My Hobby:

[Shro]

I want to start a "My Hobby:" Thread, along the lines of http://xkcd.com/c53.html and http://xkcd.com/c37.html and such. I was considering putting this in general, but I figured that it would probably get pretty ridiculous eventually. But I'll start with a true one.

My Hobby: Spraying perfume into a candle and watching it go WHOOOSH.

[Peshmerga]

My hobby: Making a harmonic tune by popping my fingers.

[Captain_Thunder]

My hobby: Seeing how many mental disorders I can get labled with in one day.

[Owijad]

My hobby: When someone approaches me and my friends while we're talking, but doesn't enter the conversation within two minutes, I start paying very close attention to them. The second they open their mouth to talk, I whirl around, point at them harshly, put on the crazy eyes, and bark "You'll speak when spoken to!".

Cracks me up.

Sounds like fun.

My Hobby: Telling people thier own fantastic stories (("So, when he backed down the drivway, he ran SMACK into the box of antique ornaments..." "Yeah, I know. My mom was really pissed at me for that")) and acting shocked when they finish for you/hate you for reminding them.

[A neutral shade of black.]

My hobby: being the most despicable excuse for a human being you'll likely ever meet.

[thebox]

My hobby: Abruptly ending conversations with creepy phrases like "Your pillows smell good".

[simen]

My hobby: Parking my bike unlocked outside large convenience stores, and when someone tries to take it, I run outside and scare them.

[Anmorata]

My hobby: Collecting far too many interesting books that I never have time to read.

[peace]

My Hobby: pretending to fall down and act hurt, and then when people come to help, i jump up and run away screaming

[tendays]

My hobby: Collecting far too many interesting books that I never have time to read.

It's nice to have more books than you'll ever be able to read, because it means that any time you want to read something you know there'll be a book waiting for you.

So I try to do that as well. I have lots of cool/interesting looking books in my library that I have hardly ever opened.
If I did not I'd be afraid to read, thinking I might some day close a book and realise there's nothing else to read in my home. That would be like being broke or out of food or something. Very bad.

Exactly.

my hobby: acting oblivious to sarcasm or any form of indirect statement

Much fun.

[Ren]

My hobby: Putting as much redundancy as possible into my sentences.

E.G. "Run! Quickly, and with much speed!"

[Akira]

My Hobby: feigning multiple personalities, often with an exaggerated tell when i switch (ie: violent spasms)

[Jakell]

My Hobby: Shining lasers through stuff just to see the interference patterns. Sparkly...
ALSO, I leave qwantz.com open on all the public computers I pass throughout the day!

[silverhammermba]

My hobby: Ending conversations with quickly uttered, uncomfortable phrases such as "I love the way you make me laugh" and then briskly walking away

[Nidht]

My Hobby: Creeping up behind people, friends or otherwise, and quietly, quickly muttering, "I'm standing right next you," within an inch of their ear.

[Mother Superior]

My hobby: Reading books/watching movies/listening to music no-one else in my circle of friends has ever heard of, cause it makes me feel superior.

[Street Mathician]

My Hobby: Making everybody I meet know that I am more geeky than they are. Even when I don't want to.

[Macho Nachos]

My Hobby: Abruptly starting to completely ignore someone in the middle of a conversation (with them). I only do it to my close friends, and it drives one of them up the wall. I then see how long I can keep a straight face while he tries to get my attention back.

[Gelsamel]

My Hobby: Owning.

[warriorness]

My Hobby: Answering "Why don't you...?" suggestions literally. Example: "Why don't you wash the dishes after dinner tonight?" "Because I'd much rather do something else."

[Inky]

My Hobby: Running lots of Windows software to emulate features from Linux and OSX; then watching people's puzzled faces as they try to figure out what OS I'm running.

My desktop is pretty ambiguous, apparently, and I don't even attempt emulating any other OSes. Granted, it's incredibly minimalistic, but still it shouldn't be that hard. I've even been mistaken for OSX before, which doesn't make any sense to me (as OSX absolutely MUST look a certain way).

And how.

also...
my hobby: Over-using catch phrases.
my hobby: Driving fast

[flashfrozen]

my hobby: using obscure quotes from people who are relative in herd of



like Mama Cass [loud coiffing and hacking like some one is dying]

[bbctol]

My Hobby: Telling people they're too dumb to understand when they're being insulted, but doing it obliquely, so they don't understand they'e being insulted at all. Sort of a recursive insult. I wrote a play for my school that was a fairly blatant isult towards the awful drama teacher, and she didn't notice (heehee...).

I thought hobbies are something you choose to do. I do that by instinct.

My hobby: Make people wanna kill me by telling them how superior Linux is to Windows. All the time.

[German Sausage]

my hobby: pretendin mark twain said things he coulnd not possibly have said.
"how do i fix this?"
"in the immortal words of mark twain, "match the colours on the av leads, and it should work. unless the cable is broken."

[JuliaGlass]

My hobby: Collecting random pieces of junk I find (rusty nails, bottle caps, any litter that isn't overly disgusting) and putting it in a shoebox that is buried in my closet, with the idea that somebody will find it some day and think that this stuff has some emotional significance to me.

[kira]

My hobby: Walking up behind my students and pretending to read notes over their shoulder. You'd be surprised how long it takes some of them to notice that I'm there.

[Akira]

My hobby: Walking up behind my students and pretending to read notes over their shoulder. You'd be surprised how long it takes some of them to notice that I'm there.

I had a teacher who did that, but i'd always notice. I get chills everytime someone's close behind me.


Unless i'm thoroughly engrossed in something (usually non-class-related). In which case they stand there for a while and then walk away, and i suddenly notice jsut as they pass me...... haha...

My Hobby: Correcting my english teacher's pronounciation, and declaring myself above her class, and watching as she writhes helplessly, unable to disagree.

My Hobby Pt 2: Constantly reminding my classmates how much better than them I am, and laughing as they can't think up responses.

*evil laugh*

No sense denying it.

[Shpadoinkle]

It's not really a hobby, but occasionally I'll deliberately piss people off for no reason than because I dislike the person, then ask them what's wrong, or tell them they need to learn how to relax. I've also pretended to support profoundly stupid ideas (like coverting all of the land in the country not already paved to farmland for the sole purpose of growing corn to make ethanol, so we can use it alone instead of gasoline, and just buy food from other countries instead of growing it ourselves, or something like shutting down all the power plants and building sh*tloads of solar panels and stuff to power people's homes for a total of four hours a day, each), then timed how long it takes for the other person to catch on that I was actually mocking those ideas, or just wasting thier time.

[Popliteal]

My Hobby: Referring to garbage cans as refuse bins
