Polls: Hobbies & Leisure

I keep seeing it all over the place, this idea that you can’t do something even though it’s within your control. For example, someone who says “I can’t afford to have a hobby!” There are plenty of hobbies that don’t cost money. “I can’t work! Nobody’s hiring!” Yes they are, if you really, truly need money then you can find a job, you’re just not looking everywhere. “I can’t get a boyfriend/girlfriend!” Yes, you can. You just need to get out of the house more and make an effort.

I don’t know, it just ticks me off to see so many people act helpless and refuse to believe otherwise. You can do anything, be anything, you just have to put in the effort. And yeah, it’s hard sometimes, but if you really want something then it’s worth it.

I've a few of these type and mostly use them for outdoorsie stuff. I call them hip bags but they go under lots of names.

A Cèlildh (Scottish) or Cèili (irish) is a type of barn dance popular at social functions such as weddings. In Cornwall, it's known as a Troyl and in Wales it's a Twmpath, which conveniently also means a hump. But Cèlildh is acceptable everywhere. The American equivalent is probably the hillbilly hoedown.

Some people like them, others are filled with dread at the thought. So have you been to one and how do you feel about them?
