Surfing is a big one, for the last two years. It's the most amazing, extatic sport I've ever tried. Recommend you faggots pick it up, if you live somewhere close by a beach.

Drinking with interesting people. I don't like big parties, or clubs/bars, but I thoroughly enjoy the few and rare 4AM cigarette conversations when I get to talk about real stuff.

Picked up yoga a year ago, I didn't expect much from it but found it to be actually very enjoyable. It's cool to see what effect the breahting excercises combined with stretching have on your body and state of mind. You can literally make yourself feel completely different in 5 minutes.

Video games. Yeah, go ahead mock me, but there's some coming out lately which aren't completely shit and have some real artistic value (inb4 buzzkills losing shit). I'm talking SOMA, Talos Principle, some of you elitist oughta give those a shot.

It's great. I've been doing it for years now. I don't need much to survive, panhandling is enough usually. I also sell/trade crystals, and sometimes have enough weed to sell. Often people hand me money while I'm just trying to go on about my business.

I'm this way because I'm a hopeless romantic at heart. It also stands to reason it's because I'm about as "loner" as they get. There's entire communities in the woods I could go join if I wanted to pull a mccandless, and entire communities of fake hippies who think they're progressive and getting somewhere if I wanted to pull a Ken Kesey.

The path I could have taken in life was a paved stroll through a park which led to a tree whose fruit had no flavor, instead I've chosen the narrow path going over a mountain leading down into an orchard filled with the finest tasting fruit.

I really need to sort my lie out and get some friends. I haven't had any since 2nd grade and haven't been on a date in 2 years. My Mom tells me that my life is passing me by and my Dad interjects with the fact that I'm still young at 19, but not having friends does really feel like everything is passing me by.

The only person that I would consider a friend is a senior in High School (I'm a sophomore in college) and I don't even think he likes me. I just wish I could talk to people and make friends. 12 years of no friends or going out with people have really fucked me up.

There isn't anything, I think. People as people just don't interest me.

Pathfinder is perfectly fine, though it definitely isn't anywhere near my favorite

Also, gotta say I don't get your reasoning, especially given your examples. If you decide to go fight in Syria or climb Everest, you have to be pretty far out of the ordinary to begin with. If you lived through the holocaust, it would have a pretty big influence on your personality and worldview. The experiences and ideas of people are a big part of what makes up their personality, seems silly to separate them from the person. At least you recognize that it's a nonsensical preference, though.

Sure, the person's changed by it, or reflective of it -- but it's like...sports, to me. Or any time period after 1648. I get that it's complex and has a tonne about it to the point that it may as well be interesting, but it's not.

Also Pathfinder is a bad system for playing dungeon crawlers badly. DCC for dungeon crawls, Burning Wheel + derivatives for narratives, Song of Swords for politics.

Like the other anon said, panhandling isn't half bad-especially if your only real vice is coffee. I don't panhandle more than an hour or two a week usually. This, coupled with food stamps in the US, or feeds in populated homelessness areas, allows you to sustain pretty well.

I don't make thousands panhandling or selling weed, I make enough to get by and then support whatever current venture I'm aiming for. Like, for the last few months it was going to Arizona for the gem show and festival and I needed to be supplied with weed and extra cash for a month long+stay in the Arizona atmosphere which-though it might as well be an extension of California these days, still isn't half as laid back at times as being so close to cali would imply.

I stealth camp usually, or if it's an area used to homeless sleeping out and about I'll sleep in doorways or random hilarious cuddy spots. I have a habit of finding or picking the best spots in the cities or town I'm in. I make this look good.

Basically over time you end up knowing sleep spots for every single town you pass through until you're no longer passing through towns you don't know about. At first a new place can be overwhelming, but if you stop looking so hard at the details you'll find the picture is still the same.

Yeah I dunno. Honestly I'm happier than I've ever been but I don't do shit, I just use the relationship as an excuse to live like a vegetable when I'm not working. But then again, before the relationship I found other excuses for that anyway. Only back then I felt like there was nothing stopping me from changing and improving... and then I found her, and at first I felt like it was making me a better person. Now I realise that it was just a temporary kind of exaltation that lasted a month or two, and once that passed I was back to the same guy, and it's frustrating, and it scares me a bit because I think one of these days she'll realise I'm not the guy she thinks I am or wants me to be, I'm just an unmotivated smartass with delusions of grandeur. And so then I kind of want to run away before that happens, but our lives are all tangled up now and there's so many fucking consequences to everything and anyway it's a shitty cowardly self-destructive impulse that I should fight.

Anyway blog over bye

This often surprises people, as I study philosophy and political science, but I actually really like computer programming, and spend most of my free time coding shit. What I learn there has somewhat helped me structure my writing, which used to be a mess before I learned to deal with data the way a computer requires you to.

Haha. Well dinosaur toys must have began before I remember, but I still have my first T-rex from when I was 2, where I've chewed off the arms that he did have. It's a barely intentional collection, but started because I grew up very poor, and I didn't want to say anything complicated when asked what I wanted for Christmas, so I just said "dinosaur stuff". My dad still gives me dinosaur stuff on Christmas.

I started board games with the intention of finally making friends and going to those meet-ups or the university club for them. My first were Citadels and Dominion. I only ever stomached one trip to the uni game club, then played with my mom and sister for a bit, but then my sister moved. I still buy more, but I mostly play them alone. It's definitely one of those collections for the sake of collecting things. I keep hope in the back of my mind that I'll have friends to play with eventually.

Fountain pens started with my Lamy Safari demonstrator, and I only have demonstrators, nothing over $60. I started with the intention to improve handwriting, which hasn't really happened, because I thought it'd happen just from hand writing more. I alternately use them in my commonplace books for keeping lit notes, but they don't see any fancier use.

Tea started in a pleb way, I think I got some from Adiago before anything else, and branched out from there. Most of the teaware are from vendors I already liked, who either source it from the same area as their teas or apparently pick up what looks neat elsewhere. I've had a gaiwan set the longest, that my aunt gave me when I was teenager. My first "paraphernalia" on my own was the IngenuiTEA, but I replaced it with a glass single serve brewer soon, then an actual kettle and tea pot, then yixing.

I couldn't pinpoint book collecting's start, but for a specific subset of my collection, Japanese literature, it all started with Kokoro. Was the book that got me on the path to real literature. I now have nearly 300 books specifically dealing with Japan/Japanese literature.

I watch anime and play vidya like every other autist 4channer. I used to really enjoy lifting but my drive to keep improving myself in that regard died out when I realized there was no place for mascunality in modern liberal countries. It's only useful for protection but there's always the possibily of being up against someone armed in the event you're attacked, and even then you could get jailed for fucking defending yourself if you make the wrong move. At this point the only reason I still go to the gym is to keep that modicum of ego my instinct can't seem to want to let go. I loathe how degenerate society is and every single day I'm considering more and more seriously about going living innawoods.

I love myself i order to hide the fact that I actually hate myself. I started many years ago and have got very good at it, most of the times I forget the real feelings. Some days ago, my only real friend, a fat female that I love/hate, and that hadn't seen me in a couple of months said I looked "powerful" and "independent". That's suiting because I consider myself to be better than everyone else, her included, and I pretend I don't care what others think of me; what frightens me is I think I'm just getting more isolated. I don't have any hobbies besides literature and chess, and I'm pretty bad at both.
