Real life hobbies, work or schooling

Postby Doobjanka » February 28th, 2012, 2:30 am

It's no secret that I love movies, but I'm also studying Sociology in College (WoW would make a great dissertation topic if I planned to go that far!) and I'm currently interning as a hospital advocate for survivors of violent crime. What do you do in real life?

IRL Im an Insurance Advisor that lives on a hobby farm with 21 miniature horses. Ive had horses all my life and have logged numerous hours raising, training and showing the little beasts. (If you knew the little gelding I was training ATM you'd understand why I say beasts O.o)

I also sketch animal portraits, mainly in pencil and love arts & crafts. Ive taken on a new hobbie of raising fish, which has been interesting. My mom would tell you that I have a bad habit of taking in stray cats as well. >.< Which I guess is true. Ive adopted many cats over the years that have either needed medical attention or just a loving home.

Guess thats me in a nut shell.

I'm a movie nut just like Doob, but other then that, I sing in my church choir and I'm studying to become a teacher. I love animals, well, furry animals, and I have a little chihuahua called Thor who takes up time as well.

Well, I used to unload trucks for wal-mart when I was living in Hattiesburg, MS but now I work part time at a Ross store (been looking for something else for a while now). My fiancee should graduate in may or summer and we're going to be moving to a state where medical pot is legal because of her anxiety issues and i've pretty much ran out of ideas to help her.
Anyways i'm a gamer nerd I love it all from WoW to D&D :P I used to have a $2000 MTG collection but sold it off =\

RMD,
California is the place for legal pot, but kind of expensive to live there. I develop websites and study marketing. :)

I work for a telecommunications company doing backoffice ticket work, and training new employees on various customer service functions.

At home I have a wife and two kids a 4 yr old girl and 7 mo old boy, their raising is pretty much my hobby other than occasionally finding time to dabble in warcraft now.

I don't watch TV except a few DVR'd shows, I mainly listen to either music or economic or theological lectures while I'm playing or doing other things with or for the kids. I've always loved learning, and staying informed on various topics keeps my brain working strong :)

I'm a warehouse manager for a floor covering distributor...most of my spare time is spent with my two boys (ages almost 3 and almost 7). In what other time I have left I enjoy playing WoW and Diablo, I've always loved rpg's and video games and for me WoW is the pinnacle. I'm very introverted and tend to live in my own little world, so Wow fits right in with my mindset as it's a little world of its own that I can enjoy myself in...I'm not on an RP server or anything like that, and I don't regularly RP in-game although I do like to play around once in awhile, most of the RP is in my own head while I quest and take in the lore of the game.

Other than that I like to play poker (even though I'm not very good at it...I have a group of buddies who get together bi-weekly for low-stakes poker, we keep stats all year and at the end of the year we hand out prizes for 1st to 3rd place (according to who won the most money that year), we also all pay a "cover" charge every game, and that money goes into a pot that we play tournament style for at the end of the year, how much you win depends on how you place...it works out nicely because then at least everyone gets a chance to win something (even the bad players like me). I also LOVE golfing, but again I'm not very good at it...of course I haven't done anything to improve my game since I started playing, I just like to get out on the course and whack the ball around...one of these days I'll work on my game, then I might actually be able to break 100 on a more regular basis (as opposed to the one time I've done it in my entire time golfing)...of course that will probably be when I get older. the master plan is to get my kids into golf so I have an excuse to get out to the course/range more often!

And of course, in between all of that stuff, i'm somewhat of a conspiracy theorist and proponent for marijuana legalization (I consider myself a "lifestyle" smoker)

That's me in a nutshell I guess.

IRL, I'm a drug dealer. Ok, a pharmacist, but I was at least able to sound all bad-ass for one sentence. I work in a hospital, and make IV's frequently. I'm also the hospital's pharmacy expert on pain management. That's been my area of research since I was on my rotations.

Hobby wise, the WOW TCG and too many others to list! It seems to rotate based on my mood.
