Been brainstorming productive memoir/essay topics for Grace's upcoming WoolfCamp Jamblogboree.
- Blog about your mother at age 18.
- How would you beat up your dad? (hint: use the element of surprise and sneakiness)
- Do you have an opinion? What is it?
- What's the most interesting thing in the world? Does this subject ever change? Why do you think you're a person who is either entirely inconsistent or rigidly consistent? What does that mean about you, and your parents?
- Is there a word I could say that would cause you more stress than any other word? Can you tell me what word that is, and try to explain yourself?
- Why the longing for dichotomy, rather than trichotomy or omnichotomy? Can it be explained by bilateral symmetry, or is that, too, a construct?
Is this the homework assignment I must have completed before I show up, or will we collaborate on it when we're there?
And this thing about having an opinion - does that mean I can only bring one???
:-))))

Yes. You are only allowed ONE (1) opinion, so make it a good one.

Wow.. although I lived in the same house as my parents for 23 years... I couldn't even imagine working on #1. Any blogging about my mother will be an uncomfortable condition.
As for my dad (#2), would the time I actually gave him a shiner count?

#3 cracks me up. I'm in a champagne-induced high right now, but let me think about this and get back to you.

Is that blogging about my mother when she was 18 or about me when I was 18?
Do I have to sneak up on my father in order to beat him up?
Can I bring my (1) one opinion and it's attendant wardrobe and accessories?
Again I feel way over my head.

Wardrobe will be supplied for any and all opinions, except those involving firearms and/or republicans.
