Guilty or Not Guilty II

[LostInTheMist]

Not guilty. Although, to be fair, that sounds like it might be fun.

TNP has eaten a Marshmallow that was on fire.

[RainyHigh]

Not guilty. I blow the fire out first since I'm a scaredy-cat.

The next person has pretended to text in an awkward situation to avoid talking.

[LostInTheMist]

Not guilty. I have managed to ring my phone in such a situation. And then claim an emergency to escape. But texting... nah, even though I now realize it would be more believable.

Passing it on.

[RainyHigh]

Yes, so guilty. 😅

The next person participated in a writing contest.

[LostInTheMist]

Not guilty. I write for my own pleasure and the pleasure of other people, not with any objective in mind.

Passing it on.

[Brokk]

Guilty.  I tried one recently on a public writing website. 

The next person used their kids as an excuse to do something they themselves really wanted to do. (like going to Disney)

[LostInTheMist]

Not guilty. I don't have any children.

TNP has had a bad day today.

[RainyHigh]

Sorta guilty. My body and feet are aching, and my mind is going ...

But I made it through so... win!


The next person has to work tomorrow.

[LostInTheMist]

Not guilty. I'd call in sick if I did have work tomorrow.

TNP is sick to death of tax commercials and emails.

[RainyHigh]

Guilty.

The next person has watched at least one episode of the Fallout live-action TV show.

[LostInTheMist]

Not guilty.

I'm angry at Fallout and the developers, and probably will be for life. As if crappy stories and random nonsensical missions (that fail to contain the humor of the original game) and technical problems up the wazoo weren't enough, micro transactions and pay-to-win mechanics abound in the latest game. I don't want to reward bad behavior.

It's not a huge sacrifice for me though, in all honesty. I'm just not that interested.

TNP also has a show (or movie) they refuse to watch on principle. (Dubious or otherwise.)

[Brokk]

Guilty

Titanic. It was so many years ago, I can't even remember why at this point.

TNP has a music group they used to love, but now refuse to listen to anymore for some reason.

[LostInTheMist]

Not guilty. Most of the music I listen to is far from controversial. Or I should say most of the musicians are far from controversial. They're not likely to have murdered anyone or raped anyone or any of this other stuff that might cause me to stop listening to their music. (I still watch Joss Whedon shows and stuff, with the idea that they may not be a good person, but they create great things I can still enjoy. But it's a case-by-case basis.)

TNP has had COVID in this Calendar year (since January 1, 2024.)

[RainyHigh]

Not guilty! *knocks on wood*

The next person has written at least one poem in the past 365 days.

[LostInTheMist]

Erm... not guilty, I think. I find myself sketching out little ditties, rhymes, math proofs, etc. in my head when I'm not doing anything else. I rarely remember them later though, so perhaps there's a rhyme in my head somewhere, but actually written down... no, I don't think so.

TNP did NaNoWriMo last year, and plans to do it again this year.

[AmbrosiaPudding]

Not guilty. Though I have done it before just not in recent years. 

TNP has a penchant for making dramatic characters. 

[Lilias]

Guilty-ish. As in, I don't consider them particularly dramatic, myself, but people whose characters interact with them have told me so, more than once.

TNP has inherited something they hated.

[Oniya]

Guilty.  My late MIL gifted us with this pair of lamps (I'm not sure if we got the shades) where the base is some sort of barely-clad child holding a bunch of pastel-pink grapes.  Not only did we have vastly different styles of decorating, but our place here is very lacking in electrical outlets.  So they're standing, bulbless, on either side of our mantle.

TNP has attempted to recommend a book/series to someone in the past year, but the other person couldn't be bothered to check it out.

[LostInTheMist]

Guilty. So many recommendations for The Stormlight Archive and not one taker.

Passing it on.

[RedPhoenix]

Not guilty. My friends listen to me when it comes to books and I know what they like, every book I have recommended this year has been checked out and loved.

The next poster has a favorite type of cereal!

[LostInTheMist]

Guilty. But I haven't had cereal in years. Too many carbs. Too much sugar. My breakfasts these days are small, protein-filled things. Cottage cheese, sardines, eggs, that sort of thing.

TNP's largest meal of the day is a meal other than dinner/supper.

[Chasing Dreams]

Not guilty. Dinner is really the only meal I get on work days as I'm lucky if I get to eat lunch on work days.

The next person is looking forward to summer this year.

[RainyHigh]

Verrrry guilty since I have several weeks off during the summer.

TNP is hoping to get caught up on writing for E today.

[LostInTheMist]

Not guilty. I'm on a short house sitting stint before a longer one later in the week. When I'm house sitting I don't get any real writing done. I've been caught up for five straight days, and I'll get caught up again come Monday.

Passing it on though.

[Chasing Dreams]

Not guilty.  I'm at work and don't have access to my laptop.  I'm so far behind on posts that it will take more than a day to get caught  up.

The next person watches YouTube videos at least twice a week.
