What are some fun hobbies?

I don't have much to do with my life, sad, but it's true. I don't really know where I would even start looking for hobbies, so maybe you guys can share what hobbies you enjoy.

Apart from the suggestions already given, you can play Go.
Go is cool.

Working out is a great hobby to have since it improves other areas of your life such as nutrition. Definitely one of the healthiest hobbies out there.

If you have cash, starting a 30+ gallon aquarium is always fun though keep in mind salt-water ones are insanely expensive and most of the really cool specimens require very special care. I recommend freshwater for that reason.

Reading is seriously one of the best hobbies out there. The mental equivalent to working out!

Become knowledgeable of a certain type of beverage. Get into teas, coffee, or making smoothies. Don't be pretentious but just invite people over to try out your nice tea sets or special coffee brew. Great social activity!

Get a nice dslr camera and learn photography. Take pics of everything you see. Improve your skills over time. With enough interest, this hobby can turn into money.

Im also thinking about buying a bike and started researching the different types. Currently have my eyes on the road bike for speed, but would still like some grass/sand/dirt capabilities. Hybrid sounds ideal but i heard they try to be decent at everything so they never excel at anything. Its hard to decide.[/quote]

If anything, try visiting /n/. They seem to have a hard-on for bicycles, and have threads dedicated to asking bicycle-related questions.
I actually have a thread up there right now, and I'm not even sure if I'm asking the right questions.

What I've done over the years while I'm bored:

-learned guitar
-discovered a buttload of new music
-watched most of this list: http://www.collegehumor.com/toplist/6426788/bestcomedy
-work
-game a bit, but now I'm pretty much over with that chapter of my life

What I would do if I could drive:
-shooting range
-movies with friends
-the mall with friends
-just drive somewhere I haven't been

I live in a town of 40,000 with a bunch of spoiled kids and not much to do. Especially since I don't live near any of my friends anymore.

Me neither, I basically wasted away my high school years inside my house unless I was eating out or playing tennis.

I'm in the process of getting a bicycle so I can finally explore my city, since I'm not too crazy about driving around by myself in a car. Explore your surroundings if you haven't! It's embarrassing when you can't tell visitors what's cool around town (speaking from personal experience).
Try cooking/baking things. http://www.keyingredient.com/
Not exactly a hobby, but you should clean out your room. By that, I mean, really clean it out. Get rid of things you know you'll never use, or things with little sentimental value. Your room will feel much roomier, and I'm sure you'll feel real good about it in the end. After all, more is less.

I like playing tennis and my instruments. I like gaming, discovering new music, watching films, going shopping, yoga, collecting(foreign currency/copper souvenirs), in-line skating, researching, daydreaming. That's all I can think of atm.
