Well, I would hardly claim this is my favoured method of passing time, but there’s no use protesting. Sometimes we need to knuckle down and ensure the work is done. Because as you can see for yourself, sometimes the work is dull.

In any case, I am offering everyone a pleasant extra-curricular activity to pass the time.

Try responding to this post with the first word that comes to mind. Respond to words posted by others with other words that come to mind. I am more than aware such games are not for everybody, but perhaps you should give it a shot.

Ah, I suppose I should get us started:

Police.

As in, somebody call the police because this is Hell.

[People who enjoy social media often press send before thinking about their answers. But how is that his problem?]

Comments

[Gilligan's Island is a classic, and thus overrides any rules about word counts!]

She didn't, actually. Have you seen Gilligan's Island?

[restingstitchface]

Not at all. I cannot imagine I missed anything special.

[Films? Oh, his interest in those are limited. But talk books and he's here all day.]

[bubblegumheart]

She's one of my favorite characters.

[Por que no los dos]

Stage.

[restingstitchface]

[All this world's a stage isn't it?]

Performance.

[bubblegumheart]

[That's what they say.]

Exhausting.

[restingstitchface]

Camping.

[That shot was open and he took it.]

[bubblegumheart]

Fun.

[restingstitchface]

[What's the opposite of fun? Boredom?

He leans into the image he's cultivating instead.]

Torture.

[bubblegumheart]

[The opposite of fun is work, of course.]

Torment.

[restingstitchface]

[Damn. He already said camping.]

Singsongs.

[bubblegumheart]

Musicals.

[Suddenly, she's kind of relieved that he's not in her cabin.]

[restingstitchface]

[Take pity on the Quokka!]

Cabaret.

[bubblegumheart]

[Quokkas are adorable, it's true.]

Jazz.

[restingstitchface]

Classical.

[Not saying jazz isn't culture, mind!]

[bubblegumheart]

Instrumental.

[restingstitchface]

Is it cheating if I say "Orchestra"?

[Maybe it is. He doesn't care.]

[bubblegumheart]

It's your game. I think you can probably do whatever you want.

[Because she's not here to fun police.]

Concert.

[restingstitchface]

[Oh thank god, a normal person.]

Music.

[bubblegumheart]

Choreography.

[restingstitchface]

Dance.

[bubblegumheart]

Party.

[restingstitchface]

Oh, I'm going to lose this one, because I just have to say I cannot think of anything worse.

[bubblegumheart]

Not a fan of parties?

[restingstitchface]

Well, you'll always find me in the kitchen. Read that however you like.

[bubblegumheart]

That's fair. The world would be really dull if everyone's likes and dislikes were the same.
