Anonymous Source Posts: 8 Joined: 8 Nov 2007 | I'm an avid trumpeter, love Star Wars with an unhealthy passion, reading mostly sci-fi (about evenly spread between classics and new stuff), watching movies, directing movies, juggling :D, and possibly my favourite debating. I find it fascinating how diverse people are connected so tightly by a single element like video games. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1710 Joined: 2 Jan 2008 | I enjoy making highly intricate presentations on MS Power Point. You may laugh, but you would be surprised what someone with a holiday weekend and no place to go can accomplish with custom animation and autoshapes. Me and my mates play some pretty hardcore games of Ultimate Frisbee. You may laugh, but these games are just as intense (perhaps more intense) as any football match. Plus, it's the only "sport" I don't suck muffins at. I do some PbP Roleplaying on a Star Wars message board. You may laugh, but... well, you probably have the right to. |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 3368 Joined: 23 Oct 2007 | Reading - I'm a voracious reader, when I have the time, devouring good stories of many genres, with a massive interest in automotive (anything from Jeremy Clarkson to full car mechanic textbooks), military or computing non-fiction. Writing - I'm a writer of varying quality - some of my military and dystopian stories aren't bad (I've a mind to get a couple of them published at some time), while my science fiction stories are pure bilge - and occasionally, I'll find that I have the urge to push out several thousand words. I tend towards the verbose - average short story lengths of about three thousand words, average chapter lengths for the novellas/novels of about five thousand words. Computer Programming: I don't really know that much about the area, only knowing BASIC well enough to write anything of use, but I'm trying to learn C/C++. I'll also be trying to learn Python as well soon. Political Discussion: I'm not going to elaborate right now. Some that will hopefully be big hobbies of the future: Driving: As mentioned above, I have a huge interest in cars. Hopefully, I'll be able to afford a good set of cars in the future and I'll be taking them out for occasional thrashes at circuit events. Flying: I also want to own an aeroplane when I'm older (ambitious, no?). A Cessna 172/182 would serve me well. Even if I can't afford the aeroplane, I still want to learn how to fly. |

Press Junketeer Posts: 459 Joined: 21 Nov 2007 | Free time? What's that? Most of my hobbies are in the "I have to get back into them" phase at the moment. I used to be into origami, paintball, reading books/comics, graphic design, and taking hikes with my dog but those have mostly been abandoned in the last couple years. About all I do these days is work, do homework, go to class, play some CS, and read. After daylight savings time I'll take the dog out for hikes/running around the park but I don't see me picking up any of the rest any time in the next five years... |
