“Your Favorite Holiday”
I really can’t say I have a particularly favorite holiday out of all of them. I can’t really remember any specific event that made a holiday uber-great and the times I do remember…weren’t all that great. So, I’ve decided to make a new holiday. The holiday will celebrate the desire to do something out of the ordinary. People would do things that you wouldn’t normally do in everyday life. Kind of like a day of liberation and just being there for the sake of…being there. I personally would like to call this new, strange, not-so-normal, holiday S.H.I.N.Y (of course). Stupendously-Happy-Inverted-New-daY. I call this because it is meant to be a day of joy and even if it includes being completely out of the normal. ‘New’ because, well, there is always to be something new happening, none of the same old routine stuff that no one cares about anyway. Also, when you say “S.H.I.N.Y.” you cover the whole ‘happy’ and ‘day’ at the beginning and end of the holiday’s name. Now, to have some kind of organization, you would have to wear shiny stuff of course! Even if this requires whipping out the roll of aluminum foil and wrapping it around every appendage of oneself (some appendages not suggested). A goal of S.H.I.N.Y would be…*sigh*…non-impairment if you will…as that’s just sad if you need to do that be just a little happy. Go and do anything worth something that you can look back and tell your children (or the children depending on what and how you did) and they’re all looking up at you like you’re the greatest, stupidest, craziest, bestest, role model they ever had looked upon with their little eyes. Now that…that would be my favorite holiday.
>> I obtained this prompt from Mocoy after realizing that there was going to be no way I was going to finish the other one I was sent from Giggles. Sorry, please don’t hurt me, be glad I updated at all. I also figured this to be more appropriate with Halloween, then Thanksgiving, then Christmas, and well…it goes for awhile. Though, I don’t have a date for S.H.I.N.Y., and I’m too lazy to think of one, so you come up with one and give a good reason why and you’ll get the recognition and satisfaction that you were the one who came up with the date for a new holiday. Have fun.

Oblivion Would Be Bliss, Bliss Would Be Hard To Grasp
“Stranded In A Bookstore For 24 Hours, Pick A Section And Why?”
If I were somehow stranded in a bookstore by “accident,” I would stay in sci-fi section or the music section. I would stay in the science fiction because I’m a loser like that. It holds a world far away that involves the imagination and some thought. I don’t think I could stand a romance novel because it would be worse than a soap opera because I would have to read it and have put effort into something so horrible. Mystery would annoy the piss out of me, “There can only be one conclusion!” Of course there can only be one conclusion! If there were two then it would have no solution and the mystery wouldn’t be solved. Straight up non-fiction can just get boring and even worse is its ugly half-cousin; historical fiction, it’s like a poor attempt to teach you something about history in an interesting manner. It doesn’t work that way; I’d rather hear…read…how something actually happened. Science fiction is fun because you can have the craziest random crap happen but still have a crackpot theory that makes it amazingly work because the author said so. Now, if I ever get bored I could slide on over to the music section and just be a bum sifting through music. I could also find some music of my preference and have the packaging mysteriously come off and leave with it when my hours have passed…not that I condone such. Then again, I just might build a big fort out of all the books I could find and declare war on the movie store. They won’t see it coming.
>> What section would you stay in? This was given to myself by Giggles a while ago, she gave me a lot of stuff; I still have two more from her. I feel obligated to give her something for her own writing…and because I told her I would. Unfortunately, I have nothing of that would probably challenge her. Wait! *Runs to get idea* what is the most profound thing you have learned in the past year? Life? And why?
