It's Decided...I'm going to have fun!

June 2nd 2009 06:41
This evening, I am terribly bored. Trapped in my Grandma's house with nothing to do! Can't smoke, can't leave...what should I do???

Here's the brightside...I found the internet, and while originally the only hotspot to be found was in the bathroom on the floor...I've now discovered that if prop the laptop on my pillow right where I'm sleeping, badaboom! More internet, less toilet!

Other things I've thought of to entertain myself...

1. Go on a scavanger hunt! Somebody send me a list of items I should look for around the house, and I'll do my darndest! Or, if no one wants to play with me, I'll make my own list, (A-holes)

2. Gain 5 to 10 pounds! There is so much good food around here, I don't think I'll be able to resist. I am eating a piece of carrot cake right now, and there is more where that came from. maybe if I could make my bottom just a little bigger, I wouldn't have incidents like the one from the shower this morning, where I fell through a hole in the handicap shower chair, and got stuck. Bigger butt=safety!

3. Try on Fun Grandma hats! Actually, this already killed about 2 hours this afternoon. Next stop, costume jewelry and scarves! Then maybe go for a walk around the neighborhood. Yes! Big old Easter hat, scarf around my neck, gloves up to my elbows, and giant gaudy jewelry. Perfect attire for a stroll through the park! You know I'd do it!

4. Did I mention there are a jillion cookies here?

Ok, well that's all I have for now. Help me out! Any suggestions?

Now the shower incident I would have paid to see bahahaha. Ye Gods woman that sounds just like something that would normally happen to me. I am klutz central.

Ok, here is a task for you - find all of the sherry in the house and drink it and then run around the neighbourhood in your best hat, gloves and jewellery. You're at your grandma's right? There must be sherry. I think it's a requirement.

That's a negatory Cheryl, baby! No alcohol around here! My grandma is so naive about booze she calls everything whisky...even beer

The rest I can do!

Oh good grief you really are in a quandary. No ciggies or alcohol! However will you survive?

PS: Glad you can connect to the interwebs or you'd probably be out dancing naked in the streets just to entertain yourself.

Cheryl, I think you should know me well enough by now to understand that nudie dancing happens with or with out the internet!

Natalina, talking about the nana's hat, I remembered that I used to play with my nana's hat, when I was three years old! The even worse thing is, I thrown my nana's hat and flush it into the toilet bowl! LOL

Am I a naughty little boy, isn't it?

Wilson, that is a very funny story! Sounds like you were a naughty boy, but you were only three! I'm in my 30's and still playing dress up

Intriguing list! I shall begin shortly to complete it. I was a little offended by some of the items there. Have you no decency? What makes you so certain my grandma's the type of woman who just has doilies and pearls laying about?? And what in god's name is a treacle?

Help Is At Hand!

Blink wildly and then close your eyes really tight for an interesting light show
(Amusement Potential: 1-5 minutes)

See how long you can hold a note
(Amusement Potential: 4-20 minutes)
Not that much fun, but it sure passes the time.

Try to not think about penguins
(Amusement Potential: 1-5 minutes)

Use your secret mind power
(Amusement Potential: 5-10 minutes)
Pick a passing by and try to use your mind power to command them do something, like drop their bag or knock into someone. The law of averages dictates that sooner or later one of your mind commands will come true.

Pretend you're a robot
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
Walk down the street with mechanical movements, adding 'zzzzzt' sounds with each motion.

Scratch yourself
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)
Go ahead, scratch yourself now. Even if nothing itches, go ahead. Doesn't that feel pretty good?

Repeat the same word over and over until it loses its meaning
(Amusement Potential: 1-3 minutes)

Hope this helps

Sorry I haven't been very amusing. Sick and feeling sorry for myself but I'll give it a go.

1. If your grandmother doesn't have a cape (you never know, she might), tie a blanket around your neck fashioned as a cape and run to the end of the street and back with your arms out like Superman making swooshing noises the whole way.
2. Find a trail of ants and follow them all the way back to their nest and sprinkle some sugar around the entrance and watch the little buggers work their butts off getting it down the hole.
3. Arrange everything in the fridge alphabetically.
4. Put on make-up drag queen style including high arched eyebrows and over outlined lips (use glitter if you have some). Take photos of yourself to send to your friends.
5. Practice walking across the room with a hardcover book on your head until you can go from one side to the other including the turn without it falling off.

If you haven't been taken away in a straight jacket after this you will have my eternal respect.

So how did all these ideas go? My only suggestion is to teach yourself how to write with your non-dominant hand. And try doing other things with it also, like eating. I guess eating cookies with it wouldn't be hard, but at least it would get the job done! Good luck with that shower seat next time! Ouch!

Cheryl, When I complete MNG's list it is on to yours! Although...Natalina drag queen pics are already on their way to a blog post near you...stay tuned!

Kristin, I love that idea! I'm going to practice until I become one of those people who can write their name with both hands at the same time!

Morgan, I like to make sure that I keep the balls to my dominant hand at all times.
