I Had A Sweet Title, But I Forgot What It Was

HEY LADIES!

AND GENTS!

AND GENDER-NEUTRAL PROTOPLASM!

So, I complete my previous challenge.  Now I need a new one.

I should probably set up some guidelines for this, so here we go.  (P.S. Trying to write this at work, but the phones are OFF DA HOOOOOK today.  Christ.  If I get one more phone call UGH ANOTHER PHONE CALL.  Good thing I didn’t finish that threat in time.)

Challenge Guidelines 

Right now, I’m looking for challenges that can reasonably be completed in a week.  (7 days, start to finish.)

What kind of things can be a challenge?  I’M GLAD YOU ASKED!

My previous (and only) challenge was a writing challenge: Write down one thing per day that you didn’t do five years ago.  Obvs, this was totally doable because I’m a blogomaniac.  However, challenges are not limited to the written word.  The only questions I want you to ask yourself before proposing a challenge are:

- Is it legal?

- Can it be accomplished in Seattle?

- Does it cost a shitload of money?  (I don’t know if you knew this, but I am poor as shit, guys.)

- Does it put me at risk for severe bodily harm? (Definition of severe: Bad enough to limit my ability to work the next day.  Bruises, papercuts, and pulled muscles are acceptable.  Just take into account that I’m on my feet all day and move a lot of heavy objects.)

Also remember that I have a full-time job, so if it needs to be done during banker hours, I’ll have to do some planning ahead.  Like, a month to request time off.  (Will you really request time off to do a stupid Internet challenge?  Maybe, but only if it’s SUPER AWESOME.)

Aaaand… That’s about it right now?  Some example challenges I am pulling directly out of my anus right now:

Ex. #1: Learn to hula hoop!  (A hula hoop costs money, but only like ten bucks, so no big deal.)
Ex. #2: Form an opinion on a current political issue!
Ex. #3: Ask seven strangers a weird question and dictate their responses!
Ex. #4: Write a song about hippos!
Ex. #5: Wear a silly hat!  Okay, these are getting worse.  THIS IS WHY I NEED YOUR HELP, GUYS.

Okay!  That’s it.  Go nuts. When I’ve either completed or failed a challenge, I will (A) write about it, (B) do a vlog about it, or (C) take pictures/videos AND blog about it.

I’m sure I’ll refine this as I begin to fail challenges all willy nilly, but we’ve got to start somewhere.

What if you get more than one challenge?  Good question!  This hasn’t been an issue yet, but I’ll let you know how I plan on dealing with that.  Maybe I’ll start a backlog of challenges?  Maybe I’ll only pick the awesome ones?  Maybe I’ll FLIP A COIN?!

Perhaps if I ever have more than 4 people reading this, I’ll have y’all vote or something.  I don’t know.  I’m just fucking around with this right now, so bear with me.

THAT’S ALL, FOLKS.

    Write some fiction, dawg!

    Y’know, “Show us your tits!” meets these guidelines. You should either broaden these guidelines retro-actively, or show us your tits.

    Also, blog or vlog about at least three of your favorite places to eat in Seattle and what you like to get there.

    Also, blog or vlog about the worst date you’ve ever had.

      I guess I should do one that’s not blog-related, on second thought. So here: learn to juggle with three balls for at least a minute without dropping one. You’d be surprised by how easy this actually is.

    THAT IS A LOT OF CHALLENGES, THEO.

    I’m on it. Sort of.

    Same to you, Rose. Even though that one made me go, “Ugggghhhh, I thought this Challenge Thing was going to be easy?”

    I love writing fiction, mind you. I just also hate writing fiction.
