Rite of Passion: Kickball: CRaMit
http://riteofpassion.blogspot.com/2010/11/kickball-cramit_24.html
A chronicle of my trial-and-error quest to find things I genuinely love to do. Wednesday, November 24, 2010. For the past several years, I've been bugging my friends to start a kickball team with me. My theory was that it's one of those "sports" that anyone can play because everyone looks stupid playing it - I mean, big, wobbly rubber ball and all. But I've never gotten any serious takers, so I'd given up the dream. But with every third out, I was overcome with dread. So is kickball my passion? View my c...

Rite of Passion: What's a girl to DO?
http://riteofpassion.blogspot.com/2010/11/whats-girl-to-do.html
A chronicle of my trial-and-error quest to find things I genuinely love to do. Monday, November 1, 2010. What's a girl to DO? Recently, someone sitting next to me at happy hour asked me what I do. When I fired off my standard, abridged version of how I spend my 9-5 hours, he said, “No, I mean, what do you. Like, if you got a day off unexpectedly, what’s the first thing you’d go do? What kinds of things do I look forward to? What am I passionate about? Are these the things that define me? To find out the ...

Rite of Passion: Thai foot massage: Don't mind the punching
http://riteofpassion.blogspot.com/2010/11/thai-foot-massage-dont-mind-punching.html
A chronicle of my trial-and-error quest to find things I genuinely love to do. Tuesday, November 2, 2010. Thai foot massage: Don't mind the punching. By chance, just a few days after I decided to begin this quest of mine, a friend texted me asking if I was up for a Sunday afternoon Thai foot massage. The only question I had was "What time? Here's the message I got back: "I'll pick you up at noon. Wear loose clothes.". Then I had another question: "Do you want to get a drink after? I guess I had pictured ...

Rite of Passion: Tap dancing: Fah-lap ball rad
http://riteofpassion.blogspot.com/2011/05/tap-dancing-fah-lap-ball-rad.html
A chronicle of my trial-and-error quest to find things I genuinely love to do. Wednesday, May 11, 2011. Tap dancing: Fah-lap ball rad. Earlier this year I got motivated to give it another try. So I enrolled in the 18 adult beginner class. Knowing what I know now, I can translate that to: 18 40 adult-who-takes-the-class-repeatedly beginner class. Nevertheless, I walked into the first class dressed for a workout and ready to get to fah-lappin. As I put on my shoes, I scanned the room to find that:. Four mo...

Rite of Passion: Speed dating: 7 minutes can be 6 and a half minutes too long
http://riteofpassion.blogspot.com/2010/11/speed-dating-7-minutes-can-be-6-and.html
A chronicle of my trial-and-error quest to find things I genuinely love to do. Monday, November 29, 2010. Speed dating: 7 minutes can be 6 and a half minutes too long. While my friends scanned the room to prepare themselves for the 35 minutes ahead, I opted to look away, sip my wine, and wonder (mostly to keep from getting. Look on my face). But as they mumbled commentary like "Oh boy" and "I hope he's not here for this," I settled in for exactly what I had expected. So is speed dating my passion? Nah I ...

Rite of Passion: December 2010
http://riteofpassion.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
A chronicle of my trial-and-error quest to find things I genuinely love to do. Saturday, December 18, 2010. Baking: The stars are falling. Ok, so baking is not a first-time activity for me. But to be fair, it's been so long since anything I've "cooked" has required more than an index figure (for pushing buttons) and 1.5-2 minutes of staring, that I'm counting this as a new exploration. First: Mix all ingredients. A monkey could do this, so I got through it fairly easily. Although, admittedly, it ...Then ...
