What was the most embarrassing hobby you've ever had?
Submitted by Billie Fable.
Oh God. I don't think Vox's servers are large enough for me to go into detail about all my embarassing hobbies.
See, in my youth, I was quick to jump on the bandwagon with whatever was trendy or of-the-moment. Whatever it was, I was into it. I wasn't a conformist. I just enjoy being in the midst of a good frenzy.
Probably the most puzzling, embarassing and time-consuming hobby I had was collecting erasers.
Yes. Erasers.
I don't know if this hobby was happening on the mainland, but it was a HUGE deal in Hawaii. Little erasers shaped like everything under the sun....horses, dinosaurs, food, flowers, sushi, palm trees, Hello Kitty characters, etc. Everything about them appealed to me - they were tiny, colorful, cute and dirt cheap enough that my parents would never say no when I asked for more.
The hobby was huge amongst girls in my 4th grade class. We would carry our precious collections around in see-through Sanrio pencil boxes. Lunch periods would be spent painstakingly organizing our pristine erasers in a manner that might have hinted towards the early stages of OCD. We NEVER used those erasers to erase anything. They never even came close to pencil lead. Erasing was a job for Pink Pearl - not my adorable clown head eraser.
The fad kind of died down during the end of the school year. Slap bracelets and an impromptu hoola hoop resurgance tore us away from our miniature rubber trophies. When I moved back to the mainland, my new friends thought my erasers were cute, but strange to collect.
To the best of my knowledge, my collection is still somewhere in my parent's basement. I believe it did survive one of the great Dad-was-bored-on-a-Saturday-afternoon purges. It was an impressive collection that I bet even my dad could respect.
