I'll start:

I'm fascinated by art. I can spend hours in an art museum or gallery.

I also enjoy making candy, only CMA knows this.
 
Why would you not share that you enjoy art with the LR? I love museums and art galleries. One of the reasons why I wanted to leave Tallahassee was to get closer to museums and art shows.
 
I love DQ's wife and trying new bbq restaurants.

What's your favorite museum? I love MoMA/NY
 
I have people that tell other people what my interests are.

I enjoy art galleries as well. But museums are even more of a favorite, as are historical sites. I like going to those car cruise in events from time to time to see hobbyist's restored American cars.

ridiculous home improvement projects.

Milfs.
I am planning on renovating my bathroom, love picking out the tiles and conceptualizing what it will look at. But the project itself scares me. I want it done right, so I'll probably hire someone.
 
Coming up with interesting ways of spending the obscene amount of money that I make. So many dollars, so little time.
 
I love to sit on the beach and watch the sunrise or a full moon rise. I must have 1000s of photos of these events. It was very soothing to me, especially during my divorce. I used to go every morning when I was living on the beach. I truly miss that.
 
I try to go to a lot of orchestral performances, operas, broadway shows, even ballets. Living around DC has helped a lot, since I'm close to both Wolf Trap and the Kennedy Center. I've seen maybe 20-24 performances between those two venues, maybe 4 shows in NYC, and a few others back when I was in Dallas. I've also found that some of the movie theatres do live simulcasts of the Met Opera performances. This weekend we're going to see La Donna del Lago, which I'm looking forward to.

I also belong to a "wine club" at one of the wineries near where I live. I live out in the sticks, and one of the benefits is that in/around my town there are maybe 6 wineries, 3 breweries and a distillery. It's a good area to live in if you like wine and classical music.

It's funny, because I also like a lot of other music - like early punk (see my below sig pic...), rap/hip hop, older country music, etc. But I also really like classical music - even though I know very little about it.
 
right now I can't think of a single thing I haven't shared at least at some point with the LR... Christianity, Family, job, noles (duh), Community, Windows Phone, tennis, gardening/yard maint, my kids' activities.... I'm drawing a blank. I'm not really that interesting as you can see...
 
I can look at a detailed map for hours and also love studying the history of ancient ethnic groups. I get a nerd boner when going down the wiki rabbit hole and researching the Huns, Mongols, Turks, Germanic Norse, Kalahari Bushmen, etc. If I see a map like below, forget about it, I'm on wiki for at least 30 mins researching shit.

I am probably the same way now that you mention it. Been around long enough that I have likely mentioned just about all of my inrterests/activities.
 
I do Crossfit...wait of course you all know this :)

I have a large family that I'm very close with and spend lots of time with.

Just had a baby boy...2 weeks old

I play guitar

I like to cook

I lived in 5 cities over the past 3 years. (Panama City, Austin, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa)

Another one I forgot to mention.

I'm big into my Faith and love me some Jesus. I pray before every meal, first thing in the morning, and before bed at night.

I'm far from perfect though (shocking, I know) , and I cuss like a sailor.

I like to watch birds; go to church every Sunday; consider myself a Southerner even though I was born in West Palm Beach; and really would like to move out of the state of Florida.

Fascinated by Bigfoot stories and photos of those who think they saw one.

Do I really think they exist? No, but I think it would be awesome if there were.

I fish. Fresh and saltwater.
I traveled all over the Southeast and occasionally farther, during the '80's playing softball. Best finish was 8th place in the USSSA A division nationals in around 1987. I don't think we ever played against a trans. Not that I know of anyway.
 
Got to see Nureyev and Fonteyn in Swan Lake the same year I saw Andre Segovia perform. All near the end of their careers
 
I've probably mentioned these from time to time, but as far as unique characteristics or interests:

- I like almost exclusively 1960's pop/rock/folk music, and have a broader knowledge of it (the groups, songs and who recorded what) than most people my age or 10-20 years older (I'm 42)

- My favorite sport after college football is boxing

- My favorite hobby is buying stuff at thrift shops and reselling it on Ebay at a profit.

- I won't use a dresser for clothes

- I've never been to Disney

- I'm obsessed with college football conference realligment

I have been known occasionally to go scuba diving.

Seriously though I am the epitome of a manly back country redneck less the drinking and hell raising but I love art galleries and theater. I actually like the small community type and low budget shows rather than the big time production shows. One of the best I have seen was last year at Chipola College in Marianna when they performed the Sound of Music. I went because my wife was friends with an aunt of the lead actress. Incredible amount of talent for such a small area to pick from.
I never like the show when I was a kid and it first aired but I really enjoyed this production.
 
Going on Warchant. I have no time for any other hobbies, interests, etc. because I spend all of my time on Warchant.

See, this is what I would like to be, a thief. Right now I don't have the balls to take a dollar out of my daughter's stash of change, but I want to be able to steal an expensive necklace and other heirlooms from some old lady before she dies and wills stuff to her snotty, privileged daughter/grandaughter who is counting the days before he mother/grandmother dies.

Do we have to bring race into everything?

Well. That's what it's called by the African American girl that asked me to play.

Impressive. Are you referring to coed play? Because I play coed and womens.

No. Men's league. We started out in the D division (no homeruns allowed) but kept winning and ended up as an A team (no homerun limit). Being on the road 3-4 weekends a month every summer was a blast. We had a great sponsor who paid all the expenses including extras if your wife/girlfriend came along.
