Hobbyist Friday Five

1. What are your hobbies?
Gaming, reading sf/f and romance, and some fanfic, doing web pages, my blog. I got into painting miniatures last year, but that has really waned. I also love playing, or watching my husband play, video games. And watching sf/f on TV (Buffy, Farscape, etc.).

2. Do you collect anything? If so, what?
Not really anymore. I used to collect "How did you meet your spouse/SO?" stories, before I got married. I never wrote them down or anything, but kept them in my head. I considered recently trying to do that again, and making a blog of it or web page or something. I used to collect action figures, but that was more of a "as I saw one I liked" basis, and I've dropped that habit. And I was collecting the Star Wars LEGO sets, but again, have dropped that. I probably will get some more of the new sets, though.

3. Is there a hobby you're interested in, but just don't have the time/money to do?
Painting miniatures. Collecting fantasy artwork. I could make the time to do the former, but I haven't, and I don't have the money to do the latter! I also want to write, but I'm not making the time for that. I may try to do something like NaNoWriMo this year, just to try.

4. Have you ever turned a hobby into a moneymaking opportunity?
Web design. Haven't actually made any money at it yet, and my interest in doing it for money is waning these days. And if I write, and sell something, maybe I'll be able to say yes, but then it won't be a hobby anymore, will it?

5. Besides web-related stuff (burbs, rings, etc.), what clubs do you belong to?
Some friends locally have a reading club, nicknamed FaRGoNE (Fantasy Readers Guild of New England), for us to talk about a book that one of us has picked every two months. This month's selection, not on the site yet alas (our webmaster is busy building his house), is Glory Road by Robert Heinlein. Lou's pick.

Other than that, I have no clubs or formal organizations that I belong to. Huh.
