Ha, nothing interests me enough for me to call it a hobby.
That being said, I have these kicks about random subjects that I do extensive research on and then stop. It makes it so I can talk about almost anything and SEEM like I know what I'm talking about. For example, I had a guinea pig, so I did research on rodent health... I saved a friend's rat's life a week ago
Anyway, I do know what you are talking about. It is hard for me to discuss things like that. I'm a runner, but I don't consider myself good enough to call it a "hobby". I also play bass, but it is the same idea.
I'm interested to hear what other people think.
