Mine would be Math,, I can read books really fast... I work as a janitor for a local college and they are always putting up these unsolvable math problems outside the classroom. I have been solving these Math problems while working my job..... the Professor still has not figured out who is solving them. He suspects one of his students,, but he is wrong.

I am trying to learn how to knit. Started my journey on Sunday by having my friend show and have me practice the basic knit process. Bought a big ball of yarn the next day with the appropriate needles and I've got as far as one row of knit stitches. I really would like to have this skill and make my own little projects.

If I had more time, I'd like to take up shooting and maybe hunting as well.

I'd like to bake my own bread. Wouldn't it be cool to have a ham and cheese on rye from a rye loaf that you made yourself?

A breadmaker is good for that. They suck for the baking part, but I use mine for the mixing and kneading process, and do the actual baking in my oven so I can get normal-looking loaves.

Wait a minute, they now have a machine that makes bread? What an amazing world we live in!

Long before this thread was revived, I mentioned wanting to really get into cosplay. Back in November, I started working on a Kingsguard suit of armor from Game of Thrones. It was finally finished last week, and I debuted it at a convention in North Carolina. Here's a shot of my costume. I'll edit this comment and post a pic from the NYT when I get one from them.

Within a few minutes of getting into the con, a New York Times reporter approached me, stating that they were going to do a photo session with George RR Martin later that day. Apparently, he saw me waiting in line and requested that I be there. It was amazing - he was a very awesome guy and after the photo session, he signed one of my books and gave me a replica of the coin given to Arya by the Faceless Man.

There were countless other moments that day that I will never forget; I made new friends, had a LOT of laughs...it was one of the best days I've had in a VERY long time. The experience NEVER would have happened had I not decided to finally get off my butt and do something I've wanted to do for a long time. Without going all cliche on people, this experience taught me that if there's something you want to do, DO IT. There's no telling what you'll miss out on if you keep finding excuses not to try.

That's a dope costume and an awesome story!
