Well? What's yours.. (also I'm surprised this hasn't been started already!)


Mise:
Photography is my big thing for hobbies.. clickeh mah sig for pics
I'm also fairly mad into PC gaming and anything tech.. I R TEH 1337 P\/\/Nz0r

Sports-wise, I do Taekwon-do (ITF) [1 year so far] and did Karate for about 7 years.
Loved the bit of surfing I did in TY, so when I'm out of the midlands, thats being learned properly. So is snowsports \o/
Also do some parkour..

rhapsody!

If you're trying to confuse me by using 1337 it's not working xD besides I don't use that I just talk sh!te.

Used to do Taekwondo, started when I was about 10, got as far as yellah. Stopped. Went back aboiut three years ago got as far as green. Haven't gone in a while. Very off and on again sort of thing going on. xD TTA ftw.

Others include reading, scaring chavs, terrorising the general public, being loud in general, being told to shut up on the bus is also fun! Jones is also a hobby of mine. xD Eating excessive amounts of sugahhh. Staying up late. Danger Diaries LOLOL. Anything computery. I miss the sims but duty calls, ie if I had the sims I would epic fail teh leaving certz. I love sketching, photography (don't get me started on manual and auto because i don't get it so shut up kthx), music, swimming, dangerous activities, outdoor activities, would love to go bungee jumping orrrr skydiving or white water rafting or anything like that. Love animals, we have many pets here. :P I love buying things but generally not for me, I happen to be very giving thank you very much xD

So many others.. when I remember I'll edit. :P

--

editing already... into Webdesign aswell. Taught myself Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and Hyper Text Preprocessor (PHP), mostly PHP includes though. Started my first website when I was nine and progressed throughout the years. Haven't updated my site in a while though, fair to say it's kinda dead. :P

Jaysus, not everything is about you missus!

Wimmin!:pac::rolleyes:

Lmao.
ooooooooh we ARE proud. xD

Anyway.. ontopicism..

travelling, i love going on trains or planes, dunno why. Most of my friends fear/hate flying. As my dad says, it's not the flying they're afraid of, it's the crashing. pmsl.

Crumble Froo

as a teen, i was into bodyboarding in the summer, kickboxing, camogie, and playing bass.

now i play bass occasionally, and dedicate most of the rest of my time to surfing.

Piste

I play the violin, piano and I sing. Sports can fo, I don't like them!

Mushy

Gaelic Football would be my main sport to play, at an official level. But play soccer aswell the odd time.

As for hobbies, well its mainly about the music. Play drums a bit, listen to hours of music daily. Football Manager is another great hobby:D

Bobalicious93

Was on a football team for about 7-8 years and I've been drumming for about 6 months now, and I like to think I'm pretty good considering how long I've been playing

lmfao.
no what he meant is they're afraid of the possibility of crashing..

go back to Spartaaaaa.

Cycling?

Damn suspension nearly KILLED me once. I was warned beforehand though not to pull both brakes.. but a dog jumped out of the ditch on a bend and snap, suspension kicked in, bike bounced, I flew. I actually FLEW over the handlebars. Banged my head off the road, my hands were in shreds xD Luckily I was wearing a helmet at the time or I probably would have been comatose for a long time. Perhaps dead. :P

Nah, Unlikely, as I'm not dead And I hit my head off concrete steps when I went over the handlebars.(took a small chunk out of them too) - Only got a fractured skull, jaw, and lots of pain...

rhapsody!

I was going downhill very very very fast, sharp bend, stupid dog, hit the road exceptionally hard, couldn't breath for what seemed like forever. Could very well have DIED! well probably not but I would have been fairly concussed. xD
Do you think this is some sort of death competition?
I have a scar where I was bitten ON THE FACE BY A DOG.

Muahahahaha.
lol.

phasers

I'm a bit of a standard nerd tbh, gimme a computer, a TV and some junk food and I'm happy. I considered getting real hobbies but then my WoW tournament started

It wasn't me!

I read and write a good bit. Was keeping a notebook of ideas for a while, but it proved to awkward to always have in a pocket. I also like cooking.

Sportswise, my main one is shooting. Mostly Olympic target rifle, but I also shoot game and any other target disciplines I get a chance to try. I spent years playing rugby in school, but it's been a while at this stage. I like most sports to some extent or other.

I don't do sports much except yoga (which is more of a relaxation activity) and I love reading. And singing in the shower. And terrorizing my brother's cat.

Well for moi it's :

Hobbie's: Making/Editing video's then throwing them up on Youtube (Check my sig if you want to see any of them :pac:)

Sport's: Mad into rugby and doing weights when I have a chance(mostly in the summer)

Sabre0001

Big into video games (and the competitive element to it - my second full time job is the website - sig).

Love sports too (so my passion for the latter element may come into play here) - avid supporter of Munster and Formula 1.

And of course, a fan of music...Tastes seem to change by the day and like finding new bands (although not always that patient to listen to something new if it's on my MP3 player for some reason - as opposed to flicking through related links on YouTube or music channels). Don't get to play my gee-tar anymore though.....need to get back into that!

thusspakeblixa

My (main) hobbies:
-I'm mad into my technology and gadgets. Have nearly every gaming system going, and also have 2 laptops, including one running linux which I adore.
-I've just got a new camera, so photography will be my big thing in the coming months.
-I play the clarinet
-I read and write a lot. This ties in with my college course though as I'm doing Journalism. If you ever meet me in person, it's very likely I'll have a newspaper or magazine with me.
-I watch a lot of football. I mean a LOT. Also, a large amount of my time is spent playing Football Manager. Those who know will know what that means.

Insect Overlord

-Other: like thusspakeblixa, I got a new camera, and should be starting some photography soon

When I'm in University I'll take up more stuff tho.:D

Feel embarresed tbh of my lack of hobbies compared to the rest of you...
Sport is a thing that I never really got in to but I hope that might change this year, if anyone wants to become a partner for this resolution, pm me!
I spend my time thinking of ideas for stuff usually computer related...is that a hobby?
I work a lot too and usually waste my paycheck:(
I do websites but usually lose interest in them after a while and they are left...
Most of my spare time is wasted but gonna change that this year...hopefully

JoeJoe9

Soccer - Striker + Captain for my team (Its a really low level though:rolleyes:)
Gaelic - Currently in a bitta of a tussle for the LCB position (Much much higher level btw)
Have a PS3 but i've kinda gone off it over the last few months (Used to be big into it though)
Go to the Gym a lot as well (Great craic)

Pigwidgeon

it's always stuff like this, and orals in school, that make me realise i have no hobbies...

i don't do any sports, i'm not in any clubs or anything...
bah

cocoa

lol, I never noticed this thread before...

juggling! and things juggling related I love balance arts, unicycle, rola bola, walking globe (I love having one in my kitchen )

When I have time for other stuff (juggling and college, in fact juggling in college, dominate my life) I like reading, reading boards, playing tennis, running (away from people, towards buses, whatever...), ultimate frisbee, rock climbing, snowboarding, minesweeper (should possibly be in the addiction column), computer games and programming.

[pedant]oh and I know it's ages ago, but PHP stands for 'PHP : Hypertext Preprocessor' ! =P [/pedant] yay recursive acronyms

Gavin "shels"

Don't have a huge amount at the moment, but once the oul Leaving Cert is over I'm taking up either Muay Thai/Kick-boxing or I might re-take back up boxing.:cool: Take up a few sports and stuff when I hit college aswell.

Ginja Ninja

the "other" me likes:
the internet boards.ie and youtube

runescape as a member
planeshift
rakion
but i als actually ENJOY school(being a farmer that's really weird)and like to know random tidbits of info (and biology is my s***)
but i never tell anyone cos nearly everyone i know is a narrow minded tool whose only goal is to get wasted when the oppurtunity arises and so the whole "skitzo" effect arises

cautioner

Just noticed I've posted in every thread on the first page of C&H apart from this one. 'm obsessive, the lack of a little arrow beside this one is killing me.

Uh, I like to play the guitar.

Insect Overlord

Guitar is great. I might be recording a song this week!

Excited-ish...

cautioner

Oh, sweet. How'd you manage that? I was supposed to be playing for my singer friend in a talent show last Friday but I had to be in Dublin... Prize is 2 grand and a recording session!
She got through anyway, so maybe she'll want me for the next round.

Insect Overlord

The Live Music Society in college is hoping to put together a CD, I'm trying to worm my way into it

QueenOfLeon

Sports...play badminton all during the year, about 4/5 times a week with weekends away at competitions every few weeks...love it Over for the summer so now its tennis, swimming, walking or my preferred lazing around

Hobbies...play the piano but id love to learn the guitar, usedta be really into reading and any random computer games but with studying all year got outta those habits and havnt got around to any of that stuff again! Spend too much time on the internet now but meh...its fun

Biggest thing gotta be music tho...the radio is on in my room like constantly, when im on the computer ive got music channels on in the background, mp3 (fúckin ancient thing, need to get me an ipod) goes with me everywhere, and i sing when no one can hear me ;)

djcervi

Hobbies: Music, I play a small bit of guitar (ignored it during the LC), language learning (4, so far), World and normal cinema, surfing the net

Sport: Did taekwondo, but gave it up as I wasn't great at it. I swim as well. Also I'm toying with the idea of taking up rugby in college. Although my coordination is bad and haven't succeeded in team sports I don't know whether to take the plunge. It seems like a great sport to play.

I'm also taking up reading and cooking this summer. I'm also supposed to learn to drive.

Nightwish

I've recently taken up photography, which I love. Not very good at it at the moment but learning! I also love camping, hiking and the outdoors in general.

Pygmalion

I spend all my time online, mainly here, cracked.com and digg.

I also can program (mainly C++), but very rarely actually do it, on the off chance I get an idea of something to make I dismiss it as too hard/easy/big/complicated and just come to boards instead.

I don't think there's anything other than that to be honest.
