) (I kid, I kid. It's hard to find that devil-may-care attitude with regard to cosplay, because the product is you and not something you've made. I find it hard to achieve the necessary distance.)

My younger sister and I also have a collective obsession / hobby / sidetrack making cosplay-like deelybobbers and whatsits. Our next deadline is in 12 weeks, so uh... the world should be relatively free of me until after that. :lol: Currently working on an Ouran High School Host Club teddy bear, which is a no-brainer.

I enjoy quilting, but it's been sidelined for the last couple of years because of the cosplay / Artists' Alley stuff. Started to learn how to knit, but I can't seem to purl and kinda shelved that until I have more free time which may be NEVER ARGH.

I enjoy cooking, mostly vegetarian, because I dislike raw meat. Savory baking is my favorite - bread and biscuits, stuff like that. And trying new things.

Of course, playing video games. Mostly console RPGs, Japanese style, with a smattering of other ones, like Okami and the odd rhythm game at which I suck but play anyway because it's fun. I also have yet to find my equal at Karaoke Revolution. I have a horrible voice, but because of the way they score, I own that game hard. It's embarrassing.

My annoyingness isn't a hobby; it's a disease.

Somehow I can't imagine you in a furry suit, in bed, yelling "I'm Battle Cat and you're He-Man! Show who has the power baby! Work that sword, WORK IT! Fuck that She-Ra bitch, cats have all the fun."

Or, more accurately, I can easily imagine this and I wish to god I couldn't.

um ....playing around with my PSP (portable porn man!) reading, i use to write, started as novel but stopped half way in when i realized i needed to change things i was to lazy to change, making music and trying to learn guitar, watching youtube (does that count?) I'm trying to get back into shape but its not going that well (failed hobby) and watching movies (last night was BB Mountain, bad movie) and on occasion i touch myself or others. Oh, and drinking/smoking/bars/clubs/parties/anywhere drugs are. Thats all i can think of for now.

Haha, I don't wear fursuits. xD

But the closest I've gotten is that tail I wore at AWA + dog collar + leash/chain and an "owner" ;)

My hobbies go something like this
1. Listening to music
2. Playing guitar
3. playing video games
4. talking to friends (whether hanging out with them in person or on the internet)
5. watching anime
6. making AMVs (not so much anymore, but dammit, I try)

Scarier still, Godix, I know what SQ sounds like, so as I was reading that little monologue, I could actually hear her say it. Kinda twisted my brain a little o.o

Also, my list left off a few "vitals" that are pretty much givens... eating, sleeping, women, etc.

And this isn't even remotely weeaboo, considering I'm in asia, and this is just normal, and dirt cheap.
