Do You Control Your Hobbies?

I am very much under the control of my hobbies. My whole life is strung by my endless watching films, reading novels, melodies I listen to, and eating. I live for anything that is art, so I have very much lost all capable control over how much time i spend with my hobbies.

if you count drinking and socialising as hobbies, then they control every other aspect of me.

i control my hobbies now. before im addicted to going in coffeeshop and spend time, sometimes all day, in there. i spent lots of money in food as well. so i realized id rather stay in my room and arather drink coffee there.

Well, this Mylot thing got a bit out of hand for a while there but I've gotten it in line. I don't actually have many hobbies. I sell books for a living so reading isn't really a hobby. Sking which I haven't done for awhile but could easily get addicited to again is a sport. When I garden, I grow vegetables and herbs to eat and flowers for the house, so I don't consider that a hobby....I seem to call all my 'hobbies' something else. Probably I do that so I don't have to feel quilty if I get carried away.

Hmmmmm yes and no. If I feel I have nothing better to do like housework I usually let the hobbies rule. If there is real work to do outside on the farm, then no darn it. Work rules around here.

Great question! I would say my hobbies control me. Especially writing. If I get an idea or inspiration I have to stop whatever I'm doing and write it down. My purse is always full of little notes and ideas on crumpled pieces of paper. Back in the day I'd even run into the bathroom when I was at a bar so I could write down an idea before I forgot it!
