What are three hobbies that you enjoy, (besides sex), and why did you choose them?

For me:

1) Gardening: I find it relaxing and fulfilling

2) Needlework: Again, I find it very relaxing.

3) My Dogs: Rewarding with lots of love and affection.


Your turn. :)

1) Beading~ I have no idea why I love it so much but it leaves me feeling as if I've created something beautiful

2) Bead hunting~ I love hunting for the perfect stones and discovering new things to use. I also like the geology behind some of the pieces.

3) Herb gardening~ I love my herbs they aid me in cooking delish meals, staying healthy, and feeling at peace and relaxed.

Gardening and preserving the harvest - 'cause I like playing in the dirt (don't like the bugs though) and because fresh veggies taste soooooo good in the middle of winter.

Quilting - Similar to Lil's beading... I like the creation and then seeing the quilt used.

Reading - for learning and entertainment.

Other than Pixies? :D :p :D


Reading ~ escapism and education
Going to school ~ getting my MBA has been FUN
Performing ~ still like breaking out the trombone on occasion!

1) cross-stitching because it relaxes me and lets me create something beautiful.

2) Trying to watch every reality T.V. show that is on because irrating hubby is fun. :D

3) Playing on my message boards and chatting with friends.

Sewing...though I do it for a living, I do make stuff for myself from time to time. Gotta go hunt up Lilith's old thread asking for pics...I got some doosies!

Gardening...and I'm going through withdrawl now that winter's set in!

Guitar...and I still suck! Don't practice enough...and I'm due for lessons aaaaany day now...lol!

Collecting time pieces (not just clocks...but any form of keeping time) and old bottles.

Computer...and yes...I suck at that too! But I love learning and I can pick up stuff pretty quickly...if spoken in English as opposed to geek-speak! *giggle*

My most annoying hobby? Picking out improper use of the English language. And, I know I'm not the perfect person to do it...I've my own faults. I wouldn't necessarily call that a hobby...more like part of my O.C.D. I'm getting better in my tolerance though. I just listen now and say to myself "I should have been an English teacher".

Having sex.
Reading about sex.
Watching sex.
Anything to do with sex.
and the ones I enjoy when I can afford to and have the time are:
Hunting, fishing, shooting(guns and bow), computers(bulding them and working on them), and did I mention SEX!

reading-because, well, the reading rainbow song says it all. :D
baking&cooking-i love the chemestry of it, the finished product and especially when it's tasted and deemed excellent. :D
writing and drawing-creative outlets

Reading anything I can get my hands on for inspiration/entertainment
Writing when the mood strikes because it's a way to vent and also a creative outlet
Photography, I think it provides an opportunity to see the world from a different perspective

this should serve as further punctuation that i am a different sort of pixie. most everyone here gardens (is that a verb?), and reads and such. sometimes i wonder why i fit in at all. :( oh wait, i remeber! i like sex and good people!

anyway, my hobbies are fishing, fantasy football (i know i'm a geek, but i LOVE football!) and poker of any kind. you can add playing rancher to the list if it qualifies as a hobby because i love that too.

I do enjoy so many things... :)

1) I love to read, I always have... ever since I taught myself how to, books and I have been inseparable.
2) I love baseball... and now you will see the true math nerd in me... and one of my favorite things to do in the summer is go to baseball games and keep the score and stats. :)
3) I love music, I, well, up til now, performed in all kinds of ensembles at school, and hope to continue.

My hobbies.....

1) People watching. Is that a hobby? I dunno but I enjoy it at the beach, ball games, where ever. I just find people fasinating.

2) Collecting teddy bears. Stuffed, glass, ceremic, wood, clay, pictures, any medium. Not sure why I like them so much.

3) Girl Scouting. I have been a leader for almost 14 years and a Service Unit Manager of 2 towns (basically a leader of the leaders) for 5. The girls are great and I think it's important to invest my time in the future women of the world. Besides that I love all the scouty stuff, the silly games, goofy songs, crafts, community service, camp fires and s'mores. But I will NOT tent camp!! Cabins with cold and hot running water, heat, beds, showers, flush toilets, fridges and cook stoves are the only way for me. LOL.

Who has time for hobbies :rofl:

For me - writing is relaxing usually. Other than that watching my son play baseball and daughter in her sport of choice at the time - most recently swim team.
