The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[Sophii]

I like to jog as a hobby.
When I was younger, all I'd do is walk around my cul-de-sac listening to System of a Down or Alice In Chains with my friend.

Other than that, making music is my favorite hobby

 

[no country for old wainds]

i religiously watch several sports and occasionally play them, obsess over music, play piano, watch+write about movies, play chess at tournament level, game, catch moths, birdwatch, read, binge watch TV shows, probably some other shit i'm forgetting. it's frustrating having so little time to pursue some of these things more thoroughly. part of me wants to commit a semi-serious crime so i go to jail and am forced to spend a year doing nothing but reading (and bulking my skinny ass up i guess).

I religiously played Devil May Cry 3 as a hobby.

I did some LARPing too when I was 16. That shit was pretty fun for the time

 

[no country for old wainds]

at least i kicked my counter strike addiction a few months ago which freed up roughly 2 hours per day lmao

 

[Sophii]

I've never played Counter Strike o: it any good?

Never really got into FPS genre.

I'm not an avid moth hobbyist, but I have an admirable taxidermy collection including a deaths head moth I purchased prepared. Beautiful specimen. Also a tobacco horn worm hawk moth I raised from a larvae. It was actually supposed to be food for my bearded dragon but I realized he was way too big when we got home so I kept him as a pet, he mothed, and enjoyed a pleasurable short life before joining the other moth on my shelf.

Long story short I would love to know more about your collection because fuckyeah.

Could just join the military. Get paid and stuff to do those things.

British prisons seem pretty brutal though.

Ha! Unfortunately I'm only third generation white Australian, but I wish I could claim the whole descended from criminals thing.

Slamming Sailor Jerry's spiced rum. Happy new year motherfuckers. Do greasy or illicit shit. Don't get caught though.

I've cut back already. Wanna drop 10ish and cutting alcohol is really the only way to do it since I rarely eat any sort of restaurant food or junk.

10 would be a good start for me. I want to drop 30+.

I dropped 40ish in ~6 mos couple yrs ago now by doing a modified Atkins and burning 1K+ per day in exercise while keeping total caloric intake minus 1k whatever I calulated burning (1k burnt over take in = 7k per week = 2lbs, and helps if calories taken are mostly protein). It was rough and had diminishing returns at the end but it's certainly doable in a year.

 

[Baroque]

Atkins works. It's bad for your heart and makes you feel tired all the time for the first couple weeks or month, but it works. Even with moderate exercise (hiking once or twice a week), I lost like 25 pounds in a summer (this was around 12 years ago now). You're young enough you should be fine.

Happy New Year. Less than 3 weeks until this motherfucker is sworn is as President:

Every so often I browse this site for people looking to make music and whatever, this is the weirdest ad I've seen in a while - http://www.joinmyband.co.uk/classifieds/female-available-t936289.html

It's weird coming across people that seem like they're actually stupid and yet are attempting things that you don't really associate with stupid people.

This past year was the first I've been strict about my diet. I'd never worried about my weight before until over the summer, when I noticed myself looking a bit chunkier. I bought a scale in July, weighed in at 169 lb, and watched myself go to 176 by September. That's when I stopped eating breakfast at McDonalds, and got rid of a few carb-heavy snacks at home. Later on I cut way back on sugary drinks, which started with replacing juice with tea at home. I was also careful about portions during holiday meals.

I'm 166 now. I still drink a lot of wine, and barely exercise, so it's not the strictest of weight loss programs, but it's working.
