Uncommon Hobby

[Plucky]

I have a real interest in Magic and secretly watch tricks behind people's backs..but i don't actually do any magic myself, shame though. (don't really have the space, plus parents are letter openers who looks in everyones mail, this has also stopped me from getting, ahem other things aswell >.> <.<)


Other than that, who keeps the gameboxes and/or reciepts when they buy games? i mean i must have over 30 DS game boxes in this weird wooden wall thing that used to be attatched on the bathroom wall, but now its just sitting on my drawers. 0,0

Trampoline. And I don't mean the elegant stuff that will get you into the olympics, no I mean going as high as possible and doing the craziest flips without dying. I used to go to a club for this where they had what can only be described as a pool filled with matrasses: "the pit." Your crazy moves could fail as miserable as you want, as long as you landed inside that thing you would be fine. Even after faceplants from 6 meters high.
I was supposed to be in the competitive devision of the club but instead I always joined the beginner squad. Not to show off but because the trainers there didn't really have much more to teach me so instead I just had to help train the kiddies and other than that I could go nuts on any equipment there. Best. arrangement. ever.

I cook extraordinary dishes from ordinary ingredients.

I handcraft Native American style bows.

Those are indeed fantastic quality bows, if you live in Australia I'd love to purchase one.

I cook extraordinary dishes from ordinary ingredients.

Think you could rustle me up some tasty recipes using common Chinese ingredients?

I'm gonna be out here a while and want to raise my cuisine stat.

On topic:

I don't play Yugioh competitively anymore, but I still love creating decks for it.

I'm even looking into the possibility of becoming an actual card designer.

I havea less-common hobby for an antipodean Uni student.
I fence.
It's not a common hobby. Not at all.
Most people give you a quizzical look and think "really?"
But hey, I get to have sword fights.

So, what unusual hobbies does the escapist have?


...or am I going to regret asking that question.

Fencing isn't too obscure and uncommon, there are many people with the stigma that it is only for the fancy-pants rich people. Congratulations on a great hobby though. I have also heard of people that practice broadsword and shield fighting.

Myself, I am pretty much a tech nerd, though I prefer work that involves heavy labor and tend to hold more respect for construction workers and such over desk jockeys. With that sort of view I tie fly fishing flies, but absolutely hate catching fish and am in fact allergic to fish. When it comes time for me to retire I intend on spending my days on a small bass boat in a lake with a fishing line in the water and essentially a weight on my line and no hook.

Basically what I do is open my cupboard and chuck a few things together, sometimes they're fantastic others time they're eh, sadly, my location doesn't give me easy access to exotics.

Alright try this, thick egg noodles, stir-fry beef, spare rib sauce, steam some veggies, cook the noodles until soft, cook the beef, add sauce, veggies and noodles into a fry-pan or wok, mix and serve.

If I could get to my fridge, (Which I can't because I'm supposed to be in bed), I can suggest you this fantastic rib sauce that doubles as a stir-fry sauce.

I watch old game shows on Youtube. Odd pastime of mine that actually occupied much of my time this past long weekend. I even have a bunch of game show themes on my iPod.

 

[Rayne870]

I handcraft Native American style bows.

That is really awesome.

 

[Arcane Snowman]

I firetwirl and used to fence, both sport and "archaic", (although I moved just recently, and with am a bit of a couch potato, I haven't gotten around to finding a new place to fence.)

 

[SenorNemo]

I design and build lego models. I have a very large collection back at home, but unfortunately, there's not really any room for lego in my dorm room, and I haven't really had time to build in a while. A shame really.

Heh, me too. I've got an almost finished and damn big battlecruiser standing around because all of my stuff is now at my grandparents' house which is a 4 hours drive away so I don't get to build very often.
Aw well, I've got Minecraft to make up for it at least...

And in the future I might have to add "paramedic" to my hobbies seeing as I won't have the time to do it full-time once uni starts in septembre. I hope that hobby's uncommon enough for your needs.

Do you have a flickr account? If you're who I think you are, believe I may already know you (online at least).

I'm a LARPer. I spend my Sunday afternoons covered in fur and face paint running around with a foam sword. This is proper European LARP, mind you, none of the North American boffer weaponry.

*Wistful sigh* Ohhh, beef.

That sounds really good, but it ain't easy to get beef around these parts unfortunately. I'll try subbing in some chicken (I know where to get great chicken).

Thanks dude.

I'd be wary trying rib sauce with chicken... Never done it myself but you could try Lamb?

Chicken done with peanut-butter satay (Not exactly original), is pretty good.

 

[Ampersand]

I've got a few, I'm a juggler, an archer, a martial artist as well as a really terrible acrobat.

 

[DSK-]

I handcraft Native American style bows.

That is cool

OP: I beachcast - or go sea fishing, usually with my dad and some of his friends. It's a nice feeling catching a fish and returning it to the sea.

We used to take out boat out but we had to sell it due to financial problems when my mum had her stroke last year. They were fun times.

 

[Jonluw]

I handcraft Native American style bows.

Now I'm beginning to wonder if the supposed longbow I made a few years back was actually a NA style bow... Rectangular cross section, tapering from the handle to the tip.
I never got around to finishing it; and when I try to draw it these days it sounds like it's cracking.

I used to do some archery, but haven't really been doing that much lately.

 

[8-Bit Grin]

I collect pulp/cheesy dime novels.

I have around 800, from original Conan to Jesse James westerns.

 

[GamemasterAnthony]

I am a fanfiction author. Back in 2001, I wrote my first fic, "Heroes of Arcadia - The Gamemaster's Legacy", and it blew up into a popular fanfiction series. So popular, in fact, that I recently got Troped for my fanfiction even though I haven't written anything new in around four years.

I am currently working on a reboot of my series and hope to post my first fic of the reboot soon. That is, if I can stop being distracted. *COUGH*Maplestory*COUGH*Escapist*COUGH*
