20 Minutes of Babble
Blame Judey

This is my attempt at an unofficial challenge shared by Judey Kalchick to write 100 thoughts in 20 minutes. I cannot guarantee that I will succeed, but I will give it my best Holmes effort.
Here is Judey's version:
- Let's go!
- How can I have 100 thoughts in 20 minutes when I have less than 100 brain cells?
- Does one thought equal one brain cell, or can I get a 2 for 1?
- Am I going off the rails already?
- Why do cats have teeth?
- Cats would be easier to deal with if they didn't have teeth, or claws for that matter?
- Will constantly back spacing to fix my spelling errors cause me to fail?
- Do I really give a shit?
- Why am I asking so many questions?
- Cats are assholes! Well, at least some of the time.
- I have a cat and dog on my mousepad.
- My mousepad is filthy. I think I need a new one.
- It's a beautiful sunny day today. I hope it doesn't get too hot though.
- I used to love summer when I was younger, but now I'm more a spring/fall type girl.
- What's your favourite season?
- Don't say summer or we can't be friends.
- Do you even want to be my friend?
- Paul should do this. He could do 100 thoughts about donuts. No problem.
- Actually, I think Heather mentioned donuts. You should read hers as well.
- No, I'm not wasting my 20 minutes trying to link Heather's entry. Look it up.
- Did you know my brothers tried to hang me?
- It's true. You can read about it in his interview with Heather.
- Look it up.
- I have family pictures all over my walls and they are waiting for me to fail.
- One quarter through, 8 minutes already.
- This is hard.
- Judey, what have you done to me?
- My brain is starting to hurt
- Little bitchy brain is calling me a failure already.
- I shall push through, with or without support from the useless walnut in my skull.
- How can I get this done faster.
- I really need to stop worrying about typos and edit later.
- I'm not sure if that allowed though.
- I'm getting hungry.
- I don't know why though, it's not that close to lunch.
- Maybe I need a donut. Right, Paul?
- The damn phone is ringing. That's not gonna help.
- Why do spiders have 8 eyes?
- Hold on. Maybe that's 8 legs.
- How many eyes to spiders have?
- I swear it's 8.
- Is anyone entering the Vocal awards?
- I'm considering it, but not sure.
- I need to get a drink, but I can't get up right now.
- Why am I so slow at this?
- I've given up on fixing typos.
- I don't even care if it's cheating to edit later.
- I want some chocolate.
- Actually screw that. I need a beer.
- I'm half way and have 5 minutes left.
- Epic failure.
- I think I'm too stressed.
- I'm also realizing all these thoughts are about the same.
- At least i think they are. I don't remember.
- What's my name?
- Officially 5 minutes left.
- I wonder what Abigail is up to now?
- She's too quiet.
- I hope she doesn't jump on the keyboard.
- I wish it was hockey season.
- I miss my Leafs, even though they're losers.
- I guess I shouldn't judge them two harshly since I'm about to be a loser on this challenge.
- Loser with a big fat L.
- Almost 2/3 done.
- One step closer.
- Okay. 2/3 done. What an accomplishment.
- Matthew was supposed to have a pic of an otter but he didn't post it.
- I love otters.
- I love all animals actually.
- I think I like animals more than most people.
- I have 30 to go and I am truly running out of brain cells.
- Not to mention running out of time.
- Remind me not to enter impossible challenges.
- Truly though, this is fun, even though I'm about to fail.
- 3/4 done and one minute left.
- Should I even bother to finish?
- Absolutely. I ain't no quitter.
- Just 22 more lines of utter nonsense.
- I don't even care if the math is wrong.
- Loud loser buzz!!
- I'm out of time.
- What is time anyway?
- Hold on! I just had a thought (miracle right?)
- What time zone was the person in who presented this challenge?
- Maybe I have another hour.
- Yeah, yeah I know 20 minutes is 20 minutes.
- But what is a minute?
- If you say 60 seconds, I'm gonna just....
- Never mind. I don't know what I'm gonna do.
- Ten more thoughts to go.
- Possibly less than 10 remaining brain cells.
- There's a warning light flashing in my brain.
- "Stop thinking Cathy, or we'll initiate shutdown protocols."
- Okay, I've officially gone off the rails.
- Was I ever actually on the rails?
- If I was on the rails, wouldn't I get run over by the train?
- That sounds pretty dangerous. Maybe I'm best off staying away from the rails.
- 2 more thoughts after this. I ran out of time 4 minutes ago, but what the heck.
- I'm think my brain has officially given up.
- You'll be glad to know, I'm finally done!
