Thinking about FUN-damentals of FUN
While thinking about my fun things, I realized that it gets more and more personal. I felt like writing diary. Then, the more I tried to think why it's fun for me, the less it got fun. I became homesick for a while, I suddenly missed so many stuffs I like that I don't have right now. Then, I asked myself what about new fun stuffs that I haven't experienced yet. Am I not trying enough to find new things? Am I feeling guilty when I try to find fun stuff rather than prepare for my career? Should I try to find fun in something related to my career? What's still fun which has no meaning or value but just fun? When so many questions come up in my mind, it gets less fun. So I just tried to find the happy moments I had in my memory and write them here.
I like to go to a book store to see various kinds of books, play the keyboard using different sound patches, draw using tablet, walk through the path surrounded by lots of trees, fold T-shirts smelling the freshness after laundry, watch birds' funny way of walking, sing walking, cook La-myun(noodle) experimentally, record and watch video files of me & my friends all happily chatting after drinking some alcohol, eat Korean street food standing and chatting with friends, watch classic music performance with my mother, talk about the strangest and weirdest ideas about making a game with friends, see my program working perfectly or find errors immediately, watch Korean soap opra, play a game that makes me feel that I'm really exploring inside the game world, sing R&B on the stage, shower with hot water, sing or playing "my favorite things" and so many other things...
This class really makes me think about myself because I'm the first subject when it comes to studying what makes people fun. In terms of that, this class feels like getting me more and more deep into philosophical matters of life.
I have a book called "14,000 things to be happy about." by Barbara Ann Kipfer. I certainly respect her talent to come up with so many things to make herself happy and write them one by one. I wonder if I could find that many things that make me fun or happy.
