This Helps Me...!

[SarahBee]

So I told a friend of mine that I've been intensely urgy over the past few days and about half an hour later I had an email from her with a list of fifteen ridiculous things I had to find on the internet. The rule was that I wasn't allowed to blitz them all at once (although I was allowed to carry on finding them if finding one didn't help) and I could only look for them when I was feeling urgy as a way to keep me occupied.

They range from photos of celebrities doing strange things to multi-coloured top hats to inflatable llamas and more!

I don't know if it would help anyone else, but lately when I've been feeling urgy I've looked at the list and tried to find the next thing on it. It can take me hours and by the time I'm done the feeling's passed.

Like I said, don't know if it would help anyone else to have someone give you a crazy online treasure hunt but it does me, and I even get a good laugh out of sharing the links to what I've found!

oh, that sounds fun. d'you think you could post up a list of something like that?

<3 I'm.that.forgettable.

[SarahBee]

Haha, sure! Just give me a bit to think of a list... in fact, any help from anyone would be great, and might make the list even more fun. =D

[Roxi]

That sounds like a lot of fun! I'm looking forward to seeing a list - no pressure though

[breathing]

Ooh, this is a really good idea! *plots*

I got bored. I'm not exactly sure if all of these are possible. Let me know if this helps anyone. -Sam.

1. Find a new camera. It has to be blue and silver, 7megapixels minimum, and be good for action photos.
2. Find a website that you really enjoy the layout/web design of.
3. Find a retro poster on eBay with a pin-up girl and a jukebox.
4. Close your eyes, turn to a window and point. Research and identify the plant nearest to where you're pointing.
5. Find a picture of a wall. Find an old hag, military boots, and a turtle in it.
6. Find a video on Youtube that shows you how to moonwalk. Learn how to moonwalk.
7. Find a pair of pants with five chains on it. And a star.
8. Find a comic about a person who thinks he is a cat.
9. Find out which country drinks the most mango juice.
10. Go to dafonts.com. Find five of the most ridiculous and illegible fonts you can.

Ahh I completely forgot about this! I meant to make a list AGES ago. =S

I love yours though Sam; it's brilliant!

[freespeechz]

Haha, quite alright. It was fun to make it up. Was kindof helping me cope too, since I couldn't ask people to find stuff about certain topics, therefore I couldn't let myself think about that. Now I'm wondering if it really is possible to find those. Mango juice indeed.

1. Go 'wikipedia article hopping' - Start with the random article button, and start reading, and click links to other articles as you read it, see how random and off-topic you can get. (I've tried it, it's amazing how far you can get)
2. Get 2 random names from the top of your head, RANDOM, eg Fredrick Smith, and search them in google, and see if you can find a famous person with that name. Find out EVERYTHING there is to know about the person. You can also do this for a real celebrity you want to know about, or try and find someone from real life?
3. Get a picture with a shade of a colour you like, maybe the colour of the sky in a particular photo, or something. Find an item of clothing with that exact colour. Maybe, if you have lotsa time, pick a photo, and create a colour wardrobe from the colours in the picture. Really random idea, but it takes ages.

All I can think of at the minute, I've tried the first one when I was fighting urges, not the other 2 as of yet, but they take AGES and occupy you.

Aw, that is such a good idea.
