So, in a fashion that is the exact opposite from a pattern I have set in my life, I am trying to start a habit. Mostly in my life, I find that I have devoloped a habit unintentionally, and then I must put a strong mental effort into trying to break that habit. This includes, but is not limited to, smoking, biting my fingernails and shopping on my lunch break. ( i hope josh doesnt read that... not highly likely though.) But now I find myself at a new place in my life and I am attempting to fill my spare time with stimulating and varried hobbies. I am trying to get into the habit of writing on this blog every day, even if I have no specific topic in mind. I am also drawing in my sketch book everyday and trying to read one classic book a month. I am trying to knit more and complete a few sewing projects also.
As I read over this, I realize how absolutely boring I sound. What 23 year old in their right mind knits? Well, that answer is simple. According to a conversation that was repeated yet again at work to day, I could easilly pass for being thirty. The women I work with are absolutely shocked to find that I am 23. I am not exagerating. They are not just mildly interested and I am blowing this out of porportion. These women are shocked. one girl looked at me and said " wow, I'm glad I got good genes." As if to imply that I have somewhat inferior genes. And if her genes are "good" genes, I am losing faith in the human race I will tell you that right now. .. but anyways, to tie this all together, I have decided to start telling people that I am 39. That way people will be amazed at how good i look, and they will not think i am an unhip loser who is too young to be knitting.
