what do you do for fun
Posted by Palin Freeborn on 02-05-2002 11:36 AM
I know you guys and gals are incredible writers and storytellers. Now I was curious about what you do in your free time (besides coming here). I'm an avid gamer and I spend a good deal of my time playing RPGs and other fantasy based games, such as the PC game Might and Magic 7. That has kinda inspired some of the writing I do here. Do you play video games? Or just have an over-active imagination? I'm interested in hearing your source of inspiration or whatever else.

I used to play fantasy and scifi war games, card games and roleplayers. ( I used to LARP a bit too).
I also play rugby, used to play basketball but its shite in Ireland.
I spend more time than should on the playstation and computer and I eat lots.
I have a small obsession with old sierra games.
Thats all i care to tell.

Free time...
Sometimes this term seems so strange...
Well, I spend a good deal of time working as a biomedical engineer. I'd be here more often were it not for my responsibilities to the profession...
I have played D&D most of my life, and some other individuals on the boards (namely K. Emerald, K. Onyx, and K. Top-ass) have participated in a three year campaign that continues to this day... Much of me is devoted to developing this story that we have committed so much of our time together creating.
I also play violin in a band, but, most of the time, my band screws me over (like losing my amp and refusing to reimburse me).
I spend another huge portion of my time loving my girlfriend. To me, it's a very important comittment.
And, when Keiru Top-ass can convince me, I also like to frizbee golf.
Other things: painting miniatures, ROLLERBLADING, paintball, ghost-hunting, eating at Hogmallet's Inn, playing Diablo II and Baldur's Gate II...

A lot of my free time is devoted to this site, and I love every second I sink into it.
Diablo 2 is another of my vices.. poor Vholm, may the barbarian spirits (and voice) guide his soul to the Arreat Summit.
Class eats my time too, but none eat more of my time than latin 4..
*thinks* Yeah, D&D is fun, when I can get into it. And, I've always had a personal connection to Mage: The Ascension as well. Vampire rules too.
And then there's the occational party night when all of my homeyz get together and drizzidrink our sizziselfes into issaoblivion.
Well, that about it, *pours Long Island Ice Teas for everyone* Bottoms Up!!!

In my free-time I enjoy committing myself to my theater and performing in musicals. I also enjoy drawing and watching anime.

Which Reminds Me...
I also devote alot of time to the artes of a Thespian (which also reminds me of my favorite video game line: "Thesbian?! I thought only girls could be thesbians?"(Swordsman Kyle in Lunar, Silver Star Story, after being congratulated on his acting by long time girlfriend on and off, the Priestess Jessica)), Plays and Musicals and all those. Under my belt, I've got all the degrading Elementary/Middle School Plays, The Policeman, Freddie, Karl, the only base in all the songs, Maude, and pretty much all the other non-lead male roles in Bye Bye Birdie, I forget who in Wild West Women, and am currently working on the role of "Mr. March" in Little Women.
Video games currently suck up alot of my time- I own a library of RPG's larger than any normal person should have. Current works are Final Fantasy X, Onimusha, and Dark Cloud.
And of course, there's Rune Aeterna...
Note: Thanks to Topaz for pointing out my error. The line by Kyle was spelled that way, so..

Heh...yeah I forgot to mention the site. I practically haunt the forums. ^^;
Anyway, musicals I have under my belt include The Music Man (teen dancer), Bye Bye Birdie(another teen dancer with solos and a few lines), The Mikado (Pitti Sing), Oklahoma (Giggling Gertie), and I'm currently rehearsing for HMS Pinafore and in that I'm a relative of Sir Joseph. (Basically ensemble)

Free Time
Free time? What's that? *looks around kind of clueless for a moment then grins*
Free time... h'mm. Okay, here's generally what I ca nbe found doing in my free time...
Reading
Writing
Singing

Writing
Listening to music
Writing
Image Editing
Writing
HTML Coding/Webpage Designing
Writing
Chatting (RPG)

Writing
Writing...
*eg*
I'm all over the MB's, namely, Delphi, in my free time. I run two games, one of which is quite a handful, LOL.
This board, although I'm currently (in another window, lol, multitasker that I am) working on the writeup for something for this board... but I do have to say, I am very relieved to find a board where flames do not abound, and disagreements between players are not all over the place... Delphi is sometimes rife with such things, and it is very refreshing to see that flames/arguments do not always go hand in hand with players.

Thesbian...?
Just so you know, it's thespian. I'm not sure if you were joking or not.
Nonetheless, in my free time, I like to hang out with my friends, play disc golf, and just relax. My schoolin' also takes a small as possible role in my life, even though my major is theatre. Now you'd think I'd be happy in my classes, but the U of Iowa doesn't really let me take theatre classes... strange, no? Anyway, in a few weeks I'm auditioning in St. Louis for Midwest Summerstock, so hopefully I'll get a job acting over break. Needless to say, I've been devoting a good deal of time getting my monologue down... I REALLY don't want to end up in a factory this summer.

Same here.........
I myself am a big fan of cinema. I have a thing about being on top of every new movie that comes out. I pride myself on my knowledge of many movies.

Fun....hmmmmm
Well I write song lyrics and I practice Sikaran (A form of martial arts).
I do sports like Basketball and Football, but not for any teams or anything, just play them with friends.
Skiing is also up there, need something to do during the winter season.

Sex??? Grrrr... my g/f lives 100 miles away. *sheds a single tear for Silver* Ok, since sex is out I'm going to go with anything that involves me doing nothing. I like listening to music, working on web design, and watching movies. And if there's a rave nearby, I'll actually get off my *** and do something. I like raves, I like them gooooood!

*raises an eyebrow*
A party boy, huh? Very nice!
*evil grin*
Raves are fun... at least until the man shows up...

Sex? Feh. I guess I'm one of the few males not interested in sex on any level. (If you don't beleive me, ask Orocia about one of our more interesting conversations.)
At any rate.. another thing I pass my time on is set construction for upcoming plays. The pay sucks (my high school's Theater class pays nothing but good grades, but the college gives minimum wage to non-college students like myself), but it's something to do while I wait to actually be in the play. Speaking of which, Little Women starts tomorrow. Wish me luck!

At least your significant other is within a reasonable driving distance, Onyx. *sulks*

Atleast you -have- a significant other, Ruby.
Not that I'm looking for one, but don't look a gift lover on the map.

*detects a hint of sarcasm* No need to be facetious Onyx.
But yes, distance sucks. T_T
