My current hobbies

I've recently realized that even I don't appear to know what my hobbies are most of the time. Thus, neither would most other people.

As of currently they are:
Psychology - Mostly the practical kind, as I only recently started to read books. I have learned the most by interacting with actual people (wow). I consider myself a highly altruistic person, so just ask if you need help.
Game design - I like to build worlds and games offer some of the best ways to do so.
Drawing - Once again about building worlds. Usually my drawings have a lot of lore that only I know. The realism is lacking though, as it has little importance.
Harsh vocals - Also known as "screamo". I can use a few techniques, so I'm not a complete amateur, but please offer me to join a band! That would help a lot.
Refinement - It can pretty much be read as "doing things well". I like good clothes, although I'm not obsessed about them. I also try to make sure I know a lot about useful or otherwise interesting things.
Music - I collect a lot of it and have expanded my taste a lot over time. Currently I have about 10 000 tracks of music (mediamonkey says 12 000, but I have duplicates). I'm not really as much into it as I used to be anymore, so I'm no longer in touch with every track that I have. I used to be though. 

My views on leadership

I'm writing this post for a future me that hopefully will know more. The point is to have specific ideas laid out that I could later judge based on what I have or haven't achieved.

The purpose of a leader is to unite people into a big push, that would be unachievable to any member alone. As such, leaders (or groups) are not inherently needed in every project.
A successful leader has to understand multiple things better than other members:
1. What needs to be done in the project; how to measure whether people are doing the right thing. 2. The things that motivate the people working on this project, because not everyone is as much a fanatic as the spiritual leader likely is. 

I should make this post longer, but frankly I am very tired and still have to do more things today.
