Edit 10\/31: Finishing up. If someone has a suggestion better than one I have, I\u2019m still open…..
Edit 10\/27: Added some. Still need more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday is All Saints\u2019 Day, which means November is here….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been really bad about snarfing things for prompts. (I prefer to do my own, because it, like, makes me seem more into it, or whatever, you know? O.o)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honestly, the reason is I\u2019ve been feverishly looking for new employment, and making a bit of an attempt not to get fired from my current shitty gig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that, onto the prompts as I have them for the moment….<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Who is your patron saint? If you are not a member of the global Papist conspiracy, explain a bit about what you know about Sainthood. (And the awesome Tegan and Sara album is totally acceptable, here.)<\/li>

  3. It\u2019s okay when it\u2019s in a three-way. Even with a honey in the middle, there\u2019s no leeway. But what, if anything, do you buy in threes? Do you believe in the celebrity death trifecta?<\/li>
  4. I have four relatives\u2019 birthdays in the next five days. I\u2019m blaming Valentine\u2019s Day. Do you have any relatives with birthdays in early November? Write a bit about each of them.<\/li>

  8. Write a bit about what you do on a \u201cnormal\u201d day. Where are you? What are you doing? Are you satisfied with the situation?<\/li>
  9. Where do you think you\u2019ll be this time next year?<\/li>
  10. What are some qualities of bad bosses? What woudl you not do if you were supervising others? (No, I won\u2019t aks for you to make your worst bosses, but you can write about why they sucked.)<\/li>
  11. Libations. Do you partake? What has been in your glass recently?<\/li>
  12. I\u2019m trying to remember something about a real dozen. What was I like at age twelve? (Other than obese….) So, this may end up being a bit of free writing unless someone brings me a dozen cupcakes.<\/li>

  14. Does anything have you excited for next year?<\/li>

  22. Day of historical significance for \u201cUS Americans.\u201d Do you know why? Were you alive? (I\u2019m skeptical\u2026) What do you remember? (Bonus on this one for readers from Soviet Canuckistan….)<\/li>
  23. Write about being 23. Other than the fact that nobody liked you, write a bit about being 23. What were you doing? Where you were living? Relationship\/who were you doing?<\/li>
  24. It\u2019s the final Tuesday of the month. Do you care?<\/li>
  25. Thanksgiving is tomorrow in the US. Are you travelling? With whom will you eat? If you live somewhere where they celebrated last month, describe what you did. glares North<\/em> If you live somewhere where they don\u2019t celebrate, describe what you did on the most recent holdiay where friends\/family\/loved ones gather.<\/li>
