List five things you do for fun.

Bloganuary – Daily Prompt

I almost didn’t write this post. Even now I’m not positive I’ll finish it. I’m confusing this prompt with one of the first prompts this month – Playtime. What more can I say…

And then I thought about it too much…

Once again I checked the Merriam-Webster online dictionary-

fun (noun)
1: what provides amusement or enjoyment
specifically : playful often boisterous action or speech
2: a mood for finding or making amusement
3a: AMUSEMENT, ENJOYMENT
3b: derisive jest : SPORT, RIDICULE

fun (verb)
: to indulge in banter or play : JOKE

fun (adjective)
1: providing entertainment, amusement, or enjoyment
2: full of fun : PLEASANT

I know I embrace the verb form of fun. I make my own, especially at work. And if I’m truly thinking about it, in my attempts to indulge in play, I’m practicing the adjective form as well. You can verify with my co-workers, I provide entertainment. I say “I’m only there for the comic relief…”

So, what else is fun for me?

My photography has provided years of fun for me. It is many things to me, with fun being an important part. The learning, the exploration, and the sharing are all parts of what I find fun. Oh, I can also be frustrated, confused, and lost with my photography, but every time I come back to it, the fun is what I reach for.

My other big source of fun is video games. I don’t watch TV. I do not have cable. I stream what few things I watch. But video games, oh yeah, definitely fun. The worlds to explore, the problem solving, the exhilaration of completing a difficult area, and the escape from the long days at work. Yep, I can have fun.

The same can be said for reading a book. The world that is created in my mind when reading a good book is better than any movie or TV show. I can get lost inside that book. Oh what adventures I have experienced.

Reading what I have written so far has me thinking I should trash this post. I’m such a nerd… ha ha ha
