Need a hobby

[KingKong]

Planking

nooo, its actually illegal in aus!(talk about stupid laws...)

[Brain]

get a job, takes up tons of time....lol, I've got 2.
I would suggest RC stuff, but the start up cost is pretty high...and the maintenance cost is high depending on how you drive/fly. Very fun though if you can save up ~$500 minimum to start out well.
walk around downtown? (take the bus there, or just ride public transit in general, weird people on there!)

[Mr. Doctor]

I guess I'll throw some stuff I like to do.

One thing I like doing, as someone mentioned before, is drawing. Sure, it's hard and frustrating, but once you get the finished product you'll feel very proud. I drew Ada Wong from RE4 (I tend to draw girls rather than guys, because uhh... Drawing guys doesn't jiggle my fancy.) and I was very happy with the outcome. It wasn't a trace, but when you look at the screen, look down, look up, look down and draw, look up, look down, fuck up, and curse. Sure it gets repetitive. But it gets your mind off things.

Well, since I'm Italian and I went to go visit the 9,001 siblings i had there. I felt really awkward(saw). I spoke but they all looked at me strange. Where I'm getting here, is learn a new language. I learned by finding an artist I really like, In a different language like Rammstein, and going here. I wouldn't suggest using google translate. I would write a perfect sentence and Google would say something else. After I improved (greatly) using my tactics, I would speak half English and half Italian to make myself laugh. That and the fact that you know another language makes you feel cool. The thing with WordReference is that you have to translate word by word BUT it REALLY REALLY REALLY is accurate. The conjugations, endings, and the tenses are clear. But to know what the tenses are, you have to look it up somewhere else.
I'll break it down.
Say in English you wanted to say.
I used to like that singer.
You can't say.
Io piaciuto quello cantato.
You need to say
Io piacevo quello cantato.
You need to use imperfecto (imperfect) instead of pasato (past) because imperfect is implying that you used to like/do something. Past is just something that happened in the past. But way back in the past like years ago would be trapassato remoto. I learned this all by listening to a artist's song, getting the lyrics, and translating word by word.

Going to work is another past time, find a job that you like. Finding a job for the $$$ will make you miserable. If you say, "Shit, gotta wake up again," Instead of "Alright, ready for work today!" then change jobs. That or stop being emo.

Try building something too. Make a giant catapult or a mini buggy. (Don't do go-karts, they're just a piece of metal and wheels that go fast. Buggys have suspension.) Don't just be simple be as imaginative as you can be. Don't build a buggy that just goes forward, one that has a reverse. Shit, might as well go with 3-speed manual or something. (Manual over Automatic any day.)

Just be creative. Wait for an inspiration. Like when I watch TVs shows on how they build stuff, I always get inspired to do something.

I don't know. I really can't tell you anything else because we don't have the same thoughts or perspective on such things.

Off topic, I found a script way back ago called Teh Cow Killer. We were supposed to work on it but it was like barely started. It said AwkwardSaw and JunkJ at the top. I smiled and was like, damn.

Anyways, I hope you get an inspiration to do something. I'm bored as well, too.

You could start making music too

FL Studio is a pretty easy program to use, and there's tons of tutorials on youtube

A friend gave me that a few years back, I was amazed at how detailed it really is. You can make anything you could think of with it. Unfortunately, I never went through any tutorials so I just set it aside. I'd sure like to learn though...

You could use that awkward saw of yours to build something. Construction is fun

read the thread silly I have no money to buy a tool belt. I only have a shitty claw hammer, and a hand saw. Need to wait for school to start so I can borrow my belt in my construction class

If you're looking for a hands-on money maker, you can do controller modding like I do. Takes a good bit of patience and some soldering practice, but I can usually turn a used $20 360 controller + $2 PIC +~$5 in supplies into a $80-90 rapid fire controller. No programming involved if you don't want there to be, you can find pre-written, ready-to-flash programs for the chips; all that needs to be done is the correct wiring. If you get supplies from eBay, you could probably keep the initial investment at or under $50.

I also did an LED swap on my sister's Wiimote (stock blue -> purple), as a gag-ish B'day present (alongside the real gift), which you can see here:

The picture is kinda ugly, looks much better in person :P

I might do modding. I enjoy MCU's, but never really modded something

Mod your PC, take of the cover, get a see through one and put on some cool LEDs

I was thinking of doing something like

where instead of loading a website, connect the nerdkit to my xbox so it will turn on automaticly, and do the same to open up the disk drive, or something or other

Learn a foreign language!

[footballjds]

It would be nice if its under a $50 investment, I'll go up to 150 if it's worth it, or chance of making money

umm, my suggestion is to go buy a pound of weed. You'll need a bit more then 150$ though. :P
Smoke what you want and sell the rest. You can(depends how much YOU smoke tho...) earn money and have a fun hobby

Work?

best idea yet

[ReadySteadyGo]

tightrope walking. buy a slack rope for £60, you won't regret it.

Grand Canyon is a good place to practice i hear.

try mastering juggling with three balls.

I tried once with knives, didn't end very well

[WT-Fakawi]

It is a prooven that juggling permanently enlarges your brain (grey matter). It is a very good skill to master....and not at all difficult...if you persist.

Learn a foreign language!

This is a great suggestion! I highly recommend finding interest in a foreign culture and learning the native language. It only has positives, and who knows when that knowledge will come in handy.

Don't just settle for obvious choices like Italian, Spanish, German etc (among others). Find one that interests you and find a learning style that fits you and stick to it

Edit: If that doesn't interest you though you can always join teams with Mixster and help him build his army of origami creatures
