What non internet/PC related activites do you enjoy?

[TheLaughingMan]

For about a month I am going to be without the net (just when i was starting to regularly post and DL anime like mad). I was just thinking about what i could be doing besides being on the pc. So what do you do with your other free time (what hobbies)? Do people even do anything else anymore?

I guess there are always long and annoying console games... *Goes off to look for Mario Sunshine*

[mantidor]

mario sunshine is a great game! is far from being annoying...

I don't do anything else, maybe origami, you can find models on the internet...duh, sorry.

[JAppi]

LMFAO me, do something other than waste my entire life away on a computer? What the hell are you thinking?

Oh ya, I think I phoned Gwavie once. Although I was still sitting in front of the computer, does that count?

[Taboo]

Uhm..... ....Anime on DVD! Theres always storebought manga too. I also enjoy reading fantasy, cars stuff, music, and, of course, shopping when I have tons of money to blow. Since spring has come, I have been outside tending to my flower garden a lot. [proud] I can't believe how beautiful the roses have turned out. ^_^ [/proud] I enjoy regular movies and have become somewhat of an entertainment system enthusiast. Seems like there should be a lot more than that. I will edit if I remember anything else.

Note: This isn't meant to be some noob thread about me or anything, just interested in what people do besides the PC.

Manga, good idea!

Not many physical people...
I enjoy...
Swimming: This is done at a friend's. We have lots and lots of fun daring each other on the diving board, along w/ wresting poolside...
Paintballing: Wonderful stuff. I want to see some CS players do this... lol. My friends and I used to go regularly. We're looking for a new field now...
Working out: Gotta keep in shape. Every day, I alternate between cardio and calisthenics.
Hanging w/ Friends: Nothing is funner. Let's see how many we can fit in an '87 Toyota Corolla [I belive it was 8]. I also play D&D and other RPGs with this group. We do the weirdest things, like play croquet, boche, a variant of Cowboys & Indians, airsoft w/ spring pistols, etc.

Lawn work/gardening can be more trying than a lot may think. Theres mowing, pulling weeds (steadily *sigh*), digging and such in the hot and humid (least in Oklahoma) summer days. There's also a lot of up and down, sqatting and such. That being said, I still feel like I am taking better care of myself after an actual work out. I work out consistently too, but thats more of a way of life than a hobby for me. That being said, I think tennis and golf would be great fun and a good way to keep in shape, but I am too much of a loner for that.

[Scrumhalf]

I love sports & workout.

I play & follow rugby. Other sports I enjoy following are; football (soccer), cricket, & tennis.

Drag-racing is another 'hobby' I'm quite addicted in. Do it every weekend at midnight with a couple of mates; racing each other along freeways with my lancer & Eurobeat Initial D music pumped up

[Mr_Paper]

Hmm... What do I do that doesn't involve a computer...

- Definitely not work (9+ hours in front of a PC)

Let's see. I go paintballing and help coach a local T-ball league during the summer months, cycling or running depending on the weather, work at my garden while its in season (attempting to cure a black thumb) and goof around with the neighborhood kids. I also read, read some more, listen to music and sleep.

I try to keep busy. ^^;

Taboo: I know. I was refering to the others before me.
If you need a hobby, try paintball! Fun stuff, really good workout. Expensive hobby to maintain, though.
Scrumhalf: That Eurobeat music is such fun to drive to... I have all 5 discs. Good stuff.

[cdpinoyx01]

How bout another messfree alternative to paintball, Airsofting is fun :P

Other fun things to do: Basketball, baseball, <= watching these live are great too

video games.....

driving >< i need insurance ;-;.....,

Martial Arts is fun also .... kenpo/escrima is great.

Bleh... just go outside or somewhere and enjoy yourselves.

[Slade xTekno]

AHH!!!!
I forgot to mention martial arts...
I self-study, since all the Karate and TaeKwonDo schools I went to really didn't teach self-defense. I occasionally accompany my friend to his Karate class to spar w/ his classmates... fun stuff.
I self-study Jeet-Kune-Do at the moment, w/ past experience in Karate, TaeKwonDo, Hapkido, and TaiChi. I hope soon to add Muay Thai kickboxing and PiQuaChuan to my reportoire.

[Dopeskills]

I enjoy:

staring at myslef in the mirror...
(well, that's about it)

Most of my summer will be spent waterskiing or wakeboarding.

[Necrodeath]

Ummm...
Don't ppl have friends? I haven't heard anyone saying that they hang out with friends except for Slade xTekno. You could also try some Single Player **Shudder** games for the pc. Anyway, what I do most of the time when I'm not behind my computer is playing on my GC with (at least) 3 friends, or just hang out with a couple of friends somewhere in the city. If for some reason all of my friends are busy, well, I just go to the cool places in the city and make some new friends!
If you haven't noticed yet, friends rule.

[Dopeskills]

Yeah, but what exactly do you do with your friends?

I didn't even mention it because i live with most of my friends on campus and they're basically always around. Anyways, I've been goin to the beach inbetween classes now that it's warm out. (That's always fun, especially when you got a group of people)

Back in high school, our record was eleven people in my old '89 Honda Civic! Three in the front, six in the back, and two in the trunk. Well, it may have been four in the front and five in the back… but there was definitely two in the trunk.

I like a lot of nonfiction reading, especially science. Console games. Manga. Movies on weekends. I also like 9-ball (billiards) but don't really play it often enough to be considered a hobby. And I like taking apart electronics and putting them back together. Broken many stuff. *proud*

I really want to get into martial arts. I'm pretty interested in learning kung-fu. And Kendo is something I want to, at the very least, try.

[Kimura-sensei]

Woah, what? There's a whole world beyond my computer room?

[Wandering_Youth]

Cook and baking, whenever I'm feeling creative I try to make my own cakes, cookies and beverages. I've haven't had much luck with cooking dishes because my fridge has very limit produce.

[Prince of Chronics]

I enjoy sleeping... it is my second most favorite thing to do....
