Writer's Block

The "add new post" screen on Wordpress has been up for several hours. I have this burning desire to write something, but my mind is blank. I cannot think of a thing to write about. I consult my usual sources of aid for writer's block-- sources that usually provide a spark that gets me going: Plinky, LiveJournal, even Grab. Not tonight. Tonight I'm simply left feeling restless and frustrated. You know when you are trying to think of a word or a name, and it's right there in the periphery of your memory, right there on the tip of your tongue, and yet you just can't quite grasp it? That's how I'm feeling right now. Like I know there's stuff I want to write-- more importantly, stuff I *feel* like writing, and yet I can't seem to quite put my finger on the exact topic.

And so here I am. My fingers poised over the keyboard. Ready to type. Itching to type. Restless leg syndrome? How about restless finger syndrome?

There was a time when I challenged my readers to a "truth or dare" game, which elicited some interesting responses, leading to even more interesting antics/blog entries. Nowadays I fear my readership is too few and far between to successfully attempt such a thing. But for those few who are still around, I throw it out there: what should I write about? Or... what should I do, what should I undertake, and then report back on? What are you interested in seeing/hearing about?

Oh, and just for posterity, since I doubt this will ever happen again:



Woo-hoo! Finally beat some of the hardcore champs in my friends list! Considering the insane scores many of them repeatedly get, considering the same names always dominate the top of the scoreboard, and considering that I have a hard enough time placing in the top 5 of my friends as is, this was an exciting sight to see. And such a rarity!
