message 105: by Carolyn (new)

Carolyn Ann | 9 comments What do I love besides reading? Writing-poetry, fiction. I just started a blog although its incomplete at the moment, not quite sure what I want to do with it yet. I love all the arts and craft hobbies posted above. :) I can crochet but I don't really. My interests kind of vary depending on my mood. I just recently acquired Photoshop. I dabble in photography and really like manipulating photographs-not to make them perfect-but imperfect. I think the flaws of things are the most beautiful. I guess you could say I have a Wabi Sabi way of looking at things. I am interested in History and philosophy. I love Anthropology and Sociology as well. Other cultures are very intriguing to me especially the Japanese, or any Asian culture for that matter. I LOVE anime. :) :) Manga, etc. I can cook if I really want to. I love to find new recipes and cook large dinners or extravagant deserts. I usually do it once though and move on to something new. I have so many things I want to do and learn, I am probably going to end being a professional student.

I love to crochet and do all kinds of needlework! I have to be in the mood for it, but I do love it. I have made several afghan blankets!

message 109: by Matthew (new)

Matthew Collins (mdcollins) | 6 comments I'm from Laconia, NH, but I also have a lot of family living in West Springfield, MA. Have you gone camping in NH? Nothing was better than the Bruins winning it all this year! Definitely disappointed in what the Red Sox are doing lately though.

Perfect list!


message 114: by Sean (new)

Sean (swelsh20) I went to school for film studies, so movies are a big part of my life. Apart from just watching, I write, create animations, and film shorts when I can.

Aside front that, I do some skiing in the winters, golfing in the summers, and a lot of stuff in between.


message 115: by Thalia (new)

Thalia (thaliaanderson) I have something really important to announce!

So a bunch of editors are getting together to hold online bidding, so we can donate all the proceeds to reliable charities, like Make a Wish Foundation, St. Jude Children's hospital, etc. Bidding starts tomorrow for any video that you request, and you can request from over 200 members on the site. There's bound to be someone out there that can make exactly what you're looking for. They'll be videos like I make, with music and character focus and all that, but with such widespread fandoms, that I'm sure there'll be a user for just about anything. I don't know if there's a minimum price, but I think you can bid whatever you want for a request. So if you can spare anything at all please consider making a bid tomorrow or sometime next week. Do it for the kids in Africa, and all these charities that so need some more help than what they're giving.

Spread the word around to everybody you know! Anyone who has ever had a movie, or a book, or a show, or song that has ever touched them, and have wanted that visualized; we can do that! Together, all us editors can do just about anything at all, and it'd be great if some more people signed up!

Thanks guys! (: Here's the link to my profile, in case you want to bid on a video from me!
http://vidders4acause.webs.com/apps/p...

Also, if you've never seen one of my videos, this is the style of editing I am referring to!
Phantom of the Opera: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPbHbo...
The Mortal Instruments: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MdRI9...
Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a66icx...

But I make videos from tons of fandoms, which are listed on the profile link above! I hope you guys can make a small donation, if it's possible!

Thanks!

It's the best! I miraculously transform into a cross-breed of Adele and Aretha Franklin when I start singing in the shower. It's the voice of an ANGEL :p


message 125: by Chelsey (new)

Chelsey (hiddenreader) | 27 comments Along with reading I love to crochet everything from hats to blankets, the only problem with my two hobbies is that it's nearly impossible to do bother at the same time. I've tried and it doesn't work out too well for whatever I'm crocheting.


message 126: by Meagan (new)

Meagan What are my hobbies?

message 127: by Dennis (last edited Dec 20, 2011 01:54PM) (new)

Dennis | 17 comments Hobbies? Well aside from reading...

I'm an avid sports fan (Red Sox, Bruins, Patriots and Celtics) and also a high school basketball referee for both boys and girls in the Pittsburgh area.

I've been told I'm a pretty good cook. I make a mean chili!!

message 129: by Nicolette (new)

Nicolette (cocopuff09120) | 68 comments Oh my, hobbies... let's see...

I love to crochet; I do it like nobodies business, I read like crazy, and I consider myself a permanent scholar. I love school and I'm going to keep going back until I'm satisfied that I know all that I will ever know about English and education.


message 130: by Gina (new)

Gina (alenachen) Reading (obviously!), playing games (anything with a good story :)). Writing and drawing, just for fun though, I love developing my own characters.
And that's about it, nothing special there.

AYE. A fellow Celtics fan :D I get so much trash from everyone here. Because I apparently live in "Laker" territory!


message 132: by Sally (new)

Sally (salgalruns) Love to scrapbook but it's lessened now that my kids are out of the house (ages 20 & 21). If I'm not reading, I am a total TV junkie, and love watching far too many TV shows for my own good. Love to walk as well, and am working on getting back to running.

OOO I like that! I will have to check that out. It would be a cool idea to start at the beginning of the new year :)


message 137: by Sally (new)

Sally (salgalruns) I prefer the "old fashioned" kind with the papers and embellishments, but that's only because I've accumulated so much! There's a lot of really cool digital stuff out there now too. I would love to get into it, but seriously - I have SOOOO much invested in the other type! Some fun ones to do though are the books from places such as Shutterfly or similar sites. They come out awesome.


message 138: by Kelli (new)

Kelli (kellibee) | 1 comments I saw a few other crocheters post, I also love to crochet. It puts me in a zen relaxation zone. @Maria, I'm crazy about finding new funky coffee shops. I dream about opening my own coffee/bookshop one day. I also really enjoy finding new music and seeing bands live. My favorite venue is the 9:30 club in DC.


message 139: by Anne (new)

Anne Mikusinsi (abghostwriter) | 1 comments I write, and listen to music. I like to take walks and take pictures when the weather is nice. When I can afford it, I go to movies
