I feel like I have a boring life and need ideas on fun things I could do that my cp won't affect, I have started collecting quarters to see how much money I can get, but need more things to do in my free time. Feel free to send me some quarters (JK)

Hi there... I would say different things you can try are creative things. For instance I play the Bass Guitar (still learning). You could try maybe something with art, photography, there are so many things that you can try that you CP will have no effect on at all. When I was younger I got heavily involved in computers and it grew to be a passion that I have still today. The best advice I can give is try as many things that you can think of and you will find a passion.

Hope that helps :)

I play piano keyboard, enjoy singing, writing, keeping a journal, and lots of other stuff. I read a lot too. Just think about things you love. What are your favorite movies? Songs? Try different things. I've always loved Disney. At 12, I decided to start collecting. I have films, art, t-shirts, etc. It's a big hobby of mine. Is there anything like that you're really passionate about?

My fallback hobby has always been Video Games, I'm 44yo so I've been a casual gamer since the original Atari 2600 (1977!!!).

I am lousy at any games that require fast reflexes and strict coordination, but there are dozens of other genres too. Everything from RPGs like the "Fable" series, to puzzles and casual arcade type games. I have an XBOX 360 and am connected to their online "Live" service, depending on your communication style it can be a social experience as well. Many of the popular XBOX games are available for PC too. One of my favorite all time games is "Peggle", I have been addicted to it for years.

I have found that Video Games are a good mental workout, and can improve hand coordination for some people.
