I'm a huge nerd, and one of my hobbies is the weather. Meteorology, to be precise. (I'm not so fond of the perky TV weather-people.) I also sometimes like to write terrible comical erotica. Usually while I'm in a boring class.

Do you have any hobbies that you're rather ashamed to list when people ask you about your "interests"?

Thats wierd I was just thinking about a guy I knew, he would watch the weather channel morning noon and night. Every single time I went to his house he was just sitting there watching the weather.

One time his dog threw up in my shoe......after that I didnt really go there much anymore.

Ew to both statements!

I don't really like the weather channel. It's awfully glossed over, and their little "news" tidbits aren't very well done either. We have a local weather guy here who doesn't talk down to us...he'll go over the pressure systems and the fronts and he'll show us the original images that he looked at. He's very cool. And of coures, by "cool" I mean "nerdy" in the way that I like!

Well sure I think that goes without saying.







I like to watch the NASA channel when were in orbit, satellite video of the shuttle orbiting earth is pretty cool, I try to guess where they are.

Not really a hobby but I love to watch "antique Roadshow" my kid calls that Geek TV, as well I love to read and watch about how things are made, build, manufactured you know the show"how do they do that" Lovei t.

And past rather nerdy hobby I used to pen pal loads up to 50 at one time. None now but may start up again.

you should see the ones I brought down from mt. snowdon! I built a mini stonehenge in a glass bowl and put floating candles in it! WAY COOL!

That really sounds cool. You should post a picture.

Will do! It is cool! It turned out better than I had hoped!

LOL! I used to do that at my cousins place! White river. We skipped so many over, now you can walk across it!:yh_laugh

OMG those are all I collect now, and being that I live near the mountains I got all sorts of colored ones. My fave is a lovely black and brown stripey skipper. I put them in my little fountain that I run in my bedroom.

Rave you would love the area east of me, badlands, plenty of archeology goodies there, dinosaurs hehehehehe

I love stuff like that. But I'm rather an outdoorsy kind of girl anyway.

The nerdiest thing I guess I do is use my PC, of which I'm not that profecient at anyway. So maybe I'm not that nerdie afterall?

I don't suppose anyone remembers a set of magazines called 'Treasures of the Earth.' They had 1 issue every fortnight, which contained your own little treasure every week, and came with a 30 page booklet which had lots of interesting rock related info inside it.

Man I loved it so much that I became a member and collected nearly every issue that was printed. Cost me a lot, but heck was I pleased when a new issue came through that door.

We got another one!!

nah......that just makes you a computer geek.:yh_bigsmi

i love antiques and history books

Haha, be quiet don't tell anyone, it's our little secret.

My dad is really into Genealogy and spends hours every day looking up our ancestors and the like. Some people may class that as being a nerdy hobby, but it's actually really interesting, even for me.

oh heck no!! LOL!

It's out in the open now, mate! :yh_laugh There is no shame!

That's pretty much the point of this thread. I knew we were all geeks!

This is a shocking confession.....COLLECTING THIMBLES....don't worry I came to my senses and gave them all away.

IM A GEEK....IM A GEEK !

My hobbie is collecting pens! Must have over 3000 different pens. My husband thinks I'm nuts.:rolleyes: Can't leave a store without adding to my collection.
