a tough question

Someone asked me yesterday what do I for fun - the question struck me as amusing, and even more so when I struggled for an answer. I suppose a part of it was because I was wondering how she defined "fun," and therefore attempting to filter my answer through her lens.

My answer to her was mostly ambiguous - a ramble of not the best quality, something along the lines of "I...hmm...fun...well I'm usesd to spending time alone and so therefore...reading..." and then really didn't answer the question.

But because the question has now been asked it has since rattled around in my brain...

SO FUN - first of, it doesn't much about my personality if I have to struggle to think of what I do for fun, although again I think it is a self conscious reaction to trying to filter "my" fun through others' -

In an attempt to answer the question I allowing for "fun" to be synomous with "enjoyable" - is that accurate?!

FUN:

1. I read. I sit with a book - a fictionaly tale, it could be a new one or what is even more fun is to sit with a book that I'm familiar with and to loss myself in the story, and the dynamics of the characters.

2. I read blogs. I follow multiple blogs, mostly of people I've never met. I like discovering people's stories, smiling at the humor, marveling at a truth.

3. I write on my own blog.

4. I serve at church...(see ending paragraph)

5. I spend time with my family.

6. Working with my children, probably where I have most "fun" moments -- such as making pirate hats and going on treasure hunts...

7. I don't do it often enough but I derive great enjoyment, and have fun spending time with people wherein we engage in animated and spirited conversation.

Is there a difference in doing something for fun, and having fun in the midst of doing? For instance, I don't go to kickboxing to 'have fun' but in the process I do have fun.

I read just for fun, I don't necessarily read to expand my knowledge...but otherwise overall it seems as I live life, and along the way I have fun. In fact I was remembering an instance when Boaz and I were dating, and we went to pick up some groceries to cook dinner, and we had fun. It wasn't planned, I wouldn't say I go grocery shopping to have fun, but along the way of living I had fun. I don't know, I just don't have desire to go and do something "fun" for the sake of it -- i don't know if I understand it completely...

Does that make me boring? Does it even matter? Do I perhaps overanalyze????
