Hobbies and Such

[Gillian]

I am wondering about a couple of things after reading some of the comments and ramblings. Are there any correlations between our dressing habits, and what we like to do as hobbies? Shop until you drop aside, Art, poetry, is there a common thread?

I like model railroading, woodworking, gardening and photography. I have my share of train pictures. My sports are cycling, and football, we call the other game soccer in Canada. The "testosterone" runs hot during the NFL season.

I would enjoy hearing from you Gals, and maybe some of us "common threads" can chat about our likes over in the corner so we don't bore the others.

Woodturning mostly. Also woodcarving, drawing, and trying some photography.

camping and a little fishing. Love to sit around a campfire

at night with a group of friends and drink a couple of beers.

Interesting you should post this! As it turns out, several years ago, I did a similar (albiet limited) survey of several CD'ers and found that for the most part (80% or better) model railroading was a hobby. Woodworking came in a strong second, and nothing else statistically significant.

I've always sort of wondered at various model railroad shows.....hmmmm?

I like model railroading, and I've also read about a strong correlation. It never gets mentioned in Model Railroader however. On the other hand the "Shady Lady Motel" is a favorite building on many layouts. I've read that ham radio operating used to have a similar correlation.

My first guess is that a lot of boys start playing with trains at about the age we usually start dressing. So depending on how you interpret this, we are still in touch with our inner child and sense of wonder, or just never grew up. Personally I prefer the first explanation.

I like camping and hiking and part of me feels like I have this girl identity because I want a part of me to be as beautiful as the mountains. Gardening also feels sort of like that.

I also play the trumpet. A very masculine instrument. My girl side is learning the trombone. I do not like to play trumpet while dressed. It feels dishonest, even though I am just practicing at home alone.

I also enjoy model railroading and woodworking. They're probably my top two hobbies. I also do some reading, video games, and tinkering with electronics/computers.

My top hobbies include playing keyboards and accordian and cooking. I have done a little woodworking in the past, but wouldn't consider it a hobby.

I guess I have stayed away from model railroading as I can see myself spending too much money on it. I do enjoy looking at the though.

Online gaming is my only past time these days.

Back in school I use to be really into CB's(Cizitens Band Radios) but with the internet kinda made that obselete for me.

Oh chopping down trees,
Hanging about in bars wearing bras,
You know!

On Wednesdays I go shopping, and have buttered scones for tea!....

Been there, done that. Lived 21 years in BC Canada, and did not find others who enjoyed that song like I did. Falling trees is fun and scary at the same time. But that was not a hobby, well maybe the garters were!

I am about to spend this weekend doing one of my hobbies, playing PAINTBALL all weekend long. I spent last weekend doing another of my hobbies, renaissance faires.
