Re: better pleasures

I like to........play......zelda....*oh crap!*

I put this because, to be honest, videogames are my only hobbie that come to mind.

Well.... I do read some comics, watch some anime (only if its really good, I dont settle for okay crap), Hang out with my friends, and look for jobs (since they are impossible to find) and that about covers it.

Re: better pleasures

Well...

I am taking 18 credit hours in school right now which includes 4 productions I'm working on. There are four of us who have made a tight group in previous productions. Brad is working on a music video of which I will asistant edit (loging blegh) and help with effect work. Mike has written a story about a girl who sees angels and demons. Filming begins in 2 weeks. Justin is making a fan-film paroidy of Star Wars fan films. We will be going frame by frame making sticks into lightsabors. And I'm heading up a project. A flash cartoon cartoon about two cave lizards who attend medical school.

I work an adverage of 30 hours a week at Dave and Busters in the Winner's Circle, but I'm just transfered to Midway Tech. That's exciting. I get to learn what makes arcade games tick.

I've been spending time resently on the Jumpkid Bible but for about a year now I've been working on a comic book called Scumby and the Time Pirates. It's about a cyborg clone from the year Eighty Billion who eats a time machine.

I also do a lot of miscalanious drawing and coloring while listening to This American Life. And I just got Radiata Stories (Great game! Love the look.), Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrows, and Sly 3. Too bad I don't have time to play them. And my friend Nate is alowing me to read his signed copy of Ananasi Boys. Which I read in bed, before I get the little sleep I can.

And the drinking. Can't forget the drinking.

But mostly I spend my time driving. =( So much time wasted in trafic. *sigh*

Re: better pleasures

I like to make stop motion animation (but it's been years...) and paint (but it's been years...).

Lately I have been enjoying Snooty Activities like crashing American Chemical Society meetings in Full Hippie Regalia (Long Hair Down and Fringy Hippy Boots with Matching Jacket and a Paisley Headband for effect).

I also haunt the Chemical Heritage Foundation in Philadelphia because of their collection of vintage Lab Equipment and medieval paintings of Alchemists. And when they have a lecture, there is a $10 reception with an open bar (free and unlimited) and Gourmet Food! Last time I had Ostrich and more. Best $10 you can spend on food and drink.

Them Snootentoots sure know how to Party. Just don't expect loud music and mindless conversation.

It ain't all bad being grown up.

Peace.

I take Karate lessons. I mention "George Iberl" in my games often. He is actually my Karate instructor.

Re: better pleasures

I'm also a martial artist (currently without a teacher, I'm a ronin ) and spend at least a day or two a week training and honing what I allready know until I join a new school. I'm starting a job at Lowes Movie Theatres in Stony Brook on thursday.

I'm working on a few screenplays right now and running a website. As far as my "college life" goes I just joined a bunch of meritorious engineering clubs (I'm on the executive board for the society of women engineers Youngest Male executive ever! ) and that's it, I commute so I just go home after classes and well, I've been invited to some parties but I haven't gone to any of them. I like to keep my drinking CLASSY.

Oh yeah...I'm also trying to get better at drawing, I can do pixel art and stuff for the most part (at least with models, haven't tried backgrounds and stuff) but I'm spending a lot of free time doing exercises in this book that are supposed to help you shift to a "right brain" mindset while doing art cause it's supposed to help you focus or something, it's actually working for the most part.

Re: better pleasures

When I get terribly bored at work (some nights my entire job is looking at a computer screen to make sure image quality is acceptable), I do a lot of reading. Yes, I neglect the original purpose of my job to read. And to this day, I've never had any complaints about my work. In fact, I get compliments from the same people who complain about everyone else's work. I rule. Other times I'll either write crappy poetry or doodle. I don't do any of this outside of work, though. They're my work hobbies.

The Creative Writing Story is among my hobbies. It's currently my turn to write, and I'm moving along at a gruelingly slow pace, but I am progressing. Aside from the CWS, I randomly work on one of several novels I plan to finish, none of which are in the same category of fiction.

I'm collaborating with my brother on an epic cinematic adventure that he created the idea for, and he wants me to write the screenplay and fill in all the details that he doesn't think he can handle. It's a different writing medium for me to work in, but I'll give it a shot. Watch out Wachowski's! But if we become famous, I'm sure as hell not getting the sex change.

On the weekends I don't even get online most of the time. I spend them with my friends hanging out, going to movies, drinking and playing cards, having insanely idiotic broomstick battles where we always come out bruised and cut; you know, immature stuff like that.

That's about it. I dabble in electric guitar and the keyboard, thinking seriously about taking lessons for one or both; I have a certain knack for them, I just need actual training, as much as I hate to admit it.

I watch the Price Is Right looking at the hot women ages 18-65.

Re: better pleasures

Oh my!

Let's see. I start of the day bright and early, at about 5:15 AM. I take my medication (anti-depressents and mood stabilizers) then I take a quick nap till about 6:00 AM. I get ready, and head off to school. Which consists of me drawing and playing Pokemon whenever I have spare time.

Then I get home. I just draw, listen to music, chill with my girlfriend, or sit and post here.

That's about it.

Oh, some TV with my Dad, too.

Re: better pleasures

I work, then I get online to play poker to make some more money, then I go to sleep.
Then I wake to go to work, then get home and get online to play poker to make some more money, then I go to sleep.
Repeat.
About once a week I hang with friends, then once every other week or so I get totally smashed at some party or something and wake up wishing I never heard of alcohol.
Then I go to work.

...I'm leading a very depressihng life, at the moment.

Re: better pleasures

I abuse my body with drugs, and belittle my friends' taste in music and movies.

All in the name of making me feel like a big man.

Oh, and poker. I lose my money playing poker.
