I need a new Hobbie...???

[Illusion24]

Well, I've thought a lot about it and I've come to an agreement that I need a new hobbie...What though???

 

~I've been a gymnast and cheerleader for 11 years...I'm all f*cked up so that's out of the question.

~I collected CD for a long time but money right now is tight!!

~I started the gym but had no one to go with...so I stopped and ended up paying gym fees for 2 years!!

 

So...what can I do??? I need some ideas, something that can stimulate my mind but not cost to much money...Any ideas my peeps?? I need something to distract me from everyday life and to calm me down....Help!!!

my mother has Really found her knitch in stained glass, she makes the most beautiful pieces.

 

look at the summer classe offerd at your local communiy center, or college, or trade school.

[Illusion24]

I would like something I can do at home...I've even tried watching HGTV to get ideas but their to complicated

[tiki]

I like to organize. I like to take classes. Church. Yardwork. Garden. Volunteer.

 

My new hobby: I'm making my own patchwork hippified purses. I bought all of the fabric the other day. I'm going to hand-sew them, HOPEFULLY. I can't wait!!!

 

And I have this tie-dye kit.

 

Go check out the art & crafts dept in your Wal-Mart.

[Illusion24]

Cool...that sounds like fun!! In Wal-Mart...serious?? I'm going to Wal-Mart today...woohoo so excited

 

Garden.

 

I have a little yard... but that would be nice to do

[tiki]

I bought a bazillion fabrics, all colors and textures. I'm gonna cut em into little patches and then sew wm all together.

um...rearrange furniture? I LOVE to rearrange furniture

 

Go for walks.

 

OOh! Get a pet! Pets are LOTS of fun. Get doggy...they need the most attention.

 

Can you pick up an instrument? Music is a great hobby. Kinda expensive though

 

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuumm....my mom bought a jig saw and made all kinds of wood stuff for YEARS.

 

What about a garden? Now THAT'S a productive hobby. Or a flower bed.

 

What about landscaping? Is there a ditch in your yard that needs dug?

 

Knitting.

 

Make quilts. But odd peices of material, and make hand made quilts...then sell them for a fortune

 

I like to paint things. If I have two lamps that don't match, spray paint them both the same color, so they look like they go together

Raise monkeys for fun and profit?

 

No?

 

Okay, have a look at these sites . . .

My bf doesn..shhh...lol Well is he has a guy...but hey maybe I can start my own gardening...wink wink..

[tiki]

Yes. I'd do that if I smoked pot. Where do you get the seeds?

 

Grow some herbs and seasonings. Then cook wit em.

[laRubiaBonita]

when i come across a seed, i used to chuck them into my potted plant and they actually spouted....but that was it.

Volunteers would've been cool, but then what?

Toss your computer into the garbage... that's one way to force yourself into finding something else to do.

 

I thought about tossing mine (both of them), but I do a lot of side jobs that require computer work. My livelihood depends on them.

Internet prostitution DOES take a good HARD-drive .

screw tap dancing. Take belly dance. I did that for like 4 years (I did ballet, jazz and tap for like 12 years before that). Yoga is very soothing. It might be good for your anal retentiveness..
