elusivekAh... yeah, I need to be here more often... but real life is being so overwhelming... I’m going to clear out some backlog posts so sorry for bombarding your feed...
Would you rather [hobbies version]...
- shop // sunbathe
Really... neither... but if I have to choose... shop
- dance // sing
Again... neither really. If I have to choose, then maybe sing. Alone. No audiences.
- watch college football // watch NFL
Not my culture. I know I can google it, but being entirely honest, I don’t even know what an NFL is. And by name, why would anyone want to watch college-anything?
- write // read
Much easier! Definitely read!
- chat online with friends // hang out with friends
Well... this really depends on the friend(s) in question. We don’t do so much “online chats” nowadays, the most similar thing we do is group messaging (WhatsApp), and I’m cool with both. We can have entire discussions by WhatsApp, especially now it has this voice message function as well.
Hanging out with friends is cool as well. Well, for some friends, when they show up, they are always on the phone on games or other chats, so I get inwardly annoyed at those, and just simply ignore them and talk to the other friends that are there. I mean, if you received a message, I’m totally ok with you taking your phone out to see what’s up (could be important), tapping a quick reply, and putting the phone away. But if you’re more engrossed with the phone chat or game than with us humans sitting together with you, be prepared to get ignored and me being snarky when you finally deign to delight us with your presence.
