Alas they are indeed. The only one I've ever come by was in a gift shop.

I spotted a strange bird yesterday but was unable to identify it. And I fear I've already forgotten its call :-s

I've been trying to get my dad to either take me to by a bow, or get me a stick so I might make a 3rd attempt to make one, so he can give me some archery lessons... of course as it is I need a new fishing rod too (not to mention renew my license) as I kinda broke the last one :(

wolfloversk;
Thus far the good lady of the house has bested me in the hunt. But we are going to the north shore of the local pond called Superior. I hope to find something worth bragging about along those chilly beaches.
I have seen several strange birds myself of late. Mostly at the local mall 8-}
Lessons would be the best before buying a bow. That way you have some notion of what fits you.
Fishing rods are easy to come by. Look over the nearest tree, and find a good straight branch.

:) wolfloversk, archery is a most exciting talent! I have myself often ventured into the woods and practiced shooting down an apple from trees yonder... Have you often done such?
Narnia is childhood...

Seriously, just give the kid the orange. He needs his vitamin C!

Not yet but I really hope to... Dad thinks I'd be able to use one of his bows, but he needs to get a new string because the one he has now is frayed.

I spend a lot of time listening to music, especially Owl City <3. I love to read and write and sometimes I get into photography. I have a series of cartoon characters and I write Christian children stories using the characters, so that's a hobby. What else? Let's see, um... oh yeah! Narniaweb! I spend as much time on here as I can. I will learn how to play the clarinet this year, so that'll be fun.

-reading
-writing (generally fantasy; includes participating in NaNoWriMo each year)
-discussing common interests online (such as Narnia, Lost, Doctor Who, etc)
-traveling (sightseeing; meeting and visiting NarniaWebbers)
-watching movies on DVD with friends

Daydreaming: I lay in bed listening to music or dreaming about random and beautiful things.

Listening to my MP3: (see above) Music is where I find comfort when my brother is being a pain. I listen to mostly pop, but not poppy-pop, let's just say Owl City pop. Youtube On the Wing by Owl City and you'll know what I mean. :)

Reading: I can be anything, anywhere, in any time-period I want to be! Books are awesome.

Writing: When I write I can create anything, and I love having that ability right at my fingertips!

Gymnastics: Gymnastics in where I can go, exersize, and have fun with my friends! It can't get ANY better than that!

Piano: You can let your emotions flow, and it's so beautiful..

Going outside: I can take a nap in the grass, run through the woods, ride my bike, climb a tree, read, man, I love the outdoors!

Narniaweb: The only website I can get on without being mady fun of beacuse I'm younger than almost everybody, I love y'all!

Hanging out with my BFs: On the web or in RL, my BFs are awesome!

Photography: I love taking pictures with my camera! You can capture so much in a single photo!

That's pretty much all, I'll check back in later.

1) Long-distance run (+ often taking part in competitions at the weekend)
2) Swimming
3) Road racing
4) Taking part in triathlons (but only 5-6 times a year)
5) Narnia (including rereading the books, thinking about narnian magic, watching the movies -> breathing narnian air is quite important, isn't it? :D)
6) I don't necessarily read much, but I really enjoy reading English books (I hope that one day my English will be good ;)) )
7) Meeting my friends of course :)

Well, that's pretty much it. There is not that much time to spare while you are studying chemistry... :(

Thank ya! Yeah, Owl City is pretty much all I've listened to for months, so it definitely is a hobby. I'm actually going to see Owl City in concert in November.
