Lots of great interests! There are gaming groups/clubs - both video and in person. Not sure what you mean by music. You play, sing, listen? Because there are clubs for some of those, too. Internet and in person. I'm not quite sure where you'd begin. Local social media forums, I would think. I'm not sure how far-reaching it is, but I belong to one called "nextdoor". I could see leads for gardening and potentially fossils, in horticulture classes and community gardening and museums, respectively.

At your young age - the gaming interests might get you the most exposure, followed by music.

For what it's worth - my son and my niece both found their spouces via the internet. One through a karaoke group and one through a dating site. Just food for thought
 
I had an awesome idea for a cake this morning.

Simply put, make a cake, cover it in white frosting, give it a red border, and decorate it to look like a Japanese Hanafuda.

For those that don’t know, Hanafuda translates to Flower Card. There are 48 cards in 12 suits, each suit representing a month. Here are some examples:

Did some more dessert baking today. Hope not to be accused of cheating :idunno ,, Made a packet cake, and added apples from can. No recipe to post, but the added apples is my idea.:old:yesss:
The packet mix is a seasonal item. Still have one box left. May try with different fruit.
