Hobbies

[Pooky]

Just wondering what everyones hobbies are.

I am a bit of a geek when it comes to computers and this seems to be my main winter hobby at the moment in the evenings as it is too cold outside, that and reading my books.

I quite like Terry Pratchett and Tom Clancy.

Just re-reading the "triology of five" (quite how you get a triology of five I don't know but that is what the collection of books says) of Hitch Hikers guide to the galaxy at the moment.

I am a certified Travel junkie and Internet junkie. I also an enthusiastic photographer and travel writer, and hope to make some money out of doing either some day soon!

I'm not too good at reading, although I'm not sure if that's due to Irlen's Syndrome (sp), poor concentration or from staring at computer screens for far too many hours As a result I've taken up listening to audio books, and I find a good Bill Bryson book keeps my chuckling to and from work!

watching movies (and analyzing them), anything to do with animals/biology, anything to do with Harry Potter, all types of music (in moderation), writing fiction (want to become an author someday), anything to do with Nicholas Sparks books (eg. The Notebook, A Walk to Remember, Message in A Bottle), anything to do with sports esp. Da Cubs!! my favorite team! I like youth group and Jesus related stuff too.
Hanging out with friends/family. Doing random things on the computer.

Interesting list of hobbies, Rosel!

What sort of places have you travelled to?

Do you have any favourite radio stations that you like to listen to? I have a DAB radio, so for music I tend to listen to 6music and XFM, with a bit of Radio 3 / Classic FM if I'm wanting to chill out. For news and entertainment I listen to Radio 4, the World Service and BBC7, although the programming of these is a bit hit and miss.

For Christmas I bought my Mum the audio book version of Alan Bennett's Untold Stories, which she loves.

[Rosel]

mostly just Germany and France, but Hong Kong a couple of time and plands for scandinavia, America and Canada some time tin the near future.
On the radio i generally listen to Four and Seven, occasionally classic FM if i'm reading. I also like CBC Radio 1 which is a canadian R4 style station.

I'm getting a digital radio soon, I hope it works.

[Daniel]

I like Digital Radio, Louise. It depends what sort of programmes you like, but for speech there's Radio 4, BBC 7, World Service, 5 Live in decent quality, and the odd other thing. Lots of music choice, although I tend to stick to largely the same few.

I like reading philosophical books, working out (im kind of a meathead), I cant get enough of the outdoors such as hunting, hiking, camping. i also love writing but find it hard to actually have a good piece of writing because i cannot express my ideas well (whether on paper or verbally)

[Creative]

I like reading, going on the internet and watching tv. That's mostly all I do in the house.
Outside the house I have more intersting things to do!

I am really into lava lamps at the minuet - colecting them, remaking / reparing, comuacting on oozing goo with other lava enthusiasts.
I also like doing some DIY and gardening etc
I was studding lighing programing at collage and working in the entertainment as a lighting technichan and / or crew, about a year ago thats where most of my time was. - I will get back into the industury at some time in the future.
So I guess my other main intrest is lighting for stage and events etc.
