Hobbies and interests - members lists

I just thought I'd start a topic about what interests and hobbies we have.  Here's some of mine...

  • Tabletop roleplaying games, especially "Doctor Who" (the FASA, Virgin, and Cubicle 7 ones), "Serenity", "Victoriana" and "GURPS".
  • Re-enactment and LARP events.
  • Collecting Doctor Who inspired LARP props.
  • Collecting replica historical coins.
  • Collecting fake pound coins.
  • Video games; mainly, Fallout 3 and GTA at present.
  • Voluntary work; for 15 years, I have been volunteering for a local nature conservation charity.
  • Reading; mainly non-fiction (although I do like Dr Who short story books and collections) such as the Victorian era/1800s, the UK home front during WW2, UK home defence during the Cold War, NBC warfare, special forces, Special Operations Executive, the Goth subculture, amongst others. 
  • Drawing (when I have the patience).
  • TV programmes such as Doctor Who (been a fan since the 1980s), Firefly, Torchwood, Time Team, QI, Have I Got News For You, etc. 
  • Music - Carl McCoy/Fields of the Nephilim/Nefilim, Last Rites, The Eden House, Katie Melua, Midnight Oil, AC/DC, Pink Floyd, etc.
  • All things Goth and the Goth subculture.

    • History – Byzantine, mediæval, 18C, 19C, military history, medical history.
    • Archaeology and palaeopathology: I love mummies and preserved people.
    • Art – various, including Aubrey Beardsley, on whom I've had a major crush since I was 12 or so, and 19C Russian history painting.
    • Literature – wide-ranging – from 12C troubadours (have lots on CD) and Norse poetry to Hardy, Lermontov, Anthony Hope and Victor Hugo.
    • Fantasy - Tolkien (books and films), A Game of Thrones/Song of Ice & Fire, M John Harrison's Viriconium books, Alan Moore's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (books, not film).

    I tend to get crushes on historical and literary characters more than on real live people. Fortunately, it's my line of work.
