Hobbies!

Sports, politics, movies, videogames, questionable hobbies, photos from your family vacation, etc. Talk about stuff that isn't ponies or music. But do try to stay on topic and respectful of alternate opinions.

Video games, filmmaking, snowboarding, longboarding, cars, paintball, and marijuana.

I have an eventful life.

I animate. Here's my channel so subscribe me maybe

Sorry for that :3 Other than animation I play piano and do quite a lot of quiz bowl. Well, I used to. Last year, I was on the a team and we won 1st place in nationals, the year before that I was on the b team and we won 2nd or something like that. I also like to write stuff but I don't get a chance to much.

oh yeah and also I make plushies

I'm everything here minus longboarding (I bike sometimes) snowboarding (I ski) and plus scuba diving.

How lax is Minnesota on the weed/how good is it there? Cuz Cali is niiice for that.

I once found a bunch of houses and a thai shop in the central business district of my town. I named the Thai shop Jane the Back Alley Thai shop.

It's hard to tell what's a hobby and what isn't- the only thing I know isn't a hobby is programming as I pay the bills by it, but as long as I can keep developing new products and live humbly and frugally, it doesn't eat all my time...

novelwriting (poni)
music (poni)
drawing, kinda (furry, usually not poni)
productivity (dicking around with workflow and the way stuff is set up)
reading (everything)

I really don't know where "hobby" and "work" begin and end for me. I love playing the piano, but I also teach piano to young kids part-time and perform in payed concerts... In the same line, I love reading, but most of the stuff I end up reading (while I still enjoy it) is for my ancient literature and philosophy class.

I also love science (I'm going to major in Physics), and have participated in my local science fair (and competed at the Intel International Science Fair last year), but now I'm working with a local college to build a superconducting- antigravity engine. So really my "work" and "hobby" overlap a ton.

Antigravity engine? Pff, I'm working with NASA to develop a prototype cold fusion reactor.

Sweet! Are you using the traditional Fleischmann–Pons fusion or are you doing Muon catalyst reactions (though thats not exactly fusion)? (And how is that working out? I had heard that the government nearly stopped funding cold fusion reasearch after 2004.)

So... both? I remember reading that NASA and CERN had teamed up a few years ago to try and attempt Muon Catalyst fusion, but in the end discovered the original "Cold-Fusion Heat" that had been observed in F-P experiments was actually a variant of nuclear decay. It would be really awesome if someone did something with that, because it seemed like they kinda dropped the ball with that one.

And actually, my anti-grav "engine" is technically a generator. Its using Quantum locked Abriksnov vortexes to levitate neodynamic magnets above a track, which then rotates to induce voltage into a secondary coil. Basically, you wind up the device, and it generates power like the energizer bunny- on and on and on...

That is, it will once its built; right now I'm trying to find someplace that will let me borrow a band saw. : P

I was kidding, :lol:

I'm only a freshman. I'd like to to major in particle physics or theoretical physics in college though, I enjoy both fields and am generally skilled in similar subjects.

do you by chance play Diplomacy? My buddies are quiet obsessed with it nowadays and that's pretty much all they talk about. I couldn't get into it but it was ok fun

I forgot to add urban exploration, the world that exists in storm drains and abandoned places is incredible, and something very few people see.

Look for storm drain exits, there's sure to be some, if they're barred off you can always get in through manholes. Just make sure you enter storm drains not sewers. Methane and other nasty stuff builds up in sewers, and unless you have a respirator u gunna die. Also check your local trespassing laws.
