text: i need a new hobby. suggestions? for over 2 years i have been blogging, i played utopia and adventure quest... and even tried photography. now i'm bored and i want something new. can anyone give me some ideas/links? photography is an awesome hobby and can be started (especially these days with digital cameras and inexpensive computers) for very little money.  there is something about capturing a moment and being able to hold onto it forever.  collecting is a great hobby and you can easily collect something that appeals to you.  i used to collect comic books, but others collect stamps, or postcards, or bugs (ewww), or a wide variety of things.  decorating, now that's a hobby.  you can always find something in your house to decorate, or even elsewhere such as outside (landscaping) and it can be done in a house, an apartment, or just about anywhere.  beads are fun and you can make a lot of fun things such as necklaces or bracelets.  reading is fun.  you can go on a bender and just start reading like mad.  fiction, non fiction, fun and contemporary or even serious drama and the like.  the classics are great and by reading them you can be involved in a lot of conversations.  it also gives you some insight into the creation of many modern words and sayings.  take photography to another level and make your own films.  an inexpensive video camera and an apple (yes i'm biased) and you can make some fun awesome movies.  and, i know this is way out there, but volunteering is truly an amazing thing to do.  not only will you be keeping yourself busy and learning various skills, but you will be helping your brothers and sisters of the world.  you can volunteer in so many ways, from the simple act of helping feed the homeless or organizing the food bins at a local food shelter, to helping in the building of houses, helping at fund raisers, manning phones (why not womaning phones?), or just about anything else.  i hope that you find a hobby that suits you and brings you joy.  love as always,  sebastian
