I'm an average cook but I've been really getting into it lately, having bought my first pasta cookbook the other day. Maybe it will be the start of a lifelong passion? Or perhaps it will just be another thing to add to the long list of hobby's I have had and lost interest with in my life. It's good to try new things, so you can find out what you really have a passion for.
One interest I have now is Pottery, and I'm getting pretty good. Just last week I made my first mug and teapot - at this rate I'll never have to buy my own kitchenware again!
My greatest addiction is probably reading (though some who know me might say shopping comes as close). When you can get into a good book and let the words weave a web of magic that takes you away to a different time or place, when you can literally see the characters of the story brought to life in your minds eye and join them on their adventures and share their joy and sorrow, it is an amazing gift that a writer can give you. Real life can sometimes be a bit too much and It can get me down, but knowing I can pick up one of my favorite authors and be captivated and at peace after just a few pages is a relief.
Another stress relief in my life is my amazing boyfriend Cyris. Over two years together now and he still puts a smile on my face and can make me laugh. He's a Web Developer and the complete opposite to me, in love with everything old, history and my books, and Cyris with his talent on the computer, always interested in any new technology that comes along. I guess that's why we work so well, if you believe that saying "opposites attract".
Well that's enough about me for today, I'll be back when I have something interesting to write in here.
