I’ve gotten to where I prefer audio books so I can enjoy a book while doing household chores or the more mindless tasks in the shop but yes this happens.
I took enough French in high school to where I think I could successfully buy a loaf of bread in Quebec.
I play 8 musical instruments, though I’m probably best at 6 string guitar.
From pretzels to from scratch french onion soup I can put a decent meal on the table…
…that I built from scratch in my backyard wood shop. I’ve actually built a number of very nice tables and I’m not too bad at cabinetry. At some point I’m going to try my hand at turning.
Sorry no I’m just outright not a painter.
I’m not a bad technical writer but you’ll never get a novel out of me.
I grow tomatoes, peppers, okra, cucumbers, melons and beans, plus herbs like the peppermint I’m trying very hard to keep contained.
Because of how my early childhood shook out I like to swim but I’m not particularly fast at it. I find floating in water to be a very comfortable thing to do.
I’ve taken some nice pictures in my lifetime but I’m still not sure what an F stop is.
I like watching space documentaries but I don’t own a telescope.
Hiking isn’t particularly my thing; I would prefer to mountain bike than hike.
I haven’t so much as held a bow since high school.
I would call myself a “metalworker” rather than a “blacksmith.” With my background in aviation maintenance I’m more familiar with a shear and a brake than an anvil. I have done some machining and I do know how to quench harden and temper drill rod though.
I’ve been all over the United States but I’m not that interested in traveling.
I do not currently own a single comic book. I am a fan of two or three web comics that I get a few minutes of entertainment out of each day, XKCD being among them. Oh wait, does Thing Explainer by Randall Monroe count as a comic book?
I’ve been interested in helping someone build a costume but I’m not that interested in wearing one. There’s nowhere to talk about this in this list but I also like building electronics so a costume with lights or motorized components would be a project I’d like to work on.
I got some debate training in public speaking class in high school, I’m perfectly comfortable discussing the merits of one plan over another but I wouldn’t call it a hobby.
I do not “go out drinking.” I’ll sip a glass of bourbon or scotch though. I also like brown beers, please put your IPAs back in the urinal from whence they came.
Assuming this stands for Magic The Gathering, I’ve never really been into pretty much anything like that. If you invited me to play a round of any tabletop game of my choice it would be Battletech.
There have been individual works of Anime I’ve enjoyed but you’d never mistake me for a weeb.
I have no interest in makeup on my face or anyone else’s. I was into wet shaving for awhile but I’ve gotten to where I just wear stubble.
Cryptocurrency? No. Cryptography? It has been a little while since I last attended a key signing party.
It’s been awhile since I’ve had a good cigar, but I’m not really tempted to restart that particular habit.
I have never set foot inside a night club and never intend to.
Another thing I’ve never done, for much of my life I’ve had drug tests to pass.
You mean those dumb little bobble heads some people fill their houses with? I’ve never actually seen one in person and hope I never do.
No YOU fuck off and die!
In a world where porn strives to be as depraved as possible it’s actually difficult to satisfy a simple lingerie fetish. Search xvideos for “panties” and it autocorrects you to “no panties.” FML.
I’ll play too.
