What Are Your Offline Hobbies? - EHPrybylski - April 27th, 2014
We have a thread where everyone admits to how much time they spend online, but what about what we do when we aren't hitting "Stumble" or wandering Reddit?
My hobbies are:
Medieval Reenactment (SCA)
Violin, cello, and voice
Writing
Artwork
Reading (SO MUCH READING)
Firearms
Archery
Gardening
Martial Arts
What about all of you? What are you all doing when you aren't staring at the screen?

I enjoy bike riding, guitar, long drives, eating, and the like.

Reading, drawing, watching TV, eating, and... Hmm... I don't have a lot of outdoor activities...
RE: What Are Your Offline Hobbies? - EHPrybylski - May 4th, 2014
Outside activities are worth it, though. Despite how exhausting they can be. The medieval reenacting I do is awesome.

Medieval reenacting? Cool stuff!
Indoor wise, I like pc gaming and pcs in general. Outside, I often play (non-serious) games of basketball with friends.

Oh you're learning guitar now? Nice! Acoustic or eletric?
RE: What Are Your Offline Hobbies? - Clayton - May 6th, 2014
Electric. I have not yet bought my own, I am just using a friends, but this summer I plan to buy one from Fender.
RE: What Are Your Offline Hobbies? - Darth-Apple - May 6th, 2014
Sweet. I have a fender strat that I like a lot.
RE: What Are Your Offline Hobbies? - Clayton - May 6th, 2014
That is exactly the one I was going to get. I want it in burnt orange.
RE: What Are Your Offline Hobbies? - EHPrybylski - May 6th, 2014
I have an Ibanez acoustic guitar that I am particularly fond of. Though I have more violins than guitars.
And yes! I do medieval reenacting. I'm currently working on getting siege engines on the property sometime in the near future.
RE: What Are Your Offline Hobbies? - Clayton - May 6th, 2014
Violins? Cool!
Mid-evil reenactions sound pretty cool.
RE: What Are Your Offline Hobbies? - Warwick - May 15th, 2014
Where do you get the costumes for the medieval re-enactment? And how do you play it?
RE: What Are Your Offline Hobbies? - EHPrybylski - May 16th, 2014
Warwick --
I actually have to make or purchase them from people in the group. They're on Etsy, too, if you look. As far as how you do it... you research, really, and you learn. I've been learning thrown weapons (currently working on axes), fencing, crafting of various types (soap, dyes, chain maille, etc.) and learning the history.
In addition to that there are events. Like ren fairs. Large wars, small scale skirmishes, feasts, dances, craft events... There are a whole lot of activities you can be part of.
RE: What Are Your Offline Hobbies? - SpookyZalost - May 20th, 2017
Kung-fu, game console collecting, electronics modding, reading... a lot, Karaoke, and taking pretty girls out on dates, you know, the usual lol.
