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.

    So I thought I'd included my hobbies here;

    • Natural Siences - At the moment I am studying Natural Science as a mature student, I was recently study Oceanography though moved to the open uni.
    • Music - Playing/writing/listiening - I have a huge interest in a variety of music however my most listien to music is probably towards the noisy/stimulating type (for me this is anything from The Mars Volta, Deerhoof or Refused) and electronic (the "upbeat" type but also relaxing (such as Gold Panda). I play guitar mainly, however used to play a bit of paino, trumpet and drums.
    • Moths - I keep track of moth distributions via a Mercury Vapour lamp I have set up in my garden throughout their active periods. There are 2400-ish types of moths that can be present in the UK, so "gotta collect em all" apparently (also the records are sent to County Recrods)
    • Macro Photography - this probably ties into moths, but "close ups".
    • Wild Flower - Basicly weeds to more desirable native plants. I do grow other types more specficially for tortoise and also vege's for "us".
    • Tortoise - I have an interest in their micro climates and diety requirments (I should mention I have a male Hermann's Toirtoise).
    • Games - A big variety Smile, However I have a history of RPG types and strategy games.

    There are more, but, to keep it as simple as possible!
