    I sew doll clothes, aprons, pillow covers, and quilts and donate them to the women and children's shelter.

    It's relaxing. :smile:

    I'm sure it's not limited to those things. I've seen a couple people say music is their embarrassing hobby, and I don't understand that either! How can music, something so natural seem embarrassing? And video games!? Alright....I admit it! I'm a total geek! I try and hide it but I can't! I love mmorpgs (like Ultima Online, though I no longer play), regular RPGs (like Final Fantasy and Zelda), comic books, action figures, and geeky t-shirts. I can't live without Bones or The Big Bang Theory. I'm sorry I tried to hide it. :sad:

    I used to be obsessed with The Sims but now I can only access the internet through my phone and it lost its flare. I never miss an episode of Hoarders and live blog with the Possum Posse on Facebook every Monday night. I also make hairbows.

    I don't consider them embarrassing but I know some people probably find them a little unique or off beat.

    I'm really into true crime / criminology and read about and study crimes, murders and murderers a lot. I watch a lot of crime documentaries and can usually identify crimes by same details after having heard about them or studied them once no matter how long ago it was. It usually creeps people out.

    I'm also extremely into English history and especially medieval history. I actually read (for pleasure) and collect educational historical texts. Not to mention enjoying hours of thought and contemplation about the past. I can sit and think about anything historical or whatever I'm currently reading about / into and have a blast and hours can go by...so to say I'm a history nerd is a severe understatement.

    I also collect old books, some very very old and probably antique and some just old to me. Children's books too. I have a massive collection of Choose Your Own Adventure books for example. I have about 6 different collections going currently, I also collect vintage written erotica because it's so weird and becoming rare.

    I spend a ridiculous amount of time reading about music, listening to music, trying to talk to others about music, making playlists....... Most people don't get my obsession. And I don't get why everyone isn't this way.

    LOL

    Same. My iTunes library is a constant work in progress...I am constantly adding details about songs/albums/artists/ratings/etc.

    Yay! Thank you Luke, for coming out of the musical closet with me!

    I read fluffy historical romance novels - literally HUNDREDS of them every year.

    I really only like the funny ones (Lynsay Sands is HILARIOUS, but Julia Quinn is my favorite), but they are total fluff and are absolutely ridiculous. Regency romances are the best.

    The funny thing is that I am actually not even remotely romantic in real life, but I just can't get enough of the fluffy romances. I have an awesome used book store near me and I literally have shelves and shelves of books in my closet (not on the bookshelves in the main part of the house because I don't want to embarrass my husband) full of fluffy historical romance novels - and those are just the ones that I loved enough to want to own.

    That is why my Kindle is my best friend... I can read all the trashy romance/brainless/sci-fi novels I want and NO ONE has to know what I am reading....

    Oh, me too. I like the ones set in Victorian Britain. Shame...

    Funny thing is I can't stand romantic fluff movies!

    sorry to correct...way off topic so went to edit.

    horse shows....I love showing horses...the bad part. its expensive so I only get to do it every now and then. When I am going to one I completely get so self absorbed. After I come home I sleep for about two to three days Well off and on. It really takes a lot out of me.

    Not really embarassing, but like someone else said, I could spend a whole night watching true crime stories like Forensic Files. I am also addicted to the show World's Dumbest.

    I don't consider these embarrasing, but I know other people do.

    I'm actually a total nerd. I have eight Warhammer 40k armies at my disposable (some of them are actually owned by my housemate, but I'm free to paint and play with them at my will), I have numerous geeky board games (Discworld, Settlers etc.), I used to do cosplay and as soon as I feel my body is ready I will most definitely be doing it again, I love anime and manga although I'm not well versed in it, I read graphic novels and I may or may not have an action figure or two and I spend most of my time playing console games of some description.

    Oh gosh. I think I have several.

    I blog. I coupon like crazy. (Just spent $24.70 on $163.44 worth of goodies at Wal-Greens tonight. Mostly medicine. In retrospect, I bet I'm added to some government list for making drugs now. :laugh:) I knit. I listen to "Learn How to Speak Spanish" podcasts in the car. And, as others have said I :heart: Jersey Shore. Oh, and 16 & Pregnant and Teen Mom!

    I like to pick at things. You know, little white heads on my husbands back; my teen-age daughter. Even the grandkids are fair game. I do wash my hands a lot.

    Romance novels. I read 10 on average per month. I'm single, so shut up. lol There are some REALLY good writers out there, and I am NOT talking about the broad that wrote Twilight -- that stuff is a fricking joke.

    I LOVE the darker ones, supernatural-type junk, but I also love historicals.
