Favourite Interests

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

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.

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

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.  

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

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)

Massive amounts of pining and brooding.

Finally a real man!

if medicine can be melted with biology, I vote biology (although this is purely job-related interest).

Yes, pagan rituals. For example, on the solstices and equinoxes we paint ourselves head to toe in the colour of the beginning season - green for the grass of spring, red for the blossoms of summer, yellowish-brown for the leaves of autumn and white for the snow of winter. Here an example; you can probably guess the season :
