    Oh, also. Not sure I'd count this as a hobby, but when I get bored, I have a tendency to fold cranes out of anything I can find around me. I've taken it to be sort of a personal challenge. Most of the time it's paper, but I've also used candy wrappers, plastic labels, money, potato chip bags, and once, a leaf.

    Playing music is probably my biggest hobby. I've been doing it since 5th grade. I also do programming, and recently I've been playing chess competitively.

    I love this. xD Origami is the best thing ever. To prove my point, I did a whole PowerPoint presentation on it during my first year at Uni. I've also got a crane sitting on the TV cabinet at home.

    It totally is! A couple years ago I decided to fold a thousand cranes for a friend for his birthday. Partly so I can say I did it. xD

    Also did this with them because I got bored. So perfect for this place.

    Spoiler:
    Woah that's awesome! :O It seems like it would be hard to line everything up in the right shape.

    Oh my god that is insane! I can fold paper cranes, but do you know how long it would take me to make that many? That must have taken you forever! Even if you made two paper cranes per minute, it would still take you over 8 hours. That is super impressive.

    Takes me about two minutes to fold one crane, but of course I can't continuous fold non-stop. With distractions and all, it took around...sixty hours, I think? I was watching Disney movies while doing it. xD

    I like to grind in games, so I figured this was like real-life grinding. *too much time*

    I wish I could real-life grind like that. That's dedication. xD I'd probably lose all motivation halfway through, say screw it, and hope for the best haha.
