My Top 3 Hobbies

Alright, so this post is obviously about My Top 3 Hobbies.

Hobby 1~ Writing!
I absolutely LOVE to write. Mostly fantasy/fiction, or fantasy, but, when necessary, I can write non-fiction. I prefer fiction because it allows me to get all of these ideas out of my head and onto tangible (in this case, paper). I aspire to be an author later in my life, which is probably why I shall minor in English in college. I've been told by many people that my writing simply makes them forget what they're reading is fictitious. I have even had one famous author, to whom I sent a couple rough drafts, tell me "Your work ensnared my mind and transported me to a different world. For someone this young to be this advanced is simply unfathomable. I very much wish to make your acquaintance in the near future." That author was Rick Riordan, so I don't take that compliment lightly.

Hobby 2~ Tennis!
I started playing tennis a couple years ago, but many people have told me I have advanced quickly in the amount of time I've had. I'm not an awesome player, but I can hold my own in a match. I'm not going to give away my playing style here, but I will tell you, when I start a point, I like to play fast and hard. And if I just happen to win that point, I feel great. If I lose, I get slightly angry (at myself) but, other than that, I don't show any other emotion. It's kind of freaky (if I do say so myself) but it unsettles my opponents and puts them in an awkward position making them wonder "Did he mean to do that?"

Hobby 3~ Reading!
Let me give you an example of how much I like reading: By the time I was 8, I was reading at a Graduate school level. Pretty cool, huh? I've always been able to read faster than most of my peers, even learn faster. It can be an advantage, but, because I was so good at it, it kind of labeled me as a weirdo. So, I was socially deprived until high school. That's when a group of people became my friends and helped me become part of who I am today. Hopefully, you don't blame them. ANYWAYS.... Now, I read better than most college Professors (I've been tested in this area), and, when debating, I use my hoarded knowledge of books to help me win nearly any debate possible. One rule about my reading though: Never, EVER, take away my books. They actually helped me get to where I am today. Literally.

Well, that's it for now. Until then, Whiskey Husk!
