New Hobby!
In college, totally imprinting on my preppy RA, I began collecting anything to do with cute little piggies. My family and friends obliged me every Christmas and birthday since . My family would occasionally asks me, "Are you done with pigs? Should we get something else?" And I would think about it and think, no, I like the pigs, keep 'em coming...they're so counterintuitively cute.
But I have a new need to fill. Last night, I rewarded myself for FINALLY cleaning my refrigerator for the "Movie Lines" magnetic poetry.
I haven't made up crazy movie lines, I just had fun pulling them all apart and putting them together in various places on the fridge. "A boy's best friend is his mother." "I just shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he'll get in my pajamas, I'll never know." "I love the smell of napalm in the morning." "They call it a Royale with cheese." "May the force be with you." etc, etc.
But it still doesn't look right. My fridge is almond colored, and all the poetry lines are white. I have about four other magnets on my fridge as well as a birth announcement from my friends V & V's kid and a picture of my nephews. (You see what's coming next.) I've decided to adopt refrigerator magnets as my new collectible hobby. Especially ones of movie stars and movie scenes.
I collect US presidential campaign buttons and Soviet medals, but that is a pricey e-Bay kind of hobby that I handle myself. Refrigerator magnets, I figure, come up just about everywhere. So if anyone feels the urge to do me a random act of kindness or celebrate me in some fashion, a refrigerator magnet would be a good way to do it. And if anyone wants to be mean to me, taking one of the few I have would be a good way to do that.
