(Not to suggest that it is only a hobby for you, by the way. Making board games is a hobby for me.)
Hey there! I haven't been here in a long while. I've only posted once or twice. I was busy getting a college degree. Now that I am graduated, and finally have actual free time, I'm starting up my game projects again. I'm lonely sitting here working on them, so I thought I'd try to start a convo here...
So what do all of you do other than design board games? What are your life goals? Your favorite and least favorite things to do?
I just want to say a lot of you sound like me. That is, having multiple interests and not enough time to spend working on them.
northgun, thank you for asking!
My other hobbies include:
-Learning Russian (and after that it will be German...and then french). I'm actually thinking about starting a blog about it, and possibly teaching languages for a living, at least for a while.
-Reading.
-Sewing (still learning). I hope to make some costumes, or maybe a corset or two.
-Cooking (occasionally)
-Working on my dream business idea. It's a restaurant/bar I'd like to make happen someday. I plan on writing an actual business plan up.
-Learn to play the Mandolin (future plan)
I really like working with my hands as well, so I'd be really interested in making anything--whether out of wood or anything else. I haven't come across any need for it yet, though I have considered learning how to make armor out of leather and chain mail just because.
Other things on my plate:
-Working on Grad school applications for Philosophy, as I recently graduated and would like to go on if possible.
-Saving up money to travel to Russia and study the language and experience the culture.
-Find a job for the interim and pay things off
There might be things I'm forgetting. Basically, I'm unemployed right now yet I keep myself very, very busy. I do not feel like I am unemployed.
I wish I could just choose a few things to do and do them well, but I'm so fascinated by so many things...
