What's you hobby/ pass time

gerTheGreat

Was just wondering. I finished college about a month ago and am finding the now free evenings boring. Am used to spending them in college getting work done, and since work doesn't require that, I now have my evenings to myself.

Anyway, back to my little question. What do you do with your free time? Looking for ideas, (nothing that i've come up with myself has caught my imagination).

Thanks,
Ger...

t'internet and television at the same time. it keeps me from losing my marbles through boredom.

plenty of things to do.
take up a sport, join a gym, take up smoking (not recommended), go drinking for a month straight, cycling, learn how to play a musical instrument, get drunk for 2 months straight, art classes, bird watching, get drunk for three months straight, an evening job (delivery for chinese takeaway/ pizza etc.).

Kayaking is a brilliant hobby especialy in hot weather.:)

I want to learn how to knit so bad...but none of my family or friends know how! Was thinking about getting that book "Stitch 'n' Bitch" when I have some spare cash (which so far looks like never, lol).

To the OP:
Reading keeps me sane. And gardening (well, haven't done it in a while, but I love herb gardening), and making things (crafts).

a program such as Virtual DJ or Traktor DJ studio won't set you back that much, and you can always give the demo versions a whirl first to see if it's your type of thing.
you can use that to learn the basics and then can always move onto hardware mixing (be it decks/cdjs or a midi controller) at a later stage.

Me too, gardening is so relaxing. Knitting is great but i'm a lefty and found it hard. If you can get womans own magazine it gives new stitches each week to learn.
