NaBloPoMo - Day 8
8) Okay. Let's be real. We all have lives outside of LJ/DW. What else are you obsessed with, love to do, or particularly good at, that most bloggers don't know about?
I can't actually think of anything. I'm obsessed with writing. Otherwise I'm a dabbler. I can quilt but seldom do it. I can paint but lost my muse when Sara died. I love books and reading but I don't even do that like I once did. Two things I love to do that take no skill but give me great joy are reading poetry and going to art museums.
Though I have never written poetry, I can't get enough of it. I am particularly fond of classic poetry but I also like some modern poets. That was always my favorite part of English class and I can sit and read it for hours.
Art Museums are like walking through heaven on Earth. MY earliest trip was one to the North Carolina Museum of Art in 7th grade. We went in and almost immediately,
we went out again. Larry took us to New York in the 90s and we went to the Moma - omg! Starry Night was the first thing I saw and I cried at its beauty. Then the rest - wow. We also lucked out to be there for the first day of an exhibit of Dr Gachet: The Collection of Dr. Gachet. We've been the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam, the Rijksmuseum there as well. We also have visited several in Munich, Berlin and Essen, Germany! As you see, I particularly love Van Gogh.
