I love horses?
If you were going to start a new – affordable – hobby, what would you do?

I already play guitar to a fairly average standard and I’ve not improved at all over the last few years, meaning I’m never destined for being able to play properly so I’m looking for something new to try my hand at.

Alternatively, if you could be any TV character for the day, who would you be and why?

What am I? Simon Quizlax king of hobbies?
I'd be Baltar on BSG, or Lovejoy in Deadwood, or Bunk in the wire, or House.

try your hand at knitting
I'd be Shane McCutcheon.
Just so I could touch myself all day long.

Andy from Weeds
aside from having had some of his toes bitten off by dogs, he is funny, gets to smoke weed a lot, gets into hilarious scrapes, and crucially, is shagging zoey deschanel for a while

Take up a musical instrument
sounds like a lot of effort though

it is a lot of effort
but it is worthwhile if you stick at it. I can recommend starting when you are about 12 or 13.

Important point though: I have never found that being able to play the guitar has increased my ability to pull.

DJing is the way forward for that one, I can tell you
The (really fucking simple) ability to get from one record by someone else to another creates an incredible fanny-magnetic field for some reason.

Starbuck from BSG
The female one. She is my hero. *swoons* I just want to fly a viper.
Plus I'd get to shag the gorgeous Lee Adama, or the equally gorgeous Samuel Anders depending on my mood that day.

Hmmm...
After considering and rejecting Death, Susan Sto Helit, Rincewind and Twoflower, I'd probably go with Sisko from DS9.

God-like powers, and living in a timeless realm. Useful, no?

I bought a DSLR and took up photography, it's about a grand for the initial investment and after that it's cheap. snap snap, grin grin, nudge nudge, say no MOAR!
