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...?

to challenge, or...oooh! shiny thing!

soooo...  whilst fighting the cat for posession of my lap and trying to prevent him from treading all over the keyboard, i was perusing the blog of the lady who has been Drabbling so marvellously all over the comments of my previous post (hi Liz! *waves*).  I saw that she was doing a thirty day blog challenge. (...uh...  what happened to that, BTW - xmas get in the way...? *sympathy*), and I thought it might be a somewhat interesting exercise.  i mean - i know hardly anybody ever reads this poor wittering, but perhaps i'll learn something about myself...?  maybe.  anyway - it's a leeeetle late in the month to start it now.  22 days of posting all at once is a bit of a tall order.  and would probably be information overload., anyway.  so perhaps i'll have a stab at it in january, when the times are cold and bleak and post-christmassy boring.  and try and lick NaNo 2010 into shape at the same time.  or maybe, as usually happens, i'll be distracted by a shiny thing and fail. 

we'll see.  here are the questions, anyway...
