I'm going for a Physics degree right now. Outside of story-telling, science has always been a fascination. I want to have a deep understanding of how this strange thing called existence functions.

Miraculously, there are a lot of fellow writers and film fans in my degree. There's a girl who's taking a Writing-Physics double Major and she's given me a lot of tips on how to craft better characters. And even taking this degree, I've met a lot of fascinating people. Poets, writers, dancers, musicians, athletes. In a way, I sort of think this has to broaden my perspective in a way that can better my story-telling craft. I sort want to write something about these people, something that can open people's minds beyond trite Big Bang Theory stereotypes.

Anyhoo. I prattle.

Did you happen to catch this:

Would be right up your alley

Skydiving, indoor skydiving, yoga, hiking, camping, canyoning, and travel, next stop Finland in December this year to hopefully catch a glimpse of the Northern lights.

Chess.

Quoted from DustinBowcot Chess.

Hey, dude. You're back!

My fish pond and travel.

I create musical playlists, so I can determine which script to work on.

Gaming (PC and console) and playing bass guitar

Software Development (my main job), running a Youtube Channel (quite time consuming), playing tennis and travelling.

I used to love folk dances when I was young. Now it's salsa and ballroom dances such as samba rumba and cha-cha-cha. Lots of fun!

Hey, TheReccher, I did a theatre show once with a woman who had an advanced Math degree and worked for NASA. She was into singing and the show was a musical. Yeah, people come in many colors)

I watch a lot of combat sports, MMA, boxing, kickboxing etc.

I'm pretty good at masturbating

Watching movies, playing poker and metal detecting...

Quoted from AnthonyCawood metal detecting...

Would you hate me if I told you I have in the past enjoyed burying pennies in the sand at the beach just so I can watch people with metal detectors go find them later. ;D

I could never hate you, Pia !

And fortunately, I don't go beach detecting ;-)

Skiing, fly fishing, cycling, and climbing!Wahoo!

Metal, music in general (my love for metal demands a distinction), cooking, reading, video games, and most recently, running and meditation. I try to keep my breadth of hobbies robust and diverse.

I collect screenplays and baseball cards.

Support staff. Hammering nails and such.

When not climbing through the mire,

it's cats...

I love cats. And dogs...

Toby Dog, a 70 pound Rottweiler loves me too. Climbs into my lap like a dinosaur cat.

Don't have the expanse of time I had in the good ole days, though-- that "though" hangs uncomfortable.

Ach! Like Khamanna says, "Meh".  :)

Sounds to me like a great premise for a short. ("Mental Detection", "Doesn't Make Cents", "The Sands of Dimes" - all titles the come to mind.

Neat! Do you sell pieces, Dena?

I've always been envious of people that are good at art. I've tried painting before but it turns out like a 3-year-old has had a go.

Yep same here. I don't even try and draw or paint. I would love to be able to sit in front of an empty canvas and just paint but i would have no idea what to do. Ironically my daughter has an unreal talent for art and drawing from scratch. Funny that
