Hobbies
What kind of hobbies do you have? What are some you want to try out? Why? This summer I feel like learning/trying something new. Any suggestions?

Polymer clay is SOOOOOOOO fun if youre a little artsy. You can get it at Curry's or Michael's. Its like regular clay, but you bake it and then it goes hard!

so if you put like, en eye pin in it, you can make jewelry

Photography.

Also, writing...I've been writing articles for a variety of publications for five or six years now.

What sorts of things are you interested in, Goce? And...where are you living for the summer? That can help/limit some of your options.

Doesn't change the fact that trumpets are awesome!


Trumpet is the one instrument I wish I was super duper amazing at. Screw guitar. There's no sound like a trumpet. XDD

Yup. My great Uncle was a jazz musician (trumpeter) in New Orleans.

My Old hobby was to create cartoons on my computer using a program called flash, its very rewarding if you keep at it, but it takes a long time to get good. I wasn't even good at it after 3 years of doing it.

My main hobby over this summer is to create a working arcade cabinet. Its a bit pricey, but its very time consuming and really rewarding so far.
