#2 (23 Things)

I am required to reflect on stuff for the '23 Things' project that led me to this blog building site and to this rather out-of-place posting. After all, this is an avant-garde, tongue-in-cheek, use-a-lot-of-hyphenated-phrases kinda blog.

Not some dreary record of some training or something..

Quite frankly, this requirement is one of those "you MUST write a letter home to your parents from Camp Tonawanda, (by the shores of beautiful Lake Peepeenono) once a week - OR ELSE".

That said: here we go...

(These are the prompts to be addressed in this letter)

Q:Why are you participating in 23 Things? What do you hope to learn? What new insights did you have during Thing 1? How does writing on the Internet, knowing anyone could read it, change how you write or feel about writing?

Dear Mom & Dad,

I am participating in '23 Things' because my Director insists that it will be good for me. I hope to learn all manner of new and exciting things. Thus far, I have found out that establishing a blog is easy and free (2), and that tedious, pounding piano music, combined with white text on a graphic background for over 7 minutes can cause a ferocious headache (1)!

Writing on the internet seems like a fun thing to do , providing you have something to say and a relatively thick skin. One never knows what will give offense to the feckless dunderheads out there! Why, some might even take umbrage at being tagged a 'feckless dunderhead'! Imagine!

I am going on to item #3 next, because it is number 3 in the series and it is next. No other reason. I'll write more when I can, or when the counselors force me to.

Love,
Your son.
Etc., etc.
