    Golf! But that is not so secret.

      I used to be a golfer but being left handed and abit clumsy meant I lacked the finesse to make a good round! Still enjoyed 9 holes in the summer with some tinnies in my golf bag!

    I'm a Trekkie and I have quite a collection of Trekkie goodies. Including the pride of my collection, a Paramount working script for the movie Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country which later became The Wrath of Khan. The original title was later used for another Star Trek movie.

    I follow greyhound racing. I used to gamble, but now I just watch.

      I went to watch greyhound racing a year ago and really enjoyed it...I won the princely sum of 2 pounds. My late grandad (god bless his soul) was a big greyhound racing fan.

    It's not really a 'secret' hobby--but I am a musician and this is my primary hobby (other than writing--which is more than a hobby, really). I actually play every day--and when we are on the East Coast, my husband and I hold jam sessions for musicians each Saturday night, where everone brings her/his instrument and we play for hours.

    After I quit heroin, I actually stopped playing music for about 5 years. I didn't touch my guitar--and didn't write any music. It's hard to explain--but I felt like playing in the band led, in part, to my heroin addiction.

    Then, one day--I just picked up my guitar and started playing and I realized how much I missed it. I haven't stopped playing since.

      Sometimes association of something you love with something that harmed your life isnt a good thing, its great you got back into your love of music.

      I find its good to have that release, mine is weight lifting...it takes me away from everything and gives me that energy and release I need!

      I tried playing the guitar once, my friend and I started together...I gave up and he became a famous rockstar! Dont know if you have heard of Sergio Pizzorno and the band Kasabian...oh if only I stayed with the guitar lessons lol.
    2. melindaville
      I haven't heard of that band--but wow! You could have been famous mugshot! It's great that you enjoy weightlifting. I work out almost every day and I find that to be a great stress reliever. I actually don't feel right unless I work out these days.

      I am very glad that I was able to start playing music again (and that was quite insightful of you to take that from what I wrote).

    My secret hobby, being that I try and keep it a secret from those I know personally, is poker. I've won a lot of money playing it. I've also lost a lot more money playing it.

    There's that thrilling moment where you've pushed all-in and you know you have the nuts or somewhere close, and your heart starts to race, and the adrenaline kicks in, and when your opponent throws down his cards, you've got the hand and you throw down yours and take his whole bank roll. It's an amazing feeling...
    1. melindaville
      I've always had this secret fantasy to go to Vegas and play professional poker--even for a weekend. I am a pretty good poker player--although I have never played for $$.
    2. Floormodel
      I play in tournaments and love it! I play online for giggles but there's nothing like playing it and getting down to the final table. My first tournament I took third and was in the $, that's my favorite so far although I've won more money since.
  7. ladylyf
    silly online games. like 'find the cat' or 'dress for prom' etc. very juvenile and embarassing but............

    I'm a movie buff, in particular horror movies - and I'm also into music in a big way.
    I also have a toy collection of characters from horror films and musicians.

    I also did a bit of ghost hunting - but stopped because I was getting in way over my head.
  11. AnoraPriddle
    Can't by pass anything Hello Kitty. Ever. I guess that makes my secret hobby the 'collection of everything HK' :]
  12. cathy13
    If I told you then it wouldn't be a secret anymore!
    1. Sam1982
      So its something controversial then?
    2. cathy13
      Maybe, maybe not

    I don't have a secret hobby, but there are hobbies I don't mention incessantly.

    I draw a lot, I'm learning to fight with nodachi (eventually I'm going to learn to fight with whips and unarmed as well), I LARP every week, and from time to time I make foam weapons for my LARP group.
    1. Sam1982
      What is LARP?.....(im feeling like i live under a rock)
    2. cathy13
      Live Action Role Play
  14. timethief
    I write erotica.
    1. cathy13
      Really? I find that fascinating and surprising and little bit hot!
    2. timethief
      lol ... It's definitely hot but it's not for public consumption.
    3. Sam1982
      I've just had a bit of a go at it in my own blog, I dunno if its any good though. The picture in my head wasnt that bad though
    4. Stillthinking
      Bizarrely enough TT, this doesn't surprise me.

    In the 1990s I collected action figures. Talk about a secret hobby! It was such a geeky thing, I told nobody. Actually, I was sort of speculating, thinking maybe these things might go up in value. Nope. Instead I have all this crap in a basement. I tried to acquire all the Playmate brand Star Trek figures. Maybe one day I’ll donate these toys to a charity. Funny, but I’d still hate to part with this stuff.
  16. amybyrd21
    wrapping things in bacon and cooking them. No seriously I read murder mysteries and crime books and watch real life crime shows.

    writing satires.
    I know its not good to make fun of people or their emotions and their institutions but I am a little evil.
    1. voodooKobra
      Bah! Who cares about other peoples' emotions? Hilarity must ensue.
    2. marketborn
      no vodoo. U will never succeed unless you learn how to respect peoples emotions. so lately I have grown conscious about that and I try to include some deep philosophy to cover my humor and satire.
    3. voodooKobra
      Succeed in what capacity?

      If your success requires significant intervention of others smarter and stronger than you, then yes, charisma and respect for emotion is absolutely necessary. However, if your success relies only on yourself and systems, not people, then you can afford to not give a good god damn what people feel.

    Going to an upscale, hot bar every now and then but it's not a secret.
    With so many types of paparazzis in the world, you don't have secrets anymore.
