    Do you guys have any unusual hobbies?

    I don't think I have any. Is playing wow unusual?

    *edited to add*

    I like to stare at old b&w photos from the internet.

    I had someone ask me my hobbies the other day, and I was embarrassed to admit I currently don't have any. Damn living in an apartment and working unpredictable hours.

    I used to swing dance, used to play WoW, used to be a fencer, used to geocache, used to go rock climbing in the mountains at 1 AM...

    I guess world travel could be my hobby now?

    Blacksmithing for a while then I got bored with it. I've bought a boat and will start fishing once it is fixed. Still playing games as a hobby.

    I like Rubik's cubes. Not the boring, easy ones. The crazy ones. I can solve a 7x7 in ~10min.

    I also like to build fight sticks.

    I glue magnets to beer bottle caps and keep them on my fridge, but only for each unique type of cap. If it's already there, I chuck it. I have ~20 right now.

    Modding computers I guess. People are kinda shocked when they see my pc, the general population never really see enthusiast cases or even understand why you would do that.

    It's yet to get me laid so far...

    I can juggle really well, accidentally on purpose.

    Probably because I used to work at a call centre and juggling at my desk whilst on the phone to annoying customers kept me from loosing my shit. (Reading terms and conditions as fast as you can and juggling at the same time is fun too)

    Gardening for sure. Harvesting some nice cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, eggplant, and peppers. Also mowing the lawn, cutting wood, building rock walls. Anything that can be done to make my yard look better.

    I like to read scriptures in my spare time and before bed which some people do find really weird.

    I also watch almost nothing but historical documentaries.

    Well, as a nearly 30-year old woman playing WoW and other games, I do feel at times that I'm considered odd by outsiders. They are usually curious and willing to learn though.

    Other than that my hobbies = animals and movies and books and nature. Nothing unusual there. Although when I was 18 and came to the club to train Schutz with a rottweiler male, I got a few odd stares. Now there's a much more varied roster when it comes to gender in most clubs. <.<

    I'm hoping that when I buy my first house, probably next year, I can avoid having a yard that I'd have to deal with.
