30 Day blog challenge: Day 20 — A hobby of yours

this could be tricky...

i don't really have any hobbies, as such.  well - i don't really think about the things i do as hobbies, anyway.

i think i might have to cheat again...

first and foremost, of course, is reading, but that's less of a hobby and more of a way of life.  i'm sure it's that way for many of those who might read this post, since most will follow the link i post on Twitter, and most of my Twitterati are writers of one stripe or another.  if anyone else comes across this...  

hi!  say hello, whydontcha?  i'm quite friendly, you know. :o)

i suppose i've had quite a few hobbies at one time or another in my life - but nothing i do constantly.  i have a butterfly mind (read: short attention span and limited staying power).  amongst the activities i do or have done in the past, and in no particular order, are:
  • making greeting cards
  • origami
  • macrame
  • knitting
  • making friendship bracelets
  • climbing
  • writing
  • aikido (though that is one i will never be going back to - faaaaaar  too active XP)
  • writing out the lyrics to my favourite Iron Maiden songs (that one was a loooong time ago - before the interwebz, even! )
  • ...er...does listening to music count?  probably not...
  • dancing    (not just ballroom - i used to do ballet.  i admit to giving it up aged seven, but it still counts, right...?)
 there are probably more, but i'm buggered if i can remember them at the moment.  and i haven't forgotten (even though i haven't been in months) that i said one day i might write about the different kinds of climbing, and what each entails (in the case of free climbing, f'r instance, utter madness...)

as you can probably tell from the list, i have the urge to be creative, or at least make/create stuff.  sadly, i'm hampered by a lack of creativity, and my tendency to be easily dist....  oooh!  shiny thing! O_O

do you have any hobbies, dear reader?  care to share...?

  1. I try to have hobbies besides reading and writing, but I usually put them aside so I can get back to reading and writing. For example, I started a crocheted bag over a year and a half ago and it, along with the three other totes of craft supplies, sit in a closet in my office.
