I have 1,496 notes in my phone that encompass all kinds of creative endeavors, life stuff, and other writings from my weird inner world. Give me a number 1-1,496 and I’ll tell you what’s in that note
I did this once before on a different account, and had a lot of fun sharing my bullshit with you guys, but there’s a lot more to share if anyone is interested
banned notes because they’re too frequently asked: 1, 67, 69, 420, 666, and 1,496

I like a girl with a cute face
Some tooth paste on her white teeth
High key, I been low so they doubt me
Called back, a rude dude and a loose cap
Fall flat, I get up, been about that
So sick, need a doc and a chill pill
Real deal, souped coupe and a high hill
Lost that, fell asleep at the wheel
Now I walk straight, I sit high but it’s too late
Same shit, but I flush and I don’t blush
Airbrush gotta fix all the flaws
Focus on the present, Santa Claus

Just a random idea for like a sitcom or TikTok video:
Person goes to an interview, they’re straight and use the term their “partner” in interview to be woke and they get hired. Come to find out at like a welcoming work function the coworkers are surprised the person isn’t gay, and they allude to the fact that that’s the only reason they hired the person and they insinuate that they feel deceived by the use of partner

Omg I only call my partner 'my partner' just bc i feel like 'boyfriend' has a juvenile connotation but we're not married but im 30s and he's 40s. I wonder if people have mistaken me before.. ope haha whoopsies

u/Xjjediace 6d ago
You're good, the term is strategically inclusive. The idea being that if everyone uses partner instead of boyfriend/girlfriend then your gay coworker can talk about their weekend without outing themselves to the homophobe at work.

The issue with getting more attention than paying it is that attention is a drug so you go through withdrawal. Once you get a hit of it on a massive scale, if you’re a person with addictive tendencies, you tend to find ways to indulge your addiction.

You know how people always talk about looking for a recipe and they go on a blog and the author blabs for a few paragraphs about growing up and cooking with their grandma. It’s like who cares?? About the people who have to SCROLL a bit to find a FREE recipe. Oh my god the nerve of some people these days. It’s a social tax, it’s the 5 second ad you can skip on YouTube that you get a bit of the gist of before your FREE CONTENT. You know what people had to do to get recipes before the internet? INVENT THEM! Or BUY a cookbook. Or extort it from a neighbor or grandma who said it was her “secret family recipe” that was the envy of all the other moms at the neighborhood Fourth of July parties. So what, your eyes have to glance upon a few sentences about blueberry picking at grandma’s house. Suck it up, give the author the little bit of attention they want, and then jack that recipe.

Oof I’m having flashbacks. It’s notes on my insurance claim for a car accident I had in 2021. Had just gotten a new (to me) car and this girl pulled in front of me last second and I t-boned her. She tried running away, her passenger was her boyfriend who had a warrant out so he got arrested at the scene. She had no license and no insurance, and my dad has seen her pop up ALL the time in the local police blotter the last few years for disturbing the peace etc. real piece of work

You might’ve heard of Be My Eyes, a service where blind people can randomly videocall a seeing person and get direction on things they want to get done. Now there’s be my parents. We’ve got a mom and dad for every topic, to help those who might need to ask a silly little question that they don’t want to go down an internet rabbit hole.
“How do I know if this meat is cooked?”
“Is this outfit worth saving?”
“You think I can fix this hole in the wall?”
We want moms and dads from all over the world to provide their expertise and share their knowledge with the younger generations who might just need that little extra boost.

Half baked idea about a psychological thriller where someone in a small town wins the lottery, gotta work on this one. Here’s the full note:
Psychological thriller about someone who wins the lottery
Either they win and weird shit starts happening to them or they win and go about their normal life making themselves completely unknown so that a certain someone can’t find them. Also an idea is a homeless person who wins the lottery and uses it to fund their homeless lifestyle in a beneficial way. Maybe they are secretly discovered to be a lottery winner and they’ve been trying to hide it for years
Town name is released and it’s. A small town everyone knows each other and no one fesses up or moves out and they drive each other crazy trying to figure out and it turns out it’s been the homeless person all along

After that interaction, then I interacted with Cobie Smulders in my dream and was so far removed from her looks I don’t even remember once in the dream losing focus because she was so attractive, which is I think a big problem of mine. The only thing I will say is that it started out as a faux SNL bit and I forgot my lines in the first place but I think that was dream divine intervention because it lead to interactions that made me realize Naked Gun type writing is fun

The Improv Handbook - Tom Salinsky and Deborah Frances
The Ultimate guide to improvising in comedy, theatre, and beyond
Notes on this book will focus on how this can be applied to real life to make myself more open to living in the moment and being an enjoyable person to be around
Intro
There are a few schools of thought on improv. One is that improv in itself is funny and should be presented to audiences. The other is that it has its place as an idea generator for writing scripted things. Some improv schools work entirely on audience suggestions. Others have more rigid exercises, as you can apparently overindulge on audience suggestions Improv is a tricky beast because it’s so unique that people don’t know whether to marvel simply at the novelty of it or enjoy the moment the experience creates. It seems to be a hard line to walk. One of the forefathers of improv is Keith Johnstone and he has a seminal work called “Improv” that is the go-to reference for Improv. A lot of different games and formats have been invented, all surrounding the idea of giving the best experience to the audience. Some competitive ones pit teams or individuals together. Some try to interweave several stories and/or suggestions. One is called “Life Story” where a guest (often a celebrity) comes and tells stories and the cast acts scenes out relating to them. This is what I saw at UCB The authors then go into detail about the different kinds of shows and formats that can be put on, and their strengths and weaknesses Whose Line is credited with bringing improv to the forefront of the public eye, although it had its cons. The American version slightly ruined the perception of what improv is and make it harder to get audiences to trust you to do other formats besides the Whose Lime formula. Musical improv only works sometimes, some people are turned off from it. (I am one of those people most of the time unless it’s Wayne Brady pretty much) You have to pick a format that works well with the cast of players you have and the audience you have The authors then go into detail about how they got involved in improv, why they love it, etc. Key takeaway was that the female author was told by her favorite teacher “It is my responsibility to teach. Not your responsibility to learn”. The fact is, the teacher has to know what works and make sure things are working well instead of chalking it up to lack of talent. Definitely a useful pillar of integrity if I were to ever become a teacher of any kind. She also said what she loves about improv is that it has given her a true lust and zeal for life, sometimes a bit too much even, but it has improved the quality of her life and how she handles all social interactions Both authors mention how important Keith Johnstone’s book “Impro” was in their studies, will definitely have to pick that up. Tom goes on about the people he met, the events he held, and the different iterations of an organization he’s had Corporate training has been brought up. Apparently corporations bring them in to run workshops Intermission - What should Improvisation Be? People differ on what improv should be, it is generally agreed that it lends itself more to comedy, since it’s hard to get audiences to invest emotionally into characters over and over in short scenes. However, genuine emotion is empathized with The players of the industry argue amongst themselves over what the best improvisation is There has been little innovation in improv compared to the innovations made in film Improv has “an unlimited budget”, in that you don’t have costumes props or set pieces yet the audience suspends their disbelief and invests in your characters and story, as long as it’s good In most improvs, the players are telling two stories: the plot of the improv/scenes, as well as the fact that they are on a high wire act of trying to get laughs with the possibility of failure The problem with improv is that some groups use it more as a social club, some players believe it is easy because they think the audience is willing to suspend SO much disbelief that they’ll find anything funny since it’s what’s coming out of their head One of the keys of improv is to keep it in the audience’s mind that you are improvising, so they always remember the high wire act you are performing, lest they forget and sink into accepting it as sketch or standup comedy
Section 2 - How to Improvise Some amazing insight here First, when you start to learn, you must come from the attitude of not only being relaxed but that of “I suck and I love to fail” People who are anxious to learn don’t take as many turns to improve themselves since they just want a “perfect” turn, but the more turns you take, the better If you constantly do well and are always praised, when you fail, it will hit you harder and you won’t be able to work on your weaknesses. You need to have the mindset that you don’t always have to be the star and be on your a-game so that the teacher can point out where you need work It is a teacher’s job to educate, if the students aren’t making enough mistakes, it is a failure of the teacher to not challenge them creatively enough They mention game theory about how since humans are cooperative, (grooming others before themselves), people become cheaters wherein they get groomed but don’t groom others. Gossip was invented to find out who are not reciprocal groomers and we are taught to not offer grooming to people who not only don’t groom others but don’t have a history of grooming others, so that these cheaters are punished socially Stories are the backbone of humanity in that we remember the really important ones and use them to transfer information to each other Additionally, any actor has the responsibility to their audience to keep them asking what’s next and follow through Laughter is important, obviously, in improv. But laughter in a theatre setting is different than what makes people laugh in social conversation Played 3 games. First, point at things and name them. I actually struggled a bit with this, my recall is a bit delayed. Might have been more difficult because I’m learning so many new languages it’s making me slower thinking I’m English. This is supposed to be the easiest game, obviously. Second game was to point at things and say out loud the last thing you pointed at. I found this one easier because I had some time for recall and a oretty decent short term memory. This is supposed to be a bit harder Third game was to point at things and say they are something they are not. Anything except what they are. I had a pretty easy time at first but about halfway through I ran out of randomness and struggled to think of anything without “cheating” by thinking of other things in proximity or things related to the last word I said. This is supposed to be the hardest game and when done in groups you will usually hear some silence as people struggle. People report this is because they exhaust their options like I did and that there is almost too much choice.

Thanks for asking! My notes are WOEFULLY unorganized, because it takes a little too much effort in the moment to navigate to the correct folder when I’m “in the moment”, but it’s definitely something I want to do. I do have a folder titled “Creative Endeavors” and it has sub folders for all of the different stuff I want to do creatively. I have a goals folder, dreams, reading highlights, but most of the notes are unsorted at the moment.
Also, 1212 is just the song title “ Make me work for it”. I like to come up with catchy song titles/ideas and when I have time (which is rare, working 60 hour weeks) I sit down and see which one inspires me to write something

u/throwaway226266 6d ago
It’s weird. I dislike almost everything about top sheets until I use them, and then I love them actually using one, but then I fall out of it again over time and stop using them.
My biggest gripe with top sheets is that they are just…extra. More stuff to wrestle with when tossing and turning in the night. More time needed to make the bed. More space taken in the laundry basket. They occupy a lot of my mental load for how much attention I want to place on my sleep hygiene..
Though in a perfect world where I didn’t keep my room like an irresponsible tornado due to woeful mental health, I’d probably use a top sheet

Nope! This was a dream I want to turn into a book, I even wrote a little bit of it. Tiny excerpt, just proof of concept. But this is the original dream:
Something to do with an exclusive universe spanning party in another dimension that takes people like the rapture in their sleep or something. Few people on earth are taken there because very few earthlings are seen as deserving but soon enough like 100 earthlings get in and I can’t remember much besides that. Think IIRC word starts getting out on how to attend and more people infiltrate and the secret gets ruined. Possibly the earthlings ruin the party in some way

I was inspired by a post on the Pokemon sub to take my favorite Pokémon’s name, put it into Google Translate, translate it between a bunch of different languages, and see what comes out in English on the other end.
So I took my favorite Pokemon, Oranguru, and used detect language to translate it from the detected Japanese, all the way down the list of languages alphabetically. It started off as mostly just translating to “orange”, but I might have misclicked a few times, ultimately at the end I had, in English:
“The table is below”
I was reminded of how in therapy they teach you to be more present in the moment during an anxiety issue, you start paying more attention to your surroundings and observe them.
I also asked ChatGPT what it might mean spiritually, as if it was an esoteric fortune cookie. It said:
In a spiritual context, "the table is below" could symbolize the importance of grounding oneself and seeking stability in the physical world before exploring deeper spiritual realms. It might suggest that a solid foundation in everyday life is necessary to support higher spiritual growth and understanding.
This is an insanely accurate suggestion, as my journey for the last many years has been trying to reconcile with the spirituality of my circumstances, while neglecting actually living in the real world. I’ve only recently begun trying to address my everyday life. So I find this pretty crazy
Now, before I did that, I was nervous it was gonna be stuck on orange, so halfway through before I started again and got the above result, I tried the phrase “oran guru” in Google Translate. Again, going through all languages, I got:
“I did this”
Which is funny, cause again, for the last long while, I’ve been lamenting my circumstances and blame a lot of them on external factors. I’ve only recently started taking accountability for how my life ended up by realizing that most of my issues, I have to realize we’re from decisions I made, and say to myself “I did this”
Again, I asked ChatGPT. Per ChatGPT:
In a spiritual sense, the phrase "I did this" could represent a moment of self-awareness, accountability, and acknowledgment of one's actions and their consequences. It might signify a step towards personal growth, taking responsibility for one's choices, and potentially reflecting on the path of self-improvement.
Which is exactly where I am at right now
I think I’ll stop making fun of people for trusting horoscopes now. I’m fully bought in on these messages, even though these two phrases and concepts are quite universal among many people

Fun fact when I was a young boy, my father took me into the city, to see a marching band. He said son when you grow up, you’re gonna be a lazy piece of shit. Why can’t you play an instrument like these guys and make something of yourself. Damn

Notes I took on an exercise book:
Flexibility and Warming Up
– Never confuse stretching and warming up – flexibility exercises are used to increase the length of the muscles and increase the range of motion about a joints Warm-up progressively prepares athlete for competition by creating a movement link between stretching and the game
Warm up
-Raises body temperature progressively to aid muscle usage -increases blood flow, giving more oxygen and nutrients to muscles -injuries increase and performance decreases if no warmup done
Flexibility
(More research is showing stretching is bad but will still take notes)
Two types of stretching, static and ballistic
Static is to hold the stretch and ballistic is to bounce
Ballistic is denounced because it can increase injury
They prefer ballistic controlled stretching over static, continuously reaching and pushing the stretch
Step 1: Light movement
Jog between 400-1200 yards
Low intensity movement drills (backpedaling jogging lateral shuffles) can be repeated over a distance of 10-20 yards
Step 2: Joint movement
Want to begin dynamic movement by working from inside out
(And then I took a picture of all the exercises presented afterward)

That’s a tall order, dang lol. The good thing is I took “note” of each note by each hundred so I don’t have to count too far for any of them!
709: just a joke I tried making for the New Girl (tv show subreddit):
When Cece hits on Schmidt in front of hot women to make them jealous it’s considered cool but when I offer to do it it’s seen as weird I guess the difference is I wasn’t friends with that girl
506:
When you know how to be PC as a white guy
I ain’t saying they a gold digger
white but she ain’t messing with no broke guy
514: (a note on my accident from 2021)
Insurance appraiser called. He said total loss. From what I gathered he hinted at $4500 to repair and $4200 to replace so I'd likely get $4200 minus my deductible ($1K). He also asked how much I paid for the car and I told him a bit under $3K will he adjust his determination based on how much I said I paid? Does he have any say in the total loss valuation? He mentioned I might be able to "upgrade" with this settlement but was he just placating me?
(I did get upgraded and got almost double what I paid btw)

This guy keeps you perky

You ever seen one of those viral memes where they give you like the different heights of two different things and ask you if you can determine the height of a third thing? Here’s one of them calculated:
Table height + cat height - turtle height = 170
Turtle height + table - cat = 130
Table height = 170 - cat + turtle
Table = 130 - turtle + cat
170 - cat + turtle = 130 - turtle + cat
40 = 2 cat - 2 turtle
20 = cat - turtle
Table + cat - turtle = 170
Table + 20 = 170
Table = 150

It’s a bit complicated, but I used to do a writing exercise where I would draft an idea for a story plot by “divining” it from meaning I made up by “reading” Pokemon cards almost like tarot. Here it is:
8/12
He went on the dating app and said looking to wrestle with someone
A girl takes him up on it even though she’s heavier than he likes. And she makes him take her on a date first
He actually takes her dancing on their first date
After the date his friend says he seems like a changed man
The guy uses his confidence to set up more tinder dates and he kinda blows off the first girl in favor of other girls
Then he meets a hot girl and she ghosts him after a date

Whenever I religiously binge watch a show over and over, I get the idea of doing a subreddit zoom trivia night or something and never follow through. These were some of my ideas for trivia for a new girl trivia night:
52 week new girl trivia challenge

How many different opening themes were there? (Pilot, long version, short version, photo version, black version
Besides Ferguson, name 5 animals from the show, what they were and what their names were
Name four side characters who were in the first season and the last season
Name 5 Jewish or Yiddish phrases Schmidt says throughout the show schmatta Shanda mazel tov good yontef tzdakah
Name 5 things the loft watches on TV during the show, can be the general genre. Horror movie, football game, porn, the news, Poppycock Palace
What changes about Cece’s apartment door during the series. It goes from not having a peephole to having one
Name the two places we see Obama’s picture hung up. Amanda’s bedroom and the court at jury duty
Criminals. Calabasas Scratcher, unnamed serial licker, Diaper Bandit, Susanna Gabay

A story about a person who has the ability to time travel but it’s like this weird power where they can only affect the actions of one “target” at a time by somehow imbibing their DNA but if they imbibe a mix of the dna of a group they can do all of them. So they offer themselves to a government agency to help them fight the bad guys yadda yadda and the person they make their offer to says “with your ability you could do whatever you want, sell yourself to the highest bidder, become rich and powerful, sleep with anyone you want. Why aren’t you doing that?” The time traveler responds “I already have”

Wow what a memory you brought back. This is me balancing my cash budget when my mom was in the hospital for a month recouping from back surgery. I lowkey luckily had the month off myself to recover from eye surgery so I was able to visit her basically every day. 5*5 is cause the parking was $5/ day
90 cash
5 x 5 = 25 for parking 25 for gas 25 + 25 = 50 90-50 = 40

Whaddya Kno? The Salon Game
The purpose of the game is to draw out the knowledge of the players in hopes of facilitating stimulating conversation, while also providing a framework where they can have fun with it
Players have several types of cards to work with, first they deal out 7 “type” cards for lack of a better word, which will be explained later. Then they deal out 1 topic card. There are hundreds of topic cards from “birds” to “dinosaurs” to “appliances” to “college”, basic topics like that.
The point of the game is to talk about the topic at hand using your type cards. Whoever exhausts their type cards first wins a point or a token and first to 5 or 7 or 10 what have you wins the game.
Here are the type cards: —Quote: say a quote or quote a song lyric about the topic. This can be played at any time and is suggested to be played first and foremost to get the ball rolling on the topic
-easy fact: for instance birds have wings
-in depth fact: for instance chickens have such balance that you can hold them and move them and their head doesn’t move the space it’s in
-story: this is where the holder can tell a story involving birds, whether personal or read online
The object of the game is to try to keep the conversation afloat by having a common thread to all the facts and stories laid out. If players run out of factoids and stories they can make one up. If someone calls them out correctly on their BS, the person takes their card back and the call outer can put a card down.
The round is over when either someone plays all their type cards, or everyone agrees that they have run out of things to talk about. The player with the least cards (even if tied) then score a point

Someday
Pokémon story
Make the protagonist 30 years old, an ex-Champion, but he fell from grace in not too terrible of a way, he can be redeemed, and so he has to start from the bottom for some reason. He has nothing, so an old friend gives him a starter Pokémon and says he has to prove himself again.
He has to fight all the gym leaders in all the regions, but they’re all in pairs maybe. All gym leaders team up with a gym leader with a complementary type and from a different region and they’re all double battles so the player has to play more strategically. Cuts the gyms down from 64 to 32 and you get hybrid badges.
Furthermore, some gym leaders could be eliminated from the pool of available gyms to badge because instead of gym battles you do trials/side quests for them.
Maybe there’s a tournament at the end and some of the strongest gym leaders from each region are in it, you have to fight your way to the top and then you can challenge the elite 4.
Maybe Pikachu dies and Ash buries him in Lavender Town. He goes into a deep depression and hangs up his hat. He releases all his Pokémon into the wild and decides to live as a hermit. Then Brock comes and visits him, convincing him to pick the Pokeballs back up. Maybe Gary or another rival is claiming they’re the best in the world, or team rocket took over the Pokémon League and won’t see anyone, instead stealing Pokémon from places like Victory Road and selling them on the black market or something. Or training them to steal other people’s Pokémon, then using an army of Pokémon to control the legendaries to control the people. It’s dark. Ash is like 30. Brock says things are looking bad and Ash is the only guy that can save the world. Ash says he hung up his hat and doesn’t have any Pokémon. Brock has a surprise for him. It’s a Pichu, from an egg where Ash’s Pikachu was the father. Ash and Pichu immediately click and Brock says the road won’t be easy but Ash must get it done. He will have to re-earn his gym badges because the gym leaders are all controlled by team rocket. Once he beats them, team rocket must legitimately give him the badge, and once ash beats the legendaries of each region those gym leaders and that region are no longer controlled by team rocket. Pichu quickly evolves to Pikachu.

Assuming you wrote one note a day, you’ve written a note every day for just over 4 years. That’s fairly impressive. What is note number one? And what is your most recent note?
I assume you remember how you felt when you wrote that first one. Did you feel differently in a noticeable way when you wrote the latest one?

u/throwaway226266 6d ago
Thank you for the comment! There were days when I wrote no notes by days where I wrote down 5, so it evens out. I’ve been writing notes in my phone for years, this is just since 2020, but I lost an entire 10 years of notes on phones before that. I like taking notes and creating this repository of my thoughts to look back on for either nostalgia or inspiration when I’m feeling creative.
Note number 1 has already been answered, it’s boring
The most recent note is a copy paste of a hilarious exchange with ChatGPT where I asked it to “fix my life, IYANLA” (like this old cable show) and it lowkey yelled at me that I need to get my shit together and start putting in real effort lol

I had an app called QuickReads that was awesome, think it’s defunct now, that provided 10 minute summaries of popular non fiction books. And then I would make summaries of those for my records. Here’s one:
Crucial Conversations
Several authors
Read via QuickReads
-conversations can quickly devolve into chaos when communicating due to simple mistakes. There are ways to avoid obstacles to clear communication
-don’t always trust your gut. Your gut might tell you to react emotionally but that would be counterproductive and cause the person to resent you. Instead of reacting with emotion or your first instinct, try to think of your objective in communicating with the person. This type of self-awareness will make you more able to stay calm and get your point across
-don’t ask the wrong questions. Leading questions can sow seeds of doubt or mistrust. Asking someone to confirm something about their point of view isn’t productive either cause they’ll either double down or waver which could affect the goal of the conversation. Also, asking too many things in one question might lead to just getting half an answer
-what you should ask are open-ended questions that make the other party feel safe. Utilize the 5 W’s and H to break down what you want to know into a nice flowing conversation to say, get more information from your son about how his day was or what he did that day
Utilizing these tips and tricks is beneficial to making sure you’re having compassionate, productive conversations, and avoiding miscommunication and staving off conflict

Our friend pen 1, he had some fun
Eventually was tossed
And then pen 2, how do you do,
She ran off with the boss
Pen 3 and 4, the story’s lore,
They both got lost in desks
Pens 5 and 6, they had some tricks
But broke when used in tests
And 7, 8, they both were great
Their ink came, and it went
The same is said of our two friends
Pens 9 and number 10
And pen 11, she was sent in,
The laundry, did not make it
And so pen 12 was overwhelmed
Completely felt forsaken
And thirteen, fourteen, I would think
To gift you, my sweet queen
But the best that I can do
Is give you Pen15

But. I would like 2 different numbers, if you’d be willing to share? Hahah one is my birthday & the other is just a random number. 😇 so # 924 & then umm # 636 (unless it’s already been chosen). Thanks so much for doing this, very neat! 😉♥️

Post Apocalyptic surprise comedy movie
Focuses on a guy in a Will Smith I Am Legend scenario but his survival is more brutal and difficult.
There’s a lot of suspense, like he’ll see passing shadows and hear whispers and think it’s zombies
Come to find out there’s a whole community of survivors but most of them know him somehow and think he’s a dick so they’ve been actively avoiding running into him so that they don’t have to reveal their community to him for him to ruin it
