I say it's a pretty fair guess that if you're hanging out in this forum that you list anime amongst your list of hobbies. I'm curious what other hobbies people have beyond sitting in front of a TV for long hours followed by sitting in front of a keyboard for a few more hours.
I'm one of those guys that collects hobbies. Anime just happens to be one of my longest running hobbies. I've also been collecting comic books since Jack Kirby seemed to fill the newsstand with new comics every month.
From 1986 till last month I collected music CDs. I had over 500 CDs but sold them all to buy my new camera.
Photography is another hobby of mine. Although I don't think I can call it a hobby since I have a degree in photography and am busy trying to make my living with my camera.
My dad and I built our first computer together back in 1979 and I've been toying around with them ever since. My first modem was 300 baud and my first hard drive was 10Mb. I remember using 8" floppies on Commodore Pets. Computers led to video games and I've never really stopped playing them since they first came out.
I've also been playing role playing games since the early 80s. I still get together with the guys and game every Thursday night. Currently, we're playing version 3.5 of AD&D although we have played a wide variety of games over the years.
The final long term hobby that I just got home from is doing medieval recreations in the Society for Creative Anachronism. I own a full suit of armour and enjoy full contact combat using swords made from rattan.
More recent hobbies include Stikfas, Micro RC cars, trading radio programs, Warhammer 40k (almost like role playing games but way more obsessive), and collecting watches. I used to compete internationally in pinball tournaments and there was a time (before I was married) where I would make a weekend long road trip with my roommates at least once a month.
