Truth be told, I just don’t have many hobbies. I didn’t really do any extracurricular junk in high school or university, and I don’t really now, either. I’m tired of responding ‘making iphone apps lols’ when somebody asks me what I like to do.

This needs to change.

And for this very reason, I’m beginning a new life policy on Monday: I will become passionately, absolutely involved in a different hobby every week, and only for a week. These hobbies can be suggested by anybody, and once a hobby has been suggested, it absolutely needs to be attempted - there’s no getting out of it.

Couple early ground rules I’ll be laying down for myself:

1. New hobbies will be introduced every Monday, and will continue for 7 days.
2. Must spend a minimum of 30 minutes being actively involved with the hobby every day.
3. Maximum of $50 will be spent on any given hobby.
4. The timeline of hobbies can be shuffled and reshuffled, but once suggested, the hobby must be accepted and attempted at some point.

First hobby begins on Monday, August 30th: The week of Beading. First project will be a macaroni necklace. Fucking excited.

Strictly hypothetically speaking, it would probably be a little socially-arguable to google the job position of the girl that you met on the corner at the red light at Pine & Leavenworth. And I suppose it might be a little creepy to stumble across her LinkedIn profile, which you then might hypothetically use to search Facebook and stumble across her profile. 

You might be hypothetically intrigued by the fact that she “increased lead flow by 20% while strengthing brand awareness,” or that she has a masters in Financial Analysis from some university in the Ukraine.

You might even, then, consider sending her a Facebook message making up some lame excuse for not properly introducing yourself on the corner of Pine & Leavenworth.

Or maybe you could just ask for a number next time.

There’s absolutely no reason for you to not chase whatever it is that you want, even if you’re not entirely sure what it is that you’re chasing.
