Hobbies

For art class we have to keep a picture journal of our own drawings as well as pictures we find visually appealing.
So I thought...hmmm....what are things I like to look at..................................
I don't know.
So then I thought...hmmmm....what are things I like in general......................
I don't know.
Then I thought....ok, what are my hobbies....................................................
Three strikes. You're out.
***
I HAVE NO HOBBIES!!!
***
When people ask me what I like to do I suddenly change the topic to "Ooh! Let's go get pizza!" or "Did you see the size of that bird?!"
***
=( This parenthesis frown does not give my real frown justice. Just ask my mother, I have a big bottom lip when I wanna pout.
***
I've never taken a strong interest in anything but writing.
So I'm bored with myself. I need some hobbies. Golfing. baseball cards. Gardening. Sewing. Cooking. Anything.
***
Hmmm....so how does a 21-year-old college student develop a hobby?? And what should I do??
The only things I know of that I enjoy aren't REALLY hobbies, such as:
  1. Sarcasm
  2. Working at the Bowling Alley
  3. Reading
  4. Watching old movies
  5. Watching Disney movies until I have every line memorized
  6. Procrastinating and STILL succeeding
  7. Having poor decision making skills
  8. Talking to my bamboo plant
  9. alphabetizing things
  10. Dancing in my room
  11. Walking around the temple
  12. Sleeping in
  13. Daydreaming for hours
  14. Washing dishes
  15. Vacuuming
  16. Rearranging furniture
  17. Squealing at baby animals
  18. Making outfits with matching headbands, earrings, and shoelaces
  19. Playing Nintendo 64
  20. Lying in the sun on the ground...like a cat

See? Not hobbies. So if anyone asks, I'm putting up a want ad for hobbies. All suggestions appreciated. =)

How I Met My Mother

     In order for you to fully understand my story I need to start 26 years ago in Tacoma, Washington. Born into the world was a little brown starfish with more hair than cousin It. She was cute. She was 4 pounds. She was me.      I won't go in to too much detail in order to respect my mother's privacy, but she wasn't at a place in her life where she could take care of me so I went into foster care. My birth mother came to a couple visits to see me, but shortly after, she disappeared. Two years later this awesome couple adopted me and a family was born. My parents were open with me about my adoption from Day 1. I never knew anything about my birth mother except what I could find on my birth certificate: name, birth date, etc.      Despite being happy, there was always a missing piece. I just wanted to KNOW. I wanted to know where I came from. I wanted to know what happened. I wanted to meet the person whose toes I inherited! That...

Termites and Midnights and Night Lights

Hi! It has been too long. I've been...well I could say busy but I'd be lying. Actually I've been lazy and boring and that means watching lots of episodes of F R I E N D S , eating mac and cheese for breakfast, and taking naps in the sun . No one wants to hear about that. But I did do some fun things =) 1) B I O L O G Y I decided to take Biology this summer. Now, for those who don't know, Math and Science are the names of those two little demons in Disney's Hercules movie...at least in my mind. So Biology is my LAST general core class at BYU. Most people take it their 1st semester of college and I'm taking it my senior year. I've been dreading it. Well, so far it has been surprisingly enjoyable. We read a book called Voo doo Sci ence (I know, I know) and it was really cool. Now we are reading a book about decisions and it has guys blowing up missiles and fire figh ters in action. It rocks! Don't worry, it gets better. Today we played with TERMITES ...

Just another day in Paradise...

So, a couple of us wanted to go to The National Gallery and Trafalgar Square but we took one wrong turn and ended up in a sketchy part of town. There was graffiti everywhere and it was interesting. We ended up walking past an airport and eating in a train station. Haha. It was way fun, let me tell you. The next photo and story is Cambridge! We went there on Wednesday. The picture is of Verulamium a little place we stopped where they had a cool Roman mosaic and some old things like ancient jewelry and such. So fun! That's Elizabeth, Kate and me in the picture. Cambridge didn't excite me much so there are no pictures of it. Plus, my camera battery died. But we did go to an Evensong there and it was so amazing! The last picture is THE BYU LONDON CENTRE!!! Beautiful, right? I kknow! I feel so blessed to live in this lovely place. It's right aroound the corner from Notting Hill too! ever hear dof Portobello road? It's a walk and a skip away!
