I always wondered whether or not I'm interesting. As a goofball, maybe. But as a person? I try to think about what interests me about other people. Here's a brief list:
1. Travel
2. Positive opinions about things/places, without being too naive or too into stereotypes.
3. A passion for something. Like if they collect something or actively participate in things.
4. Goal-oriented & they achieve them realistically.
5. Learner. They want to learn about things. But they don't dig into your personal life or want to know too many details. That borders on nagging/eavesdropping/rudeness.
I'm going to try to check my life against this list every so often. My main goal has always been to see the ocean. And to possibly go to Europe one day. I think that I am always afraid that I am going to be in Europe the day that the Earth explodes. I haven't figured that fear out fully yet. I still haven't figured out exactly what I want to learn. But I am considering my collections. I have started a nice collection of turtles. =) Fake ones, leave the real ones in nature where they can reproduce. However, they must be functional turtles. Not just knicknacks. It can be a picture of a turtle but either I have to take it or be in it. I have one of me smiling in front of the turtle pit in Seaworld. Seaworld and most zoos/aquariums are depressing places. Expensive & depressing places. I've been wondering if I feel the same way about museums.Labels: deep thoughts, lists, little things, turtle
