If you Were a Fruit…

by Laura on February 8, 2010

in writing prompts

Today I am at the Job Find­ing Club. I may even find a job. The ques­tion of stu­pid ques­tions came up. Some peo­ple say there are no stu­pid ques­tions. Oth­ers, like myself,  think there are abun­dant stu­pid ques­tions and won­der how it is that we keep hear­ing them. As an exam­ple of a stu­pid question…

If you were a fruit, what kind of fruit would you be?

I’d be a fun­gus cause it cov­ers more ground. It isn’t very pretty or pop­u­lar but noth­ing really kills off a fun­gus for long. Like cock­roaches, fun­gus will be around for­ever.  In time fun­gus con­quers all. You’ve got a few spores on you right now.

What kind of fruit would you be and why? Think of this as your stu­pid inter­view ques­tion of the day.

Living Up to Everything Expected

February 7, 2010

Seen at McDon­alds in Ontario (part of their Olympics pro­mo­tion).
Dream­ing about the moment before it hap­pens.
Hav­ing to live up to every­thing I expected.
Know­ing I’ll be back.
Golden.

A Birdhouse for Doodle Week

February 6, 2010

The one I posted to U3 for Doo­dle Week is much pret­tier than the sec­ond one I drew to post here. Still, not every idea which seems great at the time, will work out. You just have to try it and see how things turn out in the end.

Zombocalypse Now

February 5, 2010

Inspired and quoted from the site for the book Zom­bo­ca­lypse Now:
You check the time (still two min­utes before seven, though it feels like you’ve been sit­ting here for hours) and then start absent­mind­edly review­ing the appe­tiz­ers listed on the plas­tic table dis­play. Sweet­bread? Ew—isn’t that cow brains or some­thing? The restau­rant is a spaghetti house, […]

Fairy Tales for Short Attention Spans

February 4, 2010

One day a great wiz­ard cast an enchant­ment upon a princess hop­ing to lure her to his realm. Finally, she arrived. The wiz­ard came down from his tower to greet her with his very best pick up line. Sadly, it was some­thing obnox­ious he had picked up from the guy who cleaned the dun­geon. So […]

The Decadent Red Bedroom

February 3, 2010

House Home Gar­den has made three posts show­ing pho­tos of a bed­room, kitchen and a lounge dec­o­rated almost com­pletely in red. I picked the bed­room as my favourite. It just looks so… deca­dent. How would you dec­o­rate your favourite room in your favourite colour? Write at least a para­graph to describe it.
Would you be bold […]

Behind Every Door… A New World

February 1, 2010

A sense of the mys­te­ri­ous. The feel­ing that behind every door another world is wait­ing can make a child’s world a par­adise.” -  John Mighton
A sense of the mys­tery and promise of the uni­verse should not just be for chil­dren. Keep hope, though it sounds over sim­ple at times, it is one ele­ment we can’t […]

Look for Signs to Lead you to New Things

January 31, 2010

Ignore your old life and look for signs that lead you to your new life”.
– Quote from an episode of Charmed which I hap­pened to leave on after The Gilmore Girls on Cosmo TV.
Isn’t it a great quote. I hope I caught it and wrote it down right. I was sort of watch­ing the show and […]

From Defying Gravity

January 30, 2010

Hell If I Know = H2IK
From the sci fi show, Defy­ing Grav­ity. I’ve watched the show a few times, it’s con­fus­ing with pop­ping around to the present and past fre­quently. So I haven’t really got­ten into it. But, tonight, I like H2IK. Kind of fun to come up with short forms for com­mon phrases. What […]

Fixed my WordPress List Formatting Glitch

January 28, 2010

I’ve made a few list posts, mostly bul­let style. The prob­lem was the for­mat­ting, all my points were crammed together in a solid block of text. It made the post kind of unsightly and not very easy (or desir­able) to read. If I tried to add a space it would try to make it my […]

Five Things you can do When Life Overwhelms You

January 27, 2010

If you’re hav­ing a bad day, week, month even, it’s hard to sit down and focus on writ­ing. Projects which you know are com­ing up, dead­lines creep right along and you just get more and more behind by the moment. It drags on your spirit and takes your cre­ativ­ity with it. But, here are ten […]

Employability Skills

January 25, 2010

I’m going to a three hour long work­shop called ‘Iden­tify Your Employ­a­bil­ity Skills.’ this after­noon. I’ve been on the diet plan of not eat­ing until later in the day for the last month. But, I am going to treat myself to a break­fast at McDon­alds in between catch­ing buses out to the work­shop. I don’t […]
