I do like gaming (I also wasted hours playing WoW, so glad I stopped), I also bird-watch with the fiance (the long walks are great exercise to my otherwise sedentary existence) but my biggest hobby is doll collecting.

Which I have found, to some surprise, scares/upsets people more than tattoos in general.

I don’t get it :/

Hobbies? What’s that? 😛

Usually I’m so backed up with school and work ( I’m doing a double degree and working 60%), so I don’t really have a life most of the year.. Now during summer I only have work though. I do a bit of artsy stuff. I paint, draw, make hand painted t-shirt designs (actually bringing in some extra cash!), create some cosplay costumes (last one was Princess Leia’s slave bikini), huge Star Wars geek. Sci-fi in general, really. I read quite a bit. I pick up hobbies once in a while because something looks fun and challenging, and when I succeed I get bored. Haha, I’ve done concert reviews, photography, modelling, professional martial arts, coctail bartending(hell, I even ended up being sponsored!), jewelery design, shooting guns, event management, etc etc. Got published, sold some stuff, won an award or generally succeeded in all, and then I moved on to the next one ;P I even did engineering school for a year, just because it was something I never imagined myself doing. I was right – So not for me. But I tried! Oh, and I did some gaming once too. Got bored pretty quickly, but did try out a Barcraft. Good fun! Currently I work in a tattoo parlor, but I’m doing my masters next year, and considering I’ll be doing fieldwork for a minimum of 6 months, I assume things will change soon 🙂 Can’t go around being boring, so I’m trying to get accepted for fieldwork in a war zone. Yeah.. I’ve got issues :p

So right now I guess I’m just turning into a well educated hippie, who much prefers to drink wine, have affairs with men who are no good for me, and stay up all night painting or getting tattooed.
