ok, here's my first shot at BlogLibs...
in the comments section, leave the appropriate responses. here's how i'll do it... if i ask for a noun, i will take the first noun posted in the comments, so if you're first you're first (and no shouting first). any dirty or innuendish reponses will be removed and ignored at my discretion. :) i've got rules here, and y'all or more creative than that anyway. also, if there's a response that's not necessarily first but i think it makes the story funnier, i'll rearrange stuff. because i can.
anyway, i'll gather the responses and post our story this afternoon. i won't tell you anything about the passage except that i pulled a book off of my bookshelf, opened to chapter 13 (no particular reason, just a good chapter), and that's our story.
so have fun, be creative, and let's make beautiful literature together. here's what i want:
(uh, now that i look at the length of the list, i'm thinking people will need to give more than one answer).
name of a person
name of another person
name of yet another person
a relationship
an emotion
another emotion
14 verbs
a pet's name
another pet's name
3 adverbs
8 nouns
a person (not a name)
color
day of the year
a kind of pet
another kind of pet
a body part
a type of gathering
really cool transportation device (planes, trains, autos, etc.)
a quantity (not a number)
UPDATE: the lines are still open, i just got home and have a few things to do before i can fill in the story. so carry on! and trevor, i was just teasing, so don't worry, you may get your story. :)
also, if you're not one of those who answered every single question, please continue to leave your suggestions, the point is to pick and choose so i don't have just 1 person's story, we need a variety of perspectives here. go go go!!!
Michael Moore
Sean Penn
Rummy
(and if the order doesn't suit the story, well, you know what to do...)
