If I was to start a thread dedicated to publishing your own musical creations, would you join me in this venture?Evil Smurf said:

Storytelling.
I'd say writing, but I'm not the one doing the actual writing of our novels right now. My sister isn't working, so she's doing the writing. Just finished one after 4 months. Waiting on feedback from a few people and doign some edits, but work on number two should start soon.
We've always loved making up stories, since childhood. I guess being twins and ... only? .. child(ren)? we've always just been doing everything together. And we've always loved fantasy and have been writing stories since we were kids. I remember writing books in second grade with clever plays on words and double meanings an side-plots and such.
There's something about sitting down together and just talking out a whole story with subplots and everything and then maing it into a story. I get really excited and really happy just coming up with ideas.
So, right now, I'm the breadwinner while my sister does the dirty work of our passion. ... ... ... that came out wrong.

Passion seems like too strong a word to describe anything I do.
I play games quite a bit, but not that much.
I watch anime, but only started recently and I own very few DVDs of the stuff.
I do chemistry at uni, but that's only because I'm naturally good at it.
I play guitar, but only at the weekends and I'm not very good despite 3 or 4 years of practice.
Those are all I can think of, guess I'm too lazy to get passionate about stuff.

Man, I haven't heard it called bird-watching in ages, I completely forgot it was even a thing. What is the bloke-gazing version of bird-watching? Cos I do that.Elementary - Dear Watson said:
I used to have the biggest passion for anything creative. I was quite good at acting, singing, drawing and creative writing. I haven't done any of that in years. I tried to draw just now and it looks like a mangled shoe, I just dropped the pen and felt depressed. I got the urge to start writing again the other month too but I just have no motivation.
I suppose now I'm quite into baking/cooking. I'm no where near good enough as some people but my food always tastes nice.
Hopefully I can really get into my swimming, although I don't have the exact swimmers figure and probably never will...

Movies. I keep an Excel list of every movie I've ever seen, complete with its original title, the director, the year of release, the country where it was made, where I saw it and did I review it? Right now the list is 2459 movies long. It's also filtered so I can check/uncheck certain parameters so I can whip out instantly a list of all the Korean movies I've seen, or all the ones I've seen that were directed by Alfred Hitchcock (32). I'm passionate about ammassing as encyclopedic a knowledge about movies as I can get. So I'm constantly going to film festivals, cinematheques, movie cycles and all that. I love it.
Guitar, always guitar. At least an hour a day, most days at least two or three, not always hugely productive but always fun 
My guitars and my girlfriend are/is the most important things/person in my life
Captcha: bowties are cool
As are you Whovian Captcha, as are you.

Games, I guess. Designing more than playing these days. I just whipped up a card game the other day, think Tic-tac-toe crossbred with Triple Triad. I think it's pretty neat.
I've got stories I'd like to tell, either on paper or in an interactive medium, but I'm just not a very good writer. Not yet anyhow.

Well its not fashion. I'll tell you that.
Roleplaying I guess, seems to be thats what I do now in my spare time.

I've no musical creations, unless you count garage band. I'd join in though.Calibanbutcher said:
Music. Definitely music.
More specifically, I love composing music. I do a lot of writing for short films and games (student stuff, for the most part) and I absolutely love it. Interpreting the imagery through sound is such a satisfying, and sometimes very difficult, task to undertake.
I probably play games more than I actually listen to music, but composing is one of my greatest joys.

Bio-medical engineering. Things I hated like circuits or mechanics pissed me off when I was doing normal engineering but now that I'm in BME there is a purpose behind it all. My true passion though is tissue and biomaterials engineering. It may seem weird but I could look at articles on hydrogel or electrospun scaffolds for hours and not even notice.
I'm a very lukewarm person, but the things that come the closest are 2D art (I've tried to teach myself on many occasions, failed each time) and music (I started learning music but lost my way, and now my bass has a thick layer of dust on it).
I would have to say that it is a toss-up between military history and playing music. I get very passionate when I do either of those things.
It would have to be music, singing and games. But if I had to choose out of one of those, it would be hard but I'd go with singing. It will forever and always be my biggest passion.
THE MEDIA
sure. that sounds very wage and simple but i really, really love the media. when ever i watch a movie, play a video game, follow a TV show, read a book, listen to an audio drama, listen to music, look at paintings and pictures ....etc. i always try to get emotionally involved, i will always try to see the work and intentions put in to it.
i will laugh and rejoice they are whenever a story or piece of imagery which is just perfect and brilliant is presented to me. and i will go ballistic if done wrong. i will praise the writers of amazing stories and i will tell remarketers to go f*** themselves, i will honor the journalistic code and i will become morbid if i see the tmz logo.
