i remember as a kid we used to always play this game (okay, not always as in every second of every day but often is what i really meant okay so back off) where each person would have a piece of paper and they would write a sentence on the paper that sounded like the begining of a story. maybe something like, "It was a dark and stormy night and jennifer and billy were driving down a windy road...," or "A long time ago in a galaxy far far away..." you know, that type of thing.

and then what they would do see is fold that part over so that the person next to them couldn't see it but they would tell the person what the last three words were like maybe they'd say, "a windy road..." or "far far away..." and the person who they passed the paper to would write the next sentence in the story only they wouldn't really know how the other person had started it so maybe they'd continue it with like, "a windy road always makes me carsick, so i'm thankful that my mom always kept vomit bags in the glove box..." or maybe, "far far away was not far enough for carl to run, if he was ever going to completely master living the life of forrest gump."

then the paper would be folded over and the people passing would tell the next person, "the glove box," or "of forrest gump." then when the papers had made it all the way around the circle, the person who started it would hear the last three words of the second to last sentence and then they would end the story. then people would take turns reading their story and sometimes they totally sucked and sometimes they were histerical.

so basically, i want to play that game. if you want to play, too, here's how i'm gonna do it. the first person to leave me their email address (you can do that thing where you go rebecca hyphen marie at hotmail dot com if you want to, i'm smart enough to decode those) in my comment section will get an email from me with the last three words of my opening sentence. they will then email me back with their sentence, and i will email the second person in my comments with the next set of last three words and so on until everyone who comments gets to play. if we need to go around twice to make it long enough, we will, cause lets face it, we want it to work, right?

then, when the story is finished, i'll post it and illustrate it. right on.

okay... who wants to play?

arrivederci, rebecca marie
