I'd Rather Be With You

"I need to be bold, need to jump in the cold water. Need to grow older with a [boy] like you. Finally see, you were naturally, the one to make it so easy when you showed me the truth. I'd rather be with you. Say you want the same thing too." - Joshua Radin

For years, my primary hobby has been sleeping. May sound a little sad or something, but what can I say? I'm great at it! I guess the other primary hobby I have is listening to music....it's rare for me to have silence in the background of my life. But then I love to dance, so I guess that's a pretty legitimate pastime. :)

But for more tangible activities, it's hard for me to pinpoint a specific one. Does going on long walks (with music!) count? Hmmm......I love to doodle and paint. Pastels. Oils. Colored pencils. Pen and ink. I love art in general. I have thousands of beads for making jewelry because I used to be really into it but don't have the time for it anymore. I guess blogging is a hobby? Lord knows I LOVE to write. Ever received a genuine e-mail from me? Exactly!!! Food is a biggie. I have hundreds of recipes but just being one person on a tight budget, I don't want to buy all the ingredients to cook something I probably can't finish off haha. So many desserts I'm dying to try......maybe someday when I have a larger household, and larger house in general lol. Wait, I got one.....READING. Love to read! Books, magazines, online medical journals....love it all! The pictures in the slideshow above were all taken and edited by me. No professional experience but I love photography as pastime. I've never taken any classes but I really want to. On that note, I guess I can put school as another one. I love to learn. Actually go to class, research, write papers; I'm a freak, I know....

I've probably bored you to tears with this random post today. It stems from somebody telling me recently to "get a hobby".....or maybe I told someone that? Either way, it got me thinking about how I spend my time and what my passions are.
