I think this question has been asked before, but it never hurts to ask
again...
Prior to coming out of my dark ages, two hobbies which I am most
interested in were role playing games and model railroading. I have been
able to merge those hobbies with LEGO (Evil Stevie's Pirate Game on the
Role Playing side and LEGO Trains on the model railroading side).
Another big hobby of mine is caving which I haven't quite figured out
how to work that into LEGO (other than that my apartment looks more like
a cave since I started my LEGO collection than before).

Music. Well, that's another passion of mine. I have this neat comic
about investing in CDs taped to the side of my CD rack... If Bruce had a
better singing voice, I'd be a big Springsteen fan myself,
unfortunately, I can't stand his voice, so the only Springsteen I have
is on a CD of miscellaneous British rock, with Manfred Mann's version of
Blinded by the Light.
When it comes to music, my biggest passions are:
- Yes, and almost anything by a group member or a band a group member
was also a member of (Asia for example).
- ABBA (ok, so I'm weird...)
- Organ music (even weirder...)
- Celtic music (especially Clannad, Enya, Maire Brennan, Mary Jane
Lammond and a few others)
I've never been able to describe what it is that I like about music, but
there is a common theme though it may not be apparent to many. One thing
I can sort of point to is a degree of complexity to the music.
