A hobby?

[slleipnir]

I've kinda been looking around for some sort of hobby or activity...I'm clueless as to what I'd like to do...

I was thinking about tennis, but I really don't know that I'd want to...I was also thinking of a martial art...but I don't really like fighting lol D: I used to be in taekwondo, it was ok, but I just didn't like sparring much...which is really the whole point of martial arts...

I sort of want something physical to help get me in better shape...something fun...but I'm soo picky and don't seem to want to try anything. i've played soccer & basketball, did taekwondo, flyball with zeke and other things like guitar which i didn't stick with cause the teacher made me feel like a failure...or maybe it was just me, not sure. Anyway, I was also thinking of like piano or something too even though it's not physical. I just want to enjoy something and look forward to something...I just have no idea. I'd LOVE to take japanese classes, but go figure I've already taken the ones offered here...they just dont continue on.

Any ideas??

How about a dance class? That's physical, but no sparring is involved!

Piano is also good, not as physical, but it's a great instrument to start with, will help you with anything musical you do for the rest of your life.*
*Disclaimers:
1. Ma was a piano teacher
2. My sister is a piano teacher
3. I was a bad piano student (because I never practiced) and am now used as a negative example - you'd better practice, or you'll play like Aunt Karen!

But I still do other musical things, and do have a keyboard upstairs, and sure enough, knowing how to play piano has helped!

yeah I was thinking of dance too...It's kinda dumb, but I think I'm afraid to take classes cause I think I'll make a fool of myself D: lol

My dad and my sister play piano...my dad is pretty good...I've always wanted to play....

Everyone is expected to make a fool of themselves the first time in dance class! If you didn't, THEN we'd be worried!

I suppose that's true, Karen

I was actually looking into tai chi too...and I have done yoga before...it was ok

[Pawsitive Thinking]

How about a martial art using paper - origami.....

Since you're sort of into the martial arts, but don't like the fighting why not try yoga or tae chi?
