Pin the tale on the communicatrix

discardedideas_mskogly

I’ve so enjoyed the participatory nature of some recent posts and—let’s be honest, shall we?—I am so frickity-frack-fruckin’ tired from blogging almost every day since the beginning of the year that I’m going to get all interactive on your asses.

You—yes, you—get to pick next Friday’s post! From a host (almost an internal rhyme, there) of choices moldering away in my drafts folder.

This isn’t an entirely new game; I did it once before, long ago, when gentle woodland creatures frolicked joyously in fields of green and banks still loaned money rather than borrow it.

But because I like to change it up, I’m adding this twist: one post wins; all the rest, in whatever stages of doneness they are, get deleted. Because we can have a taste of spring cleaning right in the middle of this hellish winter we’re all suffering through in Southern California. In the words of one of the great men of our time, yes, we can!

So here they are: my little Frankenstein babies. (I’d say my little Sophie’s choices, but that would be incredibly tasteless…right?) YOU are the judge of who lives…and who disappears with one click of the “Bulk Edit” button:

  • Colleen Meets the Cluestick (A Tale in Two Parts)
  • Why size doesn’t matter
  • But enough about me—what can you do for me?
  • Keeping your eyes on your own paper
  • Too much of a good thing
  • In between hard rock and A Summer Place
  • law of attraction
  • Nerd Soundtracks

Well, okay—I reserve the right to use the title for something else, if I really like it. But the post itself? OUTTA HERE.

Just like me, on this Friday evening. Have yourself a merry little weekend!

Although it feels a bit harsh to make a choice, knowing that the others won’t survive it… I would say: enlighten us about your law of attraction – but take the title from one of the other ones :)

Have a great weekend!

I’m with Nicolien. What about Colleen beats the law of attraction with the cluestick?

I’d like that.

I’m going to be the odd man out so far and will go with the ‘why size doesn’t matter’. That’s always a good…theory…to be reminded of now and again.

Thanks for using my picture!

I vote for Nerd Soundtracks, and I hope you build it as a playlist in Spotify!

I like Nerd Soundtracks.

Stephanie February 7, 2009 at 7:49 am

Law of attraction, definitely.

dyana February 7, 2009 at 8:25 am

eyes on your own paper, please!

“I am so frickity-frack-fruckin’ tired from blogging almost every day since the beginning of the year”

Too much of a Good thing! For several reasons.

Nerd Soundtrack. Totally.

But something tells me that between here and there, something going to happen to you this week that will bump all of these out their slot.

Life is funny that way.

EJ February 7, 2009 at 10:16 am

But enough about me—what can you do for me?

interactive is interesting.

Denise Marie Anton February 7, 2009 at 11:53 am

It’s just not fair! Why can’t we keep ALL of your posts and get rid of the useless blather from all those blogging berks out there who routinely manage to swerve around the cluestick?

As you can probably tell, I’m not very good at Moral Dilemma games.

Well, alright, since you asked: I’d like to hear your take on laws of attraction. You’ve got a knack for bringing all that “woo-woo” stuff down to earth.

“But enough about me…”

Nerd Soundtracks!

The other titles feel familiar, and I’d just as soon skip ‘the secret’ approach to life.

Amna (The Cuminist) February 8, 2009 at 10:38 am

I vote for law of attraction!

(though the word “cluestick” and the image of being beaten with one totally crack me up)

Neil February 8, 2009 at 9:24 pm

I’d like a blog entry about you phrase “frickity-frack-fruckin’”. That could be interesting and inspiring! You do have a way with words.

Isabelle from Mtl February 9, 2009 at 8:27 am

I’m torn!
Nerd Soundtracks was my first pick but I’m going to go with what’s behind door number two: why size doesn’t matter.

Elaine February 9, 2009 at 1:18 pm

I vote for the cluestick, mainly because it promises to be a twofer. Double fun!

Alexis Ahrens February 9, 2009 at 9:37 pm

Nerd soundtracks. Sounds like the funniest to me, but then I find costumed animals hilarious, so … grain of salt.

And, btw, you ROCK for keeping up this posting pace! None of your posts has been the least bit lame, and you’re doing this EVERY DAY along with all of your other commitments. Big pats for your back!
