Basically what the title says

What are your favourite Hobbies and interests. Outside of MLUKFC

I myself love four wheeling, and chatting. I have a lot of friends that are girls, and I often hang out with them. I also hang out with my buddy, or as my friend calls us "Homiez" His name is Aj. I love my cat NEKO, he's the greatest, I want to post his picture, I'll get to that. I play guitar, and I'm learning how to act, and I want to be a better singer. School's alright, I love english. And I'm a little rusty in Math.

Well thats me, what about you?

sherrie87 · 21 Oct 2003, 04:50

Great topic RSG! My main "interest" is being a Mom, it seems to consume everything! I have a nearly 7 year old son, he was born with a heart defect and had open heart surgery once in 09/2001 and we are anticipating another surgery for him in the near future. Despite that, he can be quite a handful at times! He loves CHSIB, and we spend a lot of time listening to it. There are lots of pics of him on my website (see my sig) as well as his heart defect story. Other than that, I am also a foster parent for abused and abandoned dachshunds, right now I have two of my own and two foster dogs- things get a bit loud in my house! I am a very intense sports fan, with a blinding passion for the football team at my alma mater, the University of South Florida (we play at Tampa, in the same stadium as the World Champ Buccaneers). I also love baseball and professional (American) football. My career is a school librarian for 11 to 13 year olds, so I spend a lot of time reading. I do book reviews for a national librarian's magazine, called VOYA. My favorite authors are Stephen King, Harlan Ellison and John Irving. Now that you know far too much about me, how about some of the rest of you tell us about you? :P

My main interest is my daughter or monster as she is affectionately nick-named

. She is 10 now and it still amazes me how much of a carbon copy of me she is and still be her own person.
My pets are another interest. We have 2 cats, fish, and a hamster (a food chain basically

)
I love to read (Stephen King) and I have taken up cross stitch. Not a good hobby for someone as impatient as me but I am trying

. I also love playing on the computer and listening to music.
Enough about me....Next.....

heat · 21 Oct 2003, 09:22

Well..I'm also a mother, to two very lively one year old boys, Finlaye and Keeyfer. Although they are a handful, i have a great family that provides me with lots of support, so i do get time to myself

I also love reading, Stephen King, Patricia Cornwell, Kathy Reichs, that kinda thing, although my library at home is very diverse. I'm also a big football fan - Swansea City are my team, and am very glad to say we ain't doing too badly this season

Anyways, enough about me.....NEXT!!!!!

dottie · 21 Oct 2003, 10:58

Well I'm a nannie to 3 grandchildren, love to take them out, love buying and searching out all memorablia to do with music, photo's, records , sheet music etc., hence the buying of juke box, something I've wanted to do for longer than I care to remember, its a Wurlitzer Carnegie which has been converted to take cd's. Music is my passion, although I do make time for reading, cinema and trying to educate myself in the use of a computer.

Chris · 21 Oct 2003, 14:08

Well i work as the manager of a newsagents. As you may have noticed from some of my previous posts, i am a huge Smart Car Fan and I am in the fan club (http://www.funkysmart.co.uk) we regularly meet up for nights out/bowling/meals and even the occasional camping trip!!!!

I also do a spot of freelance web design such as http://www.geocities.com/cfhsweb/ and am currently working on one for the local art society.

I enjoy watching films, especially the classic british Shepperton adn Ealing ones, reading almost any genre of book and listening to music.

Also as I am the village newsie I get asked to local dinners a lot such as the Pensioners Luncheon club and the like (7 bookings for Xmas - I am still available on some dates if you want me!!!!!!!!)

Ok, NEXT.......

EDIT:>>Forgot to mention, i am a huge Stephen King fan but loathe, hate and detest the Dark Tower series!!! I do not know why, I have read boooks 1 to 3 twice and cannot get into it!!

sherrie87 · 21 Oct 2003, 15:13

Wow, we have a lot of Stephen King fans here! FYI- (though most of you probably already know this) the newest SK Dark Tower book will be released (in the US at least, but I would assume the UK as well) on November 4th! It's called "The Wolves of Calla" and it continues the journey with Roland the Gunslinger. I can't wait!!!

Liked this one so thought i'd resurrect it.
Right - my main 'thing' is also being a mum to my beautiful, precocious nearly 3 year old Amy. Looking for work at the moment (not too successfully) after completing a degree in psychology.
I love reading anything from... stephen king... and dean koontz to chris manby to jules verne. My favourite books are an autobiographical trilogy by dave pelzer - disturbing stuff.
Other than meat my fave music encompasses rock, jazz (big band mainly), classical and show tunes! (the whole gamet really

)
I have a four month old pain in the @$$ staffy cross pup called jem and i love playing alto sax.
so thats me, can everyone else get in on this one cos i'd like to know more about you guys (being fairly new to the site)

Wild_Honey · 03 Jan 2004, 00:26

...Hmmm... going to the cinema and working there apart from university, meeting friends, chatting to my boyfriend on the weekends, music, drawing, writing poetry and short stories... Well, that's basically it!

*AndyK* · 03 Jan 2004, 01:06

Is there life outside of the MLUKFC forum?

There is? Well there must be as I spend time doing the following (but not all at once)....

Reading (although sorry t osay I haven't read a Stephen King book in years), elephant juggling, saving the world, working as a software manager for somewhere so secret I'd have to shoot you all if I told you where it was, walking the muppet, cleaning the muppet after his walks to save the furniture, some freelance design work for human computer systems interfaces (that's screen layouts to the blerk in the street), I dabble in writing and sometimes even get the words in the right order as well as the letters, photography stills and video, falling over (usually late on a Saturday night after partaking in my other interest of supporting the British Brewery Trade), play golf, watch football (but not this season as Leeds haven't really been playing any), taking my car out on the track so I can push it beyond 70 (honest officer I never do that on the open roads), oh... and sometimes I sleep

meatfan · 03 Jan 2004, 02:39

I am Grandmother to five, all boys. I care for one of them (a Meat Loaf fan from 3 years who is now 4) four days a week. We care for three men with Learning Difficulties (65, 71 and 74) who have lived with me and my husband for 14 years.

I love reading and have over 3000 books - good job we have a huge old house! Anything non-fiction, animal stories, nature, UFO's, medical, biographies.

Also David Pelzer - I too was an abused child, and like David it was my mother who was the abuser.

Also love Derek Tangye. For those that don't know him, he started to write in the 50's or 60's and most of his books are known world-wide.

He was in MI5 and his wife was Publicity Officer for the Savoy group of hotels. They had enough of the high life and moved to Cornwall (a beautifull part of the UK surrounded on 3 sides by rocky cliffs and sandy beaches). They lived in a small (at first) desolate tumble down cottage on the edge of a cliff with NO running water, NO proper loo and NO phone, eaking out a living by growing potatoes and flowers. Beautifully written stories such as "Cat In The Window", "Gull On Th Roof", "Cottage On A Cliff" etc. I have most of his books and read them to David at night as he is dyslexic.

Have done some writing and had several articles published mostly in the local papers (nature).

We have 3 cats, a ferret who is definately brain-damaged, she is so mischeivous, called Blossum, 4 rats, and tropical fish. David and I are members of the Lancashire Badger group.

Also learning computing and going to college for Web Page Development next week.

Love music, aside from Meat I love Roy Orbison, (his son Roy Kelton stayed with us in 1990) and love a guy called Medwyn Goodall (New Age artist who is reclusive and writes his own music and plays around 14 instruments) - MAGIC!

I haven't read Stephen King for a long time, but do like some of the films
I love going to the theatre & have started swimming twice a week
I also have a 5 yr old field spaniel named Dougie (rescue dog) who does not like children - but is obsessed with his ball (rubber one) i love taking him on the field for a run. He chases the ball - i listen to Meat :P

Enough now

BadAttitude · 03 Jan 2004, 10:24

Hum, my interest are spending my time with my beautiful daughter Carissa.
Going to college I am in my senior year of earning a B.A. in Women's Studies and a B.A. in Criminology (dual major). I love learning new things, new languages, I just love learning would love to be a student for life if I could afford it.

I love to rebuild old cars and go to old car shows, I rebuilt and owned a 65 Mustang and a 63 Ford Falcon. Hope in the not to distant to get a another car to rebuild.

I love being strong physically and try to spend three days a week in the gym lifting weights I benchpress 120 llbs., and lift 165 lbs. on squats.

I love music of all kinds but mostly: classic rock, jazz, blues, country, reggie. Love T. Graham Brown's music espically the songs "Wine into Water" and "Which Way to Pray", whcih have specaial meaning in my life.

I love the time I get to spend with my baby (cat) Meat Loaf, he is a shinning light in times of darkness for me, he gives his love unconditionally to me.

These are the main things in life that bring me enjoyment besides Meat's music.

Love & Happiness
Autumn

Tim · 03 Jan 2004, 11:50

Outside the MLUKFC my hobby's are.... let see....music, got a lot of cd's and it is growing with the day. Allways listening to music.

Another hobby is driving... yeah... love that. In the car, cruising around, offcourse with the radio on.

Also art is a hobby... well, don't know if you can call it a hobby. Like to paint and draw myself. But lately not much time, that is very bad i think. Made from my hobby my job, i'm an art -teacher.

And the other hobby i won't tell you about

The Butcher

Rob The Badger · 03 Jan 2004, 13:29

Hello.
Um. . .hobbies, hobbies.
Well my main obsession is music, started collecting (seriously) about two years ago and now have a somewhat large collection. . .My favourite band is The Smiths, which would explain my passion for poetry and Oscar Wilde.
As many of you know I sing in a band and write the lyrics too.
I also have a healthy interest in art, I paint and draw often.
Cheers, bye.

Oh yes, I like breakfast too.

Skeleton · 03 Jan 2004, 13:32

My hobbies are: Listening the music, shooting (My dad bought me a BBgun when I was 11 years old), cooking and baking. It´s so relaxing and you can see the results right a way. I read a lot and I write a stories. Favourite writers are Stephen King and John Grisham. (I have almost all Grisham´s book only a It´s time to kill, The Rainmaker, Skipping Cristmas and Painted house is missing from my bookshel) I love swimming but it´s hard to find time to go swimminghall.

You might think how I have to to do all this but I cook my own food. I read
and write while I listen to music and so on.

And of course I chat with my friends. Me and my best friend can talk hours ´bout everything. And still we don´t know everything ´bout each others. WE like to have our a little secrets. And basically you don´t have to know everything bout each others: then you don´t have fights. But we are basically same kind of persons. I can buy a present without asking what she want ´couse I just think what I´d like to have. And she can buy me a present. It´s a litlle bit scary.

Keep Rocking · 03 Jan 2004, 17:26

I have two cats, which most of the time behave like crazy.
I like going to hockey games, my favourite team are the "Adler Mannheim" (Adler=eagles). My passion on hockey is so big that my boyfriend, my sister and me will travel to USA (Dallas and Denver) in march to see 5 NHL hockey games.
I also like reading, at the time I prefer historical novels.

So, next one

Kitty Kat · 03 Jan 2004, 20:26

I have a cat who, like me, is gettng on a bit. In cat years he is 105. I dont think that I will be as agile as he is is I reach 105. come to think of it I'm not that agile now

My two main hobbies are genealogy and water colours. My maternal grandmother's family came from Denmark and grandfather from Wales. How they met is a mystery as my grandmother spent a number of years at the beginning og the 1900's in Argentine as a governess.
As far as my painting abilities go, Grandma Moses has nothing to fear. I just find it very relaxing.

ChrissybabezNI · 03 Jan 2004, 20:49

I have a ginger cat who I found years ago and a black shetland collie dog who I got from the dog shelter. I love watching soaps, emmerdale, coronation street and eastenders, and going to the cinema, the last thing I went to see was the Lord of the Rings, Return of the King. I like going out shopping for clothes when I have the money, and love eating out, though I resolve to replace that with the gym this year ( I hope)

We care for three men with Learning Difficulties (65, 71 and 74) who have lived with me and my husband for 14 years. I love reading and have over 3000 books - good job we have a huge old house! Anything non-fiction, animal stories, nature, UFO's, medical, biographies. Also David Pelzer - I too was an abused child, and like David it was my mother who was the abuser. Also love Derek Tangye. For those that don't know him, he started to write in the 50's or 60's and most of his books are known world-wide. He was in MI5 and his wife was Publicity Officer for the Savoy group of hotels. They had enough of the high life and moved to Cornwall (a beautifull part of the UK surrounded on 3 sides by rocky cliffs and sandy beaches). They lived in a small (at first) desolate tumble down cottage on the edge of a cliff with NO running water, NO proper loo and NO phone, eaking out a living by growing potatoes and flowers. Beautifully written stories such as "Cat In The Window", "Gull On Th Roof", "Cottage On A Cliff" etc. I have most of his books and read them to David at night as he is dyslexic. Have done some writing and had several articles published mostly in the local papers (nature). We have 3 cats, a ferret who is definately brain-damaged, she is so mischeivous, called Blossum, 4 rats, and tropical fish. David and I are members of the Lancashire Badger group. Also learning computing and going to college for Web Page Development next week. Love music, aside from Meat I love Roy Orbison, (his son Roy Kelton stayed with us in 1990) and love a guy called Medwyn Goodall (New Age artist who is reclusive and writes his own music and plays around 14 instruments) - MAGIC!

Going to college I am in my senior year of earning a B.A. in Women's Studies and a B.A. in Criminology (dual major). I love learning new things, new languages, I just love learning would love to be a student for life if I could afford it. I love to rebuild old cars and go to old car shows, I rebuilt and owned a 65 Mustang and a 63 Ford Falcon. Hope in the not to distant to get a another car to rebuild. I love being strong physically and try to spend three days a week in the gym lifting weights I benchpress 120 llbs., and lift 165 lbs. on squats. I love music of all kinds but mostly: classic rock, jazz, blues, country, reggie. Love T. Graham Brown's music espically the songs "Wine into Water" and "Which Way to Pray", whcih have specaial meaning in my life. I love the time I get to spend with my baby (cat) Meat Loaf, he is a shinning light in times of darkness for me, he gives his love unconditionally to me. These are the main things in life that bring me enjoyment besides Meat's music. Love & Happiness Autumn

Rob The Badger Too sexy for this post Join Date: 14.04.2002 Location: Manchester, UK Posts: 2,895	Hello. Um. . .hobbies, hobbies. Well my main obsession is music, started collecting (seriously) about two years ago and now have a somewhat large collection. . .My favourite band is The Smiths, which would explain my passion for poetry and Oscar Wilde. As many of you know I sing in a band and write the lyrics too. I also have a healthy interest in art, I paint and draw often. Cheers, bye. Oh yes, I like breakfast too.

Skeleton Mega Loafer Join Date: 13.10.2003 Location: Grinning, Ducking & Running Posts: 3,668	My hobbies are: Listening the music, shooting (My dad bought me a BBgun when I was 11 years old), cooking and baking. It´s so relaxing and you can see the results right a way. I read a lot and I write a stories. Favourite writers are Stephen King and John Grisham. (I have almost all Grisham´s book only a It´s time to kill, The Rainmaker, Skipping Cristmas and Painted house is missing from my bookshel) I love swimming but it´s hard to find time to go swimminghall. You might think how I have to to do all this but I cook my own food. I read and write while I listen to music and so on. And of course I chat with my friends. Me and my best friend can talk hours ´bout everything. And still we don´t know everything ´bout each others. WE like to have our a little secrets. And basically you don´t have to know everything bout each others: then you don´t have fights. But we are basically same kind of persons. I can buy a present without asking what she want ´couse I just think what I´d like to have. And she can buy me a present. It´s a litlle bit scary.

Posts: 820	I have two cats, which most of the time behave like crazy. I like going to hockey games, my favourite team are the "Adler Mannheim" (Adler=eagles). My passion on hockey is so big that my boyfriend, my sister and me will travel to USA (Dallas and Denver) in march to see 5 NHL hockey games. I also like reading, at the time I prefer historical novels. So, next one

Kitty Kat Senior Loafer Join Date: 03.09.2003 Location: West Yorkshire, UK Posts: 198	I have a cat who, like me, is gettng on a bit. In cat years he is 105. I dont think that I will be as agile as he is is I reach 105. come to think of it I'm not that agile now My two main hobbies are genealogy and water colours. My maternal grandmother's family came from Denmark and grandfather from Wales. How they met is a mystery as my grandmother spent a number of years at the beginning og the 1900's in Argentine as a governess. As far as my painting abilities go, Grandma Moses has nothing to fear. I just find it very relaxing.

I love watching soaps, emmerdale, coronation street and eastenders, and going to the cinema, the last thing I went to see was the Lord of the Rings, Return of the King. I like going out shopping for clothes when I have the money, and love eating out, though I resolve to replace that with the gym this year ( I hope)
