Once upon a time this was a foreign word to me.
Hobbies.
I never searched for a hobby, I never had an interest in filling my downtime with anything besides watching TV and playing on the computer.
I use to be the annoying girlfriend who wanted to hang out with Danny ALL. DAY. LONG ( yea... I was that annoying girlfriend, "hang out with me and only me! cuz I'm special"... puh-lease 18 year old me.. grow up!)
I would nag him while he was enjoying his music hobbies, simply because I was bored and nothing was on TV.
Then he said something inspiring..well inspring to me
"Why don't you have a hobby?"
Sure it could be taken as rude.. but I know Danny, and he wasn't being mean... he just wanted me to have something of my own to love.
So after I got defensive saying I had lots of hobbies, and that he was totally wrong, and what a punk he was... I started to be real. I didn't have a hobby. Who was I kidding? TV is lame and makes people into zombies.
So after YEARS ( yes. years.. I am now 24 and have finally found my hobbies)
I am older.. and wiser ( HA!) and having hobbies is what makes my little heart flutter.
I love picking up a new book, the excitement of what thrilling story I will be thrown into.
Or riding my bike, listening to tunes and getting lost in the world around me.
I have found a love for cooking.
and an interest in sewing... I just need to learn =D
I sound like an 80 year old woman " I like to cook, read, and bitch about things" someone help me.
but now I want to introduce my new hobby.
I have always loved taking pictures. So when the opportunity for me to take my love for photos to the next step, I took it, and I am never looking back!
Do I want to make this into a career. nope.
For now, I am enjoying my new hobby.


I need a hobby! But I'm lame and have not figured it out yet. Maybe I'll find one when I'm 24 :p
