Hobbies!

Oooh double postage alert!!

I forgot to say (Mubsys nekkid thread reminded me of this...), when I stood up to start my initiation, once the applause had died down for a few seconds my brain suddenly shouted:

"OMG YOU'RE STOOD IN FRONT OF ROWS OF JUST MEN WITH WILLIES! YOU'RE PERFORMING TO MAN BITS!! DON'T THINK OF THEM DON'T THINK OF THEM!"

I think for a millisecond the horror of the above hit my face as I pulled a bunny in the headlights expression.

Made me laugh afterwards! My brain is stoopid

Hence why I haven't been off to shoot rockets in a while (at least 10 years ago was the last one)!!

One of my rockets was a scale replica of the Saturn 5. It had 5 Estes D12-0 boosters in the first stage, 3 D12-0's in the second stage and 3 D12 final stage engines in the top stage. And at $15.50 an engine per launch ($170.50 + shipping per launch), you can see where it would get spendy pretty quick!!

Especially considering I don't count it worthwhile going out unless I fire at least 20 rockets off at least twice each, preferably three times each (unless I lose or break them in flight)!!

Many moons ago when I still played coronet in the orchestra I did this right in the middle of the William Tell Overture (you know, the Lone Ranger part?). I was 2nd chair, but this particular concert (at my school no less) the lead chair was out sick. So I had to do the lead part (which I had only fuddled around with a couple times). So here I am standing in front of almost 1000 of my school mates trying to sight read a solo part. The things that went through my head cannot be said without a SERIOUS amount of censoring!! Needless to say I flubbed it. But the conductor gave me a second chance and I aced it that time.

Things are going awesomely magic wise I'm still steadily learning... not necessarily new things but perfecting what I know to date! I'm being slightly spoilt too as a rather amazing card magician/close up artist is pretty much tutoring me too! Yaaaaaay! God knows how I blagged it but I have And it's well. Superb.

I could happily dedicate every waking hour I have to it! Hopefully I'll get to a point of being fairly good soon Yehaw!

*runs off to play with some balls*

*edit* oh yah, Mister Feeky, I will look at your request tomorrow Wubbles! xxx

Yeh yeh *yaaaaaawn* another magic post. Still obsessed which is good

Met up with some Magicians again last night. Saw some hypnosis (seriously scary stuff... it actually properly works. Freaky) and then after the pub closed I stood in the car park with 3 other Magicians and learned how to flick cards about 50 odd yards.

Very random. But very much fun!

I guess I can add kick boxing and pole to this now too

Hobbies.....well
Cars (the building of) but my last has caused me untold grief over the last 7 years (money and mentally) so Ive pulled the plug. Currently helping my biker mate sort his 32 out (as he doesnt normally do 4 wheels!)
Kitesurfing - this is my latest 'fad' another expensive hobby and I still have to manage to get up on the board - hopefully crack this next time im out
DJing - took this up again, but then havent followed it through as I intended (due to 1)....have lots of things I want to try though
MMA - dabble with this every now and then, but havent been for a while (my normal class shut down due to lack of numbers) and the other class I started to go to was full of full on cage fighters
Boobs - probably THE longest hobby Ive ever had Love em

How are you at doing a Southern accent? If you can do one even vaguely passably then we should have put your forward for the Wolverine film - you certainly couldn't be any worse than the twonk who played Gambit.

My hobbies are relatively unchanged - I've dropped climbing for the moment due to not having a wall within easy distance but I've upped my sessions at the gym so I'm still getting plenty of exercise.

Damn, I love that piece of music, it's such a shame that the Lone Ranger part is the only bit that people recognise.

Gotta listen to it again now
