other folks interests besides dogs...

    • Gold Top Dog
    i love to play sports! mostly softball, tennis, and running. I also REALLLY love music--going to concerts is one of my favorite things. I also spend a lot of time with my friends. School has never been a huge interest, but now that i'm in nursing school i really enjoy it.

    I love military history... with a specific focus on Vietman and WWII. I will pretty much watch anything, go to anything, or read anything on military history. I was getting my masters in it as well. (I dropped out due to the "big move" to Florida and it was too stressful working full time and going to grad school full time). I love criminology as well, and the Discovery Times has the best programs on the subject so I love to watch or read anything about crime and the psychology of criminals.
     
    I am obsessed with books. I love being outdoors, whether it's camping, going to the beach, going to a state park, etc. I love amusement parks, trying new restaurants, going to museums, pretty much anything that will help me stay well-rounded!

    Anything and everything that involves the outdoors: camping, hiking, road biking, mountain biking, kayaking, frisbee golf...that pretty much sums it up!
     
    I don't have many interests that involve being inside other than watching movies and reading. I buy used DVDs and just watch them when I get the time (I never return rented videos on time so it's cheaper to buy).

    I love gourmet cooking, and just cooking in general, well, and just food in general. I used to sew a lot but have kind of gotten out of that due to lack of space. I work around the house a good bit but that's not really a hobby, just a necessity. I love reading and that's really important to me.

    I love:
     - To read - I am a member of two book clubs & write my own reviews on a blog.
     - Photography & Art - I hope to eventually get really good at photography & possibly make a career out of it.
     - Puzzles - I LOVE puzzles. I like Thomas Kincaid puzzles because they are        detailed which makes them more difficult.
     - Dance - If I hadn't gotten off track when I was 19 years old, I would have pursued this as my career.

    I'm a huge fan of useless trivia and really want to try out for VH1's World Series of Pop Culture

     
    I love that show.  I know two people that where in the first season.  They were on the team PDX 503.
     
    I crochet and knit.  I find it really relaxing.
     
    I like to read.  I go through fazes where I read more, then I'll just stop for months at a time.  I do this with crocheting and knitting too.
     
    I used to go watch my fiance's band every friday and saturday, but can't now.  If Oregon would quit allowing people to smoke in bars then I could still go and watch all the time.  Now I'm lucky if I get to go 2 times a week.  His band won a city wide contest for best performer/band.  I'm very proud of him.

    what other interests/activities do you folks have?


    I play music, write songs, write essays, poetry.  I love to cook.  And I love cars.  I like the outdoors, studying philosophy and rhetoric, abstract concepts, astro and particle physics, medicine, and about a million other things.

    At this particular moment I'm way too loopy because of the valium (legally prescribed.)  Give me a few hours, and maybe.
