I can't see any threads like this, so I thought I'd start one. Tell us a little bit about yourself and your interests

Do you play the violin professionally or as a hobby? Do you perform?
Where do you enjoy walking? (Walking track, beach, woods?) Why do you enjoy walking?
Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.

I play in a couple of amatuer orchestras.
I enjoy walking in most suroundings - why, I don't know, I was never any good at sport but can walk for miles. I don't like beachy holidays and tend to go on walking holidays.

I enjoy walking down by river on cool days in Fall or early spring, then it gets too hot for me. I like to ride my bicycle there too. I make my own beer, ale, and wines. I like gardening and grow herbs used for cooking and making beer and I like growing iris.

I'm in love with Renaissance history. I spent a chunk of today writing and am in the middle of reading a cookbook translation from the mid-1500s Rome. Love cooking; at least one of my kitchen disasters is now required reading for an engineering firm in the Midwest. I'm also about 3 cats away from crazy. I've been thrown out of a Shinto temple. I don't like scary movies. I love the Sims and like to think that I'm a way better God than God ever could be. I just realized that I've now been out of the fundie religion for half a lifetime. I can make really good ricotta cheese and blew up my kitchen yesterday doing it. I did mention I have dramatic kitchen disasters, right?

Let's see. I like reading. I really love a good detective story, but I haven't read one in a long time. I like movies. I know way too much useless random movie trivia. I like running. 110 pounds ago I started walking and eating right. Now I'm training for a half-marathon. I've never run on the beach, but next time I get a chance, I will. If I don't get a "runner's high" during the run (which I usually don't), I really enjoy the feelings I get after a good run. Side note, you never know how much energy you have left until a dog starts in after you.

Aaaaanyway....
My main interests are in my profile. I play football (soccer) and review sports stadiums semi-professionally. I also write entertaining sports stuff as a hobby. While I'm doing a bit of work for a print media company here, I prefer less formal work since I can better express myself. In the realms of the more obscure, I took up the Scottish pennywhistle a couple of weeks ago. If I can learn this piece I know I'll have made it:
One day I'd like to write a novel, but I can't see that happening within the next 10 years as I don't have the dedication to put that much effort into something.
God is the immemorial refuge of the incompetent, the helpless, the miserable. They find not only sanctuary in His arms, but also a kind of superiority, soothing to their macerated egos: He will set them above their betters.

I like trolling the internet, working on vehicles- or anything mechanical really, fishing, cutting up dead animals, shooting things, and eating lots of big, high-calorie food.
I also enjoy beer and/or margaritas on occasion, and talking about how smart I am.

I'm 49, a type I diabetic, single and never married. I love music, and am contemplating practicing up some songs and doing open mike nights around town. I love movies and have a particular passion for silent films. I don't read much anymore since my short vision is decaying with age and I'm in denial about it. I love the outdoors and don't get to spend nearly enough time away from the city. Life is getting better.

Wait, is that a good "runs" or a bad "runs"?
That was very lovely music! I love this place. I learn something new here every day. I played music as a child and did okay at it, but it's so daunting to learn it as an adult. I admire folks like you and Valk who can just do that.

<- ENTP with ADHD. I'm obsessed with learning about psychology, neurology, and physics. I enjoy hearing life stories from people I meet and I never get bored of learning and exploring new things.
I'm an artist, a runner, a writer, a senior psych student, and I'm very much in love with my bf
I love smiling, smiling is my favourite. I'm also certified to teach children how to shoot sharp projectiles through the air at fatal speeds into large targets, AKA archery!!

I work at a hospital, transcribing medical reports.
I've been studying clarinet for about 8 years and have My Royal Conservatory Grade 6 in clarinet. Next June I'm going to try for My Grade 8. I fell in love with community bands last year, and during the school year I play with 2 different bands. Currently I'm with a third band comprised of musicians who want to keep playing and performing through the summer.
I write novels -- Urban fantasy humour, mostly, with overlapping casts of characters.
I have a Dark Legion of cats, currently 7 felines strong.
And I like to work in the garden and renovate My home.

I used to love gardening but it's too damn hot for that anymore. I still enjoy planting a few veggies but after living in zone 8 for 15 years I still haven't figured out when to plant things so the heat doesn't kill them. Gardening is good exercise though, I need to get back to that.
Other than that I love cats, creating wordpress websites, and organizing and connecting freethinkers to rule the world.
That about it.

~Being involved in my community
~Writing (mainly scholarly, but also one work of fiction in progress)
~My dogs and my husband
Interesting factoid: When I first found Ex-C I was living in a small travel trailer in our backyard, due to an extensive historical home restoration that made habitation nearly impossible. I recall with fondness the late nights on my tablet, reading the forums and blogs, finding peace...
