Reply To: Are we old codgers with weird hobbies?
The definition what is an actual hobby is interesting. What is the hobby aspect in collecting certain items? Just buying regularly certain items doesn’t make it a collecting hobby. Then a newspaper subscription or my regular food shopping at the supermarket would qualify as a collecting hobby, too.
It is about hand picking and hunting for rarities. But also that I would hardly call a hobby. The hobby aspect is more about dealing with the subject intellectually. Becoming knowledgable about it, growing an educated opinion. Things like that.
If I should name my hobbies, it were always these: drawing, writing (poems, short stories etc.), making music, writing songs. I used to do impro theatre and had a reading stage with some friends once per Month in a bar. But those times are gone.
In the past few years I became a little rusty with all of this.
Since I was a teenager I was collecting records and CDs. Never saw that really as a hobby.
