Favourite Interests

Finally a real man!

Massive amounts of pining and brooding.

Several of the above subjects interest me, but these ones are a bit stronger than the others:

Physics (Though I could easily just say science in general)

History (in particular genealogy, though I wish I had more knowledge of my ancestry)

Music (like several genres of music, I play bass, and am just starting to learn the drums)

Sports (particularly basketball, hockey, football, and baseball.  I also have a small sports card collection.)

Video Games (all sorts, especially retro gaming and collecting)

Board Games (None in particular.  I find they are a great way to bond with friends and family.  They were a big part of my childhood.)

Engineering (Currently studying Electrical Engineering in university)

The title of this thread reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from the late great George Carlin:

Music (I play the bass guitar and more recently and rather less seriously a newly acquired Jew's Harp, soon to be followed by harmonica), biology (Bachelor's degree this summer, then onto Master's), literature (essentially everything, but a special love for Russian literature and "cult fiction"), history, politics, games (RPGs), cookery from the list.
Everything is interesting though, but you have to prioritize .

Just like Dean, I have a general interest in science, perhaps excluding engineering.
I also love wine, beer and whisky. Not in that way, no need to worry. But fine varieties of all those, including their history, the processes of making them, the cultural and historical part - basically the whole package.  

Music is my biggest interest, but I also voted video games, sports, and literature. 

Good Poll Jen, though the subjects are a bit schoolish for me I voted for a number of them: literature, art (modern), music, archeology/history, architecture, cookery, engineering, design, maths, other.

I would have voted "Arts" or "Visual Arts", but I don't get the separation between "Modern" and "Classical" art. 

Music is first for me, as besides listening to it I enjoy playing it and I'm getting into recording, mixing, etc. courtesy of a class I'm in.  After music, I'd say literature and physics are the next most influential two.

Archaeology/ History (Those Who Know History Are Doomed to Repeat It)
Modern Art (Dali!!!)
Music (Not just rock or prog rock) (most of my collection is prog but there are a few artists I have that won't ever make it here and/or shouldn't be here)
Politics (progressive/liberal)
Video Games (Please Specify) took a long break but am now rediscovering Myst and the others in the series I haven't played yet, MS Flight Simulator, Civilization IV
(Art) Architecture (my career is in it)
Cookery (all kinds of cuisines from around the world, eating and cooking)
Other (Please Specify) (sex, as a personal pastime but also like to watch those shows where people with problems call in )
