What I like to do

Someone asked me what I like to do for fun, and I thought, I have no idea. But that didn't sound like agood answer. So I came up with a list. Hey, I actually like to do stuff!!

What I like to do for fun/ chillllll
-Watch TV/ movies; go to the movies
-Take a walk/drive
-Go to Manhattan, or some other big busy place
-Take a walk in the park; go to the beach, anywhere with water. Love streams and lakes
-Read (not all the time though.)
-Paint
-Ice skate
-Bike riding, rollerblading, occasionally
-Write
-Walking or running, breaking a sweat (exercise)
-Listen to music
-Hang out with friends (which usually involved hookah, bars, or just sitting around chilling, talking.)
-Arcades, amusement parks (but NOT roller coasters), ping pong, (but NOT pool, I can't play that), air hockey, I'm really good at that.
-extreme dance machine. Never actually played it, but it looks really cool, I'd like to try it
-Boating, ferries, but NOT kayaks or rowboats
-Sit in Starbucks. I LOVE their couches there, and the ambiance
-Frisbees. Hopscotch. Play on a kids jungle gym. It's fun
-Going on the swings
-Basketball, though I suck at it
-Love to cook and create stuff
-Love to boss people around, run an event
-Enjoy watching kids, in classroom setting or casual. Taking them places and making them happy
-Build stuff, do arts n crafts. But I have no patience for coloring in the lines
-People watching
-I actually enjoy cleaning for fun. It is very satisfying to clean stuff. Let's off steam
-Set stuff on fire. Fire is cool and pretty. I like bonfires/campfires
-Love walking dogs, though I don't have a dog and probably never will. But of all the animals, they are the most fun and friendly
-Ohhhhhhhh I almost forgot- I LOVE to shop. Especially when I have money to spend. The smell of new clothes is intoxicating, and I get a high from walking out of the store with new purchases. It's almost as good as chocolate.
-Love watching sunrise or sunset. Whichever one I’m awake for.
-Love playing solitaire

What I do NOT like to do
-I do NOT like to learn for fun. Learning is something I associate with school, which gives me the creeps just to think about it. I am still in that stage where learning equals torture of the mind, and I have not grown up enough to reach the stage where learning is fun and enjoyable, and done for pleasure. So no, learning is NOT on this list.
-I do NOT like to knit, crochet, sew, or do needlepoint. Those things are for old people, or extremely bored souls, of which I am neither. Yet.
-I do NOT like museums, specifically not art or history museums. I find them extremely boring
-I do NOT like theaters or opera
-I do NOT enjoy swimming, but enjoy lounging in or around the pool
-I do NOT like to garden. That's boring. If things grow by themselves, cool, if not, who cares.
-I do NOT like to watch sports,(besides for MAYBE hockey) hear about it at all. I think it's a guy thing, and it's stupid and pointless
-I hate fish (in fish tanks). Just saying, I would never want to own fish. They are boring as hell. And cats. They are mean obnoxious unfriendly creatures. Can't stand them.

What I would LIKE to try
-Would like to try skateboarding
-Ride a motorcycle
-Get piss drunk
-Break a record
-Learn a musical instrument
-Write a book
-Hot wire a car
-Bungee jumping; sky diving, just for the thrill
-Hot air balloon
-Fly a plane
-Dye my hair
-Go to a shooting range
-Go fishing
-Skiing, snow tubing, any kind of mountain sports
-Get a tattoo (not really, just have to include that, like all the other degenerate teenagers)
-Act in a movie
-Go to a hockey game
-One day I want to own an inn, on an island near a lighthouse. It's gonna be really pretty, and I'm gonna run the place, and cook, and everything. It'll be awesome.
-Buy a boat
-Become an inspirational speaker. Don't know yet what I'll talk about, but I'll inspire people
-Get an empty room, and paint the walls however I want. Splatter it with paint. That's cool
-Do graffiti on the side of a building
-Throw dollar bills off the Empire state building, and watch them float in the breeze. Then laugh when people scramble to pick them up
-Build a sculpture out of diet coke cans, and submit it to a museum of Cool Stuff
-Go scuba diving, and check out a ship wreck
-Build a tree house
-Be part of an improv everywhere (random acting or dancing in a public place.)
-Gamble; go to a casino, go to Vegas.
-Take a road trip. Maybe to California
-Swim with dolphins

In conclusion to this little experiment, I have decided that I was right all along- I am at heart a loner. I enjoy my own company. I can't stand socializing with idiots. At times, people annoy me immensely, and I question why G-d made me a part of this bizarre race called humans. Sometimes I enjoy spending time with my friends, and sometimes I can't stand even them. (P.S.- No no no no, I LOVE you guys!!! I didn't mean that!!!!) Sometimes I like to be alone, and go places by myself. I like to shop alone which some females find appalling. But yes, I am confident enough that I am able to make purchases without another female voice squealing over how good it looks on me. I KNOW it looks good on me, thank you.

Though some people might think that being a loner is a negative thing, or that I am a boring person, I think those people are stupid, and they should go to (blank). Plus, I don't really care what people think. I like myself.

Though this may sound very much like I am trying to convince people, or even myself, that I am an awesome person, make no mistakes- I AM an awesome person, I already know that, and I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything, besides maybe convincing idiots to stop talking, and just look pretty.

  1. I think it is perfectly natural to want to do things alone. I would consider myself a loner, I enjoy things like reading, learning for fun (crazy I know) and will even go to a movie alone if I really want to see it and nobody else does. Although, I don't really go to movies anymore, but you get the picture. And while I understand where you think sports is stupid, I think shopping is stupid. I mean, just go in, get what you need, and get out, and get on with your life. I just don't get how shopping can be relaxing, but hey I'm just a boy. :) PS, it was great to get a blog to learn more about the Altie behind the blog. :D

  4. see this is how it works- women dont WANT men to go shopping with them cuz men are like little boys, they have to be entertained the whole time. so we stick them in front of the tv with pizza and beer, say bye hunny im going shopping, come back later, theyre still there, and everyone had fun. thats how it works.

  5. That I could handle. I especially like the pizza and beer part. :)

  6. yup. too bad you missed out, i already went shopping. you'll have to wait for the next time.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Oh well, ill go shopping with you as long as your paying.

  8. Give up, Altie, Men will NEVER get why women love shopping (and why some find it therapeutic). As for your list, it's great. If I were to make a list, most of what you wrote would be on mine. In fact, I'm seriously considering getting my pilot's license. I think that'd be awesome. So, are you going to actually attempt any of the things on your "What I would LIKE to try" list?

  9. haha. the point of the list was to isolate everything i WANT to do but know i never will. so, um, no, probably not. ALTHOUGH at the rate i drink diet coke, im sure ill have enough for a sculpture in no time. and everything else, hmmmm. time will tell.

  10. Wait, let me get this straight, we go shopping, you buy the stuff, and I have to pay for it? And, I get pizza and beer, which I also have to pay for? This doesn't sound like a very fair deal here miss Altie.

    ReplyDelete
  11. No, WE dont go shopping cuz as I already said, I dont shop with people. I shop alone. And I probably wont be paying for the pizza and beer, seeing as I dont eat either of them. Sorry dude. you're on your own.

    ReplyDelete
  12. But I still have to pay for your stuff? Thats a horrible deal!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Oh, bummer. Some of those things actually sound like they'd be fun (like a [pilot's license ;-)).

    Dan- Give it up. It will never make sense. Also, technically, considering that you'd be married to the woman, it would BOTH be your money, so she'd be paying as well.
