I love History, from Ancient civilizations to the World Wars, I wanted to be an archaeologist for years until I fell in love with IT. The even nerdier side of me loves to learn about Video game lore, I have spent probably more time and attention reading about game lore then schooling things >.>. The main games I read about are Warhammer 40k and Half life. I know most things about Half life, and as much as it is possible for me to remember about Warhammer 40k.
I love learning about a lot of things, like Greek Mythology, history, psychology, etc. I don't devote time to them though, but I really need to start taking other hobbies.
Man, it really makes me feel weird seeing so many people say history when that's probably, currently, the subject I hate the most in school. I can't memorize crap for legislation, government, years or whatever and I just find it boring learning about how politics worked back in the day. Sure there are some aspects about it I enjoy sometimes (economy and culture, mostly) but those aspects of history are pretty much glanced over in my courses.
I believe the only times I really got interested in history was when I played Civilization: Revolution and Assassin's Creed 2. Video games, to me, make history (real history) seem much more appealing.
I love History, particularly WWII and ancient civilizations (a bit of a time jump I know :p). WWII greatly interests because of the immensity, impact on today, and depth of the war. So many things we know/have today are a result of WWII. I.e. Nuclear power/weapons, jet aircraft, parachuting, many US and worldwide weapons, and so many more things! And ancient history interests me because of the things that the ancients could build and make. Plus, it was the time of empires and expansion!
I like to learn about plenty of different things. When I get heavily into something (Diving, Photography, Games, Motorsport...) I'll go on a binge and try learn all I can about it. The internet is the best invention ever for that sort of thing.
Computers and networking could not be more interesting to me. The ways computers communicate and transfer and receive data is amazing to me. To a lesser degree, business. Marketing strategies and advertising are fun to pick apart.
