I like...

Lately I've been thinking about what I could do for a living and trying to get away from the idea that I can't do anything right and don't want to do anything anyway. I've been trying to gather a list of things I like doing, not yet considering the obstacles of each one of them. Right now it's just good to know that I like things and I'm interested in them, because it gives me hope. So here it goes:

1. As you know I like writing and I've been writing stories since I was seven. I still have that notebook with my first attempts: funny and full of spelling mistakes.
2. I love languages, their history and development, the similarities and differences between them. The more complicated the better.
3. I love books, all kinds of books.
4. I love magazines and newspapers and would enjoy working in one, but not like a reporter, it's not my style.
5. I like history and understanding what's going on in the world and why. I like to understand what I hear on the news and not just "accept" it.
6. I love astrology and I've considered studying it in more detail and maybe even getting into it professionally but...I think people around me would have a fit.
7. I love beauty products - can anyone get a job solely on this?
8. I love animals and nature but I get too emotional about all of that so I couldn't work with that everyday.
(This is reminding me of an episode of Seinfeld where George is unemployed and is wondering what to do with his life. He says: "I like sports. I could be...a sports commentator." And Jerry goes: "Yeah, right. I think they give that spots for former players and experts..." It's not that easy lol)
9. I like to know about people's life stories. Some lives are just fascinating and every one of them has something special, even if people don't see it at first.
10. I like to investigate things and I'm a bit snoopy. I've thought about becoming a private detective ;)
11. For ages my dreamjob was to be a radio DJ. It sounds like the easiest job in the world and sometimes you don't even have to pick up the songs because there's a playlist. Boring! I love music but I couldn't get a job there: first I have no musical talent and I hate music critics, as I've mentioned before.
12. And I do like Psychology, although at the moment it seems like the last thing I want to do. I like it and I think it can get better and better but a variety of circumstances have made me wonder if this is the right thing for me. I love you little science but you demand too much of me :)

12 sounds good enough for now. At least, I'm a person with interests.

Song of the day: Lilac Wine - I dreamt about this song today, I was walking down the street at night holding a stereo and this song was on. Beautiful :)

My dog's having surgery tomorrow. The poor boy...everything happens to him but I hope he pulls through this one as well.
