If you knew how much time I devote to it then trust me, you'd consider it a hobby

Brewing beer, cooking, and roadracing. It's awesome when you can do all three at the same time.

I'm into pretty normal stuff, motorcycles and shooting are pretty standard for this crowd. I also make ringtones for my phone, I don't know why I like it so much. I'm pretty into useless trivia.

I think my weirdest hobby is reading. Nobody I know reads very much, whereas I devour books in hours, even big jobs like Doestevsky. I also enjoy discussing philosophy and religion, but that's not really a hobby.

If I was on the bike and not coming in in the middle of the night, I definitely would. However Im sure it wont be long cuz as soon as Ebbs gets a place I am SO THERE! We'll all go riding! You'll have to come over with him too sometime.

Reading isnt weird, I didnt add it to my list cuz I didnt want to be too huge a nerd, but I'd far rather read a book than watch a movie or tv!

I would too, except mine extends to face-to-face meets with government types, letters to Ministers, and on rare occasion getting involved in organizing a protest/petition.

Then there's the whole track photography thing that ties up most of my weekends for half of the year.

... and people get pissed off when I say that I'm too busy, to get involved in something else.

Nah...too many people have an interest in it so it's not odd or weird.

As for more normal pursuits, photography, scrapbooking (at which I suck) and jewelry making.

I also like cemetaries and old things, and pretty much anything with a bit of "old" catches my attention.

Going to NOLA next weekend and at the top of my agenda is the cemetary tour, the ghost and vampire tour and haunted homes tour! Then the zoo and aquarium.

Remember to take pics! Are you talking about that new place called The Mortuary? From what I understand, that place is THE AWESOME!

I'm married so I don't have any hobbies aside from my kids. Since my bike was totaled , my only outlet now is hunting 4 legged critters. Is beer a hobby?

[CrazyKell]

Lots of normal hobbies (bikes, running, cooking, etc.).

I'm obsessed with trivia. I also like beading.

Nothing too bad but interesting stuff. I was hoping to hear "I compete my 39 cats in cat shows"

For the cemeteries. I do enjoy walking through those. I mainly look to see the age of the average death. Lots of time when you find one with young deaths (Kids and 30year old men) you can about guarantee it was a poor family or area. Older 60+ deaths usually signify wealthier individuals who didn't do manual labor (Which their "Manual" labor was far different than ours. They built a house starting with cutting one of many trees down)

But here is a site I find mountain biking. Obviously redone tombstones...

And the entrance. Which it's called "Cemetary Hill" which is approriate because I feel like lying in a grave and dying after climbing that fucking hill...


Which I guess a weird hobby of mine is taking photos. But not typical artsy closeup shot of a leaf signifying some kind of greater meaning in life. I am known for taking pictures of people or things when they least expect it. I don't like posed pics and everyone I know, knows I always sneak in pics of them.

Damn. Noticed they were in a pose in that pic. I was taking a pic of the gate and they caught me just FYI.

Apparently graveyard interests isn't really odd or weird at all. The ex and I used to go exploring alot in graveyards and old rundown structures. We've explored alot of neat stuff while out riding.

One of my favorites is the remains of a manson in Mississippi. Here's a history plaque.




It's fascinating that the only things that weren't completely destroyed by the fire were the columns.
