Hobbies/Sports Other Than Anime?
« on: September 12, 2010, 02:26:55 AM »
Hey guys!  Just as the title says what other hobbies and sports do you guys do other than anime?  I figure I'd ask since it seems like this forum is filled with some very diverse people.  For me it's outdoor rock climbing.  I climb roughly around 5.11s or 6a.  Boulder about V4 range.  Although I think I spend the same amount of time on both climbing and anime (pretty much obsessed on each of them)

Amateur astronomy is my other hobby, if the sky is clear and transparent i’m in the observatory with my 150mm reflector for up to eight hours some nights (9pm to 5am).



^My scope several months ago, it now has dual axis motors and a 7x50 finder.

non-anime related?

I enjoy building computers, reading, playing video/computer games, and wandering around Japan.

I used to play Billard and Darts a lot at the time I worked as a waiter. Aside from reading quite a lot I'm also a passionate writer for nearly 15 years and participate in contests. Unfortunately, my HDD died a couple of days ago and many of my stories with it. I played chess semi-professional when I was a teenager but quit when I had a car accident in December 2000. I'd like to say that I love drawing but since my drawings look as if it was made by a five years old kid I do not consider it drawing. ^^'

Wado-Ryu Karate-Do, it's a mix of shotokan style karate and shorinryu jiu-jitsu, has more locks, throws, manipulation than most karate styles and it has a distinctive "blocking" style. Plus I get to beat up and get beaten up every friday.

Cycling, pretty much my way of moving from A to B, sometimes I do longer trips, longest one was over twelve hundred kilometers.

Underwater Rugby, currently on hiatus due to not finding a good group to play with.

Because we can!

I enjoy drawing a lot but don't really have the time for it, also I sometimes play the piano (I suck though xD). I'm thinking of maybe picking up chess, played it a lot last year on vacation and it is an awesome game if you ask me. Video games are also another interest of mine.

Computers, electronics in general, listening to music, old technology. I have quite a few records and audio tapes and cassettes. I like to borrow records and copy them to cassettes/tapes.

Also, live action TV shows and movies.

I haven't gotten really in to it but I LOVE to go bike riding. I would like to do a bicycle tour one Summer but I want to do a lot of research and have some money in the bank before I do something like that. Maybe get a bike more suitable for riding everyday and stuff. I have a road bike now that I bought last Summer and I am it's baby not the other way around lol.

Mathematics is sort of like a hobby for me. It's my major in school and I find that at least this semester I'm really enjoying the math class that I have.

I've been off and on doing P90X and I just finished day 83 so when I finally finish this thing I want to go back to the gym and do a Starting Strength type workout program for a few weeks then switch it up for a week and then go back to it in a different order or something.

I'm just using this as an excuse to type a lot.

I do like to play games like simple outdoor games like croquet and little things like that. I do that kind of stuff with my parents often when I am living at their house.

That's it.

-Playing video games (Depends on the season. Played FF 13 2 discs straight in summer. For some reason i stopped on 3rd and haven't been able to  continue yet xD)

Edit:
-Reading manga

I practice Magic (Illusions) and piano. My repertoire consists mostly of songs from animes, of which I am quite proud
