I also love writing, always keep a diary and write poems and short fiction passages. I was offered a column in a small local paper, and an hoping to find the time for it.

Reading! My favorite place ever as a child was beneath my favorite oak tree, with a book I love book stores and libraries too. I'm blessed to have a comfy living room spacious enough for my two book cases. My favorite books are astrology, history, historical romance, religious studies, and pagan spirituality themes. Also classics, a tale of two cities being my favorite book.

I love shopping for clothes & shoes, because I'm a fashionista I view fashion as a way of creative expression. I love theatre and movies, favorite productions are wicked, les miserables and lion king.

I also love love dining out at new restaurants and traveling. Travel may be short or far, I just love exploring and trying new things. My family is used to my wacky self waking them up w my random inspirations and saying "let's go to the greek festival!" or "renaissance fair!" or "science and art museum picnic day"!

The one hobby that I've only been able to consistently hold of was History esp. of the Military kind and Military Theorem (weapons, manuals,etc)but even in that I haven't truly put all my heart and effort into it and I already have lost much of my interest, if not become aloof, to it.

Astrology is perhaps the one hobby I've followed with fanatical enthusiasm more than any other hobby including Military History, in my life so far. While I'm technically new to it and it hasn't been a year yet since I started dabbling in it, I really feel that perhaps this will be the one hobby I can finally follow seriously with putting REAL effort in it even if it starts getting hard and frustrating.

In Military History and Gaming (which have been my hobbies for the longest time though for gaming I repeatedly gain and lost interest multiple times), whenever pressure comes (for example I'm stuck on a game and couldn't get pass through or I'm finding myself too lazy to pick up my arms and finish a History book I'm currently reading), I would collapse and avoid putting further effort. Often (though it happened least in History), I would not bother with the subject to the pouint my knowledge and skills rusts to the point I fogot nearly everything or I only continue reading or taking ont he easy parts I can handle.

This can be seen in College courses for history where when an Essay comes up (and I'm VERY WEAK in Essays), I'd often wait last minute to do it or I'd end up not doing it at all and only be getting a B in the Class even thogh everything else(the easy stuff like quizes and homework) were an A.

Same thing haming where once I couldn't handle a boss or get stuck on a level, I would stop playing the games for a long time or just put in another game.I'd often go back to that old game I got stuck on in the future to try and tackle it again but give up as I get frustrated in my attempts to beat it. Over and over.

Even as I get into more and more coplex stuff into Astrology like things that make the average Joe's mind hurt, I find myself enthusiastically taking on such dead ends with zeal. I don't know Astrology is the only thing where I continued pushing my self despite the hardships even though its not required to do so(like for example I had work all night long to pass a final grade paper so I don't flunk a History Class). In fact I don't even need to be reminded that there's a deadline (and so for their hasn't been for Astrology)-I take on the challenges without flinch and groaning.

I seriously wished I got into Astrology years ago. Almost all my life I often felt low self-esteem thinking I'm such a worthless immoral sinner, I'm an absolute weakling who will get destroyed even in easy "Hardships"(like not getting a GF), and I'm an incredily ugly boy who no girls would want.Well in fact my chart states that I HAVE the POTENTIAl to reach the opposite ends of those at extreme levels (like my Venus in Pisces,Moon in Leo,and Scorpio Rising is supposed to make me a charming sexy boy).

Its so funny after I started getting into the moon Signs and Rising Signs, its much easier to push myself for most other stuff in my life like learning how to dress well and such.

Whenever I studied History-especially the Military kind-rather than helping me I'd get much lower self-esteem as I read about heroics by legends like George Washington and Marcel Bigeard(supposedly my role-model for the last 2 years) and I'd literally collapse in hardships like brick walls falling down. Don't even get me started on comparing myself to Saints and Theologians and people known to be dead-drop gorgeous in (non-Academic) History like Jean Sorel and Antonia Banderas.

As soon as I learned more details about Scorpio Rising and Moon in Leo I wanted to hit myself across the face for not learning how to dress well and not pushing myself to become skinnier and so on earlier. As well as not realizing I've been blessed under a powerful chart (Aries in Mercury and my other main placements)that grants willpower and strength two things I wanted all my life.

Astrology is a SUPERB TOOL, in fact I'd say the Best out there along with Religion, for self-reflection and learning about your true potential and overall one of the Best Guides in Life along with Religious Concepts like the Seven Deadly Sins and Boxing(or insert Martial Arts name). Despite what people think, Astrology does teach you that destiny is in your hands.

My other hobby after Astrology is Boxing, which while I haven't got far in it to the same extent as Astrology, will be a huge help to my Scorpio Rising Transformation as I get deeper into it and it will probably eventually become my MAIN HOBBY alongside with Astrology. Practically it'll give me the same aids Astrology and Religion already has given me.

I love watching sad or eclectic film, or going to film festivals if they're around. I like to play horror video games, especially survival horror. I like doing anything artsy and a bit outside the norm, like going to old cafes and poetry readings. I love doing fast-paced and edgy things like trying out new restaurants in the city and going to dance clubs. I have a really wide range of interests.
