conversation hoggers
CONVERSATION HOGGERS
Talk louder than the next person so they’re heard better and can out-converse the next person.
Interrupt mid-conversation and then talk louder than you.
Talk in the middle of everyone else’s sentences and ideas.

IDEAS for the creatively starved
* write a journal entry with as many different (unusual) mediums as possible: leaves, fingers, sponges, nailpolish, chalk, ash, mud, lipstick.. see the t.e.x.t.u.r.e.s. and effects they give you. hint: try and make it as aesthetically pleasing as possible. :)
* "and why should love stop at the border?" RESPOND to this.
* write a love note to someone in images, colour and writing. mail it.
* carry your j.o.u.r.n.a.l. with you. every little while- every stoplight, every coffee break, every half hour...- take your journal out and sketch one thing you see from where you're sitting/standing. i did this yesterday and i sketched: a fabric rack with cloth rolls, my dog's expression, my breakfast, my computer screen, the view from my car window, .... etc. :) when you get home, paint/fill in colour into the pages.
* paint, collage, and crayon your pages. do pages and pages till your creativity lasts. for as many days as it lasts. when you're done, start using these pages as journal pages..record for journal-ish entries around the images on your art pages, try and alter the sizing and fonts of your writing to suit the mood of the page.
* write letters in unusual paper shapes and sizes: write in long thin strips, in triangles, in circles.
* for interesting journalling and art prompts, look through the interview section of magazines. pick questions that stimulate your imagination, cut it out and paste it to the top of your page. respond in the rest of the page.
* reproduce a photograph you love in loose watercolour
* write love letters in:
haiku
paint
epistle
sonnet
images
song
* more coming...in a hurry right now. wait for an update and some scans. :)
