Hobbies Past Present and Future

First off before I get to the hobby talk, I have to tell you all that I have the most wonderful sisters! I've been very sick lately. Today I'm doing a bit better. But Anna came over yesterday and cleaned my house for me. Even brought dinner. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that I am starting a new hobby, I started thinking about all the things in my past that I was totally gung-ho about doing. I thought, "This is it! I totally want to be a _______!" So I went for it. Some things I worked at for years. Some things just months. Some things I was pathetic at, others I got pretty good at. I just am interested in a lot of things and have dabbled in quite a bit. I was wondering if this guitar thing was going to make the cut.
I thought I'd share with all of you some of those things I dabbled in. I started out trying to put these in order of when I stopped doing them first to last. But I am not sure if I got it all right. There was a period in my life when I was doing a bunch of them at once, and I'm not sure when exactly I gave some of them up.
