Unusual hobbies?

Reading various newspapers online and in print.

 

I'm really into cities and demograpics. : 3

 

I don't know if writing would be considered unusual or not.

 

I wouldn't say that its a hobby of mine but i own a Bearded Dragon and i've always had a fascination with Lizards and Reptiles. I just think they're the most beautiful creatures, people find it weird when i coo over an adorable lizard or snake.

Out of interest, what reptiles do you own?

 

i sometimes visit furaffinity. and i also hug people. ALOT

 

I have a blue tounge skink, a boa constrictor, and a bearded dragon, so I suppose I have a fellow intrest in herpetoculture.

 

I love crossword puzzles and making collages. I made some really cool collages that I want to frame. I am also obsessed with The Sims 3. I love to sew, too. I'm currently working on some sketches for a fashion line I'm hoping to put online.

 

I make games, card games, board games, and RPG's.

 

Dressing up in clothes that are a thousand years out of style and hitting people with foam representations of melee weapons. It's freakin' awesome.



I've actually only ever been to one event, but getting active in it been at the forefront of my mind for quite a few years now. I also played mil-sim airsoft for awhile. That's really fun too if you're into tactical gun battles, but not for the faint of wallet unfortunately. :/

 

I study Star Wars history for fun. It's cooler than our world's history to me. I also roleplay a Star Wars character of my own in real life.

 

I used to do all of that when I was in middle school and high school! I hate that I've forgotten much of what I've researched, though. ><

Right now, I have a highly unusual interest in comics as of fairly recent. I've always like comic books, but they're slowly becoming my favorite pastime whereas in the past, I barely read them. I'm still in the process of writing my own X-Men story, and I have the main characters all mapped out.

 

I collect swords and bugs. Learning languages is also a big hobby of mine; I want to learn them all. I'm also really into reptiles, especially snakes.

 

I love to read the history and lore of video games (Skyrim in particular). I'm also a huge history buff as well.

 

I collect records. Specifically seven-inch, 45rpm records. Very specifically, instrumentals from 1955 through 1980 on seven-inch, 45rpm records.

does piping count? I'm finally getting to the point where I can keep the set going for a tune without choking...

 

Field herpetology, arachnology and amateur entomology, I guess they're kind of odd if you're not into that sort of thing. It's all basically getting down and dirty in the mud looking for things most people ignore.

I have a few pets that could be considered abnormal, but I wouldn't consider myself a hobby keeper. Maybe the shows I attend would tip it over from "you keep weird things" to "you have weird hobbies"? I tend to attend quite a few exotics/invert shows, spend far too much money going out to arachnology conferences, and debating the whole captive bred/wild caught thing.

 

I like listening to music from other countries. Pretty much everything foreign interests the shit out of me.

 

I collect old radio broadcast equipment. I have a full studio at home, which gets regular use. Two weeks ago an hour-long special that aired on NPR was recorded in my studio and I did the production edit and mix.

I also love Victorian fashion and I'm a paranormal investigator. One of the sane ones. I build my own equipment and often piss other investigators off because while everyone else is running around saying "Look! My meter just blipped! It's a ghost!" I'm like "No, it's not. That was a spike from a ground fault."

I have captured some really interesting and unexplainable things though, and was a regular guest on a popular local radio show for a while.
