It's Friday! I hope you've all made it through the week without too many difficulties. My week has been really great, as my creative juices are really flowing. I've taken a short break from working on my novel to work on a short story idea I've had for a while. I will post sections from it beginning next week so I would like feedback. In keeping with yesterday's post I'm going to tell you about what I do when I'm not reading. I'd like you all to get to know me a little a better and show you that for a bookworm I do a lot of other things. So here's a few of my other hobbies/interests:
-Cooking/Baking: I grew up with a grandma and parents who encouraged me to cook and bake. I learned a lot from them and now I'm a pro at cooking and baking certain things. I have to brag here and say that I make great chocolate chips cookies and a delicious cheese sauce. I absolutely love pasta so I make a lot of pasta dishes. I'll willingly cook and bake for you if you ask.
-Watching television/movies: I spend entirely too much time watching TV, I'll admit to it. But I also watch a lot of movies with friends (in theaters and at home). Some of my favorite TV shows are Sleepy Hollow, American Horror Story, Once Upon a Time, Pretty Little Liars, Grimm and Dracula. Some of my favorite movies are Dirty Dancing (and basically any popular 80s movies), The Notebook, The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit movies, Harry Potter movies, James Bond movies, Star Wars movies, and a lot of other films I can't seem to think of right now.
-Playing with my niece: My niece is almost three and wonderful to be around. She calls me "Air" because she can't say Erin yet, and calls horses "horey's." She never ceases to make me smile and I love seeing her imagination at work. I'm hoping to pass on my love of books to her.
-Hanging out with friends: I have a lot of different friends so I don't always do the same thing with all of them. Some things I love do with friends are shopping (for books or anything really), going to museums/historical places, eating at restaurants, seeing movies, having movie nights/game nights, cooking/baking and doing absolutely nothing when we're too lazy to do anything.
-Shopping: I love shopping for books but I also have an addiction to shopping for clothes, shoes, and basically anything a typical woman loves to shop for. I tend to shop with my mom a lot (she has great taste and I need her to help me decide what to get). Some of my favorite stores are Barnes & Noble (of course), Half-Price Books, Aeropostale, American Eagle, Charlotte Russe, Gordman's, and Victoria's Secret.
-Listening to music: I'm not embarrassed to say that I have music sessions where I basically just sing (loudly) along with my favorite songs. I have an iPod full of music and even more music on my computer. I also have friends that are like walking radios (I'm serious!). Some of my favorite bands are The Beatles, The Killers, The Kills, Kings of Leon, The Neighbourhood, Arctic Monkeys, The Black Keys, Muse and Coldplay.
-Writing: I obviously write this blog but I also work on short stories, and most recently, my novel. I also write poetry occasionally.
Clearly I'm not just a bookworm but books are a large part of my life. I hope this gave you a little more insight into who I am as a person. Thanks for reading!
Erin a.k.a. Bookworm
P.S.-I've decided to take the weekends off from writing my blog but if I find something exciting to write about I will be sure to share it with you. Have a great weekend!
