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.

    "Console peasant" isn't my own turn of phrase, but instead, PC gamers label any console gamer as a "console peasant," and PC gamers label themselves as the "PC master race."

    I like going on social media such as Facebook and I enjoy making as well as watching videos on the pinnacle of MP4 media site: YouTube. (Sorry if YouTube videos aren't examples of MP4's!)

    Also, I don't have the patience to make one post comprised of EVERYTHING I like, so I've lied about listing all of my interests/hobbies. However, a lot of them were stated there. I think I'm experiencing what's known as gamer fatigue, which is just a non-scientific way of saying that your brain is becoming desensitised to the enjoyment from video games. The way I am trying to cure this hardly mitigates the situation, because I'm playing video games - well not at the moment. Since I am dependent on a routine, and video games being apart of that routine, I am being very helpful.

    As well as the hobbies aforementioned, I'm learning German; my sentence structure is very basic in my opinion. Here are some sentences:

    Mein Deutsch ist nicht sehr gut, oder ist es? Ich liebe Deutsch! Ich bin nicht wichtig, und ich bin zurückgeblieben!

    Reader of this: "Das ist reicht Deutsch für mir!"

    I know it's not the best, but I'm still learning it.
