unusual hobbies
Anyone have any out of the ordinary hobbies? I say (type?) this as I look up from writing a passage from Mary Stewart's Arthur series on a pair of jeans. One of my weirder hobbies is what I alternately call 'mutilating' or 'editing' my clothes. Make of that what you will.

My hobby is mocking stupid people like you. Now why don't you...
Not really. Ok, yes, really. but not completely. Oh, nevermind.

Hey that sounds really fun. I am too impatient to embroider much though. I can't say I've written on my pants (much) but I write on my shoes a lot. Right now they say "resist authority" and some other things, plus their names, Shadowfax and Arod. Ok now I am a really screwed up person so I know I have a ton of weird hobbies but I can't think of any right now.

Artistic pleasures
My daughter writes on her expensive tennis shoes, and it makes me mad! (I pay for them!) The embroidery looks good! (unlike ballpoint pen on shoes! ) I did very small letters around the hems. I'm not a big time seamtress, I just made the letters using straight stiches, which made the round letters like "G" and "O" look like runes! Fun!

That's cool. I don't think I have any "unusual" hobbies, though. Well none that I can think of right now anyways.

I think one a lot of us share is hitting our heads with 2x2s. I have the hobby of collecting empty cds and selling them as mirrors.

My unusual hobby? Scaring people. My next plan is to take the cheap ring I got from a Frodo bookmark, put it on a chain, then go up to strangers saying one of two things at "Two Towers"
1:"Will YOU take the Ring to Mordor?" or 2: "Look, I'm invisible, I'm not. I'm invisible, I'm not!"(While taking ring on and off finger) *grins while hitting head with 2x2.* My other 'unusual' hobby, though I don't think it so, is spenind all my time working on me fanfic, or my characters. |

I write fan fiction. To be more precise, one long multi-chaptered continuing fanfic. Scary.
I also play mallet percussion: bells, chimes, marimba, xylophone, etc. I've never written on my clothes, but sometimes when I'm bored I write on my hand. Does that count as a hobby? To top it off, I've also been idly creating my own mythology and corresponding universe for no specific reason. Not that I've put a lot of effort into it, but it exists nonetheless. While I probably got the whole universe-creating idea from Tolkien, I haven't ripped him off too severely. No elves or dwarves... instead I've got a few different levels of gods (from the caretaker "Renri" to God Herself), some fun disembodied spirits, and the Sinke, these freaky pale-skinned things with no irises or pupils. Yes, I have a bizarre imagination.
