Fifteen Minutes of Scrawl

If you didn't already know, I love The Traitors ! Here are some thoughts on season 4. These thoughts do contain SPOILERS for the entire season. Such a fun season (I do generally think it's more fun when the traitors win) While Rob was a great traitor, he is not more epic than Cirie (IMO) I will also note that while Rob was more of a strategist, Lisa and Candiace pulled off some bold (and hilarious) moves that did work (e.g. the conga line) Alan saying "Yes, I am dressed as a coffin" was ICONIC It should be noted that the trio of traitors lasted longer together than any previous initial trio This could also be easily seen by how many wild loops they threw the traitors through I thought the idea of a "Secret Traitor" was brilliant (I just wish Donna had lasted longer in the game) I think they could've tried the idea again later in the season by not revealing whom Rob had recruited (but, to be fair, Eric's reaction to finding out Rob was a traitor was p...

Okay, I've finally started writing the novel that I did some stream of consciousness posts about ( "Stream of consciousness about a novel idea I have, part 1" ,  "Stream of consciousness about a novel idea I have, part 2" , and  "Stream of consciousness about a novel idea I have, part 3" ). Now, I want to keep it unpublished, but I also want credit for working on it (lol). So, with that in mind, I'll do a post like this when I've worked on it for a bit, and you can shoot me a message if you'd like access to the Google doc. NB: While there will be multiple posts in this vein, I will not link them to each other because the text will remain the same, so linking to part 1 from part 2 (etc.) won't yield any new information.  (Prompt by me) Photo by  Bernd 📷 Dittrich  on  Unsplash

In case you don't know, today is my 34th birthday! Here are 15 thoughts swirling around my brain today (some serious, some not). It's my first birthday without my dad My apartment is too dirty I'm farther from some goals than I was last year I am still extremely fortunate though I have so many grays I, perhaps selfishly, want today to be about me I'm in a funky headspace as I'm writing this post (maybe it's the lack of blue sky) I hope I can shake it off by the time my party starts I feel a little embarrassed about where I am in life at this age I hope Hoban does okay at the party tonight I want everyone to have fun tonight I am looking forward to my Costco birthday cake I might try to work in a nap Nothing is quite hitting the spot so far today (not for lack of trying) I hope I can get my hair to behave tonight (Prompt by me) "My birthday cake" by Wez .  Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 Generic .

Time for a comeback? Aw, Athena is lovely Discord...confidence is great, but yeah the Rusical was NOT your strongest performance Darlene is such a bright light The library is open! Wow Ru, really did have me (and the remaining queens) going It is funny what clips they're picking to remind us of eliminated queens I love that Jane like prayed to Ciara Omg the fabric that Ciara packed is used Ru is poking Well Juicy finally learns where the phrase "The Juice is loose" comes from I'm glad Discord has a sense of humor about herself I love that the queens love Iman I can't wait to see what Iman says about Discord's walk I'm confused as to how production could say "well, that's not how that was intended to be used," cause like...who knows? Kenya remains hilarious Jane...who is Crystal? Crystal is hilarious Ah, apparently "Crystal" is what came to mind when Jane tried to pull Ciara's name It's funny that folks are so amused that Dar...

So while many of us know of big, major, national, and/or religious holidays, there are many obscure ones out there! You can find out about a fair few of these on the National Day website . However, as far as I know, the ones listed below would be new ones that I think could be fun, meaningful, or just wacky to celebrate. US Camel Corps Day to be celebrated on May 14th to commemorate when 34 camels were safely unloaded at Indianola, Texas to become part of the ill-thought out US Camel Corps (one of my favorite Wiki rabbit holes I've ever fallen down) Pig and Potato War Resolution Day to be celebrated on October 21st to commemorate when the so-called Pig and Potato War came to an end (for context, this "war" was actually a confrontation in 1859 between the US and the UK over the British–U.S. border in the San Juan Islands that was triggered by a farmer's pig being shot after eating a different farmer's potatoes) Don't Let Not Being Elected Stop You Day to be ...

Time for some confrontations!  Yes, Natalie, tell Gino you will not suck his toes Omg I would be SO PISSED if a man I told not to get into my bed, got into my bed while I was sleeping Natalie...Gino does not have swag Gino...what you're cooking looks vile Gino, if cooking isn't your forte, just bring drinks to the potluck (or like, order a pizza) I mean, like, there's so much to judge Gino for, but him still talking to other women when he and Natalie are in no way exclusive is not one of them So glad that Nicole got an intro walk I'm a bit confused as to how Pedro can already been in love with Sophie Tony, my dude, Vanja did kiss you before so her saying she'd like to date is not totally out of the blue...also you know what show you signed a filming release for And, again, you're like "Oh, is this because we kissed?" LIKE, YEAH, DUDE! KISSING OFTEN MEANS YOU'RE ROMANTICALLY INTERESTED! You know, Tony, you're judging Vanja about rushing things w...
