And On the Second Day of the New Year…

Yesssss, I know I’m late!

I finally got around to the '100 things-thingy in 20 mins' challenge that Judey Kalchik did ages ago, but she said there was no time limit so technically…

Don’t you love it when you don’t even NEED a loophole?

Check out the challenge prompt below:-

Well, the pressure cracked me wide open on this and there were a TON of grammatical, spelling, and other mistakes. I was going to correct them, but then I thought, “NAH! Push the edge!” Leave all that glop just like it is.

Those who know me well, understand that this is waaaaaaay outside my comfort zone. Non-edited work published??? Sacrilege! But hey, I can live with it (for maybe a couple of hours...and then I might need level 5 restraints, so READ IT QUICK!)

***

1. This is supposed to be fun, fun, FUN!

2. I will keep reminding myself of that whenever I feel the need to SCREECH cuz I’m typing too slow.

3. I mean who can keep up with thoughts?

4. Like seriously, we can have up to 60,000 thoughts a day.

5. Work out the percentage of how much of that equals 20 mins worth.

6. (I would stop and do the maths but there’s no time.)

7. I hated maths in high school.

8. The teachers were dweebs.

9. BUT, I get to see how much chutzpah my typing teacher’s rote boredom exercises do under pressure.

10. Hi there Ms. V!

11. Shucks, she may not still even be alive.

12. Well, I hope she proud either way spelling gmistakes and all>

13. This is shaping up to be some year huh?

14. Did you know that I am already running out of resolve?

20. #Whhyyy does this need to be numbered again?

21. Making my eyes go funny.

22. Yeah, so I’ll know when to stop.

23. #What if I keep going?

24. And going and going.

25. Does that mean the challenge is mute, null an dvoid?

26. Of course not. I never thought that.

27. That part was just filler thoughts.

28. Don’t laugh, you have filler thoughts don’t you?

29. Bet you wish like me there aren’t thought bubbles above people’s heads.

30. That would be awesome in the worst kinda way.

31. Everybody would be laughing, crying, and fired from every position imaginable.

32. There’d be chaos.

33. Chaos during which the world could start over and BOY would that’d be great!

34. As long as the people who started it down this effed-up path in the first place aren’t around.

35. Well gee that’s a great strategy for success!

36. I wonder how I can do this without getting panicked about the time.

37. ~For crying out loud I’m only on 37!

38. This is making me breathe dee-

39. I wonder if it can make me do other things?

40. Filthy X-rated things...

41. Nastiness in a challenge of under 20mins?

42. It could work.

43. Might need to use a CW but hey I’m sure that’s no issue#

44. Oh stop!

45. for the love of Pete, I don’t have time to be X-rated!

50. I told you my brain was like that.

51. Now there’s evidence.

56. I could just hug my Grandpa if I’d known it would be the last time I’d see him.

57. My son is a joy he woulda had fun with.

58. They could have gone sailing together.

59. After he straightened out my boy’s lack of focus.

60. That woulda drove him mad!

61. The love from my loins gets distracted soooo fast!

62. It’s maddening.

63. Ask him to do something and two minutes later he’ll have YOU forgotten what it was.

64. Magic. I know.

65. He’s always been good at that sort of thing.

Important Afterthoughts:-

I'm sure I'll wake up at some hour in the morning with an uncontrollable urge to correct and edit this work. Please be supportive by taking a screenshot, sending me mangoes, and reminding me that I can have low standards just ONE time. Do not under ANY circumstances allow Vocal Media to place this as a Top Story. You MUST protest should this travesty occur. My true blue Vocal Peeps...I am counting on you.

OH. EMM. GEEE! You read all the way to the end? Aren't you special!

Thank you for being a wonderful human being. I appreciate you so much right now.

Pssst...please feel free to check out my edited work right here.
