I think you can tell if someone's a writer by the dead panned looks on their faces as you're talking to them.

I asked Adele that exact same question the other day :P

Marni (wonderwmn999) For fun....I love movies and music. With 4 kids, 3 at home and working FT, I don't gave much me time. There was a time, before kids, that I spent most of my nights clubbing. I loved to dance!

Movies and music sound good to me! And 4 kids add plenty of fun too :)

I have a few series I watch regularly and I like movies and music. I also own 6 horses and have ridden since I was in diapers."


Wow, 6 horses, that's amazing!! That just made me think of The Scorpio Races, one of my favorite books!

Ooh I wish I knew how to ride horses and some of my own - such powerful majestic beings they are :)

Is it hard to learn to ride when you're older?

My hubby and I love to camp and spend our summers doing that. We are also classic car freaks and got to car shows. It's all about spending time with family and friends. "

message 63: by Allie (new)

Allie | 224 comments I like cleaning, which sounds weird but I'm OCD so I clean constantly.. I'm a little weird but yeah.


Alana ~ The Book Pimp (loonyalana) | 295 comments All you OCD ppl stay away from my house if you value your sanity and time. I think my home is an OCD's nightmare.


message 65: by Allie (new)

Allie | 224 comments I like spaz out when I walk into my sister's room to get something because her room is my nightmare.. I tend not to go in their too often... :)


Jeann (Happy Indulgence)  (happyindulgence) | 258 comments Lol I have an OCD workmate which is great, because every once in a while she comes and cleans my desk :)

message 69: by Ruby (new)

Ruby Black (ruby_black) I like to dabble in art & photography (total amateur); if interested, you can check out some of my stuff here.

Getting lost in the city (any city really) is another fav of mine. It gives me a chance to do some metropolitan exploration (past explorations have led to discoveries of great obscure bookstores, cafes, secret city alcoves, etc).

About 2 blocks away from downtown (uhm...yea...I'm a total city girl), there is a "mountain" (geographically speaking, it is a 800 ft tall hill - not exactly Everest) that I love to climb everyday year-round (yes, even in the wintery days when we get 6 ft of snow ;)

Astronomy kind of stuck with me since I was 6 (FYI: nerdom is the new "it" trend ;). I find galaxies, blackholes, and all that space stuff really mesmerizing. Was pretty damn serious about wanting to work for NASA as an astrophysicist astronaut for many years, then reality struck (such lofty dreams - got too many of those).

To put my two cents in for film, while I love too many films to list, I completely dig film noir (Sunset Boulevard is a must see). For TV, ...hmm...haven't watched too much in awhile (too busy reading lol), but I'm really liking Person of Interest - Michael Emerson rocks!

Crazy-person dancing (I'm picturing Merideth and Yang from Grey's Anatomy) is one of my favorite things to do too!

Lola (lolasreviews) | 563 comments Besides reading I also love gaming, walking outside and playing D&D with a group of friends. Though in comparison with reading, those are all minor hobbies :P.

We've competed in a few competitions but we mostly go and watch (which includes screaming and yelling with everyone else on the sidelines :) ).
They're a lot of fun, even to just go watch.

Gabriela | 221 comments Going to the movies with my boys (no chick flicks, they out vote me everytime), Watching TV(Walking Dead, Revenge & Once Upon a Time), reading books (ebooks, paperbacks, hardcovers), cooking(love to crank up the IPOD and try new recipes; give them my own twist ;) ), Zumba, listening to music (fan of practically everything except maybe Polkas or anything Polka-like), and last but not least GR.


message 84: by Jonel (new)

Jonel I assume that we are talking other than reading here (yup, self-proclaimed bibliophile extrordinaire here). I love taking my dogs out to play in the snow. One has learned how to toss snow up in the air so that she can chase it. I also love to go and ride my horse. Oh, and wandering around a bookstore with a coffee, always a great way to relax.

They are... Most of the time anyways. When they wrestle their way across the livingroom it can be a bit chaotic. But you can't help but love them. :D

message 95: by Sherrie (new)

Sherrie | 1212 comments I enjoy spending time with my husband and kids. We have two children ages 14 and 12 so I like going to their sporting events or school activities. I also love to read, go to the beach and go shopping.

message 98: by Bethany (new)

Bethany | 171 comments Um, for fun. Obviously reading...does anyone really need to mention that one? I am not much of a tv watcher, but my husband and I watch a lot of movies. That kinda our thing. We have a very large, very awesome movie collection. Besides that, with having small children (3 and 6) a large amount of time is devoted to hanging out at parks and with my other friends who have kids. But at the moment, I live in Mexico, so fun also consists of going to the beach and swimming at pools.


message 99: by Brandy (new)

Brandy Nacole (brandynacole) Here's a recently added for fun thing I've added to my list: boxing.
I've done Zumba and teach an expressive dance team BUT I needed something new to get me moving and take the edge off my day. Boxing does it! So much fun :)


message 100: by tcb4ts (new)

tcb4ts | 12 comments Well, for fun.... Idk hahah I usually just walk down to the park with friends, go swimming in the river. Going to friends places is always fun. Lately I've been going to the movies/mall with my friend, even though we don't have much money to spend we always have fun there. Haha we ran across the highway once with bubble wands, it was so funny!! XD
