Weekly topic suggestions!
Most of these have probably been used. This is just what came imediately to mind:seduction
cross-examination
mysterious caller
what’s in the closet?
Renaissance fair
film noir
double-crossed
femme (or homme) fatale
swamp monster
mad scientist
buried alive
lost in the catacombs
What's in the closet sounds interesting, as does mysterious caller.
Interrogation ... I've been wanting to do that one.I like mysterious caller too.
Wolf-pack
Archaic
Minions
Coming up with topics is a whole lot easier than writing stories.
armor, ballet, crypt, dungeon, eloquence, fireside, gravity, hell, itch, June, kiss, London, ocean, pomegranate, rift, sunspot, tickle, ulcer, villain, wax, yolk, loyalty, ritual, obsession, silence, currency, sweat, meat, window, embroidery, children, milestone, truth, foal, hero
Ah, armor and dungeons. I ordered a main gauche dagger this morning to go with the rapier I wore to the Renaissance festival.
I hope calculus is easier for you than it was for me.
I have to do remedial math for my college, even though math is my best subject. I just got really bored with it several years back and stopped studying it. Actually, if I try I can typically figure out 90% of the trigonometry and about half of the calculus even though I looked at books on those subjects maybe once each ... that's what I did on the ACT. I stopped trying on the placement test for college and am feeling very stupid about it now.Anyway, I have no idea why a psych major would use with math, except maybe statistics to look for patterns in populace.
Possibly.I've just discovered the strange wonder of Spam.
Ingredients: Pork with Ham, Salt, Water, Modified Potato Startch, Sugar, Sodium Nitrite. Sounds healthier than most canned soups, although even I think it's a bit high on the salt.Hm, yep, seems very probable.
It's all pig, not cow. Anyway, it seems very practical for a variety of reasons: North of a thousand calories in a small package for two or three dollars. It keeps for about two years without over doing the perservatives. It is definitely a good food to store during good times in case of bad times.I would never be a vegetarian. For one, I doubt the health benefits of it and, for another, I really like meat.
Turkey legs at a festival ... so good.
Have you ever had liver? I tried it at a few restraunts and it was terrible, but then my mum made it and it was delicious.
So, how do you feel about shrimp or lobster or haddock or cod?
I immediately cringe when I hear those names. :OThe only seafood I actually somewhat like is crab.
Alex, you love your drunken meats? It figures. ;)
I'll eat almost anything without grains. Grains don't agree with me ... Seafood is great.Cooking with alcohol is amazing. The one thing my mum isn't too good at, somehow.

The Disney thing was just too funny.You really need sleep.
Necrophobia ... better than the opposite. If you want to talk about creepy.Subliminal messaging kind of suggests, you know, a message. What would be the point of briefly showing us a skull?
Alex, have you been hanging around some medical school’s old anatomy amphitheater to get raw material for your stories?
My father wanted me to be a surgeon. There were several things, however, that alerted me that medical school probably wasn’t for me. For one thing, I wasn’t interested in a career in medicine. For another, I fainted at the sight of blood. For yet another, I was incapable of reading at length. So I majored in English.
It seems to me that a background in psychology and English would be an asset not only in life but in a lot of careers. People judge by appearances, and writing well is like dressing well or having polished manners. If you know how to figure people out, you know which of their buttons to push to get what you want.

Nature/Animal Extinction
I think one on Death or Pain would be good. :) but you probably have done both those. SUMMER LOVE!!!!! i would eat that up hehe
Death, pain and summer love... what a contrast! LOL. ;D
haha yes im like that lol my friends all say im a romantic pessimist...gosh that was so off topic lol bedtime haha JK
The great thing about summer love is that you can expect there to be someone new in the fall.
yeah :) maybe or it could turn to more then just summer love, you never know.
I wouldn’t know about things like that. I know only what other people have told me.
A fun one to do might be something to do with fruit. There are so many different kinds for people to pick from and colors and ways of growing. Ways to eat it, or just look at it, there is a wealth of ideas there.
