Ever had the urge to learn something?

  A long time ago, I wanted to learn how to cook, because it looked really appealing to me.
  
  Now, I do know how to cook, but can't really fix much because I hardly have any good ingredients around. The magic of cooking is partially in the ingredients: You can't make Lemon Pepper Chicken if all you have is bacon and beef.
  
  Currently, I want to learn to play the keyboard, but don't feel like buying a book or anything, and figure I'd annoy the hell out of everyone around me by playing songs to a certain point, hitting a wrong note, then starting over, or continuing to play the song, hitting the same note wrong plus many more. (Lived a room away from my guitar-playing brother, so I know how this is.)

  
  
  But you can make a Bacon Hamburger. ;D
  
  I would annoy the hell out of my family too xD

  For me, it was a college class.
  
  Never before had I taken an archaeology course, but the first time I went to that class, I loved it. Unfortunately, it was full. So I begged the professor to let me in the class because it seemed really interesting and fun.
  
  I loved every second of it. And learned quite a lot about burials and whatnot.
  
  If I weren't pursuing astronomy, I'd totally be an archaeologist!

  Not really learn something but I'd like to start something. I'd love to start a Mabinogi podcast or something. I doubt I would be able to get a large enough audience nor have frequent guests who would partake in Mabinogi related discussions. So... Sad face.

  I always wanted to learn an instrument. Mostly piano, and maybe violin. And I want to learn to play tennis. I started this summer but then my coach died and then I never found another coach... ._. I also always wanted to learn to bgirl but... ehhh, lazy. At least I still draw.

  That would be awesome, but as you said finding the large enough audience would be really difficult. :X
  Oh, also, I want to learn to sew and make my own clothes. And cosplays too.

  Do it. At best, you just have a few awkward episodes to a dead podcast. At worst, you miss out on one of the best podcasts that ever lived and a ton of fun experiences.
  
  
  
  I tend to do things on impulse, so I've taken up a lot of things, but I'm also very lazy, so I don't usually stick with it long enough to be good at anything. And then I ragequit because whatever I make is ugly and sucks.

  Ohman, yea. Sewing ftw. There's this boy at my school who makes all of his own clothes and he always looks bangin'. And there's also a girl who makes her own clothes and she's always looking cute. ;___; must learnnn...

  Since I've been playing bass for about 2 almost 3 years now I've wanted to learn different genres that really make the bass sound awesome for Exmaple Progressive,Blues,Funk,ect.
  
  Religion - I really want to learn more about religion. Like not go to churches or temples because to me that seems boring. But ever since I played shin megami tensei I've always wanted to learn more about religion.
  
  Science - Anything science from Nature to how to world is going to end to crazy theories. [:

  I have the urge to learn stuff all the time. The problem I have is I'll start and then get distracted and end up not sticking to it long enough to learn it. DX
  
  Examples include languages (such as Spanish, Japanese, etc.), playing the piano, or playing guitar.

  Yep, I suddenly had the urge to learn hacking once my dad pissed me off with "I-am-better-than-you-cause-i'm-older" attitudes, and I just wanted to see his face filled with horror as viruses pops out
  
  Other than that, I did have a few urges to restart piano (I've had lessons, but didn't play for a while due to laziness) because of a few anime OSTs
  
  I've also had a huge urge to learn to read Japanese when I started my life of Visual Novels
  Then I've had the urge to learn how to make patches to create translation patches for my favorite, Japanese VNs
