- Sex.
- Also, mentioning “sex” in a blog brings you more traffic, or so Bryan says. Put as many sexual tags as you can think of on your blog post. Think hard.
- Try to find another writing utensil.
- Tell yourself that this other writing utensil is perfectly sufficient.
- Upon immediate dismissal of the above point, keep calm.
- For Christ’s sake, shake out your luminous hair.
- Distract yourself by considering your freckles.
- Consider the cost of Claritin, which you had to buy because you needed it, but you would have preferred that the Family Dollar had generic in stock.
- Email Jade. Email Bryan. Email Melissa.
- Write random bullet points and hope no one notices the randomness.
- Think morbid thoughts. Such as all the ways horrible things can befall people: aortic tears in plane crashes, torture, being shot repeatedly in Afghanistan, having your rehab dog shot to death upon returning to Texas, forest fires that incinerate entire crews of smokejumpers in Montana (?) gulches, plane crashes that result in the consumption of rugby players, cutting your own hand off, freezing to death on Mt. Everest, starving in the Alaskan wilderness, dating, ending up in a freezer, being in Iraq, being in Somalia, being infected by the swine flu, having multiple myeloma with a 10% chance of living through the treatment much less the illness, and not having your favorite writing utensil or an interesting blog topic.
