My Hobby

Some people like to fish. Some people like to knit. Me, I like to surf the internet. True, I have "normal" hobbies: I like to play basketball, soccer, football, and almost any other sport where I can win. I like to write software. I like to play video games. But one of the things I really enjoy doing is being online with another friend, you know who you are, and just trading links and making smart-ass comments.

Some people take me to be an extrovert. I actually don't like the spotlight all that much. I'm pretty terrible at public speaking (although that is relative) and performing in front of others makes me anxious. But I love being the kid in the back that makes smart-ass comments.

This is one of the primary reasons why I like to surf the internet. In addition to being an information miser, I like to read other people's comments. I read a particularly touching story, today, of a Kansas man who lifted a car off a girl.

Here are the comments I read. I particularly enjoyed the last one.
