I love going to the gym. To be honest I can get kinda cranky if I do not get to go and I like feeling good about myself and my health. I play video games but I hate watching TV. Sounds strange right? But I enjoy engaging with content. Also with multiplayer games and I can stay in touch with friends that are not living close to me. I have met some very awesome people online from different corners of the world and they really open your eyes to what happens in different countries. Some of the best friends I have ever had. Some I have never even seen their faces.
