Hey,fellows! I happen to be on Ironworks right now because I'm kinda bored. Anyways, what are your favourite things to do that don't involve computers?

Mine are reading books of almost any kind(fantasy,horror,science fiction,joke books, non-fiction,etc.). I have so many books that I can't even fit all of them on my shelves. I even sold dozens of my books at a garage sale a few yeas ago. To be honest I like reading books even more than I like computer games. But I have no plans to be a writer.

Watching T.V. is also a hobbie.

for me, reading, writing, watching movies, or tv. Going to Walmart is a hobby, right? making dream cathcers, and playing with my kids

Playing basketball is my all time favorite thing to do.

Hmmm are you assuming that computer activities are our favourite? Cos that's wrong! Computer activities are my least favourite hobby which I only do when I really don't have the opportunity or energy to do something else. My fav. activity is badminton followed by shorinji kempo and then probably clubbing with friends. Then a load of other things, then computer games.

Biking, Lifting weights, Reading, Thinking, checking out that cute girl that turned her head as I walked by :D , etc., etc., etc.

P.S. I got a really nice pic of that girl that actually liked me. You know, the one I mentioned oh around August. But I don't know how she'd feel about having her face stuck on the web.

So she liked you? Have you done anything about it yet or don't you like her or are you waiting for Christmas? :D If she's fit I'm sure she wouldn't mind her face stuck on the web, and nor would any of the guys on here :D

I'm not talking about that girl I wasn't sure about. I'm talking about a girl who was blatantly, obviously, undeniably attracted to me. She unfortunately decided against pursuing a serious relationship with me under the fear that it may get a little too "hot and heavy". I personally think I have more will power than that, but I've found it's better not to push such issues.

P.S. if we're gonna keep following this conversation, lets take it to the Cafe lest they accuse us of hijacking the threads original topic.

Reading used to my favourite pastime... until I got BG2 [img]tongue.gif[/img] That triggered off a craze for specific computer games (SOA, TOB, The Longest Journey, Syberia, Legendary Swordsman 2, Warcraft 3, IWD2, NWN) before I decided to pace myself and not wear my eyes out so intensively.

These days, I am reading a bit more, but also watching/rewatching VCDs and DVDs. I also daydream a fair bit, especially about my PnP characters :D I really ought to do more writing too... one of my favourite pastimes in the past [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Elif Godson 11-24-2003 09:40 AM

does Dwarf tossing count ? [img]graemlins/showoff.gif[/img] j/k

I have none anymore, when my children get a little bit older I may revisit some of my old pastimes, like judo and what have you but right now, my hobbie is being a Dad [img]smile.gif[/img]

dplax 11-24-2003 12:52 PM

Probably squash would be my most favourite non computer hobby.

ZaRos 11-24-2003 09:56 PM

Drinking beer with friends (mostly a weekend activity), playing the guitar, playing basketball and finally studying economics.

Loudhy 11-25-2003 04:49 AM

Playing badminton, reading books ( fantasy, scifi ) and drinking beer with friends in a pub.

Gnarf 11-25-2003 09:29 AM

Reading, drawing and snowboarding, combined with listening to music if possible.

Luvian 11-25-2003 09:40 AM

I used to read and write a lot, but since I got a computer I spend most of my time on it.

Now when I'm not on my computer, I like to go watch movies and read books.

Timber Loftis 11-25-2003 10:23 AM

Working out/ running, playing PnP D&D, painting miniatures, movies, drinking/dancing/partying. Used to hike all the time, but this f***ing concrete jungle has had me trapped for 2 years without one good hike. *grumble*
