What are hobbies you enjoy to do outside of RP?

Dance. When I'm doing "serious art," I belly dance. But I also take 1 - 3 Zumba classes a week just for fun.

Programming. I uh. I make stuff for the RPR with 90% of my free time. But I also make little gadgets to help me remember things and automate things and little bitty games.

Reading is my fallback when I'm too tired to create code or choreography of my own. I'm allllmost done with the GoT series right now.

I do a lot of drawing things. o: I also do a lot of game things. On the rare occasion, I do some voice acting things.

I also like to dance. u 3 u I have to get more onto that these days since I've been drawing more. I've really only had time for stretching between commissions and art obligations. But now that everything has been freed up for me, I'm looking forward to dancing while letting my Zombies! Run! app on my phone going. :'D

I like watching anime and reading manga.

I also like chatting with people.

I'm a big car guy - I'm restoring a 1985 Datsun/Nissan for fun, and have a huge collection of odds, ends, and parts. Hopefully I'll have that off the ground in the next two years or so (there's just a lot to do).

I also enjoy building and fabricating things: a lot of it is learned by necessity but I've helped build patio decks, put up fences in the summer time, install sump pumps in friends rural houses, make chairs or tables out of spare car stuff like engine blocks or wheels. Stuff like that. It's very soothing and allows me to zone out & relax.

My latest jaunt of finding stuff to do has me adventuring back into the world of computers, which I'm very familiar with: I have a raspberry pi - a little computer the size of a credit card - project which is nearing completion that should be done in the next week or two if time allows it.

I draw a lot whenever I feel the urge to pick up a pencil a good majority of the time.

But other times when I pick up a pencil, it's to write. I love writing, especially with others on RPR. Gaining a better sense of what I'm doing with my characters via RP helps get the juices flowing in my own stories.

Uhm, what else.... I'm a chef of sorts. I love making homemade meals, and it does show... *blushes*

Reading is another thing I love, and so is video games. Gaming wise, I'm currently doing a run of Final Fantasy 7 and 8 on my PSP.

Reading wise, I'm saving up cash (slowly) to buy Anne Rice's "The Tale of the Body Thief" and "Memnoch the Devil." The Vampire Chronicles has been a guilty pleasure of sorts since I'm usually a romance and erotica junkie.

Let's see.... What else? I think that's it.

Because I'm a bit introverted IRL, being social isn't exactly my strong suit. I tend to just make videos for YouTube, play video games, and write fantasy stories in my free time. I guess you can say I embrace the loneliness and just do things on my own.

I have a big passion for dancing, and I have tried multiple styles. For the last couple of years, I've been doing belly dance, but I'd really like to pick up ballet some time soon

I have also been doing some volunteer work with refugees, but that's on hold for now because I've been dealing with stress a lot lately, and had to cut down on some things. I'm getting better now, and I'm starting to pick up drawing a little(I'm super rusty, and not very good), then I color adult coloring books - currently GoT and Cats!
I also enjoy reading and I read a lot of books. Which is part of my job, also, since I work at the local bookstore and need to inform customers about the books.

I love things like this! It's awesome seeing who people are and what they enjoy doing outside of rping.

I'm including pictures, because taking a bajillion pics (to the point where it's almost obnoxious) is one of my hobbies!
My favorite thing is to get outdoors. I absolutely adore hiking and the rush that comes from reaching the top of a mountain that looked so intimidating from the bottom. I also own a pair of kayaks, as well as a popup trailer and lot of camping gear. And, of course, it wouldn't be an adventure without the love of my life Anna and our canine hiking buddies!

I love seeing what everyone else does! I've been extremely lucky that my hobby has slowly become my job. I currently work horses for people in exchange for showing them. I usually ride 3ish horses a day and stay at the barn for hours. Hopefully by the end of summer I'll have more on my list. Outside of that, I spend a lot of time reading.

Reading novels, watching anime, exploring TV Tropes, and riding my bike. I'm not very artistic so I just want to see creativity and be inspired by it.

Video games, watch tv, Draw, shooting range(rare), paintball, annoy my sister during her livestreams, hang with the crew, etc.

Sums it bout up

Mainly reading, a lot of reading. I also play videogames on my PS3, Xbox 360, PC, and more recently my 3ds. I'm working on finally completing a game (besides MC) since I've never sat and beat a game before (I'm a game jumper).

As for other hobbies, next school year I'ma take up robotics and seaperch at school and see how I like that.

[EDIT:] Oh, and I also watch a lot of anime and crime shows.

I love dance, definitely a big favorite! Bellydance, contemporary and general zumba for fun. Then there's anime, comic book conventions, attending Larps of the zombie persuasion. Photography is a big passion when I'm able, and I seriously enjoy dreamweaving on Furcadia, too.

Hold on hold on HOLD ON! Furcadia is still a thing? When I made an account it was pretty dead.

Yeah! I think most people tend to be in furn or dreams in imag <:

- Gaming (Warframe and WoW)
- LARP
- Freelance modelling
- Writing
- Ghost-Writing
- Voluntary Editing

I have some war hammer 40k miniatures. I plan to paint them. I have successfully painted one... That was like almost two years ago. My paints are all bad now, and require replacements. Then.... Then I shall paint the rest.

I also have tiny humans. One of my favorite hobbies is called "get the tiny human to be quiet, then worry it is too quiet, and may have died."

I also enjoy this game where my wife tells me she is hungry, and I have to guess what she wants.

A great deal of writing and playing Dragon Age. Also a lot of reading. That's pretty much it.

My latest 'hobby' that I've gotten into is gaming. I recently got an Xbox One, and I enjoy gaming on it while doing a party chat with friends. I'm constantly meeting new people, because those friends invite their friends into the party chat, and we all have a great time! We'll get together and play custom Halo games or do missions on Warframe, and it's a blast! I enjoy it a lot because I still get to be social (I don't have any friends my age that live in my area).
