Aside from U2, do you have any expensive, kinda ridiculous interests?

I collect spores, mold, and fungus.

My "collection" only has three so I should send them to you. Two glass Dew bottles and one Dew can from Tanzania, in Arabic.

In Arabic? that's awesome! My best friend is taking Arabic.

i have two glass bottles as well, one is recent and one is older, dunno what year

SOLID.

Sometimes I just have that magic touch.

Booze would be my vice, have taken to spending around €20/€25 on a bottle of wine.

A few years ago I was happy with a €8 bottle, at this rate in another few years I won't be happy unless it's a bottle of 1945 Chateau Latour Pauillac, with truffles ( http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2007/dec/01/trufflegoesforatrifling33 ). And, yeah, the high end hookers.

Occasionally go for an extravagant lunch with friends, but really that only happens around once a month or even less.

Fungus amongus!!!!

 

[corianderstem]

I guess music is the only hobby I have that costs me a lot of money; I buy a lot of CDs. I'm thinking seriously about buying a nice Yamaha keyboard from a friend, but he's going to give me a much cheaper price than he'd put on Craigslist or wherever he was going to sell it.

That'll be a big purchase, but it's something I've been missing from my life for far too long.

 

[zonelistener]

I just took a closer look at that 3rd photo. WTF is going on there? Seriously.

I swear that was the UYFMA gang, no?


Travel, baseball and music.

In a manner of speaking, perhaps.

 

[UberBeaver]

Funk, kicking ass, and I collect Awesomeness.


Laz - great pics from the street fair! I didn't know you were going, bro. We should totally meet up next time.

So you combined French and internet speak here.

 

[A_Wanderer]

My library is spreading to 5 bookcases, and I'm only 22; I blame amazon and abebooks

I am eyeballing a first edition Decent of Man right now, ah to have money

 

[U2isthebest]

I definitely spend a lot of money on books and music too. They're like air to me. I've been known to spend money I didn't have on seasons of my favorite TV shows on DVD.

 

[Bonochick]

As evidenced in this blog entry, I have LOTS of Barbies! I don't tend to buy collector dolls or keep them in their boxes, they mostly are meant to come out of the box so I can arrange them, change their clothes, whatever. My boyfriend's nieces also enjoying playing when they visit. Since I'm not buying the expensive dolls, it isn't TOO pricey...the latest doll I bought was on clearance for $8...but it's still something a girl my age probably shouldn't be wasting money on. Oh well! It's fun. A lot of dolls and things have been given as gifts as well, so that's nice!

 

[joyfulgirl]

I spend obscene amounts of money on vitamins and supplements, organic food and Pilates classes. I know, I'm really boring. But really healthy.

I won't tell you what I usually spend on a haircut but I am very proud of myself for getting a $45 (I consider that unbelievably cheap) haircut this week. Unfortunately, it kinda sucks.

 

[The Sad Punk]

To me this looks like a Tuesday.

And a Friday is... ?

Does that mean you're the one who gave him his cornucopia o' fun?

 

[TranceEnding]

I love collecting camera's (new and old) I saw an old Mamiya medium format camera in a local photography store the other day, so hopefully it's still there next payday

 

[bonocomet]

^ that's a cool collection. I still have my argoflex seventy five that was my grampa's he gave me when I was a little kid. I just still having it.

I used to collect old alarm clocks but I had to kick the habit, it was addictive and I was spending too much. (I love the sound of clocks ticking)

 

[U2isthebest]

I did not have sexual relations with that man.

 

[BoMac]

You can't really compete with a guy who delivers, AM I RITE?!

Just saw this.

And...

I spend a lot of my money on concerts and traveling, altough I haven't done much of the latter in recent years.

 

[achtung_girl]

Travelling, but that's not ridiculous. It's my most expensive interest, but every euro and cent I've put into it has been money well spent.

I like going on little trips for 1 or 2 days. That's really an expensive interest: the transport, shopping, hotel, and restaurants...
Anyway I think it's a good way to spend your hard earned.

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

I've traveled all over the place this year to see Nels Cline play guitar. I've seen him play six times with Wilco, nine times with his jazz trio, and a few times with other groups. It's been worth every penny and every minute spent in transit, though. He's an amazing musician and a super nice guy.

Posters. I'm addicted to buying posters.

 

[U2isthebest]

Dude, it's ok. There's no shame in these things today. With the acid to burn those warts off, and the right medication you'll be as good as new in no time.

I just feel bad for all of those cheap prostitutes I've had my ways with over the years now.

I am not a "cheap prostitute", I am a high class call girl! I mean....what?
