What do you do X 2

I randomly started talking to a lady while out and about recently. As we waited for time to pass we struck up a typical conversation; she asked: What do you do...Where are you from...What do you do? 

Now this first- what do you do is how I think the mid 20s to early 30s age group communicates. What do you do as in your job or career. Responses tell you a lot about a person as some lead with the organization or company they work for while others lean towards sharing their title; still some others utilize this moment to highlight the sector of employment or define what they do daily.  And of course you have the talker who verbally checks all these boxes without skipping a beat.  For me it depends on the setting as my career is "heavy"; I usually just say I work with kids or at a local child advocacy center.  I've learned stating in a forensic interviewer lends to lots of questions and although I love my job I don't love commanding the conversation by talking so in-depth about myself.

And clearly where are you from...is where are you from. However for me this question prompts follow up questions for clarity. Do you mean where I was born or lived the most or even where I lived the longest. As a military brat I never know what location is best suited so I tend to say I'm a military brat and await follow up questions. Again I love my background, my mom my hero, but I don't love taking over the conversation.

Now this second- What do you do is literally in reference to what you do- when you're not at work; so what do you do for fun?! It's interesting because so seldom do I get to this part of the conversation; but when I do i'm always stomped. To be quite honest- I have no idea what I do. I mean I work and sometimes feel like outside of my career and completing required needs to survive- like sleeping,  eating, and maintaining my apartment through chores and budgeting....what is there consistently time for doing anything extra?! 

So I've taken it upon myself to do more fun things. I used to literally live for the weekends but i'm turning over a new leaf. I'm watching crappy tv during the week, blogging and reading more, and of course being more social with friends, family, and networks! 

What do you do- for fun? For those of you who know without a doubt what you do- when's the last time you did something out of the ordinary? For those of you who have to brainstorm before answering...try being spontaneous! It's hard I know but oh so rewarding! Don't worry I'm not here with judgement but rather in the trench between both book ends- so I'm challenging myself too. Challenging myself to get out and talk more as well as do more. #letsgetit
