First and foremost, the sole purpose of this post is to inspire my other half to fulfill her duties, before we forget some of the mildly ridiculous events that have befallen us. So in true nerd-chic fashion, I am going to lay out a few writing prompts, Taimi, you can pick and choose as you like:
1. Our roommate got punched in the head. Discuss.
2. A group of girls at a party approached us and told us that we were united as women together, and that we must "eat the men". And then we put our hands together in a circle and shouted "girl power!". Compare and contrast to other girls we meet at parties. Also, extrapolate on the psychological ramifications of a riot grrrl power revival. You may use the following as resources: Spice Girls, Susan B. Anthony, Harriet Tubman, Heidi from The Hills, Tegan and Sara.
3. I was mistaken for a Mormon at another party. In rebuttal, I rashly declared: "I am probably about as far as you can get from being Mormon", to which I think someone replied, "Farther than Satan?". I answered "yes, absolutely" and then felt the need to defend my character and insist that "I really am a good person". This became immediately embarrassing to me. Ruminate on instances in which you have had to assert your status as a good, moral, ethical human being to total strangers in completely inappropriate surroundings (e.g. in a public bathroom, around a beer pong table).
4. Why Facebook is evil/glorious, optional subset: is this socially acceptable to post on a wall?
5. Tiki Bar/dead frog Jamaal.
6. Winking at strangers in academic settings/playing footsie with strangers in classrooms and why it is either wildly uncomfortable or slightly wonderful.
7. Theme parties: where do you draw the line? See also #8.
8. Halloween is in the month of October, currently it is the month of October the year of our Lord 2007.
9. Fifty words on the importance of "subverting the dominant paradigm", and then twenty five more on how ridiculous you feel for writing those fifty.
Alright. The beast of burden is upon you. Show me what you are working with.
