one way

Sitting at Starbucks...so cliche I know but it's close to home...multitasking between reading, blogging, daydreaming and waiting for powerpoints to show up in my inbox so I can do responsible grown-up people stuff. I'm not-so-inconspicuously avoiding the group of creative writing club "peeps" sitting at the tables behind me. They meet here a lot and do creative writing-y stuff, I suppose...they are always posting about it on the Facebook page. It occurs to me while I'm sitting here that this (creative writing and the world of fantasy) is their main interest outside of whatever they are studying at school. I can hear them talking about dwarfs...and rules and stuff. I don't know. Does it ever bother you that people tend to fall into the same routine of interests? For example, this dude in creative writing club...we'll call him Dallas...is interested in video games, creative writing, all things fantasy and probably sci-fi, peanut butter M&M's and Dr. Pepper. What else does he do? I don't think he really does much else. When do people consciously (or perhaps subconsciously) decide to stop discovering? When do people say, 'what I do everyday/most of the time is good enough for me'? Are people really satisfied? I prefer to have a broad range of interests...currently I enjoy creative writing, singing, skating, brewing beer...the list goes on and there are things that I've only gotten a taste of or things I've done but can't always have access to doing. I'm not trying to say it's better to do it my way, just that I think I would get really bored if I were doing the same things all the time. I couldn't be satisfied. With that thought...I really want some koolaid. Peace.
