moxiebean Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 My current hobbies include building cigar box guitars and circuit-bending electronic kiddie toys and 1980's-era keyboards. I also paint/draw but I consider that more a calling than a hobby. As a kid I was an obsessive stamp collector until I hit puberty and discovered that girls were far more interesting. Not too long ago I realized that my day job as a visual resources curator isn't much different than collecting stamps (ie. I acquire things and put them in order) - I can't believe it took me 15-odd years to make at connection. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As a kid I was an obsessive stamp collector until I hit puberty and discovered that girls were far more interesting. they are certainly more fun to lick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lamradio Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Writing, recording, performing music is #1 of course. It's a hobby and a second job. I'm also a total video game geek, mostly war games. I also work part time for a game company that designs war games (our first release Scourge Of War: Gettysburg). It's more of a hobby too, but I also get paid so it's sort of a 3rd job... I'm a complete history geek, especially Civil War History. I read the books etc., also visit a battlefield at least once a year. I also get involved with my kids activities. My 5 and 6 year old boys just finished their first year of T-ball. They won one game! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody Girl Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I try to get a poster for every concert I go to. It works out well with bands like Wilco and Drive-By Truckers, who always have posters. Others I haven't been so fortunate with. I would guesstimate I have around 60 posters. Hopefully someday I'll have a house big enough to hang them all up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The High Heat Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 A very special free gift to the person to identify the movie this quote comes from without using Google. Good Will Hunting? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lynch Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Good Will Hunting? I think that might be right. I know it's in a movie I have seen recently. I collect dysfunctional relationships with women, apparently. Yup, it's the truth. I am writing the best songs I have ever written now though, so that is some good consolation......

u2roolz Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Your avatar worked with an actor who worked with this actor in a different movie (edit part deux: this movie is on tv right now), but same year. (Edit: Technically it's not the year of wide release for the above mentioned film, but the limited release which was the year prior.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

English St Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Music, writing, illustrating, photography, for my own benefit really, I am pretty ordinary. I collect guitars, mainly cheap, crappy ones, by makers like Rokaxe. I think there are 8 presently. My last three were by Ibanez, Gretsch & Martin, so at least something is improving, though not my abilities. I want an American Tele next, blonde with maple fretboard... I used to collect football cards and autographs, not so much anymore. Did get Neil & Tim Finn to sign my Split Enz programme. I have also collected a resume of really bad jobs. I quit the most recent one today after it was reduced to 40hrs/annum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouisvilleGreg Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I've been an incurable archivist for most of my life. I used to do my own weekly top 20 records billboard type chart when I was a kid. I self published a magazine for our neighborhood wrestling division. During my 13 years in Richmond I for a large period of time lived in a house that doubled as a radical community lending library. Taking it as serious as a professional librarian I began a file folder collection. That is to say that I did something very 20th cenrtury, if not 19th century, I clipped newspaper aerticles from the daily paper and 3 weeklies and sorted them accordingly to topic. I probably accumulated 50 or so folders dealing with most old and historic neighborhoods in the city, city politics, urban planning and studies, political theory, labor struggles, gender, race and class studies, you get the picture, it was a major labor of love, and probably one of the greatest accomplishments of my time in Richmond. In a similar vein, I like to document old, fading and impoverished neighborhoods in photo and document them on my flickr site. I did much of Richmond and have been taking a stab at Louisville since I got here. I have probably 1,000 records in alphabetical and chronological order. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

radiatortunes Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I collect Toronto Blue Jays pocket schedules. But I'm missing their first 9 seasons ('77-'85). So it isn't such a great collection. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I'm growing three tomato plants for the first time in my life this summer, and I love checking on them every day. Grosse Point Blank, FYI. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
