Free time

[Magenta]

Someone I knew recently asked me how I spent my free time.  I thought about it for a while and realized that other than daydreaming, I don't really have any hobbies, participate in any clubs, or take part in social activities.  I've never been a big joiner.  The activities I do enjoy (reading, journaling, watching movies, researching topics online) are not of the social variety, and my inquisitor seemed perplexed by this.  I didn't dare say that daydreaming takes up a decent block of time.  Hmm.  As someone with MD, technically, I guess I don't really have any "free time", do I?   My question to you all is, do you have any hobbies other than daydreaming?  If so, do they help you socialize?

Well other than the basics of reading, watching tv and movies, and daydreaming of course, nothing really. I am in a club at school but its mandatory for community service. I use to play soccer and I daydreamed while doing our drills and stuff so I didnt really socialize all that much and there wasnt a whole lotta time to talk, or any people that I actually liked except for a select few. I honestly dont like going out that much because Im not a good conversationalist! So I always get nervous about what to say and i cant stand awkward silences!! I assure you im not too socially awckward just around certain people.. Does that make Sense?

 

Anyways, im no social butterfly. Heck, the people who I hang out with the most are my Daydream Characters! And wow I cant believe i just admitted that.

I hate it when people ask me what my hobbies are or what do I do in my spare time. I really don't have any hobbies either. Lately I've started baking so that'll be a nice answer but I don't collect anything, I don't go to any social events. Today someone asked me what my plans are for the weekend and I said mopping my floors! I do like to read and I'm addicted to looking up stuff on the internet but I feel like I should have a list of things to rattle off about myself if someone asks.

I write for a few online magazines and have a blog (that tries to be funny). Basically, my time is taken up with writing. Obviously there is work and friends too.

 

MD makes it hard to write sometimes though. When I dd so much that my mind is foggy and I feel sick, I often have to work hard to meet my deadlines.

I do meditation...i think that helps me get outside more then anything.

The only hobby I have that I don't use to help advance or access my world is art. I paint, sculpt, make jewelry, and (occassionally) write. Though this is something I use to the advantage of my world, I love cosplaying and going to cosplaying conventions. I thought I should include this because it is the only socializing I do all year (other than the necessary, of course) and I rather enjoy it. Other than that though, I do not have any sort of hobby that would bring me into contact with another person.
