So after you're done listening to the F Plus on your F Plus branded headphones, drinking your F Plus k-cups, eating discount F Plus sardines and staring lovingly into the eyes of your F Plus dakimakura, what else do you guys do? I know that Lemon's tithe really cuts into spending money, but maybe your like me and you find enough pennies in the gutter to pick up a few hobbies and cultivate a few passions.
Personally, I fix and build all sorts of stuff. I absolutely love bicycles, especially old road bikes. Sometimes I wrench on my truck, other times I get really into carpentry and wood working. I could go on, but I don't want to be the one guy bragging about how he goes outside without mom's permission (which I can doas long as I'm back before my curfew and I stay on this side of the tracks)

I'm an art student, so I have school stuff to deal with, and I'm admittedly pretty bad at "real life" stuff. I guess the only other thing of note outside of general comics/animation/etc nerdery is that I like sculpting as a hobby and have made several things in sculpy and sculpted off of/painted a few munnys (I have one of Cherry from Studio Killers that's been sitting around for a while), and I occasionally dabble in dumb doll modding stuff. I bought a couple of MLP dolls when the show first started and got half-through modding them (I finished one and never finished the other two), and recently I bought a couple of monster high dolls to repaint and mod as well. I have a terrible weakness for dolly things.

I've built a few guitars (from scratch), a few synthesizers and amps (from kits), and some guitar pedals (from scratch but using existing designs). I spend as much time as I can working on music, and do freelance jobs as much as possible (editing and mastering for Blackstone Audio last year, music researcher for Rovi for 7 years before that). Because of a series of tax scandals and mergers most of Blackstone's east coast freelancers were cut off this year, so right now I work part time at "the 9th most beautiful library in the world" and live off a dwindling savings for as long as I can manage it, because I haven't been this productive in a decade and the longer I can go without working full time the more productive I get. Lately I've started getting more interested in live video and am just beginning to learn VVVV (http://vvvv.org). It's pretty easy to understand so far because it largely follows the Max/MSP interface paradigm, which is really straightforward, but it's still a lot of stuff to learn and practice with. I give it maybe a year of work before I'd expect to start developing any real voice in it.
Socially I just do the usual stuff, hang out with people, spend a weekend with my family every month or two. Most of my friends are musicians and artists so its kind of the same stuff I do on my own a lot of the time. Most of the friends I made since I mved here left the state about a year ago so my circle's smaller than usual but I've been so involved with my own projects this year that I've been kind of slow about going out and socializing with people I don't already know. Now that fall's here and the weather isn't unbearable anymore that should change.

Legal research. House renovations (always something new to deal with! last night I found black mould in my basement bathroom! thanks previous owners for thinking wooden baseboards in a basement bathroom against an exterior wall as a good idea!). I have a large husky-lab mutt so a lot of time goes into walking and training her. Videogame and comic nerd shit. Some major theatre venues in big cities have started providing live satelitte streams of plays and operas, so I'm able to scratch that itch (Streetcar Named Desire this week, woop woop). Wrapping scale replicas of Roy Orbison in clingfilm.

I'm desperately looking for a job and doing some business studies on the side. Still waiting for the day when "using Google to find weird shit online" is a viable career option.

I'm unemployed, I consume nerd shit like videogames and anime, and I occasionally play classical piano, but I don't a have a piano that really works now since my 10 year old Electric piano is only partially working and the synthesizer I have for doing music stuff on my computer is kind of too small to play full pieces.
I do have some issues I need to sort out with the company I did my national service through and I want to study in university so I have to probably redo some of my matriculation exams from high school and do uni entrance exams.

I do receiving and quality assurance for an online shipping business part-time and am returning to college (after getting an associate's) to get all the requirements for a dietetics internship. I also write things sometimes, and am climbing my way out of the gross nasty pit that is clinical depression.

I work for a major airline as a passenger service agent. This means I throw luggage around and get yelled at a lot. I also fly for free, so I can't really complain.

yeah but do they make you pay for your luggage and how good are the free seats

Post by: I, EmmaGhost on September 18, 2014, 07:12:46 pm
I get at least one bag free (two bags on the airline I'm employed with) and I'm on a standby status, so I get whatever seat is leftover. Might be a middle, might be okay. Might be first class.

But do you really fly on airplanes with faces? I demand an answer.
I work in a hotel running events and helping out with the bar. I also like to drink lots of wine and explore the neighborhoods around my apartment, especially when it's not deathly cold outside.

I'm a law student, I work with security and until yesterday, I was a lay judge and juror in the district court of Oslo. When I'm not nerding I like to drink, ski, watch movies, and attend dance classes with my girlfriend. Also, I will kick anyone's ass at quiz night. sometimes

A law student? Oh goodie, I have here some absolutely genuine legal advice from an expert. He tells you how you can not get arrested by a cop.
And this probably could be used on cops too. I'd ask a cop:
'Are you acting on constitutional or private authority?'
If he said truth, he'd say 'private', so I could demand to see the contract. If he said 'constitutional authority', then I'd give him a copy of this writ of discovery to fill out :-)
The way I see it, is that if you accept cop's authority over you without question, you can't later argue that he didn't have the authority over you. But if you challenge that authority (non-violently) by asking him to fill out the Writ of Discovery, and he doesn't, then he's in DISHONOR, and you could argue later that the arrest or fine were UNLAWFUL, since he acted without lawful authority.
One could even send the Writ of discovery to his local police dept. before any run-in with police, to determine their lawful authority.

I tried to find out just what the heck a "writ of discovery" is and I found this
Writing is "spelling", casting spells, as has been executed upon the masses for domination and control.

Random info: The truth is usually hidden in plain sight that is why so many people cannot see it. Everything is cleverly done. For instance: Hollywood "Where Stars Are Made" is actually a type of wood used in ancient times to cast spells. Why do you think they call it a "Casting Call" for the casting process? Then the "Stars" in Hollywood "Fall" in the City of Angels. Why do you think they call your departure zones at airports "Gates?" Because you fly and travel through a stargate through the "Star Alliance.". Why is writing words called "spelling?" Because words are not supposed to effect you so deeply but they are spells that can alter your mentality like a curse such as cursive. Media names such as "The Gaurdian" "Lionsgate" etc once again taken from ancient history. Pay especially close attention to movies and childrens cartoon movies. They tend to reveal the truth in plain site for especially those. When you're able to connect the dots you'll know which specific films reveal stuff. There are plenty. So next time you're out start paying closer attention to all the ads being blasted into your subconscious daily. You'll be more in control as opposed to being programed. Knowledge is Power. If it wasn't then why do you think so much of it is kept from you? The media means to hypnotize you. Time to wake up.

I' a unemployed guy with no interest in sports in Australia, so I'm basically a full-time Hitler.
I roleplay on MMOs a lot, unsurprisingly. I used t be big into City of Heroes, but when that shut down I moved to The Secret World. I occasionally jump on Champions Online too, but the RP scene that isn't much to my liking.

Two of a kind, though currently looking for work as a structural engineer after uni, Unfortunately I graduated a few years too late, after the massive boom in jobs around 2009. But yeah in order to avoid the full time Hitler situation you just need to take note of who likes sports and then avoid them like the plague.

Just for clarity, we do have freemen on the land-type crazies over here too. In fact (I want to say it was yesterday?), a woman declared her house and the land she owned as a separate state. She refused to pay her mortgage and taxes, and called her new state "Niceland". She also went to our esteemed princess' (who has renounced her ties and claim to royalty) angel-school, called "Astarte Education". So yeah. Crazies be crazy.
Also in case it wasn't clear, Märtha Louise, the princess in question, is also fucking bonkers. And that's a lèse-majesté, though technically not because she's renounced her title or whatever.

"IT tech" in a recycling center. I just fix computers and other junk that comes my way or spend the day groaning and staring at my monitor. When I'm not doing that, I just play video games all day long or spend the day groaning and staring at my monitor.
