I don't even know what I'd enjoy doing. All I know is that my current hobby is supposed to be relaxing but it's causing me to yank out my hair and is damn near giving me a heart attack. And the people who are also into it and on the internet keep withholding tips and techniques. I don't know if they fear that I'll submit a model in a contest they also enter and I'll win or what. Could be they've seen some talent and are unwilling to share anything that'll help make me any better.

Pick something you've always wanted to do.

if you have a collection of old and sonically challenged music recordings you'd like to sound better, you might consider the aurally rewarding hobby of digital audio restoration. just a thought.

I would recommend tea. It's one of my favorite hobbies, from collecting them to trading and drinking them. It's very healthy too.

Coin collecting is an interesting hobby. I have a few which are older than 500 AD, and one that is from 135 BC even. It's fascinating to own a piece of the past.
