One thing I do is make gimp/lanyard (http://boondoggleman.com/idea_yonatan.htm for an example of something that I have the ability to do, but won’t because of the time/money involved in doing a project like that.)
I also love playing diplomacy, but haven’t been able to for a few months due to the time input needed.
Wow, those are pretty impressive! I can understand them taking a lot of time, but I would have expected plastic lanyard to be rather cheap. That’s one of the things I love about both tiny embroidery and tablet weaving: A small monetary investment can get you enough material to work with a looong time! Is it expensive because you can work through a large amount of lanyard fairly quickly?
I’ve only ever seen diplomacy mentioned here on LW. What sort of game is it?
Diplomacy can best be described as Risk with minimal luck, so the biggest part is negotiating with other players.
Hm. You’re right about the cost, it would be pretty cheap. Probably less than $15 counting the cost to buy each color. You seem to be familiar with this sort of thing, what did you do?
Thanks for writing! I do circus-y stuff too! What other sorts of hobbies do you have?

No experience with lanyard in particular, but the basic concept reminds me of tablet weaving, which I did do a good bit of.
