Topic: Odd Hobbies?

Posted under Off Topic

I know we all enjoy some good ol furry stuff.

But what does everyone else do in their spare time? I myself am practicing H.E.M.A (historical european martial arts) I'm just wondering what people do.

or if you're not deluded you'd call it 'mental tricks and sad times ahead'

Video games, as a main hobby, but:

Storytelling and logic "puzzles" that exercise my mind. I'm very good and thinking, organizing, and arguing.

Shadow fighting, I took North Korean Taekwondo, and studied boxing, mixed martial arts, mixed weapon fighting, and street / "made up" moves. I also exercise my mind by finding strengths and weaknesses in weapons.

BLS / First Responder (CPR). I am a registered first responder in California, and I go to class as a teacher aide with teaching students and helping the EMTs study (I was in that class but dropped yesterday because of family problems).

DnD. I want to play it as a DM and have friends willing, I just need to set it up and wait on one or two players to set up characters.

And, most importantly, working with tagging, wikis, and forums on E621. Took some time, but now it is relatively simple to know aliased and appropriate tags to thoroughly tag images.

Coding, modeling, hacking(the white hat kind), data archival, and sleeping. I don't do much.

I enjoy taking a telescope out to my university square and showing passers by stuff. Always cool to see the looks on people's faces when they see the planets for the first time!

I also paint and shit but never share it here. Just the stuff I colour that other lineart been done for.

In the fall, if I can, I also raise monarch caterpillars.

Watch tv, video games, read, draw, play with knives, e621, metalsmithing and jewelry is pretty fun to do that's pretty much it I guess.

To sound as crude as possible, do you have photos of your work? I like jewelry

Sorry I don't right now but I'll see if I can figure out how to get some pictures online later.

This site. :V

Though besides that, publicly I "people watch", do a bit of parkour, and maintain and improve my physical health. All the while I tend to try to be the fun, happy and caring guy around others and try to raise the spirits of all others around me in my interactions to keep those I may affect with my actions cheery. (I like being high-energy and all over the place.)

Privately, I play an occasional video game or two, but mostly I just watch YouTube or go this site and goof around. I also like to sing/practice my vocals a lot. Also, sleeping and resting in general is so very nice too. (Self TLC and just generally chilling out is the absolute best when I am not being so busy and bouncy!)

jets are even scarier when they're being used trying to kill you, Fenrick, so i fail to see the difference

Guns. Target shooting with rifles and claybusting, would love to try something like 3-gun.

Milsurp/gear queer/military equipment. Less of a hobby, more of a interest. A very expensive interest.

I've been doing Epee fencing for about 5 years now. However these past few weeks my interest has greatly dimished, and I may take a year or two off.

Video games, of course.

Archery is something I'm strongly thinking about getting into. But I'm trying to find reasons to say no.

That's cool
Martial arts and shit is something I should do, would be a great way to stay I shape, I fucking hate running on treadmills and lifting weights now.

Always wanted to learn first aid too. May just drop money on classes for it at the local CC.

-News browsing
-Collecting root beer bottles
-This site
-Learning things on my own (science related)
-Exploring how things look and work (Took a vocational program during second half of high school that deals with computer networking and electronics)

I would list more but due to college and work eating up most of my free time, the list above is pretty much it.

Updated by anonymous

- This site
- Gaming
- Science stuff (Nearly everything, except math ^^)
- Solving problems, thinking through different scenarios
- My 2 dogs
- Military stuff (technology, tactics, history etc.)

And at last: Finding my own martial arts technique, keep my experience with improved weapons, knives+blades and firearms up.
Sadly I seem to be a natural at such things :/

Black Ops 2, even though it's 4 years old and practically nobody's online anymore.

Web design - I like making webpages just for fun (like this: http://d621.net/ftl/throw-some-ds.php)

Singing in octaves well above my own (It sounds like I'm drowning kittens 98% of the time)

Being a furry

Writing Pokemon fanfiction.

Selling miscellaneous items on ebay. They mostly center around Pokemon cards.

Drawing Making solid progress and will open myself up for accepting commissions soon. Already starting gift arts. Just need to work on drawing faster and/or putting more time into it.

Playing video games. I'm currently going through Monster Hunter Generations, replaying Pokemon X, Final Fantasy VI Advance, Pokemon GO, Yo-Kai Watch, completing Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon, struggling with boredom through Project X Zone, replaying the PS1 Gran Turismo game, etc.

Exercising at 24 Hour Fitness. I go there 2-3 times a week and hit the treadmill for almost an hour. Need to start lifting weights though.

3D modeling and animation have been a favorite art form of mine these last couple of years, though my standards for myself make it difficult for me to show anyone my work. I also make more traditional art from time to time, and enjoy using my talents to make equine smut. From Software games like Dark Souls III are practically a hobby on their own, videogames being a slightly less developed hobby at this point. I took 2 years of Kempo Karate in High School, and quit at green belt for family reasons, and am now in Tae Kwon Do with a green belt, after having joined about a year ago.
I dabble in writing, but I don't imagine I will ever be able to write anything of great value, simply due to my horrible memory that only seems to get worse every year. I collect horse memorabilia, and actually just bought a lifesized pony plush, and not an MLP one either; I'm still waiting for that to come in though, there will be much cuddling. I watch Anime every so often, but I generally do not dwell on it like others. Right now I'm also working on a Tarot Card deck as something to do, and it is predictably horse/pony themed.
A REALLY strange hobby I've developed is masturbating to horses on this site. I know, it's very surprising. A hobby I've wanted to develop, but never could due to my friends having absolutely no interest, is tabletop games. I actually was going to be a part of a game once, and made a character and his background and his personality, and the entire game fell apart before I could ever even use the character. A shame... Last but not least, I enjoy My Little Pony fanfiction, but I only will give it a chance if it has MOSTLY consistent grammer and spelling.

Sorry about the wall of text. I've been feeling very meh lately, as I'm weaning off of my depression medication, and I can't be bothered to edit this beyond basic spelling and grammer.

You ever watch that youtube channel from that furry named Skallagrim? He dredges up some neat history and stuff on that topic.

I love that guy. He's the reason I even got into it. It's a shame it isn't more popular.

So I've been trying to find a way to post some pictures online but I'm extremely inept with anything more advanced than a toaster truly. For example the reason my user name has 666 at the end was because until recently I thought it was required that names had numbers in them online that's how dumb I am with technology. Plus the only digital camera I have is a used psvita my brother gave me and both it's browser and camera suck.

Anyway what all that means is I don't think I can post pictures online but if you REALLY want to see my jewelry maybe I could email pictures of them to you if you want.

I sent it I have more jewelry but those are my favorite also sorry about the quality of the pictures the psvita is not very good.

Recently I've taken to writing based off of what my imagination thinks up from a song. I wouldn't say it's amazing, but I've only showed one friend.
Then there's worldbuilding shenanigans that are ever-increasing.
Also modifying old strategy games like Red Alert 2 other C&C games.

I received the images and opened them up. They're great, I really like the details on the ring (open cardinal directions for where the gem is, diagonals for where the metal is). Would you like me to make links so the people here can see?

I like to play guitar and drums, write bad punk rock, longboard (mostly in parking garages because there are no hills where I live), exercise/bike, draw lots of bad furry porn, oh and drink A LOT.

What if scenarios are very fun. That is the usual mental challenge that I give myself, but forcing myself to think up of alternate solutions.

Yeah it really keeps the mind fresh, I always try to find out what detail is critical for a big change in the worlds history.
