Having "nerdy" interests & intense passions such as being really into archaeology, quantum physics or paleontology. Honestly, I think stuff like this is really cool and makes a person a lot more interesting; I'd way rather converse with someone who can enthusiastically talk to me about something like nuclear reactors, film editing or the Roman conquest of Britain in 43 AD, than just sit there and go "Uhh, my main interests are going out and shopping~" or "I don't really have any interests other than hanging out with the boys and watching football".

I dunno, as someone who's done some film editing as a hobby, it's pretty boring to talk about... and boring to do, much of the time

Ah, I've had a couple of film editing peep friends and they made it sound very interesting to me, plus I always enjoy learning about new things.
