Just wondering...

mudokon · #1 04-19-2004, 03:27 AM

Hi guys, I was just wondering..outside of Oddworld what do you guys like to do? I know it may be a lame question but I was just curious. Like, I like to take me doggy for a walkie (she's only a 4 month old golden retriever puppy!!(n_n) )read, do art, play instruments, meet friends, go to parties, cinema, listening to music etc... What do y'all like 2 do?

ClaireBear · #2 04-19-2004, 03:31 AM

Me?...

I like reading, salsa, socialising (ie going to pubs/clubs) following fashion... em?... hanging out with friends and my boyfriend.

The usual...

(Someone may warn you that this thread is on the wrong board... but don't worry about it okay!

mudokon · #3 04-19-2004, 03:39 AM

oh, sorry. salsa seems cool.

VaniLLaKiLLah · #4 04-19-2004, 03:55 AM

I'm working on my art studio that probably will come up in summer. I'm still going to school. After school I eat lunch, do my homework. Things I do also: lookin' round in some Forums, check e-mails, do arts, go shopping, cooking, listen to music, go to parties and drink alc.
umm yeah I think that's it so far...

Its okay M! It doesn't bother me... but some people in here are a bit... well... anal about it!

Salsa is cool! (I'm talking about the dance not the dip btw... where is Death with my Nachos!?

)

Its a great way to keep fit and socialise and in modern times you don't actually get to "dance" properly with a partner so it makes a real change.

Its name is a derivative of the word for "mix or blend" which is exactly what salsa is... its a mixture of many Latin sounds and dances... Rhumba, cha cha cha, merengue and evolved "on the streets" of Cuba so to speak... eventually gravitiating and recieving aclaim in the 1960's. It involves patterns of stepping (a basic/mambo) spins, turns, dips drops and individual "footwork" known as Shines. There are about 4/5 different styles but they are all interchangeable and we all tend to rub along quite nicely.

If you watch the BBC... the pre-programme dance scenes show salsa... its the one with the big hall and lots of couples doing basic, crossbody, turn into basic!!!!!

Sadly most Salsa classes are held in pub/club venues so they're not open to the under18's... but as its popularity spreads I'm sure that will change with classes being taught in dance studios etc.

That sounds cool, must be great execise too...You live in England too? So do I, I am from london, what area are you from?

paramiteabe · #7 04-19-2004, 04:05 AM

Yep this needs to be moved.

Other than that I generally love to do art as a liveing which I am a Free Lance artist.

Watch the Television, I love traveling aswell especially places really far from home. I love the ociean and spending a few days at sea is fun for me too.

Hanging out my mates.

Going to the movies eather by myself or with my mates. Mainly I generally go more by myself than with someone because sometimes people say oh I want to go but it never happens. So I don't even bother and just see a flick for myself. If anything I like best doing myself it would be going to the movies. Yeah I consider myself a loner at times though I wish I had diecent girl friend but I don't see that happening anytime soon!

I can think of more but I am too tired now.

mudokon · #8 04-19-2004, 04:07 AM

cool, I love going to the cinema too. paramitebabe, have you seen 'The House of Sand and Fog'? Its amazing and I would recommend it.

paramiteabe · #9 04-19-2004, 04:10 AM

No I haven't is it good? I am looking forward to seeing a film called The Day After Tomarrow. Its made by the same people whome did ID4. Independance Day.

I'm based in the NorthEast!

I live in a village between Newcastle (GeordieLand!) and Sunderland (MackemCountry!)

If you like the cinema... Dirty Dancing II "Havana nights" is due out soon! Its all salsa based... not that salsa is particularly steamy... although... yeah! it is

mudokon · #11 04-19-2004, 04:19 AM

Yes, it's a really cool film but very sad, depressing and suicidal but very relevant. It's about and Iranian couple that seek asylum in the USA and their hardship struggle and death and it also has Jennifer Connelly and Ben Kingsley in it too! i would say it's a must see but it's quite hard to find in the cinemas as it only released in the Uk and USA and its only exclusive to some cinemas.

paramiteabe · #12 04-19-2004, 04:23 AM

Hmm I would have to go and look around. I know in my area I have some diecent theaters so Ill most likely search.

Lee and I have a terrible trouble at not going to see films that totally depress us!

The other month it was that "8 grams"... we left the cinema and sat for 30 minutes in silence hugging our pints in the pub then had a huuge discussion concerning depression and death... I ended up in tears in the loo!!!!! That is an aweful film... really art house depressing...

This "Day After Tomorrow" sounds right up our street!

Esus · #14 04-19-2004, 05:19 AM

I like watching films. For the moment I would strongly recommend "Gothika". It's utter genius. And Halle Berry is in it.

mudokon · #15 04-19-2004, 08:36 AM

Yeah I saw an advert for Gothika. It looks really cool and it also features that song by Fred Durst in it. It looks like a must-see.

Disgruntled Intern · #16 04-19-2004, 09:55 AM

I like to:

make short films

paint

ink a local in-magazine comic

party

sculpt

swim

write

socialize

people watch

and of course, travel.

Hobo · #17 04-19-2004, 10:46 AM

I like:

Talking to my friends, both online and real. Who include: Max, Alcar, Fez, Red Muse and Spike.

Watching films. I enjoy violent stuff, comedy, stuff that makes you cry, and many other sorts.

Gaming: Going off this slightly, but I am currently enjoying UT 2k04

Moaning and bitching: Especially to my close friends (Tom, Henna, Martyn), I love you guys for putting up with me. I really do.

Making people I like feel better about stuff

Making people I hate feel worse about stuff.

Being miserable

Thinking: But not when I'm miserable, like now, it just makes me worse

Quips: I'm hardly ever not making one

Music: Chili Peppers, Muse, R.E.M., Avalanches, Royksopp, CoB (thanks Henna^^) and other stuff, not often mainstream stuff though.

My phone.

Being me. I am thankful for the stuff I have, Most of all, my great friends, but also my health, my family, my education, my not so great friends and many other things that I can't bother to remember.

As much as I bitch about it. I also like life. It's a beautiful thing, that only we possess. Yet we, as humans, are determined to destroy all of it, to remove the anomaly of life from the universe. Well I think it's deeply sad that we are determined to destory the most wonderous thing this universe posseses.

Silversnow · #18 04-19-2004, 11:08 AM

I like to read, write, draw stuff, watch the Simpsons and Family Guy, daydream, talk to myself, go out on short walks, sleep and dream.

SeaRex · #19 04-19-2004, 11:27 AM

I'm a big gamer-type person. Not really that big on Oddworld anymore... I've been playing Ninja Gaiden (Or as I like to call it: Ninja GODDAMN!!!) and UT2k4 (Hobo, I still don't have your tag foo'; Submit your UT name to me or die).

I go to local rock shows every now and then, but not very often. Knoxville has virtually no venue.

I'll watch anime with my fellow geeks sometimes. However, there really haven't been any animes out there to catch my attention since FLCL. I'm still saving up for Habane Renmei.

"Indie" comic books. Part of it is the geek in me, part of it is the artist...

Speaking of "art," I like to draw. The only problem is I'm slow... and lack motivation... and self-esteem. Still working on a comic all by my lonesome. I plan on taking a class in 2-D animation this summer.

Hurray for significant other-ness. It may sound tacky, but I've been seeing her for about a year and a half.

Typical geek parties.

ClaireBear · #20 04-20-2004, 02:07 AM

Ooooh! I forgot!

When I'm not here doing this or at work I also like to cook ( and clean!... bit of a freak about that!)

Indian, thai, chinese, italian I can cook almost anything!

I also like gardening... at the moment i'm waiting for my purple standard tulips to come out and my day-lillies are coming on greatly... problem is I can't remember if they're white or yellow and if they're yellow they're going to bugger up my colour scheme!

CJ's gone soft

So sweet of you...

Anywho,

Normally I:

Listen to music (Muse, CoB, Aerosmith, Metallica, Apocalyptica, Iron Maiden...and so on...)
Draw
Go out with my friends
Go pimpin' around the town with my scooter

*ahem*
Chat with my friends on MSN
Fool around
Bitch
Laugh
Make an idiot out of myself
Laugh at Mark---erm---my friend because he cut his hair and now his head looks like a watermelon.
Do pointless stuff
Smoke
Go shopping
Read trend magazines and think that I should lose weight
Laugh at other unfortunate people
On fridays, I usually go get pissed
Paint
Look at old photos
Make stupid and completely pointless phone calls

Yay me^^

DarkHoodness · #22 04-20-2004, 04:12 AM

My free time consists of the following:

1. Sleeping. Sleep is important.

On average I get about 9 hours a day.

2. Spending time with my friend, Matt, playing PSX/PS2 games. Currently we're working through Breath of Fire III and Grand Tourismo 3.

3. Talking to my friends online. They're also very important to me, although they all come from Furcadia now, instead of from here.

4. Spending time on Furcadia. Although I don't do much on there, just hang out in FurN and talk to my friends. . . Last week I hosted a wedding in my dream, though, which was sort of fun.

5. Playing games.

Now that I have my new Radeon 9800 Pro, most of my games work again!

So I spend a lot of time playing games. . . Currently I'm working through the PC version of GTA: Vice City, while sometimes playing Unreal Tournament 2004. When I get broadband this week I'll be playing UT2004 and Half-Life (steam) online. . . Getting my arse kicked should be fun. And of course I'm always up for the monthly LAN party which my friend's hold. . .

6. Watching TV. Although I don't tend to watch too much.

My working time consists of:

1. College. Currently I'm studying a level 2 programming course in South East Essex College, UK, which isn't interesting.

2. Maintanance gardening: Pays £5 an hour around a friends place. Mostly clearing brambles and hard manaul work. I haven't been working recently, though.

Overall it seems I'm a pretty boring and anti-socail guy, being satisfied with very little, although my life never seems to be boring because there's always stuff going on. Random events seem to appear out of nowhere, be it funerals, family gatherings, walks, mentally ill old women terrorising my family members, kids lighting fires in the woods, or other stuff.
