Hobbies (87 of 90)

Again, late post. Whoops.

You need a hobby hun:

You see, the problem with this statement is that I have plenty of hobbies. I may or may not have watched approximately 30 episodes of pokemon yesterday. Now, is there a problem with this, inherently, no. There was a problem once I started getting bored and fell asleep during numerous episodes (which I then restarted from the last part I remembered), but there's no inherent problem with pokemon being my hobby.

Well, maybe. I am a 20 year old female, so it is a bit against the grain. But I have no trouble with against the grain. But I see where the boy is coming from. I need a normal people hobby. A hobby that doesn't involve me sitting in pj's all day and watching 10 year old cartoons. Of course, my reply was that I have plenty of hobbies. I really do. My problem is that they're all story related. Or expensive, hell often times they're both. It's been discussed, but I'm obsessed with stories, the good and the bad. I will just as easily be captured by say Twilight's (admittedly terrible) story line, as I will the Monte Cristo's of the world. But books are mildly expensive and I am fast running out of shelving space. This hobby also doesn't require the donning of pants.

I've also made fencing a hobby. But I just don't believe the neighbors will appreciate it if the quiet girl who never leaves the house suddenly comes out waving a sword around at their children. Doesn't seem like it'd be the best idea I've ever had. So while this hobby may require pants, It also requires someone to stab at, which I don't have.

Video games are a constant source of love and entertainment in my life, but again, they do not require pants for me to enjoy. So, what then, would I take up as a hobby to both keep myself entertained, and leave the house. Dancing has been suggested, but as Dayna knows, that's almost impossible to get me to do. If I run, I treadmill it, If I play, again, it's electronically.

What is this ridiculous obsession with the outdoors? Yes they're pretty, yes its nice to be outside once in a while, but why do I have to go out there all the time to be considered "normal". Tanning is stupid, reading outside is a pain, and playing games (of the electronic variety) is even worse. I was not made for the average 20 year old girl activities. And trust me, if I had friends I'd go outside and play with them should the occasion warrant it. But, you see, I don't have those, so solitary indoor activities are just fine. Now, is there a problem with me not having any friends, maybe. But that's another blog post.

For now, the lack of friends hasn't become a detriment to my summer. It inevitably will as I slowly become more hermit like again, but for the moment, I'm alright not having those "friends" of which you speak. And by friends, I clearly mean the kind you can call up and physically see within 20 minutes or so. I have plenty of friends overall. Just very few within seeing distance at the moment.
