Your strangest hobbies?

[Anglomir]

I like to write fictional lore and world build for a fictional extended universe of countries on a website called 'nationstates'.

Does Fris know this? If it's multiple personality disorder, we should probably let him know.

Oh yeah, he knows. What do you think he does when he's not brusquely answering reports?

Sleeps?

Sleeps?

Pfffft. He wishes he could sleep. But the screams... my God, the screams...

Oh my god, same here! What a coincidence!

Not intentionally 'snarky', per se. Just a fun little answer.

What are you doing to him?

See, now you're getting confused. I am Fris, there's no difference. I just like speaking in the third person when I use this nation.

Comparing the death rates per capita in wars to the murder rates in American cities, then being shocked when many wars are less deadly than our cities are.

For example, the Moro Rebellion, Northern Irish Troubles, Sri Lankan Civil War, Rhodesian Bush War, War in Afghanistan, Libyan Civil War, and Colombian conflict were all less deadly on average per capita than many american inner cities. And baltimore and st louis are deadlier than the war in iraq. the iraq death rate is about 50 per 100,000, while baltimoe is 56 and st louis is 66 per 100,000

1. There's a world map in my room. I write notes on it. It's more fun that way and I will always know exactly where the Roman Empire was. The most recent addition to the map is arrows showing the spread of Buddhism.
2. Playing badly tuned instruments to see how they sound. It's more entertaining than people think.
3. I'm counting NS for this one.
4. Compulsively sorting coins by currency, age, and value.

Clearly my hobbies are the best and I'm perfectly normal. Clearly.

After reading all posts, I believe there needs to be a real-life NS talent show.

I'd love to meet more NSers IRL, but I don't think most of us are that talented at the sort of things that would make for a good talent show.

NSTEDTalk, maybe?

I have some good talents, I don't know if they're safe for spectators tho...

i have many hobbies, most of which involve making something, or at least imagining doing so.
one i'd never thought was strange, but i guess its a bit uncommon, is watching feral cats, and other creatures.
this involves mostly being still and quiet enough to not chaise everything away.
there is a great deal of variation of boldness among individual members of any species.
it pretty much has to be a solitary endeavor, but then, must of my hobby activities are solitary anyway,
and one of the many reasons i enjoy to spend a great deal of time by myself.

[Dumb Ideologies]

Obsessional thoughts about the inevitability of death and decay. Also reading very shitty manga.

[Mzeusia]

Reading the witty comments of people here and on other parts of the forums.

Is that weird? I don't know but I'm too scared to ask.

Our wit can be very intimidating. Sometimes I scare myself.

[Valentine Z]

Role-playing here, and making huge names for my characters. I think I am getting a little too obsessed with that. I also collect old currency, specifically old Burmese currency.

But one of my strangest hobby was last time, where I actually had a dream journal, i.e. I would religiously jot down the weird dreams that I have had the previous night.

Making my own e-cig juice myself

Playing a game with my cat where I district him with one hand and touch the back of his head with the other, and see if I'm fast enough to avoid getting swiped

Researching psychoactive drugs and how they work; learning about serotonin, dopamine, etc.

Learning about linguistics on Wikipedia and trying to figure out how to say consonants that I as a native English speaker can't say

Rewatching Bojack Horseman a shitload of times, probably enough that someone at Netflix thought about sending me an email asking if I was okay

Trying to be conscious and lucid dream in that space between awake and asleep, because I find it euphoric

[Kyrinasaj]

Staring out of windows

Sinking in thoughts

Compromising weird dances to all sorts of music

Editing maps in paint

Having conversations with my cat or stuffed animals

[Heloin]

Memorising tongue twisters, and compulsively reading through moderation every morning before work/computer games.

[Kaggeceria]

I obsessively work on my factbook.

Can park rangers check Nation States while on active duty?

If so, I want to become a ranger too.

(Bonus if you get to take out monsters in the forest to protect people)

Making my own e-cig juice myself...

My mind instantly defaults to Johnny Depp from The Tourist. He used e cigs.

Are you by any chance also a math teacher from Wisconsin?

You compulsively check moderation too?

Idk but something about reading reports is entertaining.

I meant going to work or doing computer stuff. I don't work every day of the week. Ok, sometimes I check while at work but that's besides the point.

If by monsters you mean jerks who act like they own the place, sometimes.

I'm not quite sure myself but I find it interesting and possibly a bit fun. Nothings more infuriating though then seeing someone new spamming moderation and my first thought is to spam moderation to warn them not to do that, so I don't do anything.
