Fifteen Minutes of Scrawl

Time for talking about issues with alleged loved ones with others.  Yeah, Edward, I'd be upset if Marissa called me a child too Marissa, Edward is trying Marissa, maybe get Edward warmer clothes so he can adjust to the different climate? Marissa, if you want your fence to be professionally fixed, hire a professional CATIE! YOU THINK  YOU'RE GONNA MARRY JOSH?! HE MOVED HERE FOR YOU Ryan, you CAN say no to Catie though Catie, I'm like genuinely concerned for you Rasit and Mallorie can make cleaning compromises I think Mallorie, tbh, you could've warned Rasit Holy shit! Seeing the car crash is ROUGH Oof, I'm so sorry Rasit couldn't be with you during that time Aw Rasit and Mallorie really do love each other Ashia, I think Maxwell knows better how to dress in his home country than you do Ashia, altering Maxwell's appearance is not "making him a better person" Ashia, yes, Maxwell's mom is mad at you because even though Maxwell has told you how to re...

I closed on a condo on Friday! Here are 15 things I like about it. It has 2 bedrooms and 2 baths It has a bathtub It has a dishwasher It has a gas fireplace It has a small patio It has a washer and dryer It has central AC It has hardwood floors It is close to friends, restaurants, and a grocery store It is on the first floor It is part of a courtyard building It is part of a dog-friendly building Its appliances are all fairly new (including a thermostat installed this year) Per my inspector, there are no hazards (only some minor things that need to be fixed) While it doesn't have parking, it is near a lot you can rent by the month (Prompt by me) Photo by Jakub Żerdzicki on Unsplash

Time for bracket 3, episode 3!  Sam is right that everyone did well I do think Joey could've been in the top last episode Wow Sam is strategic Wow Shuga really gave Sam her point Wait, Ru, is THIS show not your dream job? I do think this is a fun challenge idea that is a great twist on previous challenges Kennedy's Ru laugh is CRAZY good Huh I do feel like this challenge would be tough to judge since I doubt it would've been edited together like this Shuga's performance is mostly making me cringe a bit Sam's Ru wig is impressive Sam's performance was better than Shuga's, but I assumed the material the show was giving these queens would be more dynamic Hershii in the glasses made me smile Jasmine did well! Kennedy is GOING for it and I love it So why was Joey sitting when she was being Ru introducing the guest (literally everyone else was standing)? Joey did okay "She's always worn her lips on her sleeve," is an excellent quote, Sam Shuga...you ...

I have been shopping for a condo for a while, but I am SO CLOSE to closing on a unit (should be closing today!). If it works out, here are some things I might want to get for it.  Alligator and/or anglerfish wallpaper More anglerfish décor (I'm thinking of having an anglerfish-themed bathroom) Murphy bed Fireplace screen Deck chairs Deck side table Bench with storage Wine rack Air mattress Bath body pillow Coffee table with a lift top Decorative pillows and/or pillowcases Fun storage for my board games High quality towel sets Lights for the patio rails (Prompt by me) Photo by Joseph Pérez on Unsplash

Time to keep getting sexy? Patrick, as long as you take no for an answer... I do love how into Jenny Sumit is Seems like Kara and Guillermo are compatible in one way... Sarper can only be satisfied with missionary? Lol the therapist doesn't know Sarper's number of sex partners I do appreciate Rebecca saying she doesn't believe Sarper Wow Sarper is quite particular WOW! RUSS! YOU SAID THAT OUT LOUD AND ON CAMERA! Patrick, if you get aroused during this exercise, I think everyone would get it WOW I DO NOT NEED TO BE HERE FOR JENNY AND SUMIT'S ANIMALISTIC MAKEOUT It's weird watching Patrick and Thais be this intimate in general, but especially because they're going through a ROUGH (and possibly violent) divorce now Wow Kara is crying so fast So it is possible that there was more of that meditation than we saw, but how it's edited (at least) makes it feel SO SHORT I also thought Sarper said "call girl" Nico is a super cute kid This montage of Sarper le...

I present 15 truth questions one could ask in a game of "Truth or Dare?" What is something sexual that you haven't tried, but are curious to try? If you were going to do sexy roleplay, what scenario would you want to do? If your partner was into it, would you suck their toes? If you had money that could be only allocated for a whimsically shaped cake, what shape would you ask for? If you'd be safe no matter what, what's a natural phenomenon would you want to see? You have to get a sizable tramp stamp. What is it? You have to get something pierced that isn't an ear. What do you pierce? What job would you find the sexiest for a partner to have? If you were guaranteed a stable income and good benefits, what job would you have? If you could travel anywhere in the world, all expense paid and all logistics managed, where would you go? Who is your current #1 celebrity crush? Who was your first celebrity crush? If you could snap your fingers, what style of dance would...

For those unfamiliar with Dropout TV , it's a comedy subscription streaming service run by the production company that was formerly CollegeHumor. One of their series is Game Changer which is described as a game show where the game changes every show. Game Changer  has been so successful that Dropout launched a Kickstarter for a board game version "Game Changer: Home Edition" . As part of the campaign, Dropout dropped challenges for us backers to participate in. Challenge 309 read, in part, "we need at least 300 PLAYERS to help us bring one of literature’s most classic pairings into the modern age, by writing some missed-connection style PERSONAL ADS, as if they’re from either Sherlock Holmes or Watson, to the other. There are no rules in love, players, but there are rules in this game… so we’ll also award a BONUS POINT for every 50 players who repost their Missed Connection ad on Craigslist (or any other Missed Connection forum) and send us the links to their posts ...

If you're unfamiliar, "Would You Rather?" is a game where one person gives two optional scenarios and another must say which they would rather do. Often, the choice is between two icky options. Here are some more creative and lighthearted options I've come up with. Be able to change your hair color at will or change your nail color at will Get a tattoo by spinning a wheel of options all drawn by a close friend (who wasn't allowed to consult you) or by spinning a wheel of options drawn by your favorite artist (who wasn't allowed to consult you or your loved ones) Gift your least problematic ex a bottle of Malört (they will know it's from you) or take three shots of Malört Text only "I can't stop thinking about you" to your prom date (or, if you didn't have a prom date, your first date) or cold call a strip joint asking about job applications for your closest adult female relative using her real name Read aloud to a friend the entirety of a...

Time to get messy. Edward, I agree that Marissa seeing her parents is IDEALLY just casual, but given Marissa's stress level, like make an educated guess that things are tense with her parents BOB LOOKS SO UNCOMFORTABLE Ho boy, I can tell that like every little thing is FRAUGHT WITH MEANING for this family So, Debby's friends, I will say that many Muslim men do not speak to women like Mido speaks to Debby Also, am I remembering correctly that Debby was her friends' ride home? Wait, did Debby pick Mido up (most people don't sit in a ride share's front seat)? HI, LITTLE BIT! Hrm, seems like Debby didn't pick Mido up, but Mido did come back to their apartment Did Debby only say Mido had cheated because he took photos with other women? Like it is odd that he wouldn't post with her if he'd post with other women, but it doesn't mean he had sex with these other women Anabelle, do you really believe Shea? Shea, why did you make that sound? Shea, how long has ...

If you're unfamiliar, FMK is short for "Fuck, Marry, Kill" which is a game where one person lists a trio of (usually) names to another and asks which action they'd do to which person. However, you can expand this idea beyond trios of real people or even fictional characters. Here are some creative trios I've come up with (some of which are trios of fictional characters). If you'd like to know my first 15 ideas, please read my "15 creative FMK trios" post .

Time for bracket 3, episode 2! Point drama? Hershii has a good point that it doesn't make sense for queens in the top to be mad about being in the top I do enjoy this challenge This episode begs the question, "Are farts part of body odor?" Lol we're doing a rapping roast Aw, Hershii Joey's roast was AWESOME (plus she looked stunning) Jasmine was also SO GOOD (and also looked incredible) Lol kicking the chocolate bar got me Kennedy also did really well and looked great doing it Hershii's outfit is my favorite and her roast was also good Shuga's roast was good, but it didn't blow me away like others (that said, I do like her look) I am impressed that Sam's roast included a nod to irrigation, but other than that it wasn't my favorite (her look, while executed well, is also not my jam) Joey looks beautiful Jasmine looks exquisite, but my favorite part is actually her wig I love the movement and light of Kennedy's look Hershii's look actuall...

Time to get sexy?  So, yeah, maybe Kara's son won't like that Kara posed nude when he grows up, but hopefully he can understand that she was doing all she could to provide for him Oop Sarper has seen Kara's nude pics I can appreciate that the therapists are just making TV, but how can this one not see that Kara and Guillermo just shouldn't be together I do understand Patrick's overall point about gender standards, but if Russ hasn't even been trying to get a job for years, I'd be frustrated too Patrick, you try to make a lot of money specifically so Thais's butt won't be on the internet? I do love Sarper just snagging a ton of treats at the end of this "etiquette" dinner Jenny and Sumit are funny Uh, Guillermo, you don't get to say that Kara wasn't hurt by your words Guillermo getting his own room is a good idea God, Dr. Tyrone is so attractive Shekinah is attracted to John Travolta now? Sumit has had a thing for older women always ...

Time to get into fights!  Josh, I will say that cold pizza for breakfast is a thing, but I don't think anyone thinks of it as "proper" breakfast food Catie, you did tell Josh that things would be ready when he arrived Catie! You don't trust Josh about money?! Also, Catie, does Josh have the money to spend $400 on sunglasses? Catie, you are being rude AF So, I think Rasit is trying, but he may be saying some rough stuff (I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt with his English) That said, Brandon is being a dick Mido...you do have to help SOMEWHAT  Yeah, Mido, in Egypt I bet the men also financially provide Also, Mido, if you're a big movie star in Egypt, why do you need an acting coach? Mido, you're not even pretending to be here for Debby Oof it's uncomfy to watch amateur actors Mido, why do you do an acting class if you don't want to do group exercises? Mido, if you're a BIG Egyptian movie star, why did you have to have other jobs? I often wo...

One of their series is Game Changer which is described as a game show where the game changes every show. So, here are 15 ideas for Game Changer  that could be for a main game or one of their minigame interludes (that I don't believe have been done before)!  Triplayer Maze (main): loosely inspired by a hedge maze in a popular middle-grade/YA fantasy series by a hateful author, players would have to make their way through a hedge maze while facing various creepy obstacles and puzzles with one chance to send up a flare to bail out Who's Your Daddy? (mini): players will look at photoshopped images of what a baby with two different cast members as their parents would look like and then must guess who the cast members are Can I have a Clue, Though? (main): in a themed scavenger hunt, players would have to remember various Game Changer ...

Time for bracket 3, episode 1! Shuga looks HOT and I remember loving her from her season I do like Sam, but TBH what stood out most to me about her was her mom (she looks good though) Hershii looks great, but I honestly don't remember her too well (ah, she was the Porkchop) I'm so happy to see Jasmine back and truly feeling herself I remember liking Joey, but it could be because I thought he was just so cute DELIGHTED to have Kennedy back (and she looks INCREDIBLE) The alliances are brewing Unconventional materials design challenge! Joey just out here encouraging creepy DMs Jasmine, sorry, but demure tends not to be a winning quality for RPDR Kennedy looks pretty sexy Shuga looks just adorable (and I love her stoned tights) Hershii is greatly improved from her first design challenge, but yeah maybe she should've done something with her knee pads (that said, she looks great) Joey's makeup somehow reminds me of Jimbo? Joey's outfit is good, but it's not the most m...

The show has three rounds, plus a minigame before each round. One of those mingames is "A Challenger Appears" where one player starts ranting about a particular topic, (e.g. "Developing your taste in music"), but the other players can then interrupt the first on the fly by buzzing in and saying "challenge", letting them take a new approach to the topic that is in disagreement with the player who began the rant. This interrupting has no limits and whoever is speaking when exactly three minutes have passed is declared the winner. Anyways...

Not sure what we're in for with this episode as the previous episode ended with a season preview instead of an episode preview.  Oof, Sumit, I generally like ya, but investing $50,000 without telling her is kinda wild That said, I do think Jenny has some pretty angry outbursts Wait, Kara's dad was 64 when she was born? Oof Rebecca and Zied are super disconnected Shekinah, in all fairness, who asked you? Hrmmm I can see why Guillermo would be concerned Kara, if boundaries while you were separated were unclear, you can't be upset that Guillermo was maybe seeing other ladies Oof Kara doesn't know if she's in love with Guillermo Kara, Guillermo wants to know if who you slept with is someone he knows But, to be fair, Guillermo, you also said you slept with someone else Oof the tensions between the couples is wild Patrick, it's fair that therapy can be a lot, but you did super sign up for this Also, Sarper craves boy time Sarper, you men don't need a union Sarper....

Time for some qualms! Marissa, learn more Spanish Marissa, you don't have to start with scolding as an approach to Edward Gotta love that Edward is doing the reveal while the cameras are here Mallorie's friend is vaguely threatening Rasit I think Mallorie and Rasit can compromise on the dogs just not living in the bedroom Ho boy, Mallorie and Rasit have some things to talk about Hey, Briana, it's a bit late to air your concerns about does Ashia even know Maxwell "How can you overcome fraud?" could be the tagline of this whole franchise Catie...you need to talk about your drinking issues with a professional...like I'm legit concerned for you Ugh I hate how Marissa and Edward are using the word "leche" So I get that this apartment may not be Josh and Catie's dream apartment, but everything could've been so much worse and this place even has in unit laundry Josh's logic about what a twin mattress would mean is fair Catie and Josh should get ...

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.  Photo by Bernd 📷 Dittrich on Unsplash

Time for bracket 2, episode 3!  Oh, Salina...you should've won this past challenge Oop Aura is giving Vivacious her point I want Salina to be happy Vivacious, Salina, and Silky are my favorites in this slap challenge Silky wins which is pretty fair Makeover challenge! Huh, Silky takes a challenge Uh oh, Crystal's daddy wants a different drag journey Vivacious continues to be hilarious These daddies are pretty funny Ugh I hate that the "Don't Say Gay" bill is a thing I like Ru's purple dress, but I think it's Ru's attempt at Shuga Cain's epic purple dress (and it just falls short) I like Silky and her daddy's looks Aura and Whora look great Salina and Titi look SO alike (and the outfits are pretty and fun) Crystal and her daddy's looks are wild and it's tough for me to tell if they look alike because my eyes don't know where to settle (which may be a strategy?)
