  • I draw, paint, write poetry and short stories, play piano/ guitar, want to do photography, and dance someday. Someday. My favorite hobby is Drawing, because I am better at it than the other hobbies.

    What's your hobby/talent? is the question for tonight, and there is no right or wrong answer. It's just for fun :)

    I draw, paint (including a lot of digital design) and bake; and according to my 'husband' and his friends, really, really well.

    I love all of those as well and people say I cook really well to but I don't know about all that laughs

    I'm trying to rediscover myself, I've been sucked up into "the system" and it is damaging my creative soul. :brokenheart:

    Lately my only talent seems to be finding ways to procrastinate at work and somehow managing to dig myself out of holes in time for my boss man to still think I'm worth a damn. :laugh: Learned that trick in business school I guess.


    Heeeyyy, I do that trick too!!!

    Talent & Hobby... I sing. Karaoke - live band - whatever, wherever - LOVE IT!

    Hidden talent that most people don't know - but now it's here for the world to see...

    I can touch my tongue to my nose - without the help of my finger. :devil:
  • I am a professional film critic so I am constantly at theaters. (www.screwtopreviews.wordpress.com) I read alot, mostly classic authors. And I have found that I have a penchant for making papier mache masks for Fasnacht (Swiss/German celebration of the end of Winter)
  • Talent - Music

    Hobbies - too many to list but here are the ones that come to mind: photography, sewing, driving, jogging, animal rescue (which I share with b/f and takes most of our time).

    Hmm, have a few - other than Motorcycling of course (my main passion). Beadwork (normally Native American style), making Hand Drums and occasionally Dream Catchers. I love to sing, Karaoke, church, car. I also seem to always be involved in some sort of group feed/feast. I cook for several large events each year (feeding hundreds sometimes). (cooking relaxes me LOL). And when I have time - reading - historical fiction, fiction, and spirituality.

    My hobby is hiking. I especially love hiking along the coast of California.
    My talent is remembering numbers. I have a weird ability to remember an address or a phone number for days or sometimes weeks even if I've only heard it once. It freaks my husband out.

    I play guitar and write music. I've played guitar since I was 5 years old. I studied with Mel Bay (his studio used to be located about 5 minutes from my house in St. Louis but it closed within the last couple of years), Bobby Caldwell, and Jose Smith.

    I used to be in a band but I've seen over 400 concerts and played probably another 200 and I've lost about 30% of my hearing and have a bad case of tinnitus (ringing in the ears) so I no longer perform.

    I own 6 guitars, a synthesizer and I have a recording studio in my house. There are lots of musicians in my family, including my musical genuis son who plays 5 instruments and has the best ear I've ever encountered (even better than my aunt who had perfect pitch and was a concert pianist).

    I'm an Armenian and am related to Aram Kkatchaturian, a classical composer who wrote a famous piece of classical music called The Sabre Dance (I'm sure each and every one of you has heard it if you've ever watched a cartoon before). Here's a link to it:

    Other than music, I love to read. Typically I read 20th Century American Literature. I read anything by Christopher Moore or Donna Tartt. Kurt Vonnegut is my favorite writer. I also love Patrick Suskind's amazing book Perfume.

    I read a lot of books about evolution, physics, astronomy, politics, and Zen Buddhism.

    AWESOME! I used to rebuild cars with my dad. :) I still help out from time to time. He's working on a custom '66 Nova right now. I also did a lot of the body work on the '91 Cadillac that was in my wedding. :)

    Hobbies: Dungeons & Dragons Online (MMORPG), sudoku puzzles, fanfiction writing (I've been consumed with that since successfully completing National Novel Writing Month in November - 50,000 words in 30 days? Yes I did!), reading fantasy books (George R.R. Martin, Eric Flint, etc.)

    Talents: Crafting, up to and including: jewelry of many varieties, hand-sewing teddy bears, glass etching, basic crochet, and a general bent toward the "DIY" movement.

    Other lesser talents might include: making dirty dishes appear faster than clean ones, chasing bunny rabbits around the house, and playing Legend of Zelda games when I can fit it in.
