CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

hey guys just had a family night at my house. We danced, we had lasagna, and we watched Wild Hogs. Anyways, I was just thinking about when we were dancing, and i was wondering what kinda hobbies do you guys have?

I personally dance Salsa and Merengue, which are spanish dances we dance down here in miami. I'm actually taking classes too. Its really fun and there are alot of moves that are clean that you can dance to. (you just gotta know where to look to learn them though of course.) I also like to draw, sing, and write. I play Maple Story online when I'm bored and I like to chat in this christian anime place called CAA. The people are really cool there. lol.

Anyways enough about me how about you guys. what do you do?

I play Maple Story as well <3

I also sing and write

I love to draw and also love to sing on the side. I'm kind of hoping my art will become important to my career in the future, but singing is just something I do for intrinsic value (not that art isn't, it's just different XD).

I love everything that has to do with art almost to the point of being a little manic about it. I love drawing manga, writing, music and messing around with an RPG Maker called RMXP. In music, I play typical instruments: guitar, drums, bass and I try my best at singing. I used to play the trumpet and I doodle on the piano sometimes.

I don't dance, though. I think that's cool that you dance. :3

I like to go shooting, draw some, sing when no-one can hear me, play guitar, bass, and piano, play the odd video game, look at amusingly captioned pictures of cats [lol, cats], dream about cars I will never be able to afford, and one day I'd like to learn how to waltz better and swing dance worth a fig. I'd also like to start learning to make chainmail, throw knives or shuriken or or something pointy and metal and take up Brazilian Jiu-jitsu [yes, the proper Japanese spelling would be jutsu, but that's how they spell it] and kickboxing.

Gaming with friends, as well as miniatures painting (e.g. http://www.rackham-store.com/boutique/liste_rayons.cfm). Obviously, I also like to read.

Let's see hobbies.....music (composition, and listening), video editing, martial arts, racing, amvs.....I seriuosly used to have a lot more (was really big into NASCAR as a kid)...where did those days go....?

Drawing, painting, video editing, climbing on all sorts of things (though I'm still kinda scared of hights), goofing around, theorizing and debating, studying the paranormal ie; cryptozoology, lost civilizations ect...And cooking as well.

Oh my, how'd I forget this earlier? XD

I also LOVE acting in plays. I prefer musicals (as I said earlier, I do love to sing XD), but I enjoy it either way. XD

Cosplay is my #1 hobby, easily. I used to be casually into it before I got invited into a handful of cosplay groups, so now it takes up a lot of my time. ^_^ I've learned a lot and made a lot of friends, and I'm really happy to devote time to my costumes.

Among other things, I also collect Asian ball-jointed dolls and anime figures, write, take pictures, dabble in making graphics and websites, and role-play. And if ranting on LJ is a hobby, then yeah, I do that too.

Gaming is my number one hobby, though I probably spend less time on it than I used to. I enjoy music, writing, and I dabble with game design.

I'm currently taking acting classes as I'm going to make acting my main career.

1. Video Games
2. Comics
3. Anime & TV shows
4. Role Playing
5. Thinking (may be more of an addiction)
5. Sewing (Relatively new hobby)
6. Going to local concerts
7. *blink* ....Fashion... design? (I love creating outfits to wear, and this is the only term I could come up with.)

umm, writing, playing and listing to music, hanging out with friends, animales, umm, video games, DDR, hanging out with family, singing, and umm, I guess that's it,...I think...maybe...

Writing, composing music, drawing... heh, if I had enough free time, I could do my own anime!

Fishing, also, but only on vacation, when I head up to Colorado or such. There's no decent fishing for non-boat-owners in the Dallas area.

I have this addiction too. The upshot is that it's useful when I need to be creative. More often than not though I tend to overthink/overplan things far more than necessary.

Wow!!! so many wonderful artists and musicians (and just greate hobbies in general) here. You guys encourage me so just by knowing that there are so many of you here that share the same passion for the Lord and our hobbies lol. I was actually a little down when i wrote this but I feel alot better now.

P.S. Sorry if it seems like I'm having A.D.D here. Its just that there are alot of interesting hobbies here, and I had questions for a couple of them, so that's why it may seem like i'm skipping between them. Sorry.

P.S.S If you don't see a comment from me about yours don't worry I'm trying my best, but right now its 3:00 A.M. and i have to sleep. Gots work tommorrow in the Morning. Also, here is a link to a vid on youtube of a Special type of organized dance Salsa called Rueda.

Salsa Rueda

Now the people you see here are probably either professionals or students of some studio, but that's basically what Rueda is. Usually where u see this being done is at 15 year old's quince (kind of a hispanic equivalent to a sweet 16's). It's danced with about 9-11 of here closest friends (she herself is included in the dance making it an even 10-12 dancers or about 5-6 couples minimum). It was really hard to find some just 1 couple dancing but then I found this and I was like YESSSS!!!!!! NOW I CAN SHOW MY FRIEEENNDSS!!!! See how much love I got for you all. ^-^ lol I'm sorry but I just have alot of fun with Ruedas so I like them alot.

Now back on to your regularly scheduled program.

EDIT:Sorry for the double post just thought it would be better if I break this up a bit.

Really? Tell me your character's name so I can buddy you. Mine is Chainwalker. Also, my bro is making a guild called The Knights of Legend if you wanna join (it's not fully funded yet but we're close! ^-^). The founding 6 six of us who decided to start this are mostly christian so I'm hoping we can use this as outreach (knowing that i've already invited a couple who I'm not sure if they're christians.) Hoping for God's best here!

Lol, Thanks. Oh, and most of the stuff I draw is manga too lol. Is the RPG Maker hard to use? I've never tried it myself. Is there a link for it?

As far as Salsa, well it's actually really easy once you get the rythym down. I have a link up on the top of my post here that has a vid of people dancing a special type of group salsa If you wanna check it out. It's fun.

lol At least they get the word right in the enlish Naruto episodes. I've never heard of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu before though? I'll have to check it out on Youtube. lol

By the way, what do you shoot? do you do archery or guns? I do archery once in a blue moon when my bros feel like it. me likes archery . Also,amusingly captioned pictures of cats huh? just makes me think of that pokemans thing I saw on one of the pics here lol.

oh and bye the ways, I saw a Shelby Cobra today. Talk about dream car huh??

Wow, those are some wicked miniatures! I knew someone who used to do that too, and I've got to say that takes alot of patience to do. That's a really cool hobby, Techno.

haha your not the only one bud. lol, on another point sometimes just thinking is a great way to relax. I get deep sometimes in thought and it's actually very relaxing to me to just be thinking about life and God and such, very relaxing indeed.

I shoot guns, but I'd like to get a compound bow and learn to shoot it someday. My college has an archery elective, so . . .

Yeah, they're a lot like the "pokemans" picture.

The Cobra's a beautiful car. I'd like to restore and soup up a '68-72ish Nova . . . maybe with an LS7 engine from the latest Corvette Z06 if the money is there.

My biggest hobby is photography. I like taking nature and landscapes, mostly. I've also been trying to learn a little street photography. I have pictures at http://www.jimrogers.info. :-p

My other hobbies are writing, bass guitar, and music. I don't listen to a lot of mainstream stuff. I list to bands that not everyone listens to - stuff that's more unique.

I have also been learning Japanese for the last two years or so. I hope to be a missionary of some sort in Japan one day.

I also fix computers and do a little web design.

lol just learned how to multi-quote me so happy.

Building computers cool! But do you mean from scratch or just improving your current one? And isn't it expensive? What do you do with it when you finish it? give it away or sell it?

lol sorry just curious.

cool, just make sure you know how much draw weight you can pull don't want to strain your self when pulling and also don't want to have it to light either. Bass Pro Shop or any archery store should have some employees that can help you out

Also you want to find something of a wrist guard to protect your forearm when you let go of the string. That is a must!!! My coach back in elementary tried to use my brothers bow one time and he didn't have a wrist guard and the string sliced the skin at the midpoint of his forearm to his wrist clean off. yea it's that important.


Oh by the way you would probably wanna check these out

freaky kitty

Metroid??

Oh now everyone knows what my favorite hobby is... XD

I love to draw...draw...draw...oh and that one thing.. DRAW. I am sure it's annoying talking about it after a while... ^^;; but I can't help but do what I love and do it for Christ.

I don't really have hobbies so much as I would label them as obsessions.

I used to do a lot of writing, and I would love to get back into it.
I play video games but I don't like to label that as a hobby.
I do a lot of reading too, and I like to collect various items if I find them either very cute or very unique.

And the internet. I spend quite a bit of time on the internet. And I love art. I don't draw, but everyone says I have an eye for it.

Oh, and there's that thing. I think it's called Anime. XD

(This was a very awkward post)

Running around in the forest with a net chasing after foxes while squealing "Kawaii!!!" ?

Anyway, another hobby of mine is collecting clocks--digital, mechanical, you name it. I only have a few, but I love 'em all! My favorite is this cool mechanical flip-clock with these rubber robotic feet. There's only a few of them around, and when I checked ebay, it was going for about $50...I got mine for $14 when Spencers Gifts closed in the mall!

lol sorry just curious.

lol, dont be sorry. i'll either build them from scratch or improve on what i have. it isnt to expensive.. especially that i do it mostly for other ppl, they spend the money, i dont. and depending on the situation, ill walk away with $50-$150 per compy i built. i do upgrade my computer every once in a while, but with WoW not needing to much from my computer, i have no reason to upgrade.
