About Jo-Anne Tuesday...............I'm boring



I think I am boring I don’t know what other people think of me but I think I am a boring person to be around. It is not like I don’t have interests because I do I love to read and to blog and of course I like to watch TV and yes I know I may watch more television then some people would say is a good thing but it is my main source of entertainment and I do not see anything wrong with that. 

I also spend a lot of time sitting in front of the computer, reading blogs and checking me emails and of course writing letters and such. I love pen paling and have 20 odd penpals from around the country and around the world. I have been pen paling since I was in my teens and think it is a wonderful hobby.


I think life is better if you have some kind of hobby/pastime and I have a few of them thankfully, but still I think people think I am boring………………….ok I think members of my family think I am boring I don’t know why I have such a thought in my head and part of me knows it is properly not true but still the thought is there.

  1. You're not boring at all. Anyone who reads as much as you and interacts with people as much as you is definitely not boring.

  3. A person who loves to read cannot possibly be boring. Besides, if you were boring, then why would we read your blog? You are NOT boring.

    Love,
    Janie

  5. My hobby is writing. And that thing I do with lawn flamingoes.
    But, writing is much more appropriate to bring up at dinner parties.

  9. You couldn't possibly be boring to have around. I find you so entertaining. You have a delightful way of looking at things and you say what you feel. You have opinions on so many things and your sense of humour is lovely. I think you'd be fun to have around!

  11. People who find you boring just don't share the same interests as you. With as much as you say you read, I'd bet you are a fascinating person with much knowledge!

  13. Teresa......I don't know what makes me think I am boring but it is good to hear that others don't think the same thing.

    Joanne.....I do love having pen pals it always makes me feel great when I get letters instead of bills.....

    Desiree......Yeah I have some opinions and at times I love to share them and I know I am not boring I was just having a moment

    Whiteangel.....No idea what got that thought into my head but it is gone now......

  14. I have a friend, an email penpal, who always insists her life is boring and never tells me what she's doing. But the thing is, it may be boring to her but not to me. That surely goes for you too.
