Bigmomma · 04 Jan 2004, 00:02

well i like to try and meditate and relax out totally especially to celtic
music, but its not easy as we have a totally packed house.
we have six children one of who has special needs, and takes up a lot of time, and until recently a lot of my time was spent on the computer trying to find out more about his condition and what could be done for him to make his life better, but not a lot is listed so its a case of keep looking.
when and if i get time the books i like to read are historical, jean plaidy especially, and factual historical as well.
as well as meat, i listen to queen, ozzy, 2pac, pod, enya, basically anything and everything.
well their you have it, oh and we have 2 dogs and a puppy that thinks its a cat.

enjoyed learning more about you all.

Ok here's mine.........

I don't work cos I stay at home and look after my two boys, Samuel who is 6 and Charley who is 3. i like to read autobiographies but not Stephen King....sorry guys.

i love going to concerts, I will go to see anyone as long as I can get good seats. As well as my beloved Meat Loaf, I like robbie Williams, Westlife, Erasure, Whitesnake and Status Quo. I also love the theatre especially panto (Oh yes I do).

I love Formula 1, went to Silverstone only 4 weeks before giving birth! it was a wow! still a big damon hill fan.

I get involved alot with my local community, i live on an estate of 700 houses and I organise day trips for the pensioners and families, christmas parties, out door carol singing on xmas eve. I produce a monthly newsletter for the estate and organise local schools to help pensioners to look after their gardens. I love it. we all know each other and crime is almost non-existence cos we look after each other. try it, it works.

I run a parent and toddler group at our local church and help out at the church creche on a sunday.

My hubby does archery and travels the world in competitions, sometimes i just have to go with him to carry his cases (any excuse).

Oh yes and I love chatting to my friends on the phone for hours at a time!

NEXT........................

Live in a madhouse - two daft black Labradors (Fern & Pin) and a dafter fluffy fat cat (Percy), together with husband and two teenagers from hell, and my brother - Uncle Fester. 'Spose we are a bit 'Adams Family'!
We're also one of those anoying people with a Caravan!!

which is basically a mobile mad house!

I enjoy smoking, (no good at self control!)
Can talk for England on the phone to my friends,
Like eating chocolate (have a drawer full at work!)
Have a 'sick' sense of humour - I like Bottom and Gimme, Gimme, Gimme.
I'm an active charity fundraiser - shaved my hair off last April, and before that sat in a bath of custard for 6 hours.

There's probably more, but my brain's gone dead!

Next .......

RoknRollJesus · 08 Jan 2004, 18:18

Don't know that you would call them hobbies...'ere goes:

I LOVE going to concerts! Something about a "live" show just gets me...and I hate leaving a show "disappointed" -I seldom appreciate the artist afterwards

I really enjoy "road tripping" for concerts as well. KISS is my weakness and if its within a 14-hour drive radius, I will talk myself into going (I live in NC, USA and that means I have driven as far as New Orleans and Toronto to see KISS)

I love to read.....I am "ravenous" if its a real good one! I prefer crime/suspense. Fave is Patricia Cornwell. I do enjoy biographies as well!

Travelling! Nothing is more exciting than going on a big vacation trip! Especially going to a "beach" area! Key West is one of my faves with many of the California beaches a close 2nd. My two fave cities to visit are New Orleans and London!

Football! American football that is! Especially college level.....and especially Virginia Tech Football! Go Hokies!

Tailgating! Having previously mentioned football...tailgating has to come next! Nothing like hanging out in a parking lot with several thousand of your closest friends eh? (Did I mention that we usually have a band and a hot tub too? Yes...in the parking lot. You should drop by sometime!)

Graphic Design.....I'm a newbie at this. I love playing with Photoshop and I have a mean creative streak!

Going to the movies! I would always rather see a movie at the theater!

Several "shows" I consider a hobby: ER, Sopranos, and CSI

Playing the drums

Hanging out with my best friend -my 6 year old nephew! Such a great kid!

Spending time with my friends!

...I'm sure I do other things that qualify as hobbies (if you saw my paycheck you would agree)...but I'll stop with these!

Jo,

We should hang out, we have a lot of common interests! Have you ever been to Clearwater (FL) Beach? It beautiful, but awfully tourist trap-like. I live about 10 minutes from there. I also love Key West, we spent several consecutive Thanksgiving weekends there when I was a teen. I am intensely obsessed with college football, more specifically the mighty (okay, not so mighty this year

) University of South Florida Bulls. I like your new icon- very cool.

Eva, I went to that concert as well, it sadly is the last time (but prayers go up that it's not the last time) that I saw Meat in concert. That was about a month and a half before I joined MLUKFC. Dang, it seems to me that you, VickiP and CarylB were all there- if I had known I could have shown you all the town in grand style as I've lived here for 26 years. Perhaps Meat will come back here some day and if a crew of MLUKFCer's come I can throw a hella good pre and post concert party at my house! (Of course Meat will be invited as well!

I'm so sorry for you, Sherrie!

I saw MEAT a day after Clearwater in Melbourne/FL and on the New Years Eve show in Boca Raton! WOW!!!!! That was GREAT!

After Florida he comes to Germany in January 2003 and I saw the first Promoshow in Cologne. In April the same in Amsterdam/The Netherlands and in June in Plymouth/UK.
In October/November I was going to the full German part of the CHSIB tour and in November and December I travel to London to see this man! In two days I go to nine rescheduled UK shows! You see here are a crazy one! :P

Love
Eva

Fallen Angel · 06 Feb 2004, 20:51

Interests..let me think...
Drama/singing:doin musical this year.
reading:Fav book. "World of the unexplained"
music: obviously meat, cher, sheryl crow, nickelback and aerosmith
Oh and bein 15...cute guys.. even though i dont get fooled by appearences as easy as i used to!!!

kaz · 10 Feb 2004, 09:39

what musical you doing fallen angel?
my school put on grease before christmas and now we're doing midsummer nights dream with the boys school, (very srtange arrangement we're part of a foundation, single sex grammer schools but the schools are so close we do loads of stuff together)

Ageing Bat · 10 Feb 2004, 12:06

See you like Aerosmith, Fallen Angel..... went on the Aerosmith roller coaster at MGM studios in Florida. Whole ride in darkness with lazer lights, apparently. Well, it was definately dark for me - I was so terrified I had my eyes shut the whole way round.

Not as bad as the Hollywood Tower of Terror ride in the same park though - you drop goodness knows how many floors in a lift, for what seemed like fifty times (probably not that many, but my goodness it was never ending!). I have honestly never been sooo terrified in my life. Got off the ride a jibbering wreck! My husband made me go back on for the photo, 'cos you couldn't see me in the first one as I ended up hanging onto my brother's ankles (don't know why or how!!). He only got me back on 'cos I was in no fit state to make any kind of rational decision! Second time, I could hear someone really screaming.... and then I realised...... it was me!

So, no, I don't include terrifying, gut churning, stomach lurching theme park rides in my list of favourite things to do!
