Post Prompts I

I googled blog post prompts just for fun and found a website with a whole bunch.  Rather than writing whole posts on some of the topics, I decided to do interview style responses.

  • Write about the first time you broke the law.

  • When I was 4, stole a handful of grass seed from a store. Felt awful but never admitted to it untill way later. They knew I was lying but never prosecuted (is it even possible to prosecute a 4 year old?).  I discarded the evidence onto their lawn as soon as I got out of the store (I guess that was sort of smart).  Why grass seed? Good question. 

  • Your favorite vacation spot or place that you've traveled to.

  • An Island in Malaysia called Redang. Everything about that place looked like those tropical photos you secretly doubt the existence of.  Straight up B-E-A-U-tiful.

  • Write about the passing of a loved one.

  • My Grandma died 2 years ago on the 4th of July (ironic, don't you think?).  For me, the whole experience was like this doorway into deeper things. I really can't completely explain, at least not just with words on a (web) page.

  • Write about coffee cups you have owned.

  • I personally have owned 1 - the kind you can put your own pictures in the side of.  Got it as a graduation present from one of my teachers.

  • Write about how you might feel if you were homeless.

  • A lot more free in some ways, but also a lot less free in others.  For a while though I've been wanting  to try it for a few days sometime (when it's warm out). 

  • Write a mission statement.

  • See About Me

  • Write about the top search engine keywords that bring people to your blog.

  • Probably Wounded with Love. I think people are looking for the song lyrics and chords to an IHOP song and when they search google, my blog comes up.  I can basically tell you every time they sing it in the prayer room because my blog stats spike at the same time.  It almost feels like a deceptive trick to get traffic to your site but I had no idea it would happen when I wrote the post.
  • Discuss a recent home improvement project.

  • Cleaned my room and took down a twilight poster and replaced it with art I got for free (what what!) at a garage sale.

  • Write a photo essay.

  • See Pictures label

  • I'll never...

  • Buy underwear from Goodwill.

  • Ask your readers to take action on an issue you care about.

  • Vote. Not just in elections. In pageviews. In what kind of companies you choose to send your dollar ballot to.
    Be intentional about your life. In ideas that you esteem highly or simply cannot tolerate. In what you feed your body with. In what you feed your mind with. In what you feed your spirit with. In what you tell others, with or without words.

  • Write about what could have happened if you had made that terrible mistake.

  • I could be a huge trainwreck right now. I could not even be here right now. I could not have any of the friends I have. I could not be in a town I like. I could be utterly desolate. I could be somebody else's slave. I could be waay more confused than I am. I could hate my life. But, for the grace of God, there go I.

    Seasons: The Future

    So about the future.  I obviously don't know it so it makes sense that this one might be a little shorter (or longer-it could logically go either way, I just went with shorter). There are litterally (at least) a hundred different ways it could go. After the internship I'm doing, I might stay on there. Or I might come back here. If I come back here I could work, go away to college, take classes from home, live with my parents, move out with some friends, get some kind of certification and work a more specific job, come back to the office job I have now, etc. Or I could move to CA and live with some family and find a job with some distant cousins. Or I could move to some other random state and adventure there. The list of possibilities goes on and on. What sounds best to me right now is to do one of the aforementioned options that have to do with moving back here but we really will see won't we.

    Thankful Thursday: Sweet heart hurts.

    I was going to say "Happy Thursday to you!"  And if you're having a happy Thursday, good for you.  In the sense of wishing someone a happy day I suppose I do wish you that.  However,  I do not mean that I feel happy on this Thursday. So maybe more like "Thoughtful and introspective Thursday!" Doesn't sound as nice as "Happy Thursday" but that's okay. I'm not particularly happy on this Thursday and for fear of tempting you to judge whether or not my reason for not being happy is legitimate or not (some people feel like they have that position, you know) I won't go into the details of why. I will say that I miss somebody today.  More than just one; I miss him and his whole family. Without going into more detail on that, I'll tell you that my heart hurts today.  The why is irrelevant for the sake of what I'm trying to say; but it does hurt. There are at least two kinds of heart hurts I think: ( There is good news though beca...

    We Meet Again

    Well, to say that it feels weird to be here again is an understatement. This is a little emotional for me and I'll try to explain why. Firstly, it's been a while since the last time I wrote here. When I typed the address into the search bar, I was actually surprised that a 404 page didn't show up and that, instead, I saw a familiar title and design come up on the screen. There it was - my own writing, published on a web page I undoubtedly spent hours adjusting and tweaking until it was just right, down to the blue and green squares I painted  by hand, scanned into a computer and digitized the old fashioned way with....wait for it.....*Microsoft Paint*.  Illustrator? Pshht. Who needs that when you've got the grandmother of graphic design tools for FREE on your receptionist job work computer? (sarcasm, of course. Adobe, baby, I love you.) But even the details and designs of this page speak to the reason why this is emotional for me. All of the things about this blog that ...
