Hey everyone.... What's your favorite hobby? :) I like to draw, write, animate, and sing. How about you guys?

I’m starting rock climbing next week after wanting to try for a year! :D Excited about that. I wish this app had a better chat system where we could @ people, maybe we could make a NOCD Discord group or something.

Rock climbing ?

@Ivan Higherdesigns dude you seem so sweet lol! ive been training for a couple months but i bet i could beat someones ass if i had the need to lol. papercraft yes! i actually really enjoy it.

@constellation King As long as you have the drive to keep going great! Do remember that even the best out there were open to constructive criticism. That's how they knew what is the most important things to improve on. Also, being open for critique doesn't mean sending it out to everyone. Seek out your favorite artists and ask them their tips and see if they'd be able to give some critique. They've been in your shoes so know how that feels and how to help people find out how to improve without breaking their hearts.

Yay! What's your favorite song to sing? My favorite song right now is Matthew West's "Hello, My Name Is"

I like reading and designing characters that I’m never going to write about

@fairhuman I've never heard of Calum Scott! I'm gonna have to check out his music sometime. :) I love listening to worship music. :) I knowyou said you like to sing sad songs there a specific genre you like to listen too? @constellation king. That's sick! What kinda characters you like to design? Any specific style? Also @Hazelnut, that is awesome! How do like rockclimbing as an exercise? I'm looking into different ways to start exercising right now. Is it tough on the knees?

Rock climbing is a wonderful form of calisthenic cardio! It can be tough on the knees once you become more advanced. For beginners, though, no. I was a climbing instructor for many years, and I still do it a little on the side :)

I like to design monster characters. Usually based off pop culture monsters, like vampires and werewolves and ghosts etc. I have a world in my brain where the general populous are monsters and humans aren’t ever mentioned. I don’t plan to write about any of my characters, but I do enjoy designing them through names, family, and pieces of their past

that would be really cool orangey!

@constellationking Very talented!

That’s so sweet JCM, thank you!

I write music! https://soundcloud.com/thelomaxkids

i love to go to my boxing trainings and also drawing and crafting stuff . pretty random things lol

@adr397 Thanks for the link! I love the Johnny Cash version. The lyrics: "I have just one life"/"No, I won't back down" are inspirational to me. I will remember these words when I try my next exposure. "Fuzzy" has the coolest, relaxing vibe to it. "Forward Motion" is so punk! I love it! "Venom" is a surprise!

@JCM omg i was into felting too! honestly the worst part about it - everytime i accidentally stabbed my finger with the needle and it hurts like hell! You should try it , its time consuming so its good

Oh man I've missed so much going on around here! @orangey I would love to go rock climbing. My knee may hurt after a while as I have Issues with it- but heck if I'd try! Also great Idea about having a NOCD discord. :) I would do it! @JCM Singing is amazing! I love Mary Mary's "Tomorrow" It's a song that is so uplifting, powerful, and moving. It makes you want to head to the gym!! :) @Constellation King So sick! Do you have your work out anywhere? @adr397 Sweet! I've written a couple of songs. I've never put it out there but I'm so excited to hear your work! @maddy Boxing?! Sick! How long have you been training for? Also, so cool that you do crafting! Have you ever done papercraft?

My OCD needs some ass beating right now! Like, I'm getting ready to go to work and I'm already starting to get anxious. I think that's the mindset to have, not to wimp out and give in to my compulsions. Round one...

@maddy aw geez thanks! I definitely know who to call now next time someone messes with me. XD Papercraft is awesome! You should check out the work of Britany Lee, she'sa disney artist who works in papercraft! Here is one of her pieces. :) http://strictlypaper.com/blog/2011/02/the-little-mermaid-a-layered-paper-illustration-by-brittney-lee/

@Ivan HigherDesigns no I don’t currently have any of my work out, I keep finding issues to correct and I don’t want to have any public opinion over it until I have it all fixed

@JCM here's some work-through-it music. You got this. :) https://youtu.be/QVNnHnlUUDE

@Ivan HigherDesigns ill check it out ! ?

I like singing, but very badly! So I prefer to do it in my head only.

@orangey Rock climbing? Like indoors or out in nature (here I'm picturing Tom Cruise hanging off the side of a large cliff in Mission Impossible.)

@Ivanhigher okay, googling Matthew West...very cool! I liked West's "Do Something". Anyone else have favorite or motivational songs? @constellationking You're welcome! Keep doing what you enjoy! I can draw a bunny. That's about it.

@ maddy if I had crafting ability, I would like to felt little animals (not real animals-that sounds horrible). I bought a book about felting with wool and thought it would be cool to make felted dogs and birds out of wool. Bought the felting needle and wool, but haven't touch it since last year. I like going to art and crafts fairs. I would rather buy someone's art instead of making it myself!

@ Ivan Thanks! Will check out the link. Let us know how the Fitbit is working out for you! I think that's awesome you are motivated to get fit (not sure how I worded this, hope you're not offended). I hope you get to enjoy some outdoor time before the fall/winter season hits.

@Ivan HigherDesigns thanks for the support! I’ll really try to keep that in mind
