You mention that you like writing and food. Why not try your hand as a food critic? You also mentioned film, you could do the same with film.

Write a book, start a band, get into a local "scene" (other than the club scene, since you mentioned distaste for it). Is there a good rock/punk/emo/polka circuit in your area? Check it out. Go to local shows, find bands you've never heard, follow the ones you like. Get to know them. Start helping at the shows (tearing down equipment, running the soundboard, polishing their boots, whatever). It can be a lot of fun.

As has been mentioned, volunteer or try learning a new skill. All very fun and hella rewarding.

Want something off the wall (but profitable)? Learn magic. I used to make tons of money (and meet new people) doing magic shows around my area. I still find some people that know me as "the magic guy", even though I haven't done BIG shows in almost a year (college cut down on my performing time).

If you like cars, learn to work on them. I'm teaching myself bodywork and custom painting, and it's been really rewarding.
