Unusual or Odd Hobbies

Anybody have any? I've got two.

1. Balisong flipping. AKA. Playing with a butterfly knife. XD I have a trainer, a non-bladed butterfly knife, and I spend my spare time looking up youtube videos on how to do tricks with it. It was hard at first but I've gotten to intermediate level and can flip pretty fast. It's led to a few stories of me doing completely AWESOME things with it and impressing other people. But mostly its me sitting in a room jamming my fingers or accidentally flinging a hung of steel across the room XD I really want people to be like "dude show me some tricks" but no one ever seems the slightest bit interested. It pains me.

2. This is more of something I WANT to do. Which is learn folk songs and the like and be able to sing them. I am by no means a singer, but I feel like its just nice to be able to have someone in modern days thats totally a bard.

I suddenly want to mix the two, and flip my knife while singing.

Any way. What are your obscure hobbies?

My one main hobby is amateur cartography. I like making maps for fictional places and worlds. It's really enthralling to me.

My aunt is a jeweler, and I picked up a lot of it. I've made all manner of things. I sold some wedding rings to a couple once, but recently I haven't had the time.

Also I've been getting into Japanese stab book binding, which is proving quite interesting.

You are so bookish, it is glorious.

What the hell is stab book binding?

It's book binding, but with stabbing.  Like this: Clickity

It's pretty neat.

It's so cool looking!!

Mmmm. That's a turn on.

I'm not nearly that good at it.

I've starting getting lyrics to folk song, imitation folk songs, and pub songs. I shall learn to be a glorious bard.

I'll buy your CD.  Probably.  Maybe. Actually if I want it all I'll just torrent it.

YOU HAVE TO SUPPORT INDIE ARTISTS

And I would if I weren't broke. When I start getting a consistent income, I'll change my evil ways and chop off a notch from each finger for every year of piracy that I engaged in.

This conversation went roughly exactly where I should have expected it to.

Support all the indie artists.

Cut off all the fingers.

Buy all my nonexistant albums.

Finger cutting is how I expect all conversations to go...
