Hobbies

I went to the library yesterday. I found a book about a quartet of teenage girls who discover their love for knitting. It inspired me to greater heights of knitting expertise, since my knitting is currently pretty basic. I am very swayed by what I read. Sometimes.
It made me think about hobbies, and what they say about a person. One could just say, 'I like reading and writing and knitting.' Or one could be listed, like
She likes:
*reading
*writing
*knitting
So what does that say about me? I enjoy books and words and yarn? Or, I am a super-class A-life sized-mega-super GEEK?!?!?!?! (faints in horror at the very thought.)
We steroetype people a lot. Myself included. I see a big guy with a football getup and think 'oh, he's just a stupid sports jock'. I see a girl dressed in the height of fashion with tons of pink stuff and lip gloss and an annoying voice that goes,"Oh my word, Walmart is for HICKS, I need my Gucci Armani!" or whatever and I think, "oh my word, can that girl have enough air inside of her head, the ditsy Ms.Popular!" And on it goes. A vicious cycle that rampages the earth, warping it with its sick cloud of self-absorbtion and not-nice-ness. (A Note to say that that last phrase was poetry. Absolute poetry.) But, then, we have to think, 'what if the stupid jock really loves science? What if the oblivious popular girl really has a soft thing for kids? What if this girl who seems so nerdy, what with her books and words and yarn, what if she is just like every other girl, trying to have fun and survive this tumultous ride that is life?' Then, maybe, we can start to talk about world peace or whatever. Even though it ain't gonna happen. Humans are too predictable in some ways, and our touchyness will ALWAYS be there.
That was totally not the road I was planning on taking when I started writing this. I was thinking more along the lines of, "Now, what hobbies can we think of, and why are they cool, and blah-blah-blah." But I guess I was inspired by something. Maybe you, my belovedest readers.
I should probably go.OH! I spent the day with Katie yesterday. I told yall about her in entry one. Well, we had a blast. Thanks, Katie!! Loff you, my bestie!
Anyway, now I have to go. Farewell, my lurves!! Take care of your health. I have great worries about it. Drink lots of water. My mother says that that fixes basically everything. "It is cleansing the body of all its bad things that sit and rot in your liver!!" Or something like that.
Adieu!!!!!!!
