ooookay, and I have zero magical talent. That crosses magic off my list of talent things. I sat there on the floor reading magic books and saying ridiculous things to try to turn on a light bulb and nothing happened except me feeling stupid and possibly again confusing the books.

	~~I think I would have enjoyed watching that.~~ Still trying to find a hobby? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Uh huh. Plot twist, it's not magic. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, it could be worse. You could have had magical talent and ended up making all the light bulbs in the building explode. What else have you tried so far? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	At least it wouldn't have put me to sleep. Magic, dancing, jump rope, jacks, painting (it did not go well ~~Elsa's favorite sweater can testify~~), guitar. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You do not know how tempted I am to introduce you to boxing. I might get yelled at for it not being a ladylike hobby to get you into but I think you could enjoy it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alwaysinthesun 2014-07-16 07:22 am UTC (link)
	I don't know what that is bu why not? I don't have much else to do here in this world. No princess stuff anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Boxing is where you put on very thick gloves and punch things. You start with hand held targets, then punching bags, then people. I more or less stopped at the punching bag stage because I'm not really in the mood to punch people ~~any more~~. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alwaysinthesun 2014-07-16 07:32 am UTC (link)
	You punch people and its okay? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	captcasanova 2014-07-16 07:35 am UTC (link)
	Yes, at least in boxing. And mixed martial arts too, I guess, but I stay away from that because people can get seriously hurt doing that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alwaysinthesun 2014-07-16 07:41 am UTC (link)
	Hmmm. Show me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	captcasanova 2014-07-16 07:46 am UTC (link)
	Sure. I've got my self defense class Wednesday night, but Thursday I could do it. I get off work at five, if you want to meet me at the Center. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alwaysinthesun 2014-07-16 07:47 am UTC (link)
	Okay. Daddy taught me self defense already, but I don't remember him ever mentioning boxing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	captcasanova 2014-07-16 07:55 am UTC (link)
	Wear comfortable clothing. I'd recommend shorts that aren't too tight but aren't super loose either, and probably a tank top that isn't loose. And maybe you can bring a change of clothes and some stuff to take a shower with. Boxing gets you sweaty and I'd like to take you out to dinner afterward. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alwaysinthesun 2014-07-17 12:04 am UTC (link)
	Okay, I'll meet you then. That sounds good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	captcasanova 2014-07-17 12:10 am UTC (link)
	Then I'll see you Thursday. (Reply to this) (Parent)

You were very lucky that you were not killed.

Reading spells aloud without knowing for certain what you are doing can be dangerous. It is also entirely possible to have magical ability and not be able to "cold-read" something directly from a book. The foundational concepts must be in place in many instances.

If you wish to explore magic, it would be best done with some guidance.

	And in my land it can be taught. But as Loki has said, the words itself do not form magic in a person. For that you need a teacher. Perhaps you should stay away from the magical texts in future. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alwaysinthesun 2014-07-16 07:19 pm UTC (link)
	I don't know if I want to do magic. It seems like a lot of work. Okay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notpureofheart 2014-07-17 02:51 pm UTC (link)
	Darling do you think there's a hobby out there for you that won't require effort. If you wish to be good at something, you work at it, and if you have no wish to be good at it then what is the point. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alwaysinthesun 2014-07-17 05:00 pm UTC (link)
	I was kinda hoping yeah. I thought that's what hobby's were, just stuff that you're good at (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notpureofheart 2014-07-17 11:53 pm UTC (link)
	No such thing exists. No, that's a talent. A hobby is something you enjoy. You can learn and gain skill at it but it will not be right away (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alwaysinthesun 2014-07-17 11:54 pm UTC (link)
	Oh. Which is the better thing to have? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notpureofheart 2014-07-18 09:48 am UTC (link)
	I don't see that there is a better or worse. I believe everyone to have a talent of some kind. It might just not be so obvious at first. A hobby is something you feel you would enjoy. You don't do it for any other reason than that. Why is this so vital? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alwaysinthesun 2014-07-18 04:04 pm UTC (link)
	Oh. I just..never had either. I want something that's mine. I don't really have a thing. Everyone around me either is magical or talented in some way, I'm just..me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	notpureofheart 2014-07-22 10:10 am UTC (link)
	I don't believe that. Ultimately though, you need to put effort in, work for what you want, be willing to do that and you'll get there (Reply to this) (Parent)

	alwaysinthesun 2014-07-16 07:19 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sorry, I was just trying to find a talent. I wasn't trying to do that. They looked like harmless ones. I wasn't reading anything that looked like 'weird ritual things' or whatever. I don't think magic is for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	subtletrick 2014-07-16 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	It is all right; I am simply glad you were not harmed. I did not mean to seem as though I were lecturing. Even harmless spells channel power. But I am glad you did at least take that precaution. There is nothing wrong with that. It is not for everyone. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alwaysinthesun 2014-07-17 12:01 am UTC (link)
	You did get kinda lecture-face, but it's okay. It was probably stupid to try. Anything that said demon or dark thing I basically went nope and put it away. It seemed cool. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	stormrageon 2014-07-16 12:05 pm UTC (link)
	~~Probably for the best~~ Dance. You should try dance. It seems something you'd be good at (Reply to this) (Thread)

	alwaysinthesun 2014-07-16 07:21 pm UTC (link)
	I tried the street version the other day, but I kept tripping on my own feet. I liked the music though. And James says there's a thing where you can punch people and it's okay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stormrageon 2014-07-16 10:37 pm UTC (link)
	That's hardly what I was thinking. You are a princess, not some street dancer. ...or there's that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	alwaysinthesun 2014-07-17 12:03 am UTC (link)
	I know, but I liked the idea. They kinda looked like gypsies. Maybe. I also kinda sorta wrecked your blue sweater thing the other day. Sorry? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stormrageon 2014-07-17 01:51 am UTC (link)
	You WHAT?! Anna, I love that sweater! (Reply to this) (Parent)
