Hello!
Just under a year ago, I instituted Birthday Mad-Libs, where I'd go online, find a Mad-Lib that was worth doing, find words to match a particular friend and WBW reader, and post it on their birthday. (Eventually, this came to include me gushing about how much I loved that person, etc) Now, to my knowledge, I didn't miss anybody, and when I did miss someone I went back and picked them up later. I'm sure I did miss people, I'm just not aware of it because it's so hard to keep y'all straight. This was, I believe, one of the best ideas I've ever had. And it kicked off with Hannah's birthday, which is May 8th. (We tried to do a joint birthday celebration once. It failed tragically and miserably and we've never tried it again) And, since most of my good ideas are best wrapped before they go on for too long (CaDET series, anyone?), I thought it would be a good ending point to do the last Birthday Mad-Lib on my birthday. Bookends*, people.
That said, it just felt really narcissistic coming up with words that remind me about myself. (Let's see, adjective...handsome! Another adjective...awesome! Noun...incredibly gifted writer!) So, I'm gonna make you guys do it. Cop-out! Hooray!
Here's how we'll do it:
Play in the comments. Starting at the top of the following list, each commenter can leave six words at a time, and you have to do the six furthest up the list that are not done. For example, if you are first, you will do Name - (your answer). Adjective - (your answer). You have to let at least two other commenters weigh in before you go again, and nobody goes more than twice. Unless we get to tomorrow night, posting time, and we still haven't finished it up. Then I'll say it's a free-for-all and Travis will probably just finish it himself. Remember, use words that remind you of me in some form or other, and don't repeat any words that have already been used. Hopefully this works and I can post the final Birthday Mad Lib tomorrow. Have fun! (And see that it's not as easy as it looks!)

*Speaking of bookends, I've figured out when I'm going to end this volume of my blog. The first format obviously lasted 365 days; this one will be a bit different. I can't tell you when it's going to be, but I will be sure to let you know when we are getting close
