Hobbies
I'm surprised there isn't a thread about this yet. What are your hobbies?
I recently acquired a new hobby: Taping empty soft drink cans together to make a long stick. Over the course of 2 days I've skulled over 5 litres/over 1 US gallon of Pepsi Max, to make a tower that is 14 cans high, over 1.7 metres!
Here it is yesterday:
And here it is today:
So,
1. What do you think? Will I be able to get it to 50 metres?
2. What are your (obscure or not) hobbies?

Are you serious? Those are just plastic cups! I could nip down to Woolies, grab a few bags and top that. That isn't impressive. It takes skill to drink soft drink and tape cans together though. Lucky my living room roof reaches to 5 metres!
No you can't. They all closed down. (Assuming it's short for Woolworths as that's what we called them in UK).
No, they are rife in Australia.
And adventure games.
You basicly paint em and make them look really cool. Being a loser I painted my one to look like the medic from TF2 but now that I've done one I crave to do more, hopefully more orginal ones. Sure does kill time and their lovely nic-naks to sit in my room.
Just a few: gaming (obviously), reading, writing, singing, instruments: piano, french horn, and pitched percussion, fencing, making small models of things and painting them, sketching cartoons, cooking/baking, martial arts, and, most recently, juggling.
There's probably more, but I can't remember.
Edit: I forgot sailing.
Ooh, I think I saw a tutorial of someone turning these into speakers a while back.
Do you have any finished pics of yours?
Yeah I saw that one! It is another reason I want more, get more crazy and creative like them ones!
And yeah sure why not, here is a quick picture I tooks. You can see I heavly stylized him, but with heads this giant how could I not?
I'd really like to try fencing! How difficult is it to learn?
It's not that difficult. Once you've got the basics down, then the rest just falls into place naturally. The hard part is finding a good fencing instructor who will teach you good form so you have a strong foundation to work off of. Also, if you fence epee (which is my weapon of choice) the only rule is: stab the other person.
I like games where the rules are simple.
Then fencing is definitely for you! Sign here for this limited time offer!
Yeah, I could never understand the "right of way" rules in foil and saber, but I love epee. Nowhere else can you stab someone on the bottom of their foot and have it count as a touch.:D
Huh. When I went to see AC/DC, the people who were getting restless just started smoking pot. It was an indoor venue. Assholes.
Anyway, my main creative hobby is sprite art. Unfortunately, I spend much more time on my related uncreative hobby, video games.
I like fencing, it looks much more elegant than most fighting games.
Did you drink them all yourself?
And then I swim (but that's my part time job). I play adventure games, and I read books, but really that's about it.
I wish I could draw, there are so many images I have in my head, and there is just no way to explain them through text, but I know I could depict them properly if I could draw or paint.
Lifeguard or instructor? I can't think of any other jobs that require swimming.
Fencing is very elegant, which is something that you see a lot of people forgetting in tournaments. I was lucky enough to find a coach who encouraged me to prefect my form and view fencing as an art as well as a sport. He always would say that fencing is all about "prettiness" and that it was preferable to lose with perfect form than to win with sloppy form.
Both actually.
You have a lot more time on your hands then you let on, don't you?
My hobbie is playing games. You say what it really is, but it's MY hobbie.
The previous version of this (I have 2 of them),
This with a wide axle,
and these 2 pairs of handsticks.
It's a great stress reliever, and is a fantastic way to loosen up muscles.
Oh wow, I thought I'd be the only one who enjoys the diabolo. I can barely do any tricks though, but it's so much fun.
That's what I all a "CAN-do attitude".
...
Nothing? Beh.
i love this it is awesome but he is staring into my soul
Who says I didn't have access to a toilet?
I think you need a better hobby if this one includes urinating, and taping cans to each other to make 6 foot tall tower.
Bah, idiots! The cups are much more innocent fun.
...and Highway, the cups were way more impressive. That's a lot of plastic cups!
I really can't stand anything like drugs or smoking. My dad used to smoke and the car smelt awful!
Agreed!
That said, my friends do like to drink some, and one of my friends will have a smoke every once in a while, and I guess it doesn't really bother me. I think the only way it would bother me is if one of them smoked regularly.
