Was filling out an application form the other day when I realized how hard it was for me to give a sensible answer to "Hobbies?"
I have vidya, I have books, I have movies, but beyond that? Nothing worth mentioning. My life's been feeling empty ever since, and I'm looking for a way to fill it up. Of course I could ask you to spoonfeed me a few hobbies and pretend I'll pick them up (though I genuinely am open to trying new things), but let's turn this into a group thing.
What are your hobbies, /adv/? What is it you enjoy about them? What part of what you do makes you passionate about it?
Usually these kinds of threads get more attention. Odd.

Have been here for 5 minutes or so, I missed it.
Common hobby pool aside (vidya, reading, exercising, watching tv shows [...]), I really like stand-up comedy.
I've never done open-mic in public myself, but I did some brief gigs at friends' places.
I've watched (and enjoyed) Louis CK, George Carlin, Ricky Gervais, Russel Peters, Trevor Noah and Bill Maher so far. I don't care much for Chris Rock or Jerry Seinfeld.

depends on how much extra $$$ you have to spend on your free time
maybe a sports league, or golf, or archery, or trapshooting, biking, running, swimming, volunteer with meals on wheels and visit lonely old people, guitar/insturment, different language
if you have $$$ then skydiving, skiing/waterskiing, learn to fly an airplane, motorcycles
Just kinda been picking up the things I feel I should be able to do for myself or family.
Cooking, shooting, small electronics. I like cars, so I've been busy getting a race car together. Look through architecture magazines, I'd like to build a house some day. Day trading (cause no one knows what stocks are in my family and rich people do it). Gonna send in my resume to be an astronaut in 10 years, will I make? No. But I need swimming, running, flight time and to learn Russian just in case. Rosetta Stone, a private pilots license and to complete a triathlon are now on the list.
I can keep going, but you see how these hobbies build

1. If an application is asking for hobbies, LIE LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER! You are advertising yourself to a potential employer and they have no way of checking.
2. Hang out on /diy/ and find a project that looks cool. Hobbies that make things are better than Hobbies that absorb media.
