I'm surprised no one has mentioned gardening either. I live in an apartment so my garden is a 7'x 15' balcony. Currently have Basil, Cilantro, Rosemary, Cherry Tomatoes, San Marzano Tomatoes (just germinated the seeds 2 days ago), 2 Yucca trees, Garlic, and 2 Hibiscus plants for decoration.
How about yourself?

Shooting my bow, hunting, fishing, motocross, watching movies and learning things.
Growing shrooms a hobby?

Of course mushroom cultivation is a hobby, and an amazing one at that but we already have a huge subforum dedicated to that.
What kind of fishing do you do?

I used to skate and was really good at it. But falling down 5+ stairs takes a toll on your feet and knees. Not to mention my ankles are all fucked up from all the times theyve been rolled.
These days i like to play around with music production software. Teaching myself music theory and such.
Its like an infinite puzzle.

Mhmmm, fresh basil is amazing. Same with tomatoes, busting out a fresh sauce with both is delicious 
I need to work on my herb garden, I really want to get into mints and tea plants too.
Right now I mainly am focusing on tomatoes and peppers.
Off the top of my head I have a Kaleidoscopeic Jeweled tomato, Cherokee Purple, deluxe rainbow, some sort of roma, and at least one or two other heirloom varieties. I started the deluxe rainbow from seed but everything else I got at a nursery already pretty big.
The peppers I started almost all from seed, and I have: Turkish Red, Japanese, Magnum Habenero, Mayan Red Habenero, Jamaican Hot Chocolate habenero (one of my favorites), and some various jalapeno's.
I just planted 3 or 4 peppers and 2 tomatoes into the ground and have 2 of each outside getting used to full sun before I plant em too 
I really want to get some garlic going too, and ginger.
What about making hibiscus tea with your plants?

Motorcycles (working on and riding them, I go for a ride whenever the weather's nice and I want something to do), I've taken up downhill biking since there are so many great trails and mountains where I live now and the friends I've made here got me into it, camping (often when biking), drawing, brewing beer, video games sometimes although I'm not as interested in those as I was when I was younger and had no other real hobbies so I just play casually/occasionally now.

Yea, I can't wait until I get my first batch of San Marzanos ripe.
Last summer I ended up canning about a dozen jars of a basic garlic, tomato, and basil sauce. The difference in taste from that sauce compared to your supermarket variety is just inexplicable. I like to make a lot of Caprese salads as well but Buffalo milk mozzarella is quite pricey so it was a once every couple weeks type of thing.
I've never even thought of making Hibiscus tea. I know that the petals are edible but I'll have to look into it. I'd imagine the tea would have a very nice, sweet taste.
I'm envious of all your varieties of tomatoes and peppers. Those are my 2 favorite types of produce to grow but with the limited space I went with the herbs instead since they save me so much money. I'm in the process of selling this apartment & move into a house where I can have a proper garden.
About how big is your growing space?

Yeah it is almost ripe veggie time! I can't wait.
Home canned stuff is so damn good, so much better than store bought stuff indeed 
Caprese salad sounds pretty intense, super Italian 
All the dankest cheese are pretty taxed, I found some Organic cheese recently but it costs way more for less...
I only thought of that becouse I have had some delicious hibiscus coolers and stuff, and I love tea. I may have to try growing some.
They are definitely some great plants, sorry to make you envious! Herbs is a smart move in that situation, they can get pretty taxed where as tomatoes are pretty cheap.
That's awesome you are selling an apartment and moving into a house! My grandma just sold a house finally after slowly going broke.
The house I am living in came with a small greenhouse which has been devoted to peppers and tomatoes mainly, then I bought a cheap 100$ greenhouse on ebay for all my other plants in the winter. The yard is pretty big too but came with no real garden beds, just some flower beds. But since moving in we have put up several decent sized beds in the back yard.
So pretty big, I live with my mom though and she is a big gardener too so we have to share all the space.

Sounds awesome. I've lived in apartments/condos for all my close to 30 years on this planet.
Once I move I'm probably gonna bother you with some inquiries regarding flowerbeds and greenhouses.

Thank you, it is pretty lovely. The neighborhood is super suburban though, my house is actually surrounded by 2 apartment complexes and 2 other houses.
I used to live in an apartment myself when I was younger and lived with my dad. I wouldn't have minded it if it wasn't for all my little siblings.
Was a 2 bedroom apartment and by the time my dad moved out he had 3 kids not including me and a cat/ dog...
If I were to move out from my moms it would no doubt be an apartment unless I shared a house with several people.
I bet you are excited to upgrade! I don't know how much help I would be but feel free to ask, I would gladly share whatever I can with you.

Right on, musiclover. It's not necessarily an upgrade moving to a house because of my current location down the the street from the beach.
It's more of an upgrade in lifestyle as I won't have to deal with noise complaints, I've only picked up my guitar once every couple months for the past 2 years which is so sad considering I started playing 16 years ago and was devoted to it. Also having that space for gardening among other activities, no nosy neighbors, finally being able to grow weed again, being able to host parties, the list just goes on...
@Sprinkles: A friend of mine's dad truffle hunts in Southern Italy. He's trained his dog (I'm not sure which breed) but says that training pigs to do so is where it's at. They can sniff out the fungi a lot easier. Did you want to find truffles to make some money or to eat them yourself?

Well the beach is nice but so is having a nice sized space of your own to make exactly how you want it! I have never lived near the ocean except when I was younger up in Canada but I do imagine it is pretty amazing. Especially if you have a view of the ocean from your abode. I can picture that being lovely. Even just being able to walk down to the beach must rock.
Lifestyle upgrades are nice. Fuck noise complaints and nosy neighbors.
I hate when things get in the way of playing music that is very sad, get ready to pick it back up!
Gardening and growing weed are some great pluses for sure, I wish I lived in a more remote area and could grow in my yard aparment HS kids would just steal it 
Parties are great too having fires in the yard and stuff, list goes on indeed.

I play a lot of basketball. Usually some people playing at the local court. Walking around. Chit chatting with strangers. That would probably be my 3.

That's awesome your're starting to play ball again.
This time of the year playing outdoors here in unbearable. I'm pretty sure we had this conversation last summer lol
But, yea man. It sucks because the local parks shut off the lights after 9pm which is the only comfortable time to play. During the day with the heat reflection or refraction (one of those) the temperature on the court will get up to 120 degrees. Factor in the constant 70%-90% humidity of South FL and it feels like trying to play ball submerged in a hot tub.
I'll still play once every few weeks indoors at the gym but the problem is that they are legit over there. We get a lot kids coming in for pick up games that are college players from UM, & FAU (both men and women) and it's just embarrassing for me trying to play with/against them.
Since we're on the topic of basketball, did you watch the Warriors win the championship tonight? It was a badass game..the whole series was great to watch.
