I collect cookie cutters, teapots, Iron Man comic books and knives (hunting knives) and I play Diablo II and III and Mass Effect I, II and III. I also raise tarantulas and snakes (actually just snake -singular). Oh and when the budget and the mood strike me, I go antiquing.

What are your hobbies? Do you consider them strange? Do others consider them strange? Or are you just a normal, average person like me?

I used to race radio control vehicles every Friday night, until the school I raced at was rebuilt into the town hall (the club broke up shortly after that). I also used to play paintball, but none of my friends or I have time to play anymore. I target shoot, but I really want to get into the local sportsmans club so I don't have to drive over an hour to the public range (it would allow me to go much more frequently, allowing my skills to improve quicker).

I collect coins, swords and other medieval weaponry, books, music, skulls and skull related items, and pocket knives. I like to cook as a hobby, watch old sci-fi and horror movies, and play Starfleet Battles. I am pretty sure I missed a few things.

I write poetry and cheesy romance novels in my head. I like to do beading, earrings, necklaces etc. I like to watch old school BBC movies and series about Victorian England and various classics based in that time. Mostly I read voraciously, pretty much anything I can get my hands on that is not too scarey or too science fiction ish.
I also collect various frog and fairy figurines and have begun collecting figures that look like our tabby cat Punkin. I also have a very beautiful collection of sparklies (jewelry) courtesy of my wonderful hubby Jim.

Currently, write fiction, make experimental / electronic music, hack stuff. When in my home country, add smoke pot and shoot guns (edit: not at the same time).

Also, am on a quest sample as many kinds of Taiwanese beef noodle as I can, because it's the perfect staple dish (on an unrelated note, Australia makes some really fine-tasting beef. I'm an American, it's hard for me to admit that).

I collect ...teapots...

You should get along with my fiancee, she collects teacups and mugs.

I'm not on the collection side. As for hobbies, gaming. Expecially tabletop RPGs, but also a bit of MMORPGing. And a fair lot of DIY.

Did I mention acronyms?

I NationState. I study things that interest me. I sing and write songs, and occasionally I practice playing my guitar. I'm kind of a music addict, and I love searching through genres I'm not familiar with and looking for new stuff. I also like learning a bit of Theory.

ive been looking into Magic the gathering. My neighbor's kid plays it and I joined him one day. Seems like a lot of fun.

by **Cetacea** » Mon Jan 28, 2013 2:05 am

my 12 yr old son and I recently took up sailing. I also paddle (outrigger canoes mainly), mountain bike, read historic fiction, encyclopedias, myhtology and some fantasy, cook, do organic gardening, surf for porn, roleplay on an internet RPG forum (Aelyria.com) and post to NSG.

I use to do clay work and build cardboard diorama but haven't for a few years now.

I also want to take up archaeology

by **Penguin Union Nation** » Mon Jan 28, 2013 2:05 am

I skin Russian tourists with a rusty hook and wear their skins like clothing.

I mean, I collect Japanese animation.

OOoooh! What kind of teapots? What kind of knives?

I have respectable collections of Yixing clay teapots and puukko (Finnish hunting knives).

Shouldn't this be in Arts/Fiction?

why not all hobbies are arts and none of them are fictional

My hobbies are mostly music-related. I play the guitar (mostly) and the piano/keyboard (to a lesser extent). I also write music myself.

I'm also a bit of a tinkerer: I've built two electric guitars, both using mostly junk and spare parts I've found lying around, gotten from friends or bought dirt-cheap. I actually carved the other's body from a piece of spare wood. Neither are completely finished. They're a kind of an eternity project to me.

I also like to play video games and watch movies, but then who doesn't?

But my hobby is creating fictional stories and drawing them =<

by **Nazi Flower Power** » Mon Jan 28, 2013 3:18 am

I write and draw. The line between work and hobby has gotten a bit blurry with regards to the drawing. Painting is definitely work, but drawing my webcomic is still more of a hobby since the decision of what to draw is based on the needs of the story, not what I can sell.

I play the piano sometimes, I collect Agatha Christie novels and teddy bears and I've recently been going on bush(?)walks. The Dandenongs don't really count as bush, but they're steep and forested and easy to get to.

Hobbies? Well, I crochet, and knit. I also paint glass rocks and plaster bobble-heads, collect books like a maniac and enjoy baking. However, baking is not something I do as often as I would like. I also collect wine corks. Why corks? Tbh, I don't know. I just like corks.

I don't consider them weird, but other people might.

Hobbies? Let's see...

Procrastinating on NS.
Listening to music (Reggae of course, but I'm diversifying my library).
Reading.
Studying (a lot).
Shooting shit up on GTA.

Watching foreign movies.
Writing short poems.
Giving spiritual advice (yes, I consider that a hobby, because I love it).
Playing bass (a future hobby).

Yeah, I consider a few of them strange. How others see them I don't know... :unsure:

by **Cill Airne** » Mon Jan 28, 2013 5:35 am

I enjoy reading, philosophical thinking, studying religions, researching languages and cultures, and playing a select few games on the computer.

by **The Blaatschapen** » Mon Jan 28, 2013 5:59 am

I program, I travel, I work out and I do public speaking. I also play Diablo II. I also tend to read books.
