2 things I would currently consider my hobbies
Gaming - only one specific game (NS, it's a half-life1 mod). I like NS because there is a lot of community and teamplay. Usually 1 or 2 good players (even really good ones) cannot win it for a team, so it's more about cooperation and communication than individual skill. I like this because it lowers the number of people who brag about themselves. I personally don't care if I win or lose, just playing with people I know is fun enough.
Photography - I started this when I got annoyed with my camera's shutter lag, got a DSLR, then realized I was college student who spent way more than he should have. I felt like I had to pick up this hobby to justify the costs. Hah. But it's becoming better. I like photography in general. I have something to talk about with people (that's not computers ... I already fit into the "young Asian guy who's good at math, science, coding but can't socialize worth a lick" pretty well). I'm understanding this whole field of stuff that I didn't think I'd get into when I first got that camera, so it's been more rewarding that I had thought.
I'm trying to read more, but it's hard to finish a lot of the books I start. I guess my attention span isn't what I thought it was.
