Crazy Hobbies
I need a hobby...any ideas?
I'm a 20 year old female, live in a small town. I really need something to keep away the boredom. It would be nice to have a hobby that isn't too expensive. I get bored with scrapbooking.

- sell sex toys... that seems to keep me busy.
- whatever your intrest is, and where your going in life. cooking/experimenting on cooking is one option, making something (if thats your intrest) is another..
- My buddy has a show case of colectables in his house finding old stuff from the cival war with his metal detector,i'm getting on,he finds cannon balls and all sorts of stuff.Old soldiar badges and oh my,coins from the 1700's he asked permission from farmers if he can walk around their property after they till the field up to plant corn and stuff,he also goes in the woods and to the beach,his costed like $1000 but i saw them at WalMart for a pretty decent one around $200.
- Try cross stitch. It's not too expensive and it doesn't require a lot of space or tools. Good luck!
- With any hobby, you can buy the high-end stuff or the moderately-priced stuff. I have gotten excellent results with several hobbies by going the moderately-priced route for my supplies. If you discover a hobby you love, you can always arrange to order supplies wholesale. I do that with my beading. Beading is useful, as it saves on jewelry expenses. It's also fun and not difficult at all. This is a good time of year to learn to knit. By the time you're comfortable with it, it will be just the right time to start on Christmas presents! I enjoy that, too. I recommend Red Heart yran to start with. it's inexpensive, comes in lovely colors, and can be undone easily to fix the mistakes we all make when learning a new skill. Start with a solid color in a lighter shade, so you can really see your stitches as you're learning. Your second project can be any color you like. If you enjoy gardening, try raising plants from cuttings. This can be done indoors, so you can do it all year. Grow an indoor herb garden. Those are fun, and make your meals much nicer, too. Have fun learning some new recipes. There are many sites from which to get them; my favorite is www.cooks.com because their recipes are mainly submitted by folks who've used them a lot. You can find staples as well as exotic stuff. Could you afford one morning, afternoon, or evening a week to volunteer at the local seniors' care facility (they always need readers or chatters or listeners for the residents, because the staff doesn't have time to just sit with folks and make them feel special) or at a local animal shelter? These types of activities make great hobbies, too.
- Try coin collecting. It doesn't have to cost you a lot. You can go to the bank and pick of a box of coin (whichever denomination you like) for exactly face value. A box of pennies is $25, a box of nickels is $100, a box of dimes is $250 and boxes of half dollars or quarters are $500. The bank can pull out just $100 for you and you wouldn't have to buy all $500 if you didn't want to. Once you get a box, you can go through and pull out the better coins (there are books to help with this or websites). You can pick up a coin book and try to fill all the holes or just search for interesting ones. The coins that you don't want can be returned to the bank and put straight back into your account (though it's often better to return the coins to a different bank (not just a different branch but a different bank) so that you don't search the same boxes over and over). So you get most of your money back and you could then get another box. Also check your change for interesting finds. Some things to search for: wheat pennies, silver dimes, silver quarters, old coins, error coins, etc. There's always the chance that you could find a real treasure!

- I would suggest you take up knitting as it can be very relaxing also time consuming, you could start off with something small.
