Uncommon Hobby

[Sabrestar]

I watch old game shows on Youtube. Odd pastime of mine that actually occupied much of my time this past long weekend. I even have a bunch of game show themes on my iPod.

 

[Rayne870]

I handcraft Native American style bows.

That is really awesome.

 

[Arcane Snowman]

I firetwirl and used to fence, both sport and "archaic", (although I moved just recently, and with am a bit of a couch potato, I haven't gotten around to finding a new place to fence.)

 

[SenorNemo]

I design and build lego models. I have a very large collection back at home, but unfortunately, there's not really any room for lego in my dorm room, and I haven't really had time to build in a while. A shame really.

Heh, me too. I've got an almost finished and damn big battlecruiser standing around because all of my stuff is now at my grandparents' house which is a 4 hours drive away so I don't get to build very often.
Aw well, I've got Minecraft to make up for it at least...

And in the future I might have to add "paramedic" to my hobbies seeing as I won't have the time to do it full-time once uni starts in septembre. I hope that hobby's uncommon enough for your needs.

Do you have a flickr account? If you're who I think you are, believe I may already know you (online at least).

 

[MasterMuffinMan]

I'm a LARPer. I spend my Sunday afternoons covered in fur and face paint running around with a foam sword. This is proper European LARP, mind you, none of the North American boffer weaponry.

 

[Amethyst Wind]

I cook extraordinary dishes from ordinary ingredients.

Think you could rustle me up some tasty recipes using common Chinese ingredients?

I'm gonna be out here a while and want to raise my cuisine stat.

On topic:

I don't play Yugioh competitively anymore, but I still love creating decks for it.

I'm even looking into the possibility of becoming an actual card designer.

Basically what I do is open my cupboard and chuck a few things together, sometimes they're fantastic others time they're eh, sadly, my location doesn't give me easy access to exotics.

Alright try this, thick egg noodles, stir-fry beef, spare rib sauce, steam some veggies, cook the noodles until soft, cook the beef, add sauce, veggies and noodles into a fry-pan or wok, mix and serve.

If I could get to my fridge, (Which I can't because I'm supposed to be in bed), I can suggest you this fantastic rib sauce that doubles as a stir-fry sauce.

*Wistful sigh* Ohhh, beef.

That sounds really good, but it ain't easy to get beef around these parts unfortunately. I'll try subbing in some chicken (I know where to get great chicken).

Thanks dude.

I'd be wary trying rib sauce with chicken... Never done it myself but you could try Lamb?

Chicken done with peanut-butter satay (Not exactly original), is pretty good.

 

[Ampersand]

I've got a few, I'm a juggler, an archer, a martial artist as well as a really terrible acrobat.

 

[DSK-]

I handcraft Native American style bows.

That is cool

OP: I beachcast - or go sea fishing, usually with my dad and some of his friends. It's a nice feeling catching a fish and returning it to the sea.

We used to take out boat out but we had to sell it due to financial problems when my mum had her stroke last year. They were fun times.

 

[Jonluw]

I handcraft Native American style bows.

Now I'm beginning to wonder if the supposed longbow I made a few years back was actually a NA style bow... Rectangular cross section, tapering from the handle to the tip.
I never got around to finishing it; and when I try to draw it these days it sounds like it's cracking.

I used to do some archery, but haven't really been doing that much lately.

 

[8-Bit Grin]

I collect pulp/cheesy dime novels.

I have around 800, from original Conan to Jesse James westerns.

 

[GamemasterAnthony]

I am a fanfiction author. Back in 2001, I wrote my first fic, "Heroes of Arcadia - The Gamemaster's Legacy", and it blew up into a popular fanfiction series. So popular, in fact, that I recently got Troped for my fanfiction even though I haven't written anything new in around four years.

I am currently working on a reboot of my series and hope to post my first fic of the reboot soon. That is, if I can stop being distracted. *COUGH*Maplestory*COUGH*Escapist*COUGH*

 

[RoBi3.0]

I started doing Archery last year though it is not uncommon where I live. In rural Ohio a crazy amount of people bow hunt.

 

[RoBi3.0]

I handcraft Native American style bows.

Oh hell, I want one.

 

[DuctTapeJedi]

I make stuff out of duct tape.

And not the standard wallets, either (though I do make them as gifts for people), I've made Stephen Colbert, The Monarch, and Darth Vader.

 

[Wintermoot]

I build Gundam/mech model kits (I sometimes paint them)

 

[elbrandino]

I havea less-common hobby for an antipodean Uni student.
I fence.

I also fence. Not common at all here in California, where I live at least.

 

[SilentCom]

I do a little parkour every now and then which isn't a very common thing where I live.

 

[Lilani]

I've tried my hand at a bit of amateur voice acting, through a web site called Voice Acting Alliance. Though I started last fall, I have no works to present yet, but I'm getting close. I have gotten accepted into two projects so far, one which I just submitted my lines for the first episode last week, and another which the creator hasn't gotten to me yet since it has a LOT of characters.

Most of the projects available there are fandubs and radio plays. The first project I mentioned was a Fullmetal Alchemist fandub, which I got the part of a female extra. The second project was a fandub for the video game Fire Emblem. I actually got the parts of four characters out of six I auditioned for, so I'm interested to see how it turns out, lol.

I do want to audition more soon, but shit's getting serious in school right now and I don't want to get myself wrapped up into more I can handle.

 

[leady129]

Hmm. I practice contortion. Backbending mostly. It would be fair to say that this is a far from common thing around here.
