I Collect Hobbies
Wednesday, December 21st, 2005Jeffrey Veen recently published a post called What’s In Your Folder of Shame?, inviting his readers to share the titles of blog entries that have not been published and are instead accumulating dust. Apparently, I am really good at writing one or two sentences for a concept of an entry, but it seems rare that I flesh out something that I feel is publish-worthy. That’s why this week I’ve been trying my dig-dang-diddly-darndest to publish at least a little nugget for you every day. Yes, all four of you.
In the spirit of the folder of shame, I would like to share my shameful list of hobbies that I continuously collect, with the goal of one day dedicating enough time to them. In the meantime I bounce from one to the other, giving each only enough attention to get its hopes up, then I toss it aside like a crummy velveteen rabbit:
- Become fluent in Spanish and Italian
- Drums, guitar, and piano
- Watercolors and oil painting
- Learn electronics
- Build a robot
- Everything computer-related
- Knitting
- Drawing
- Video editing
- Animation
- All types of biking
- Video games
I’m sure I will continue to add to this list as more things pop into my mind and as I accumulate more hobbies. What’s on your list o’ hobbies?
