What is a hobby you enjoy, but seems too quirky or obscure to bring up in most conversations?

Mine would be creating pen and paper ciphers for my made up secret communication needs.

Starting and abandoning hobbies.

OK but you didn't have to call me out like that in front of everyone.

I used to hate this about myself until I briefly took up photography.

"I have to take 100 pictures to find 1 i like!" I lamented. "Just like my hobbies!"

Then it clicked. Im not abandoning all my hobbies. Im auditioning them for the role.

It’s just part of my personality by now and I don’t feel bad about it any more. I just keep adding skills to my repertoire and thus have a broad spectrum of things I can talk about and relate with other people.

Me too! Let's start a club!

Don't worry you don't have to show up to the meetings. I won't.

Abandonned Project this year:

  • Get StickBugs
  • Server
  • Building a mechanical watch
  • Trying out Linux (My Linux Journey Journal is 2 page long)
  • Photography with Film Stips
  • Learning Esperanto
  • Learn Korean
  • Learn Fighting Games

Technically stopped:

  • Audiophily (Didn't buy anything)
  • Keyboard ( Happy I'm satisfied with mine)
  • Geocaching (Nothing around me rn)
  • Learn Hypnosis (I did it, I can do it, I just don't go around and train it)
