What's something you are super into, to the point of geekery/nerd/fanatic levels?

sejica · March 2022

I'll start:
I looooove board games, especially euro-style.
I am also a pretty big sports fan. I like Dr Who. I have watched every episode of grey's anatomy.

@sejica I am a huge board game fan too!! Dh and I joke that the one of the reasons that we keep having kids is to have enough players for our favorite games... the reality is we haven't been able to play said favorite games since having kids because my dd is still putting everything in her mouth and we can't have small things around. Someday...we will get back to it.

I am super into Star Trek. All of it.

The weather, 100%. To the extent that I'm changing my career to it lol. Also crafting, particularly needlework, right now specifically quilting, but also in the past cross stitch, knitting, crochet, etc.

Hi, I have ADHD so I get super into everything I do lol.
That being said, gardening has been a major obsession of mine over the past years. I think the growing season is short enough that it satisfies me without oversatisfying me lol.
I've also recently gotten SUPER into budgeting. Like to extremes. Hubby keeps asking me "are you watching ANOTHER budgeting video?" Yes hubby, yes I am. That being said, I've been able to save a really decent amount since the beginning of the year and pay down some debts despite the fact that we both only work part time hours

Similar to @mflowers929 I also have ADHD and therefore one million hobbies and things I hyper focus in to for a while. My main obsessions are naps, hikes, cooking, and baking. I like presenting I’m artsy and craftsy but I kinda suck at it lol I want to get into gardening but I reaaaally fail at keeping indoor plants alive so hopefully outdoor ones are less work? Also, I just love adventures. Going places, doing things, trying new foods, exploring new places and ways of life!

@sunshine2417 if you get plant starts it's really not hard, although more expensive than starting your own (I have peppers and tomatoes started already =D). The most important things are to plant after your last frost date and to not water when it's too cold or too hot (too cold can swell and burst the capillaries of plants, too hot it'll all evaporate away). I've become the resident plant lady with my September '20 ladies XD
This is my garden at my apartment. The only good picture I had of it was from Halloween so excuse the decorations lol

And this is the big garden in my best friends back yard that we kind of share. I put everything in and prune when needed and they water and harvest.

@mflowers929 beautiful! I am also an avid gardener, but it has been super cold lately so I am still waiting to turn on the drip and start messing around.

@fantasyflyte. That is so cool about the weather. I have been spending a lot of time teaching my students about it and every time I teach the unit I learn something new. I really have liked learning that there are so many jobs where we need people that really understand weather and what to do.

mflowers929 · March 2022

@ponyoisfun thank you! My best friends hubby made all of the garden out of old pallets and we got city compost, so the only cost for us was screws lol. I just love getting my hands in the dirt. Guess I'll need to get some gloves this year lol

@mflowers929

Totally living up to your username!

chuckle_sandwich · March 2022

Since I’m a photographer I’m actually super geeky about composite images. So I take an image of a person and incorporate it into a different scene. Also, pet portraits! Where your pets head is put in a human style body.

I hand make leather baby shoes too!

@sunshine2417 I got super into budgeting about 3-4 years ago, best hobby I ever picked up. Now it just feels like a normal part of our life, but I guess we are gonna have to start thinking about some changes now that a baby is on the way.

sejica · March 2022

@chuckle_sandwich I couldn't post for like 24 hrs, but that is awesome.

Also, I forgot to mention how into sci-fi/fantasy I am. I've read all the classic stuff- frank Herbert's dune, Orson Scott card's ender series, Isaac asimov's foundation trilogy, kim Stanley Robinson's mars series, and my current favorite: anything by Ian Banks as well as the more recent Neil Stephenson's stuff, Robert Jordan/Sanderson wheel of time.

mflowers929 · March 2022

@sejica you'd probably appreciate my book collection then (which I inherited from my dad lol. Lots of 70s and 80s original sci fi)

ponyoisfun · March 2022

@sejica thank you for all of the sci fi suggestions! If you haven't checked out The Expanse series I would recommend doing so...although fair warning that it can be a bit brutal at times.

PurplePumpernickel · March 2022

I guess my biggest fandom right now is the Below Deck franchises (all of them!) on Bravo. SO happy that Sailing Yacht is back, and I'm loving the new Below Deck Down Under. Are there any other Bravo-heads?
