Clearly, most of us are frequent interwebs-ers, but what other things do you do? Do you spend all your time tinkering with technology?

I personally like doing crafty things. I can't draw or paint worth shit, but I love to cross-stitch and crochet when I can. I also play piano when I have access and no one's around (so no one can hear how terribly I sing :) ).

    I love singing! I love it so much :) I'm nothing special but it's really fun and relaxes me a lot. My little brother is freaking amazing at guitar so sometimes I get him to play songs I like and I'll sing along. That's always fun.

    I also like cooking up kooky little recipes from scratch (although they don't always turn out great)

    I play video games, mainly FPS or FPRPG is the style I go for but I am capable of playing just about anything really.

    Is that really "odd" though? I normally associate frequent interwebs-ers with lots of video games :p

    Some of the games are quite strange indeed, but videogames themselves... not so much. I see your point.

    Yay! I am a crochet lady too, I also knit and sew. I can cross-stitch but it's definitely not my favorite.

    Other than that, and running around after kids and the rest of the normal "Mommy" duties (cooking, cleaning, yard work) I play viola and violin, and I run and exercise. Also currently I am learning to make soap. I do a fair amount of independent study as well. Sometimes I like to just do nothing at all!

    I tinker with my audio equipment, deal with kids, handle work related thing around the clock, and fix up my car in my spare noninterweb times

    I love this blog (howsweeteats.com) but I sometimes think the lady who writes it could do with coming and explaining herself here :p

    "Roasted Strawberry, Brie and CHOCOLATE grilled cheese" mental. It's a great blog though, she's hilarious and very creative. And all the food porn makes me happy ;)

    EDIT: Oh my god I totally thought this was the weird food combination topic (strange and odd are like the same in my head ok) oh dear this is embarassing.

    Ordinary things: I go lift for about an hour each day, every Wednesday and Friday I go for a 5 mile run. Weird things I do? Color code the shirts in my closet one way, then the next day I decide I don't like the way it looks so I'll change the order or reverse it all.

    I take a lead pencil. I place the tip on my eye brow and hold it up with a finger on the other end of the pencil. Feels almost orgasmic.

    Count me in for the crochet circle!
    I also like to cut paper, play piano, and stretch.

    My little brother is freaking amazing at guitar so sometimes I get him to play songs I like and I'll sing along. That's always fun.


    Are you me?! My little brother is also amazing at guitar. He's 19, though. We can spend hours together sitting around playing guitar and/or piano, singing along with each other. <3 You and I are incredibly lucky.
    The only thing is... I'm sure you sing pretty well. I am very aware of the fact that I am a horrible singer. Doesn't make it less fun though!

    Uh... okay. Just as long as you're not sticking needles in your taint, I guess that's alright.

    I do both of these things. I also spend an obscene amount of time planning out the rest of my life, writing, cooking, preserving, and doing mommy things. I used to do homework in my spare time, but that's done with for a long while now.

    Aside from school, which I don't have to go back to until september,
    I go hit the Golf Course on nice days, I take my dogs to the beach & I play COD on xbox on crappy days.

    I listen to a lot of screamo/deathcore, so I really enjoy practicing growls/screams/inhales whenever I can. When I drive I blast my music and just scream along with it. It's a great stress reliever, actually.

    Sorry for mini-gravedig

    But I totally fell for the Frizzle/Trizzle thing because of my phone >:( I was like "Wtf, he's a cop and he likes singing in his spare time? Well that's new. And using the word "kooky". Interesting"

    I enjoy trying to figure out what songs that I listen to mean and looking into the lyrical themes. Looking up words I don't know meanings of (Also from songs)

    I play guitar but that's not really odd, however I do play air guitar sometimes instead of doing cardio lol

    I sleep. A lot. Oh, and play with knives, and straight razors, and I talk about politics. And attend college!

    But mostly sleeping and politics...
