Honestly I never know what is going to fly out of my mouth next.
Me: I want to re-learn French.
The World: Okay. Maybe a bit impractical in Texas where a significant chunk of the population speaks Spanish but hey, what's the harm?
Me: And I want to take up figure skating.
The World: What an... unusual hobby for an adult to take up. But you know what, whatever gets you excited about physical fitness is great.
Me: I'd also like to take up pickling. I could TOTALLY be sitting on some sweet and spicy refrigerator pickles right about now...
The World: Wait, what? Pickling? Didn't you just mention learning French and figure skating?
Me: Yeah, but the point is, I'd like to go to more wine tastings.
The World: Wine tastings? When are you going to fit in more wine tastings? Is there a special 3am wine tasting for manic/depressives and security guards that just got off the clock?
Me: It's just I'm able to recognize flavors now, but I can't remember their names. That's it. French, figure skating, pickling, and wine.
The World: I mean I guess that reasonable... with some careful scheduling.
Me: And the tango.
The World: Pardon?
Me: I'd like to be able to dance the tango.
The World: Since when?
Me: Since five minutes ago when I this old couple totally rocking it to Otoño Porteño.
The World: Yeah, okay. But just because you see someone do something doesn't mean you-
Me: I also have a blog. You should check it out.
The World: All right. That's nice. I'm just gonna- I'm gonna go stand over here now.
Me (shouting after them): I make hats in my spare time! Would you like me to make you one!!
...I want to learn how to tango. I went to an open house for a dance studio years ago and basically got to sign up for 15 minute intro classes for a million different types of dance and tango was the best. "Up and to the left!" Hee.
ReplyDeleteAlso, MORE HOBBIES! I am a bad person to point out the ridiculousness of having a million hobbies to. Everyone should have a million hobbies, it's just weird if they don't.
