Childhood hobbies

Hey guys im back

So what extracurricular activities did you partake in or your parents force you into when you were younger?

[Rowan]

I used to design houses from the inside to the backyard using birds eye view pencil sketches.

I used to draw and write comics about characters made of poop. I called it Mr. Poo. I also played soccer for a while. I was good at it, but I didn't have the personality or the patience to play a team sport. I also played basketball, but it was the same deal. I can't play team sports.

I was really into collecting things. I'd collect almost anything. I had buckets of cicada shells shed in the summer, Pokémon cards, Digimon cards, Tazos, OddBodz (still have these in a box), loved beach combing... etc.

It all fell apart when a) my Pokémon cards went through the washing machine and b) when mum opened a jar of decomposing starfish that I'd collected (I collected them months before they were decomposing, mind you, heh).

My mum put me in ballet & jazz classes. My brothers had karate lessons held at the same venue, right after my ballet lessons. I cried so hard whenever we got home because I begged her time n time again for me to do martial arts instead of dancing. But because of her I also did and excelled at gymnastics, I was always asked to do blackflips, round-offs, backward walkovers and the splits for friends, teachers at school, for drunk, rowdy adults at family bbqs, friends parties...*getting nostalgic

Also drawing and sketching on any blank sheet of papers I came across

I still play video games. 23 years later.

Eastwood reminded me my friend and I would make our own comics in the 3rd grade.

We called it Comic Wars.

I used to really like building things. My nana's ex-husband was a scaffolder and he used to take me with him on some of his jobs, and he built their (and eventually my mum's) back gardens and I always used to help him with it. My brothers used to stay inside playing their video games mostly, but I was always out there helping him lay the bricks and mixing up his concrete. My mum says she always thought I was gonna go into some sort of construction work :L. I think I would still enjoy enjoy doing that now. If ever there's some sort of furniture that needs to be put together, I'm usually the one doing it. Weirdly enough, I didn't have any Lego, but it seems like something I would've loved.

I drew and painted all the time (still do), everyone always used to ask me to draw them things in school. I also sang a lot (again, still do). Then eventually my brothers got me into video games.

[Unknown Entity]

I used to collect Dragon Ball Z cards. I had the biggest collection in school until my deck was stolen. Never discovered who took them, but then again, the school was uninterested in investigating something I shouldn't have had in school in the first place, sooo... I guess my mum was happy they were gone, if a little peeved - those gums you got with them were disgusting, probably full of sugar, and she hated Dragon Ball Z all together.

My mum got me and my brother to do karate when we were a kids. We enjoyed it, but we were really small compared to everyone else in there. We'd come home pretty injured for just practise sparring - it felt like we were being beaten up by a thirty-something year old sensei. It also started getting really expensive.

When we first got a PS One, me and mum would play Tomb Raider III a lot. It was my first video game. We spent a lot of time playing that together, and did most of the game without a guide the first time. In a way, she encouraged my gaming habit, haha.
