Hi, my name is David Briggs and I am addicted to (or are recovering from being addicted to) the following:
Is anyone else quite as obsessive when they find a new interest?
- fly fishing;
- harry potter;
- mountain biking;
- gym;
- restoring a 1960s racing bike;
- crossfit; and
- nutrition/health research.
I am addicted to:
ReplyDeleteGiggling when people finish their sentences with "eh"
McDonalds cinnamon melts (I pray these aren't available in Australia)
And all the obvious ones I can't write down without sounding like a nerd.
Here come the nerd obsessions...
ReplyDelete- Lego
- Remote control cars (petrol then electric)
- Remote control planes
- Remote control helicopters
- Biped robots
Then we pretty much cycle through the obsessions every 2 years starting with the remote control stuff.
Also, I may have left off some of the super geeky stuff...
yeh I didn't know about fly fishing. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteheres mine in order of age:
-bike riding
-music/guitar/bass/metal
-fire twirling
-travel
-arduinos/pulling things apart/haxing
-language
I think learning language counts now, as I do it everyday, all day, and as much as I find it horribly difficult, it is also fascinating. I aspire to learn more, once I have german sorted out.
I'll scan a photo of me fly fishing when I am at home this weekend. It's a very impressive piece of accidental photography and proof that I did actually spend 2 years fly fishing pretty regularly. (well I guess it is really only proof that I went fly fishing once)
ReplyDeleteI like that we've got quite different interests and yet all chose to study the same course at uni. Any non roboticists out there?
