Distraction
I wouldn’t call it being obsessed, it’s called having an interest a, a passion a distraction. Just like Sarah from “What truthiness taught me about being (UN) cool” she has a passion something that fires up her life, Stephen Colbert. She doesn’t care what people think. Just like her I have something that fires up my life. Well its two thinks one, the Twilight Saga and the second one, Taking Pictures. I tell people that I like those two things and all they do is laugh at me and tell me that I’m conceded. I really don’t care what they think of me. I know what I like and what I am. Those two things fire me up because it’s like I get into a different world. When taking pictures I can explore different things, such as the type of picture I take the angle that I take it in and the different styles there is to take it. Twilight fires me up because it’s a very nice story it gets me to thinking and to day dream. It’s like a shelter a layer that blocks the world from me when I’m reading I’m in the book not anywhere else. Those are the things that fire me up. I don’t think that I would change hose things because of other people’s judgments.
