Sooooo... I would like to hear what people do on their spare time for fun or what they would like to be able to do in the future.

My love for singing and playing guitar has been with me for almost 6 years, i've had 3 producer from different studios get me on radio stations where I live and it's probably the most exciting thing ever!

I played piano for like 6 years (don't remember exactly how long), basketball from 5th to 12th grade, football from 10th to 11th, also ran track and field and cross country in high school, and took choir for 3 years in high school, ending with chamber chorale.

Those were my "extracurriculars." After high school I went back to boxing, and have been since last October. All I have time for now is school and boxing during the schoolyear, and right now in the summer I work in the morning till late afternoon and then box until evening.

As for my future aspirations...I'm currently working on a business degree in hopes of using it to help manage or take over my dad's company. But I also want to double major or minor in something related to science, take fundamental courses to go in the medical field. I want to contribute something to science, like participate in research, or even lead my own research and experiments. That one's kind of like my dream.

Talents - Gaining exp

Hobbies - PvM

Extracurricular activities - Player Owned Ports

Nah for cereal though, talents I'm actually quite good with words, and expressing opinions/knowledge in an accessible and informative way.

Hobbies, I play a lot of Xbox, I'm a huge gamer, a big fan of competitive/professional Halo, I watch a lot of streams/events, if I lived in the US where the scene is much bigger I'd probably attend and compete at events. I'm a pretty sick Halo player.

Extra curricular activities, um, I'm back training in the gym now, probably about it.

Arranging some a cappella music, tennis, running (long distance), singing, drinking tea(s)...yeah.

Sport-wise, I suck at anything that doesn't involve a racquet, but I'm a whizz with racquets

Played violin for 7 years and stopped when I was 15

It's not a talent or hobby. It's a way of life.

For a hobby I paint for fun and I sew/design clothes.

I've sewn a purple tuxedo and prom dresses.
Lately a few of my friends got me to do like bridal things.
I've made veils for some of them doing the floral stuff.

I can knit, weave, crochet, quilt or most any textile art.

I have taken classes for fun in most of this and painting.
I only do it for fun and never think about it as a career choice for me.
I have sold a few things but mostly just give as gifts.

Most money I made was from a bridal veil I made.
I paid about $10 for supplies and sold it for $90.

I like film photography and help out sometimes a friend that has a studio.

WG's new slogan: From piano players to porn stars, we have a place for everyone!

Keith · « **Reply #18 on:** July 16, 2013, 10:36:24 pm »

also I run (big surprise)
triathlons
hacky sack
president of a few clubs at my university
i longboard occasionally
I'm all about camping and hiking when i get a chance to do it, feels fantastic to hike a mountain and set up a tent at the top and stay the night (if i can run up it, it's not hiking.)
will update later if i think of anything else

currently interested in learning a martial art, and learning at least one new language.

I bike a shitload, duhh

I'm currently studying for chartered purchasing and supply chain (MCIPS), which takes up a lot of my free time considering I work in purchasing full time. I'm also currently buying a house, which takes up even more!

But, I still do find time to play badminton and football once per week, lift 4 times per week, and go for a run around 3 times per week. I like doing mud runs (ala Tough Mudder (http://toughmudder.com/), which gives me a bit of focus.

I also enjoy spending quality time with the lady friend, and also going for a beer with my friends, and going to small-scale music festivals (although the latter two have dropped in frequency considerably since I started saving for my house!).

I also play a game called RuneScape, which takes up the rest of my time..!

Most sports.

Rockinmage · « **Reply #23 on:** July 18, 2013, 10:44:39 pm »

Mountain biking, road riding, and RC plane flying are my top three hobbies. Was really hoping to get a ride in this evening on my new bike but it's storming bad all around us.

Wayshow · « **Reply #24 on:** July 19, 2013, 04:05:38 pm »

One of my dreams is to learn how to play the piano and play while singing
