What are your hobbies??

Djing, finding new music, outdoor dance parties, surfing, boxing + gym, football (soccer), bush walking, reading, watching documentaries.

Went through a heavy patch of depression and couldn't enjoy these things but now I'm starting to feel emotion from them again and I couldn't be happier
 
The hobbies I engage in are variegated and some are difficult to describe. A laconic answer would be thus:
Reading
Writing
Talking
Learning (to wit; languages, philosophy, formal sciences, mathematics, natural sciences, physical sciences, a small subset of social sciences)
Thinking
Sex
Masturbation
Taking drugs
 
growing plants
knitting
cooking
baking
making stuff (out of other stuff:))
singing
walking/hiking
altering books
altered consciousness board games
reading
independent films
traveling
learning español
stand up paddling (ocean)
beading
public improv
sewing
second-hand store/flea market hunting (serious addiction)
listening to music while doing everything else (that's more a requirement than a hobby though)
collecting sea glass
building miniature houses
making lanterns
collecting old and weird rabbits--especially wood or paper mache
making paste paper and marbled paper for books
meditative doodling (ridiculously called zentangle)
embroidery

so.....if anyone is ever bored, just come to my house--something will be happening--more than likely three things at once.=D

@effect--I would trade my whole list for being able to skateboard. Think I'll have to hope for that in my next life.
 
Writing, video games, cooking, and experimenting with weird things (not chemicals.) Once I get out of whatever funk I'm in, I want to go back to hula hooping, yoga, and dancing on a regular basis, though. I have really let myself go, and it's bringing my motivation down.
 
Spirituality, meditation, mountaneering, reading, painting, writing, movies, trekking, living in nature, travelling.
 
I enjoy reading, writing, stretching/exercise, and meditation. Also taking care of animals is a huge part of my life being that I have a dog, two cats, a twenty gallon fish tank, a 3.5 gallon tank and a 37 gallon tank stocked with fish. I hope to have a bigger tank soon to go along with these, maybe a 55 or 75 gallon. I am new to the hobby and obsessed. It is a lot of maintenance work but I definatly get a lot out of it. There is nothing more relaxing then sitting in a comfy chair and staring at a fish tank not thinking or having a care in the world.
 
Snowboarding, playing bass and guitar, reading, cooking, running. Am gonna get into gardening soonish.

Do you change the water? I've been told that using air pumps is enough. Is that true?

It is not true. Water change is very important for the fish. Don't change too much of the water at a time though and be sure to make sure the water is a proper temparature or you can kill your fish! Also make sure you add something to remove chlorine\chloramines to tap water or you will kill your fish!

Eyyyyy, is this actually a good place to meet girls how's it working out for ya??

I don't use it to meet "chicks," although there are inevitably chicks.

The best way to meet women is to be autonomous whilst pursuing your passions. I don't go where women are; I do what I love and women meet me.
 
I'm a bit of a computer gamer who also loves the shit out of many musical genres, to the point that everyday people always give strange looks when I put ANY of my music on. Think post-psych rock, dark ambient, electronic ambient / soundscapes.

I love to read non-fiction especially really challenging stuff, I get a lot of intellectual stimulation from post-grad psychology stuff, been reading a bit of philosophy, particle physics, and for some reason I find mathematics to be appealing though I'm only moderately 'good' at it.

Always love it when I get to do my car repairs myself. Thinking of joining my mum outside in the garden.

Picked up some photo editing software and some digital painting software recently. Love the feel of programming. But still trying to get healthy and motivated after schizophrenia (a hallmark of which is motivation difficulty).
 
When it comes to reading books, history books is what really gets me reading, and history is definitely my forte. I know for many it might seem boring but for me I am always fascinated reading about ancient kingdoms, artifacts, historical events and evolution.
