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.

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.

[restingstitchface]

Perhaps not. Their environments and natures would still provide different outcomes. No two people are alike and all that.

[bubblegumheart]

Okay, that's a good point.

So why do you hate camp?

[restingstitchface]

Well, it's not very stimulating.

The opposite in fact. Not everyone has a great relationship with the outdoors.

[bubblegumheart]

I'm sorry you're not enjoying it. Maybe the next thing we have to do will be something you like better.

[restingstitchface]

Thank you. I appreciate your consideration and likewise hope the next activity finds you well.

[bubblegumheart]

You're welcome. This one's not so bad so far. Were you here for the previous one?
