fun revisited

I read a lot of on-line news stuff for fun. I blog for fun. I make my website better (and sometimes worse) for fun. I like to messs with stuff for fun. I challenge people for fun (and because I think that questioning our beliefs is a good way to be better people -- even if we question and reaffirm), but it's also fun in a sometimes bewildering uncomfortable way. I put myself in uncomfortable positions for fun -- I suppose that's kind of weird, but I enjoy testing myself that way to see if I can adapt or overcome the discomfort; and I'm not talking about physical pain (although a good workout hurts and then feels good), but social situations, emotional situations, etc. Of course, there are still situations I avoid because of discomfort. I guess I feel that avoidance of something sometimes leads to insularism, which in turn sometimes leads to intolerance. I also like to hang with friends for fun, although I feel like I get more out of it than "fun" -- friends tend to support me as much as I support them, and sometimes it's not really fun, but I still like to do it. I play with my dog for fun (and out of a sense of love and the obligation of responsibility).

So, do I have an integrated sense of fun, or just a narrow definition?

dunno.
