I'd say I'm pretty decent at bouldering, and have noticed that some people at the gym have started to ask me how to do problems and stuff, so that's cool.

Woodworking it really depends, sometimes I surprise myself and make something I actually quite like, other times Ill mess up the most simple things again.. But i just started out with my first hardwood project and I'm excited to see how it will turn out.

Sewing I'm very much a beginner and ask my girlfriend for help every step...

I'm fine in poetry, and terrible in skeleton reconstruction or things like taxidermy because I'm terrible with my hands, but I'll keep trying

On a scale of total novice to master, 1 to 10, I'd say I average about a 3. Handily capable compared to the layperson, but unremarkable compared to other hobbyists. I do have a lot of hobbies though

In a few of my creative hobbies, I've been complimented by others in a way that I would consider sincere to the work.

I'm shit at video games.

I used to do my hobby as a full time job, I realized I didn’t enjoy it as much when it was my job so I switched careers so I could still enjoy it.

Was consistently in the top 15 or 20 in my age group (obstacle course racing) and was gearing up to aim for a podium finish but got rear ended on the way home from work one day in November so in recovery for a back Injury. Hoping I can get back to it again by the end of the year to but gotta hurry up and wait.

Started growing my own veg a year or two ago so getting steadily better at that and enjoying the process. (this one kinda skirts the line between just being self sufficient and a hobby though so make of it what you will)

Similar to others, pretty adequate at plenty of other stuff, the two above just immediately come to mind

I love vidyagames but have unexceptional skill in them. I did once finish the Ice Cold Beer arcade machine by Taito, and I LOVE that game. It only took me 250 tries ✨
