I also enjoy thumbing through a good, old thesaurus, and before I had kids, could spend hours reading the phone book (and though my husband might say that as a metaphor, I mean, actually. reading. the phone book.)

They're just little bits and have no pressure on them to actually make sense in a book, so they are just plain fun.<br /><br />Also? Fiddling with my mechanical pencil.
