Lately there are 2 things I have really been missing that are things that used to be/ things that I used to do
First off I miss when Twitter & The internet was more of a social thing! Honestly I log into twitter now and it’s just streams and streams of retweeted content/promotions for contests …Maybe it’s just in my world but noone really converses anymore! I swear it’s as if the social has been taken out of Social Media. I know i’m guilty of not tweeting as much as I used to, but I still try to to tweet the same sorts of things I always have. I’m not big on RT’s and contests and twitter parties for the most part. If you’re ever on twitter and you see something I tweet and want to talk back, don’t be scared I won’t bite (@xxpollypocket)
As far as in the real world I miss 2 things: Reading and Taking pictures. I have always been an avid reader with a book collection that would rival most any library that I have ever personaly been in. I have well over 1000 books which doesn’t count any additions in the last 5 years (WOWZERS) and it doesn’t count my massive childrens book collection (yes, i want that baby..and I am a former teaching major!) I used to read ALL THE TIME and I have always found it to be relaxing and enjoyable. It doesn’t take me long to read a book, most of the time less than a few hours. I hate to sound like i’m bragging but honestly IT IS AMAZING because I never had to spend HOURS and WEEKS reading books for classes. I could do it the night before which gave me an upper hand when it came to tests and such! It’s an good “quirk” that I Have.
With the internet and everything else though, I have gotten out of that habit and it sucks. ๐ I hope I can get back into it, especially with the kindle and everything. Plus, it used to help me with relaxing before bed and stuff. I guess we will see how it goes.
I also miss taking pictures. Granted I haven’t really had much going on to take pictures of in the last few months ..but I miss doing things like 365 and stuff! I need some inspiration on that front as well!
well those are a few of the things I have been feeling that I miss lately! Just wanted to write about it! ๐
