What are peoples 'special' interests?

Im curious to know what other peoples interests/hobbys are.  Recently I have been studying/growing mushrooms/mycology.  

Before that, it was keeping/breeding tarantulas and invertebrates.  I also have a vast knowledge of insectivorous plants.  As a kid, i practically knew every football player who played in each team.  Was obcessed.  Not so much now.  

So, what is everyone else like to study or spend time one?

  • I'm not sure if this is typical but I get I obsessed with topics for short durations,maybe a couple of months. The gym has been a mainstay that has floated in and out my life but others have been

    Open razors and old fashioned razors

    Wild camping 

    Bicycle repair and riding

    Budgeting, stock market

    Does anyone else jump between interests?

    Thanks 

  • Yes, I get wholly obsessed with a topic and all associated satellite matters......until I'm not.  Then I'll find a new thing that will TOTALLY grip me.  The duration can vary from a few weeks to a year or more.  It's pretty cool in some ways, but massively selfish in others.  It does make me surprisingly knowledgeable over a wide array of random things.
