I do yoga. not exciting i know but nobody else i know seems to do it.

I also can dream while i’m awake (like a daydream but i can still see and hear everything that’s happening and it usually happens while i’m in bed at night) more of a skill than a hobby tho

    When I have the time I make stadiums, streets, and buildings out of pennies. Stemmed from teachers and parents giving me pennies as a visual for math, but getting distracted or bored and creating cities.

    I am on a tap-dancing team, and I like to compose my own piano songs. The tap dancing is on a weekly basis, but the compositions vary.

    I like making the cocoa shapes and patterns on top of drinks like hot chocolates and coffees

    Origami (paper folding). I've been learning many different models for almost 30 years, including kirigami (same as origami, but involves cutting)

    During lockdown, I got really into pond scum. Algae, cyano bacteria, purple sulfur bacteria, iron-eating biofilms, you name it. I spent nights pouring over online field guids and scientific journals, trying to learn as much about it as I could. I would get on google maps and switch it over to satellite view to look for ponds I could get to without anyone caring if I was there. I would go out with spoons and jars and little ziplock baggies, and even a tiny fish net so I could look at the minnows while I waded up my ankles in mud and collected scum. It was actually perfect, because nobody else would ever be around, and of course, everything else was closed. I kept all my samples in pretty jars lined up on the window sills in my sun room, and learned how to feed and water and care for them. I toyed with the idea of trying to create my own pet stromatilite (which I'm kind of morbidly obsessed with). The other thing about all this was that I had only just moved to the area right before the pandemic, and it was honestly about the funnest way I can think of to learn about the roads and environment of my new home. I don't do it as much anymore, but I still have most of my samples. Maybe I'll get back into it this summer.

    That is very unique! Not my cup of tea, but I'm oddly happy that someone out there is into it.

    Not unique or cool but definitely weird. I do origami with starburst wrappers. They’re so tiny. My husband carries a heart that I made in his wallet and he thinks I don’t know. I sometimes do it at restaurants when I’m bored or nervous too.

    I have fallen out of it in recent years, but I used to rescue sick betta fish from those little cups at pet stores. I would bring them home, research their symptoms, diagnose them and nurse them to health. I learned a ton about tropical fish illnesses, and it was so gratifying to see them flourish. They're so beautiful. I recently saw the photography post of bettas on BP and reminisced a lot! At one point I had 22 in individual tanks. I had to step it back a bit....

    I collect old V.C. Andrews books, mainly FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC, for the various cover artworks. The books must be written by her and not that p.o.s. ghostwriter.
