There are some hobbies that are less like passions and more like time killers. It depends on the person, I guess. If I picked up the guitar, it would be a time killer, but there are plenty of non-famous people who play good guitar… right? If a guitar player then picks up piano, or drums, it’s still within the musical range. You can’t call them diet coke musicians. I wouldn’t anyway. But that’s mostly because I don’t know music, except that I like it (lyrics, I understand lol. It’s the notes and chords I get tripped up on.)

I don’t know a LOT of things come to think of it. On Sunday I went over to my friends house, who’s just getting into MLM businesses. He’s so passionate about it, he could talk for hours about the different internet businesses he’s checked out. I have another friend who’s an alt model and has so many cool stories about doing latex shoots with whips and gimps. I keep thinking that their passion for modeling and MLM is the only thing they’re truly passionate about, and I’m completely wrong. I know so many people who seem to be passionate about everything that they do. envy…

Envy’s a strong word. Lemme just say that I don’t get how one person can have passionSSS (plural). Honestly, I was trying to figure out why my friends are passionate about multiple subject, when it hit me that I’m the weird one that only likes one thing: stories.

AH you thought I was going to say writing did you? Actually I was… but the point is that while I enjoy writing, it’s the process of creation that I’m passionate about. Making the story with the backlot, the main characters, the random neighbor guy, the way the bushes look when the moonlight hits them , why that all ties into the plot, when did Sally’s madre dissapear… The writing it down is only one outlet for my story passion. I also read till my eyeballs fall out. I draw, on occasion (when I’m feeling really ambitious). Also, I like to quiz people on their own stories. I’m really nosey and love gossip, because it’s all about the STORY.

So I guess that if a hobby isn’t a passion, it just kills time till you have to do something else. If it’s a passion, you make time to do it. Hmm… I have a feeling that this post is all over the place and my attempt to just tie it in failed. yay! :)

Pick an alternative lifestyle and write about how hard it would be. Like having to tell your parents that you’re gay and introducing them to your boyfriend/girlfriend. Tough…
