Ideas To Write About

When I was 8 years old and in... whatever grade, my teacher would force the class to do some writing in a notebook, on the first page of which was a blank list titled IDEAS TO WRITE ABOUT. Which should really be worded differently if you ask me, but I digress. I, of course, filled in those blanks with stream-of-consciousness gusto because I loved filling in blanks, and I still love filling in blanks to this very day; in fact, that is what I have chosen to do with my leisure time at this exact moment!

The list raises inspires many reactions. Such as:

• Who the crap was Patrick? I even gave him a star!
• "Rabbits" was first?
• I gave a star to "poetry," but not "nonsense?"
• "Writing?" OOOH RECURSIVE
• Why didn't I actually write about any of these things?

It's worth noting that, considering how much I've changed in the last 14 years, many of the things on the list are still important to me. "Life," for instance; also "holes." BUT NOT PATRICK.
