Taking an Interest

I love sewing and fabric, more than anything else in the world ever. I mean, I even have a board on Pinterest just based around pictures of adorable fabric. But it occurred to me that I should try and include things in my life that aren't ALL sewing based or reading based. I do some design work, but that's only because it runs along side my desire to get into college in September.

This has got me thinking about my friends and the activities they take part in which I could tag along to. My choices are exercise classes, LARP and re-enactments. Exercise classes are out, due to having wonky knees that often try to bend into funny directions when I exercise properly. RE-enactments involve lots of expensive kit and travelling. I love travelling, but along with expensive kit and not a great interest in history, I don't think re-enactments are for me.

Now, LARP. Where to start with LARP. I went once with boyfriend, just to humour him and I wasn't too sold on it. I liked that there was a sense of team work, but I'm just not that into fantasy things. However, I have always encouraged him to keep going and to make new kits and things, and I often hunt down new events. Through a friend, I found an online directory of UK LARP events, and there was a post-apocalyptic event. Now, that sounds more my thing! According the stats on my xbox live account, I've spent almost 500 hours on Fallout 3 and New Vegas, so that event would be right up my street. Going to look into a bit more today, and see what I can sort out!

Hopefully, it'll be really good and then that'll be my non-sewing hobby, but if not, the search will continue! What hobbies do you guys, my readers, have that isn't sewing?
