Hobbies! :)

Before I became disabled, I had hobbies I loved, and still do, but am unable to participate any more. Now, it's mostly things to occupy my time rather than hobbies.

 

I guess the closest I have to hobbies is collecting bears and collecting miniature shoes. I have quite a display of both. Whenever I'm someplace that might sell either one, I look for the unique and unusual. Like I have a worn out high top shoe (I call it a Hobo shoe) that was hand carved out of solid wood. It's about 4 inches high and about 5 inches long with twine as a shoelace.

 

In bears, I have one I really like. It's white, has a blue and white nightcap on with a blue nightshirt. The bear is kneeling with its front paws together as in prayer. Its eyes are closed. When you push the button, the cheeks glow a dark pink and recites the prayer..."Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I 'wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take. Amen. 

 

For those unfamiliar with the prayer, it was one of the first prayers a youngster learned to recite before going to bed. In recent years, parents have rebelled against teaching the prayer to young children because of the fear of dying in their sleep.

travelling and attacking police with my paramillitary anarchist group. more recently also talking about science with a bunch of nerds. It started a few weeks ago when i met this irish nerd and started about talking about eugenics and evolution and she introduced me to other nerds from her country. It's harder for me to talk in english but at least it helps improve my ability to communicate with it.
