List of Hobbies
The easiest way to find a new hobby is to check out a thorough list of hobbies. If the list is long enough you're bound to find something that looks interesting. We promise this is going to be the largest list of hobbies you've ever seen. I'd like to call it the worlds largest list, but I really have no way of proving it. If you find a hobby list longer than ours please let us know. I'd like to personally congratulate them.

YAY! Youre correct. lOVE your list! =)
If you’re into fishing you could try Gyotaku!
Paint animals. Do collages of animals. Chop up animals and make art out of them(kidding- of course). Do a puppet show with animals as puppets. Teach your dog to paint(somehow). Learn the art of animal speak(ya i’ve really talked to animals on occasion- don’t tell anyone). I guess what i’m trying to say is that you don’t have to limit yourself to 1 or the other. One CAN combine hobbie/ interests’.
Dude, he was kidding. It was just a little joke… no animals harmed in the making of his comment.
Amazing job. Thanks.

so, i need a hobby. i’ve been trying to find one for WEEKS and still no luck. even after reading this great website, i have NO IDEAS! i am not good at running, and i have the pain threshold of a chipmunk, so most sports are out. i would do knitting, but i can’t STAND to sit around for more than like 2 minutes. i can’t watch tv, i can rarely use the computer, and i will not ever consider WALKING a hobby. you have to walk! it’s not really a choice. here’s alist of other things i refuse to do. (gardening) (writing) (acting) (taking pictures) (doing puzzles of any kind). help!
Expanding your horizons?
Ditto
NO need to expand your horizons! A hobby HAS to be intellectually engaging and POSSIBLY spiritually rewarding as well if youre lucky… but thats a harder bill to fill.
Rhonna, start with the gifts you were born with. Are you artistic? Or even if your not… there are plenty of popular artists who suck. Are you artistic and anti-authoritarian? Learn how to make computer viruses! Since you cant sit down for 3 minutes, what is it you do as you wander about your home? Start a blog on living with OCD… people LOVE to see and read about others with problems bigger than theirs.
My point is… pick something you’re good at and then pervert it just a little bit to make it yours.
Good luck!
Archery
balloon popping,can openning,chalk eating,tai chi,”wheres waldo?” ing,candle burning,recycling,door knob collecting,singing in the shower,social networking(facebook,pintrest,twitter,email,etc)

Anyone have an idea on what else *I* would be interested in? I can’t seem to bring myself to do any of the things listed nor do I know what else I would like besides these things. Any recommended hobbies based on what I do now? :
Drawing, painting, taking pictures, writing or reading, playing piano, computers, fixing things (TV’s, hooking up DVD players, basically electronic things) and watching TV/cartoons. I don’t know… I still seem to find myself with nothing to do even though I have these hobbies, and they can get a little monotonous after a while.
Also, I refuse to do cooking, sports, singing or dancing. I despise them… MAN, am I ever picky! Thanks.
photography?
You overlooked Racing Pigeons, a great hobby for the young and the old. Join a pigeon racing club or just race your birds for the fun of it.

Lyric writing?
Well I’m already doing the foreign language (Japanese)
So I think I’ll do caligraphy because my hand writing also needs improvement!
Thanx!
while looking for a hobby, I have another suggestion. How about looking for a hobby as a hobby.
Reading novels, chatting, travelling, can’t these be hobbies?
Archery should be added on the list.
Party Planning
you should add hockey
