What are YOUR HOBBIES?

[k]

even though we might have done this before after awhile it seems natural to revisit topics.  sometimes it's just too complicated to look back through all the topics.   and i want to thank you for bringing it up again.
 i have enjoyed reading and seeing everything.  lots of talent aboard i see.  i love the sharing and i hope members will do more of it.   my mother had an incredible amount of hobbies and her constant comment to me was i would be cured if only i would get some hobbies.    i guess it's how you define hobbies. 
i have always devoured books except when the drugs have made it difficult.     i love history, philosophy, classic literature, comparative religion (study of all religion) right now i'm learning all i can about islam, the history of Ireland and Scotland (my heritage) what exactly the american federal reserve bank does.  i use to write extensively but haven't been doing that for awhile but am desperately hoping i get back to it (always wanted to write a book "my fictious life"
i can't live without music.  i can't live without nature and am totally into ravens and woodpeckers right now  although there are a few i'm afraid of  i can't think of an animlal i don't like (except maybe those damn groundsquirrels who are moving my property to china...i don't know if these are exactly hobbies they are more just who i am and what i do and what keeps me going.

i am absolutely envious of all of you who create art,  play music, fix things,  i miss having that kind of talent. 

thanks everyone for sharing.  and by the way,  you don't have to be bored to look for phyllis' art, it's worth the search, it's great stuff!

Looks like we're a talented bunch - there must be something to that theory about BP and high intelligence / creativity 

Personally I like playing Bass guitar (which I'm ok at) and tinkering a bit with six string guitar and keyboard (which I'm rubbish at), I write novels, though not for the last couple of months, I like to sing, I used to act and take dance classes and figure-skating lessons but can't afford them now, plus I don't have access to a real ice rink. I'm also doing a little more modelling again (Fashion) which is fun. Hobbies are good.

Basically any kind of dog pulls a scooter like sleddogs would pull a sled.  Even people will small dogs do it but they use several dogs.  I wish I could find the pic with mini poodles...but I found these.
