do you have many many interests or hobbies?
then share!


i'm into too many myself. food, fishing, cars, any kind of scaping, construction, art(minus paintings), technology, finance/economy, business, anime, fashion, martial arts, games(but decided to quit, can't afford time), and a bunch of other stuff. and all of those branch out into more detailed areas.
i've done a lot, but there's whole lot more on my to do list.

edit:
also, where could i meet people with multiple/many interests and hobbies?

I'm mostly into listening to classical music now. From time to time I'll paint/draw landscape type stuff or maybe even portraits. I still play piano and guitar...but mostly piano. I picked up reading again, I find that TV makes me angry nowadays. I used to be into tech crap but that went away with puberty and into fashion and whatnot.
i sit by myself
memories, all i want

It's hard to meet other people with as wide a range of interests. I only know two people who are like that, and meeting them was purely out of coincidence!

I'm into: fashion, architecture, digital art, international relations, the global water crisis, languages, travelling, culture, different forms of dance (house, lock, breaking), electronic music genres, and literature, and writing. It's hard to find someone to connect with on similar points when you have too many though.

My main hobbies are photography, playing flute, watching movies, and playing tetris (as sad as that sounds, it is my favorite game ever and I am quite good at it). Other interests include travel, toy & figurine collection, gaming (PS3, wii, PSP, DSi), food, anime, manga, manhwa, Korean music, reading, bowling (badly), golf (badly), rollerblading (badly), and cars and driving. I don't think I have a wide range of interests/hobbies.

i think another interesting question was how people ended up with their interests or hobbies..because I know for me it was kind of like a step-by-step process, lol..
i was interested in languages..which got me interested in traveling..and traveling around to different places got me interested in history, other cultures..which got me interested in food, etc etc. also literature, economics, politics are other big ones
i'm more of a social science than physical science (suck at math) person but have always been interested in astronomy too..not sure why
i'm actually surprised i'm not one of those people who changed their major half a dozen times

besides online..hmm..clubs (the non-alcoholic kind), different social groups..work, if your job is the type that attracts intelligent co-workers..really I think it's just random so the more people you meet the greater chance you have

Some interests: photography (I own several slrs and also a tlr), daily sketches in my moleskine sketchbook, disease & pathology as it's related to my career, military history, traveling, majorly girly stuff like handbags, fashion, skincare, and makeup. I also love the great outdoors and places seemingly untouched by civilization. Backcountry camping, roadtripping, hiking, landscape photography, you name it, I love it. Also love quiet time with books and reading light science magazines.

Other interests I would like to get into: cooking. I'm not very good at cooking

Haha hmmm.. Sudoku, traveling, ancient history, classical history, drawing, painting, interior decorating, redecorating old stuff, crafts(sewing, making mini cooper), reading makeup/fashion/interior design blogs, reading, baking, food, photography, watching movies. going to aquariums, zoos, and museums.

I like fishing, but I suck balls at it.

-outdoor stuff: fishing, hunting, camping, making bonfires, rock climbing, boating, mountain biking, hell even tree climbing
-building things.. anything from legos/knex to car parts to a tree house. even furniture is fun to assemble

-conversations while high... which covers astronomy, philosophy, religion, sociology, psychology, etc etc... along with random jokes
-debates while high... can last for days even... but surprisingly we come to an agreeable conclusion at the end

-recently got into reading books. been reading an autobiography on albert einstein
-poker.. or any sort of gambling, really.
-cooking every now and then. at least the eating part for sures.
-martial arts and sparring
-physics... def a new one
-love watching national geographic, bbc, history channel, etc... how can it not be interesting?!?
-huge into music. anything from hip hop to techno to country to classical. good music is good music.
-people. you can learn so much from others
-i still have this destructive urge.. i love breaking things.. lol
-sports. not too big into watching it on TV.. but im down to play whatever, whenever.
-shopping, usually only for my own stuff.
-movies

ehh i might as well make a shorter list of things i dislike lol

My hobbies are drawing, horse-riding, gaming (PS3, Wii, PC and anything retro), bowling, writing. I'm really into skin-care and hair-care products lol! I love wild-life documentaries and going to the zoo; K-pop and J-pop, languages and Disney movies! biggrin.gif

I've never met anyone who shares a love of all these things, but it's okay, I can share some hobbies with certain people.

If I went to a liberal arts school or a big university, I would have switched my major a couple dozen times by now. Instead, I went to a tech school. Thanks to it, I've gotten watered down humanity classes. Woo hoo...

My bf has a lot of hobbies and since we like to do things together, he gets me into a lot of things. We're into photography, roadtripping, animals (mainly dogs and reptiles), gardening, camping, backpacking, baseball, football, jigsaw puzzles, and a lot of other stuff.

We're currently learning how to ride a bike.

cool! this thread is turning out better than i thought it would.
it's good to see that there are people with lots of interests. because there's so much to offer in this world, and these experiences make life more fulfilling. at least that's what i believe.

"i wanted to try it once..." -HG
lol.
for me, when i see anything that sparks my interests, i get into it. and i read and research and learn and play until i'm satisfied with it.

I guess I have a lot of interests and hobbies:

drawing (some painting, but I am too cheap to buy all the equipment for my new apartment)
singing (classic as well as pop)
reading and analyzing literature (I was an English major, so I need to keep my skills at top-notch)
watching and analyzing films
photography (I always have at least two cameras on me)
writing (poetry. I don't enjoy writing fiction or non-fiction)
researching random things for hours on end (a certain painting, historical event, etc)
guitar (4-5 nights a week)
piano (but I don't have a piano where I live now, so now, I do only guitar)
studying Korean and Spanish
fashion (this can also be translated into "shopping", but I enjoy researching it, as well)
bar hopping (go to an area with a few friends, find the weirdest looking bar, have a drink, and then go to another. Most of us do PR for different party/event groups, so it's in our best interest to know about the random and best places to go)
walking (this may sound lame, but I like to just take my ipod and walk around a part of the city that I've never been in)
club scene (this one is a new one. This year, I've become part of several event/party groups, so my weekends are packed with socializing with Seoul's "social elite"...hahaha...the kind of people you seen in all the party photos in a magazine and crap like that. Events like this dominate at least three evenings a week.)
kpop (um, it's fun to know about it...)

I agree. I also have to add napping into my interests. I enjoy a really nice nap in the afternoon either inside or sometimes outside. biggrin.gif

I have a lot of different interests as well. I actually think a lot of people are like that. The world is full of so many different things I think it's hard not to take interest in multiple things. happy.gif

I enjoy:
Video games
Computer games
Art
Drawing
Reading
Cartoons
Animated movies
Camping
Fishing
Nature
Gardening

and there's so so much more~
Some say i'm a genius, others say i'm crazy
but they all say i'm a little on the weird side
