KujikawaRising 01/24/18 11:41:45 AM #1:	I'm thinking something craft-oriented or just fun to go out and do. But I want something that's not going to cost me too much money. I don't want a money-sink like Yu-Gi-Oh became for me back in the day. My current hobbies are video games, baking, thinking about the girl I like, walking outdoors (including hiking and exploration), Survivor, and eating out. I do not drink alcohol, so any hobby that includes plastering is out of the question. I do go to geek conventions 2-3 times a year, usually alone, but there are some people I know from those. Cosplay is a possibility but I have always been horrific at sewing... The only collections I have are Survivor buffs and U.S. quarters (by design on the tails side). I needn't add more items to further clutter my room. Any new hobby that generates items would have to allow me to sell them on Etsy or eBay. Any suggestions for things I should try? --- http://i.imgur.com/t3naEGu.jpg I'm BlueCrystalTear, probably at work. <cite>KujikawaRising posted [p:894704136] in I need a n...

There's a store near where I live where I can go try those kinds of things with others (they have a Meetup group, too). I don't mind entering a new social circle even though I'm an introvert. Or at least giving it a try, so that I'll do. Thanks :) Still want more suggestions!
