Hobbyist

Apparently my hobby is to start hobbies. I have tried yoga, pilates, capoeira, ballatone, bailatino, afro, jazz, bollywood, n'dombolo, salsa, dance hall reggae and boxing.

The usual aerobic doesn't really count. That's just necessity when one studies or sits by the computer all the time.

So i started a new hobby. AGAIN. Oriental dancing this time. (You're not suppose to call it belly-dancing.) With this I will continue more than one term. The reasons why this is better than other dances I've tried:

• It's for real women (It says that in the EtnoFitness-site...)
• In our group there is people from different ages – I can continue when I'm an old lady
• It's groovy
• Music is great
• The teacher is fantastic
• It's good for you if you have backproblems
• It's demanding, but not too difficult
• It's sexy and curves are an advantage!
  

KNITTING is really my hobby. I've had some breaks in my time but we have long-term-relationship, me and the sticks.

The bestthing about knitting is that the results are concrete, it's a good counterbalance for studying. It's great when you can do stuff from colours you choose. And a self-made knit-wear is better quality than H&M. (I hope!)

And the real treat is that you can watch a lot bad TV and not feel bad about it because you are creating something at the same time.

NORDIC WALKING is also great. It's so dorky that I'm proud of doing it! And that we have a walking group among friends.

We can also continue this when we are old ladies. But I won't be doing nordic walking with my boyf. There has to be some limits.

It might sound like I'm a granny. My argument is that I wanna have hobbies which can stay with me for a long time. Continuity rules!

Knitting is kinda trendy now yeah? So in ten years nordic walking will be that too. I'm clearly a futurist...

What's your favourite hobby?
