Nerd-iest Hobby?

My brother got a new Lionel train in 1957. The transformer disappeared in the 60s sometime. I now have it mounted on a section of track on a shelf over my living room windows.

 

 

What gauge is it? Might be worth a little bit...

No idea. The cars are about 10 inches long or so. O gauge maybe? I have the engine, coal car, boxcar, a black open topped one of some sort, a blue one with milk containers(?) and the caboose.

Hm...

 

Where do I start?

 

Seriously, I have boxes and boxes of comic books under my desk, in my closet, on shelves in my room, and the collection keeps growing. I also have a book of autographs with signatures from Neal Adams, Jim Starlin, Mike Mignola, Jeff Smith, the late, great **** Giordano...and a few more.

 

I have the majority of the Godzilla franchise on either VHS or DVD.

 

I'm an avid reader of science fiction. Less avid now than I have been in the past, but once things quiet down with Senior year and preparing for college I'm probably going to throw myself right into it again.

 

I'm a Rush fan. I have all of their music on CD.

 

I have a medium-sized collection of action figures and plastic model kits, most of them fully assembled and painted.

 

I spent some time a few years ago playing World of Warcraft and a few other online games, but I didn't want to keep paying subscription costs so I quit. I might pick it up again some day, although I know I shouldn't.

 

Every now and then I get comments that I ought to grow up. I really have no plans on growing up any time soon, at least not in terms of my interests/hobbies/quirks.

Sports Cards: Lots of Baseball, Football and Basketball.

Michael Jordan is probably my most expensive card and would fetch me $750.00 if I were to sell it.

Buying and selling collections all the time.

Let me know if you want to get rid of your old cards.

I'm doing online classes to try and get a Degree in Anthropology. I also read quite frequently about philosophy and religion (note here I'm not a religious person), I'm also into true crime books.

 

But other than that I'm 100% rock n roll 100% of the time.

I think this forum is honestly the "nerdiest" thing I do;

I agree 100%.

 

Politics is my passion' date=' spend a lot of time involved in that locally.

 

I have a side business selling guns, and do a little shooting.

I fly airplanes when I have time and cash to spare.

 

Ride my motorcycle or take my truck out into the desert/mountains, exploring and such.

Love NHRA Top Fuel or sportsmen's class drag racing.

 

Watch live local bands when I can, catch the odd concert/club show.

Go play a few songs at a gig with my friends occasionally.

 

I built nearly 100 plastic models as a kid, mostly WWII airplanes.

I have some N scale model railroad equipment that has never been put together.

 

Never was a gamer, I don't even send text messages.

Rarely watch movies, don't know any card games or tricks.

Give a sh!t less about sports, aside from the rare NFL game.

 

 

Fess up!

As for "growing up..." Naaaah.

 

There's a difference to me between "growing up" and "accepting responsibility." I'll do the latter, but the former?

 

I think when you lose a sense of wonder, and a sense of fun, you may as well cash in.

 

Oh... if I'm not working, doing some occasional physical training forms, or doing guitar-related stuff... <grin> I'm a total history nut; I haven't had the time lately, but I very much have fun doing a first person living historian thing and staying entirely in character... Time period, usually 1861 to roughly 1877. Usually military, occasionally civilian.
