What are you currently passionate about it interested in? What are some cool things about that thing, or interesting stuff that you've learned?

To start things off, I've recently gotten back into Legos for the first time since I was a child and dragged my SO in with me. We've been building sets together, posing them, and decorating my apartment with some of them like the autumn center piece and bonsai tree. I'm also starting to show them how you can mix things together or go off script, changing and customizing a set to fit your own needs or tastes. It's been really fun and I'd recommend it if you are looking for something to do with someone else.

I've also gotten into professional wrestling for the first time and been having a blast. My SO used to watch WWE/WWF as a kid and I asked them to watch a pay per view with me and it was like they got ripped back in time, getting super hype and cheering on the people they wanted to win. We've now started watching AEW and it's been really fun when they point out the people that they recognize from when they were a kid and what they think of them.

Gonna sound stupid, but local government. Specifically on relation to road planning and land use.

Like i have all of the state’s/city’s design manuals saved on my computer & review road projects against them. I make a list of questions along the lines of “this section of the planning manual says that 2 lanes are sufficient for the traffic volumes you are designing to, why does your design have 4 lanes?”.

Take these questions to the public meetings to ask. It sounds so dry and boring, but has actually been quite fun!
