I thought it would be fun for us to highlight other fun stuff we like to do besides writing today. I am a homebody for the most part. Instead of interesting things like globe-trotting, knife throwing or sculpting, I usually stick to boring old lady stuff like cooking and sewing. So, here’s a few haikus about hobbies, real and imagined. Please jump in with your own in the comments! Happy Thursday, all!
*****
Jugg-a-ling chainsaws
Doesn’t THAT sound like great fun?
Call me “3 Fingers”
*****
Jumping out of planes
Pointy rocks will break my fall
This is such a rush!
*****
Bowling for dollars
Hard to do for lil ol’ me
Bumpers not allowed
*****
Something from nothing
Cooking and sewing are fab
I made it in shop!
*******
Even Edward Cullen, America’s Sweetheart favorite vampire, loves to use his culinary skills-and write haikus about it- when he’s not busy doing vampire stuff like playing baseball, brooding and sparkling in the romantic dappled sunlight. (Barf)
Where’s that chocolate cake?
My most bestest creation!
You ate it? You bitch!

Don’t believe me? Here’s the proof~

Real life is hard…
Your life sounds pretty awesome to me, Art.
But I need to make money off my art… that sounds horrible, but it is that or get another lousy, minimum wage job…
Doesn’t sound horrible at all. Who wouldn’t love to get paid for the things they enjoy doing?
And I can’t become a male prostitute at my age, all that lugging around heavy bags of quarters would kill my back…
Um…..I’m just going to ignore that you said that.
Maybe you should…
Thanks for the link dear cheekydiva
Anytime!
I read my reader
I see the Cheeky Diva
Post read smiling now
Wow! Whoda thunk that reading drivel from my head would be someone’s hobby? I’m humbled and honored. Thank you so much!
Are you sure that something like riding sharks wouldn’t be more fun?
Love watching movies
I try to go each weekend
Great form of escape
Awesome idea!
I love movies a lot too
can’t sit still 2 hours.
If I have popcorn
I can sit through anything
Crunch, crunch, yummy, yum
My dearest Cheeky
I love to read and write stuph
And blog while working
Blogging while working
A favorite of mine as well
Jobs with no work rock!
(Mine, can’t speak for yours)
I often have much
Spare time at work to goof off
So blogging it is
Me too my fine friend
9 hours to kill every day
What work do you do?
I attempt to fix
Broken computers and stuph
I mostly succeed
Mr Cheeky too!
He did that for many years
Now it’s copiers
A guy like that is
Good to have around the house
To fix stuff and junk
Woohoo! Hurrah! Yay!
I’m not really excited
Nothing else to say…
Bored again? Me too
This job really blows sometimes
Time to change, perhaps?
Not with the Mrs.
Currently unemployed
I’m stuck here it seems
I meant me my friend
A change is long overdue
Something up my sleeve
Oh, dear me oh my
Quite confused by that statement
Oopsie, it happens
We’re building a bed
Out of a bullshit flat pack
8 hours and counting…
Wow! Good luck with that!
That sounds like no fun at all.
Ever tried knitting?
I love knitting. It’s a stupid loft bed that my daughter had to have for her birthday. It has a gazillion bits. I hate flat pack. Oh and I use the term ‘we’ very loosely. Hubby is building it. I am drinking too much and taking pictures. My version is way more fun. Thanks for the haiku inspiration. So underused these days.
Oh, drinking and supervising? Now THAT’s a hobby I can relate to. Have fun!
Late haiku today
Somehow had to work
Stupid gov-ment job
DVR at home
Sit on couch and watch tv
Probably too much
Best times I will lay
On sunny beach with warm wind
Flip-flops, sunglasses
Mostly I just write
Lost in blogland with Cheeky
Morning, noon, and night
Oh you crazy kid!
Get off that couch and build a birdhouse or something!
I wrote a haiku
But I was at work so I
Could not post it here
Hi, Cheeky! How you doing?
I’m doing ok, I’m so glad you’re as excited about the new OPI nail colors as I am. I knew you would be! It’s so cool that you love 7 dollar pants! Have you seen their sister site, 4 dollar shoes? Killer deals!
NO! It’s a real site. It’s in my blogroll. The girl on there has even been on television!
Are you kidding me? I will definitely have to check it out. I never know if you are serious or not, you thilly hothpur you!
Seven Dollar Pants. I’m totally serious. http://sevendollarpants.com/ The lady looks like Sandra Bullock.
Round and round they go.
The countryside unchanging
Model trains are fun.
Boston Red Sox
boys of summer I do love
yelling screaming me
HI there! How awesome! A baseball loving poet! It’s so nice to see different sides of people. Thanks so much!

I have referenced your Haiku challenge in my latest post about our journey into flat pack hell, as this is what I was doing while hubby built the furniture. Hopefully you will get a ping back if I have done it correctly. If not please let me know as I did try to set it up that way. My post is here

Thanks
It worked, and thank you! I’ll be sure to read. Hope the project turned out well.

Serve, bump, set and spike,
It is volleyball for me.
A sport I can play.
But I watch TV,
For that worldwide game I love,
It’s football/soccer.
Intricate passes,
Dribble down the sideline and,
Cross it in to score.
The beautiful game,
Stole my heart when I was five,
If only I could play.
Haiku number one
I love Batman and cupcakes
People think I’m weird
Sushi for dinner
Almost died from ninja nuts
Luckily didn’t
Dancing is the best
Just call me Miss Twinkle Toes
Let’s do the robot
That’s awesome! NInja nuts? Would love to hear more about that one.
Heehee yes, I shall write a post on it soon
Can’t wait to read it!
Age is a state of mind, not a number. In the last few days (I’m reading backwards to get caught up), you keep talking about being so old. Hobbies besides writing: crocheting, reading. Used to bowl, but the vertigo even robbed me of this.
I’m not really that old. I’m 47, almost 48. But I have a skeleton that feels like it’s a hundred.And that makes me feel very old. Just can’t get around like I used to, and it’s very frustrating. Didn’t know you had vertigo. That’s terrible. I only feel that when I’m in a tall building. I can’t imagine feeling like that all the time.
I have a few years on you! I have 2 different kinds of vertigo – the regular kind where you feel dizzy at heights, at the top of stairs, etc. Then I also have what’s called BPV (benign positional vertigo) which means my head doesn’t understand where it is in relation to the rest of the world. It happens a lot when I lay down in bed! There is a treatment for it & it works for about 96% of people, but unfortunately not for me. I have to take medication every day for it or I wouldn’t be able to walk in a straight line.
Oh, I’m so sorry to hear that! I hope that there will be an effective treatment that helps you more available soon. I just can’t imagine having that kind of feeling all the time.
Because it’s caused by a physical defect in your ear, there is only 1 treatment. A neurologist puts you on your back on a doctor’s bench. You have to scooch down till your head, shoulders & most of your back to your hips are hanging upside down off the end of the bench. Then the neurologist turns your head very slowly from side to side & back & forth. When you finally get to sit back up again, most people vomit. For a lot of people this will work & their problem is solved. Unfortunately, it didn’t work for me! Not a great experience – I felt like I was going to fall off the doctor’s bench the whole time!

That Twilight lip reading thing cracked me up. Makes about as much sense as the actual movie. All that stuttering, ugh.
I like my Vampires a little more, um, sexy and brutal? Yeah that’s it. Blood and lust. Isn’t that what vampiring is all about?
