I came to love skateboarding since I was a child and it's a lifelong passion. I have this old picture from when I was 13 or 14, I think. It's the only one I have since I've always been rather camera shy (kind of to my regret now; I wish I took more pictures when I was younger and could do the biggest tricks). Ended up making a small article in Thrasher magazine since I won the contest, although my pads were falling off since I had to borrow some oversized ones to enter.

Unfortunately I might have to consider quitting soon. I just ended up tearing a ligament in my ankle around New Year bailing from an air to the flat-bottom and my knees are getting really messed up from taking so many falls (had to drain them of fluid multiple times). I've also broken so many bones and get painful arthritic flares from time to time.
I've also always enjoyed drawing and painting since childhood. Unfortunately I lack pictures of most of my paintings and had to throw them away when I moved. But I started to take up digital painting like this competing in Oekaki speed sketches:


I favor a scribbly or painterly style that lets me draw things really fast although I rely on people's eyes to blend the colors since manually blending takes me a long time.
Also like to make music on my keyboard starting from childhood (I needed to make music for the video games I made and lacked the resources to hire a musician) although I'm not very good at it. I only recently started learning music theory. I have this one song which is the first song I tried to record when I think I was 9 or 10. The sound quality is really bad (recorded it on cassette tape) and it probably contains a lot of mistakes in terms of functional harmony. I just sort of winged it and tried to record what sounded okay to my ears back then.
Ouch! Hope you can get out of it.
I’m currently fending off a very stupid idea to start playing semipro football again, lmao, and football was my biggest thing growing up. I do play ice hockey now, and I only played street hockey as a kid, but in some senses I’m doing the full-on version of a halfway-hobby from childhood. Living a dream is more like it, haha.
My ATTEMPTED hobby is original Nintendo. I wasn’t a HUGE gamer as a kid, but definitely did a good amount of it like most 80s kids. I just preferred going outside and playing sports. I remember being really mad when Final Fantasy first came out, because no one would come outside and play sports with me😂 But I just bought a modded NES Classic that has all the OG games, it has the original style controller…. and I’ve played like an hour of it since I got it two months ago, lmao. I’ll get to it, though😝
Lmao, never stop bowling😝
Would you believe I haven’t ever played Wii before? Just never knew anyone who owned one. But my half-brother has special needs and lives in a home with others like him. I took him out for the day with my dad, and in his conversation, he says “we’ve been boxing. I knocked my opponent out in the second round.” I’m trying not to freak about it in front of him, but he legit had me thinking they had the special needs folks boxing each other, and my bro is like 6’5 lmao. So I’m fuming, ready to call the state mental health department, like “what the hell kind of operation are you running?” And then he finally mentions that it was Wii Boxing, and I’m like “ohhhhhhhhh, thank god, that makes WAY more sense.” I was afraid they had some awful gambling thing going on there and making the residents fight each other💀💀💀
Hell yeah!!! You’re gonna dust me though, I’m a rookie😅
But yeah, handle your Chris Hansen stuff, that’s the real work that needs to be done🫡
Oh boy…. I think I’m in trouble😅
Learning languages. I speak French, Arabic, English, Korean & my mother tongue. 5 languages. I am grateful that I was smart enough to invest in languages in a young age.
Are you really a Djibouti person?
yeah ☺️ there's this place called adventure rock where i went rock climbing when i was 9 and i still go there to ☺️
its a lot of fun ❤️ there's 3 different tracks so like easy medium and hard so everybody can have fun even if you never ever rock climbed before ☺️
yeah 😊 now i do the hard orange track all the time because the other 2 are to easy lol 😂
“How can I look up that rock adventure place”
Look at rock adventure places in your area. You don’t need to be in her area. Nor does she have to tell you where she is. You are a stranger on the internet. That is the last thing she needs.
You do understand as a moderator, and a woman, I look for this. You don’t seriously think that I haven’t been through some predatory shit. I am not accusing you, yet. You are getting close.
Use fucking Google dude. Get a rock course in your own location. Can’t be hard. You are 18. You can travel. No need to ask her again. That is my final warning.
How about you just stop responding to an underage girl on my question for starters? Don’t argue semantics. Just stop. Go bother the over 18 girls about where to rock climb which you can look on google for. Why are you even discussing this on her opinion. Says a lot. I have about had it.
"no no I only came here to meet her to tell her it's unsafe to do this"
yeah why don't you just have a seat...
thanks for the mho maya ☺️❤️

I love jigsaw puzzles. I used to make puzzles a lot as a kid with my mom. And every now and then I'll find a new one when I go shopping and just buy it. Then during some quiet time at home I'll sit down, play some light music and just piece it together
I like to ice skate if that counts.
I did that since I was young.
I play piano. I also weave baskets, DONT laugh! 😂 I’ve been collecting Longaberger baskets since I was little, so when I was around ten, I decided to try to make one.
Gaming and most sports it's just the time and effort it takes today to do sports feels like a lot more today than it used to because there's a lot of other things in my life.
I play The Sims if that counts as a hobby.
"Dag-dag!"
Classic 😁 I enjoyed that game 🎮
I have two. Messing about with computers and digging up my ancestry.
Building, reparing, and using in my work as a research engineer.
Used to love playing under the hood of an old Atari 800 when I was in junior school. Making it do things beyond its designed capability.
Thanks!
@Jessica405 You are digging up your ancestors?
@exitseven Metaphorically. Tracing my ancestry. My brother and I have been workingbon it for years
@Jessica405 very cool
Painting when I only have time. But only preparing the workstation takes at least half an hour. Cleaning takes over an hour. To create something, you need at least two to three hours. I rarely have enough time for that.
I still enjoy board, video games, table top RPGs, lifting weights, and riding bikes like I did when I was a kid.
I have been collecting music for as long as I can remember.
Writing and reading :D
I don't think it will ever change. I love the words too much
Yes: guitar playing, fishing, and I still have a small coin collection.
I have many other interests I still like from my childhood, but most of them are outdoor activities and pastimes that I don't really consider a "hobby", per se.
@_maya_ Same... Except for the girl part. lol 😂😊 Nature is where my soul comes alive. 💙 It's where I always go to feel at peace. What kind of outdoor activities do you like? 🙂
@_maya_ Neato! 🙂 I've never been on a jet ski before. They do look like fun though! I remember back in the early 90s when me and my mom took the ferry across Lake Erie to the Ohio side there were jet skiers who rode the wake behind the ferry for miles. Some of them got some pretty decent air too. I just stood at the stern of the boat and watched them. lol But outdoor activities I like to do are: walking, hiking, camping, fishing, cycling, canoeing, nature photography and gardening. Pretty much anything to do with the outdoors and I'm a happy camper. 😊 Quite literally sometimes. ⛺️😂 But that's one thing I love about canoeing and hiking is getting into areas where there are no people and it's just you and the natural surroundings all around you. Love it.
@_maya_ Ha! I'm on Lake Ontario! 😛 And despite being on the Canadian side, Allegheny National Forest is only about a 2 1/2 hour drive from me! 😄 Sounds like you're further east, but have you ever rode the wake from the Leamington-Sandusky ferry?
@_maya_ Wow, it must be nice to know people in the keys to get away from the cold sometimes! I have an aunt in Sarasota, but I haven't seen her in years! 🤭
@_maya_ Ah, I see. Still pretty sweet though! 🙂 I'm sure your girlfriend will love it. I've never been to The Keys, let alone Florida itself! 😯
@_maya_ Oh? Are there tons of islands, reefs and coral and whatnot? I've never heard of that though. I'll have to look that up!
... Ohhhhhh! I think I have seen that!
@_maya_ Haha. Cool! I'd like to see if it's not too much for you to share! 🙂 That kind of reminds me of the 50,000 Islands area of Georgian Bay on the Canadian side of Lake Huron. There are islands and very shallow obstacles EVERYWHERE there. It's an endless labyrinth of rock and there are many areas where it is complete unnavigable by boat, and can only be accessed by canoe or kayak. Many pleasure craft have sunk there. It's also a very remote and uninhabited area, so you have to be really careful when navigating there. The scenery there is gorgeous there though. Maybe I'll have to share some pics of there too! 😉
*completely unnavigable
@_maya_ Awww, thanks. You seem nice too. 😊 At your leisure, here's a photo album of the 50,000 Island area and parts of Georgian Bay in general. It's a local photographer's album on Flickr. There's about 8 pages of pics though, so you can just quickly scan through them to get a feel for what that area is like. There's some really neat rock formations there too. Some of which are volcanic. The trees can also look really whimsical as well because they are so windswept...

@_maya_ No worries at all! Have fun and chat later! 🙂
@_maya_ Hiya! Just checking in. You said you had some pics to share of the reef around the Keys area? No worries if you don't want to, but I'd love to see them if you're still up to it? 😊 by the way, did you manage to check out the pics of the 50,000 Islands area of Georgian Bay in the link I shared? Regardless, hope you're havin' a good day! 🙂
@_maya_ Okie-dokie! 😊
Franco-Belgian and other mostly European comics. Tintin, Asterix, The Smurfs...
Gaming although it's probably more a addiction then hobby
Singing if it counts
It doesn't cost anything, you can do it anywhere, brings people together.
Yes. I read a lot. Like really a lot. Over the past 10 years alone it's well over 1500 books. And that's because of kindle unlimited
Agreed. I read both by the way, I read e books on Kindle and physical paper books too. My home collection in my office is well over 3000 books, all have been read.
My grandfather taught me to read at the age of 2.
Scifi/fantasy followed by horror and then mystery
My depression aside. I'm still a lover and collector of Bratz dolls. I also still play the sums and the wii :)
What's your favourite game?
Haha yes lol! What about your TV? Did it never get injured also 😂
Lol. I remember breaking several TV as a kid. Ironically the wii remote never broke 🤣
Ah yes memories 🤣
Watching some old shows from childhood sometimes or old memories 🙂
And some other ones from now on YouTube even someone's bootlegged or officially uploaded at some year or another. Not just cartoons, some are live action or stop motion. Mostly British or American
I enjoy singing and listening to music since i was 3 back in 1988 or 1989 till this present day 2024 miss bartender maya 😌
Why not miss bartender maya, i'll be happy as long as i'm seeing you smiling and being comfortable but make sure that my cocktail doesn't contains alcohol because i don't drink alcohol at all, a cocktail from fresh fruits is yumy or pepsi is good 😁
What matters is to be happy 😌
You're a wonderful person miss bartender maya, thanks for being nice 😊
You're welcome 😌
My only hobbies when I was young were baking and reading, both of which I still enjoy, and I've definitely added more on over the years
I make a plethora of different cookies and I love trying new flavors
Why is that terrible? I love seeing people enjoy the food I make!
Weight is just a number, you are an amazing young woman, inside and out
Always a pleasure 💜
I've always been drawing things from construction sites to builds and cars still do to this day. I can draw people
If fishing is considered a hobby? Then that is still mine.
Movie making and travelmanning. And writing a little bit
I like to think I'm still pretty young, but yes, I have many many hobbies that I've continued to practice well into adulthood.
My favorite activity from childhood that I still enjoy is Hiking. Whenever I have time{usually on the weekends} I'll take a nice long hike around state parks and trails with my dog.
Extensive long daydreaming, running through sprinklers, doing crafts with my mom, pumpkin carving, video games, etc.
Dancing. I always did some kind of dancing. I started balet as a child and while I did switch from time to time I still dance as a hobby.
Yes I´ve been a book worm since my youth, I can´t watch a series or a movie based on a book if I haven´t read the book before.
Drawing comics, writing stories and playing D&D (1st edition).. since 1977!!
Yup video games. been gaming since the 80s lol
I loved paintballing as a kid I wish I still had time to go with a group of buddies on a Saturday sometimes
Getting hit in the balls is the worst 😭 Girls can we’re chest pads to block getting hit in the boobs, one of our buddy’s sisters like to go with us she always had a lot of fun.
*wear
I play video games mostly chill at the beach.
All my hobbies I have liked since I was young and honestly nothing has been added to that list
Mine have never changed. So yeah all of them.
Do you wanna write to me privately? Your so beautiful.
Oh, thats to bad. Is your mom by any chance single and into girls?
Fair enough. I hope I didn't offend you.
If your mad you can give me a massive wedgie and pull down my pants in a very public place as revenge?
Are you there dear?
You think its messed up?
How so?
Guys dont do that either, lol
Of course, I enjoy video games, just like two old guys on the picture above.
Yes I still build plastic models of vehicles.
Videogames mostly though now it's less then when I was a little kid and teenager.
Sure, all of them. I still hike, bike, camp, play tennis, etc.
it rhymes with cornbub
drawing, reading, fighting.
of course it is, da vinci didn't draw mona lisa at his first try you know lol. it is an effort thing, it is more about hard work than a talent thing, unlike singing which is more of a talent thing than hardwork (since i have no education on it but i am still sing good enough that no said anything about my voice aside from compliments even my male friends) while i didn't had any education on drawing either but i was doing for fun for all these years and became decent at it eventually.
Listening to vinyl/shopping for vinyl🥰
They tolerate me🤣
I have three. I like Motorcycles, Coin collecting and playing music.
Yes, I grew up taking a lot of different dance classes and competing. Last year I bought myself some new equipment to get my toddler into it. We’ll be doing lots of Polynesian dancing and color guard stuff this summer.
Astronomy. I still have a telescope.
Reading, videogames
That's awesome. I've been medically barred from video games since December 2023.
I'm in remission from brain cancer but still get seizures. I had barely a month between them, that my doctor thought it would be a good idea.
Yes. Riding motorcycles and sex
Yes. Reading. I'll never stop
I collect pokemon cards
I will always love video games and art.
That was fun. My little sister loved that, and my mom was able to have fun with it too.
Oh yea Skateboarding, Drawing, playing guitar
Reading and eating😂
Woodworking, building with my hands….
I started out building display cases for my ex-wife’s dolls and then toy boxes for my kids. I am in the process of a side buffet and hutch. Similar to this one.
