"so...what do you do for fun, mai?"
"what are your hobbies?"
"what do you do on the weekends?"
"what do you do on the weekends?"
i often get asked questions like these from all sorts of folks. you name it- friends, coworkers, family, the mailman, the trader joes check out person.....
every friday someone out there in the world always asks me:
every friday someone out there in the world always asks me:
"what are you up to this weekend?"
and i hesitate to answer.
i stop, and i secretly want to say:
and i hesitate to answer.
i stop, and i secretly want to say:
"...oh you know. i'm going to go bird watching. my women's roller derby team has a match. i go and write shakespeare poetry at the national mall. i like to work out my biceps and bench press 200lbs on the weekends".
really? NOPE.
in reality, it's more like...
"...oh you know. i'm going to eat because it's TGIF. i'm probably going to lie on my couch and surf the net for new recipes and restaurants. i'll walk my dog, but only for a short time cause my dog is lazy and so am i. i'll be doing laundry, avoiding tourists, and will do absolutely nothing this weekend".
the truth is.... i am not an interesting person. can "work" be a hobby? i like to go to work. seriously.
hello. my name is mai. i'm a 29 year old female workaholic.
i tried running. i hate it. i tried swimming. winter doesn't motivate me. i tried knitting. my fingers are too fat. i tried drawing. i crack myself up.
in a quest to find a cool hobby... i thought about something i like to do regularly.
what do i like to do everyday, all seasons, good mood or bad mood, injured or not?
hmm...
I LIKE TO EAT! i love food. i live to eat, not eat to live. i enjoy a good meal, preferably with good company. food is life.
...so food is my hobby.
