I'm 33 now. I have shed most of my younger immature habits.

I used to collect Zoids. I did that well into my 20s.

I still obcess over videogames though. The first thing I do every day is read all the gaming news.

When I was younger the kind of science fiction writers I liked, were pretty rare. But it seems like as the decades pass more and more science fiction writers who have a style I like seem to be popping up. I am well and truely reading way to much science fiction lately.

I have a really strange habit with reading that I picked up over the years. I can read a book of nearly any size within 3 days. When I was younger I would power read anything I bought. I would read it cover to cover before doing anything else. At 33 I read science fiction differently now. I tend to savior every page. I might just read a couple pages before and after dinner in a restaurant. That drives my wife nuts, but it's how I handle those agonizing empty seconds and minutes before my food arrives.

Me, too. I love to play tag with my cat, all through the house. I also love collecting books that I read and loved, as a child. I enjoy reading them now, just as much as I did back then.

I like a lot of video games, including some for young children.
Sometimes I watch kid shows like Dora the Explorer (where are her parents?), but that's just to make fun of them so that might not count.

my way to behave is childish like. I like collecting pieces of broken things. And giving people silly gifts, writes notes and cartoons to communicate and express my feelings. 8O *Taly sighs*

Yes. After all these years, they still get me excited. Too bad they're not touring anywhere near me. I'm excited they're recording another album though. I think for me though, it has to do more with that I love the way they sing, and that all of them have different voice types (which gives them their distinct sound), which I think is interesting to note that many groups have people who have the same voice type, and I think that's boring. My iTunes is full of those guys (although i appreciate other musicians who have a place in my music library, i.e. Christina, Foo Fighters, Goo Goo Dolls, Rasputina, Elliott Yamin, Sarah McLachlan, Smashing Pumpkins, etc) but If a BSB song didn't make the album and it leaked, trust me that I've heard it. They're also good at making me laugh.

I've collected various bsb things over the years (although I still don't have a basement full of thousands of dollars of stuff like that one guy though)...I still have the burger king action figures of theirs too. They're in a shoebox on my shelf, in all of their original baggies.

Same here, on both counts! I love to go back and re-read my favorite books, and re-visit books I started as a child and never got around to finishing (e.g. Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm).

I don't consider it immature, but I still play runescape at 18, and I played pokemon games right up to like 16, I also still keep up with the super mario games too. Lots of other things most people are interested in at my age, I am not, Like First Person Shooters, and Cars.

I collect Rainbow Brite stuff (started because of a gift I recieved, once) and Floppy Dogs (because of the yarn).
I also collect old, antique keys.
I am always on the look out for old ( from the past two centuries, black and white)photographs of Halloween costume parties too.

I Like Pokemon, and Yu-gi-oh, and I would still play with action figures if I had any. Bionicle are also great. They need adult sized play grounds because I would be there all day. Also a big pile of leaves.

I seem to be able to play really well with children...it´s sort of an excuse to revisit my childhood and feel a little nostalgia doing the things I used to do, particularly art projects..."Spirograph" is still as addictive as it was when I was a child, I can´t seem to stop once I start.

I also still watch "The Wizard of Oz" regularly, I mentioned that on another Thread. I´m a big fan of South Park too...not sure if that counts as "immature" though?

I love cats and children's books, too. I especially love children's books about cats. My favorite is The Grannyman. The elderly cat, Simon, and the kitten he takes care of look amazingly like Lynx points.

I've started reading the new Goosebumps series Goosebumps Horrorland. :-) I loved the other Goosebumps books as a kid. :-)
