Activity of Daily Task from Blogging 101
Today’s activity involves us writing from the Daily Post’s Daily Prompt. Ha! Piece of cake.
I have been writing from prompts my whole life.
Well, not my whole life but my whole blogging life.
Well, actually, not even my whole blogging life. Some of the posts are my own thought, some are inspired, some are… What I mean to say is that I have written on the basis of many blogging prompts. (See, this doesn’t sound as fancy. The “whole life” thing was so cool!)
This prompt comes from the Daily Post’s Daily Prompt: Community Service
Now, I know you guys would be lazy and wont click on the link to find out what the prompt is so I will write it here. (Don’t blame you, actually—would have done the same if I were in your place).
The prompt says
“Your entire community — however you define that; your hometown, your neighborhood, your family, your colleagues — is guaranteed to read your blog tomorrow. Write the post you’d like them all to see.”
Okay, then. *inhale*
Alright, then. *exhale*
No pressure at all. Everyone I know is going to read this and I feel no pressure at all. *breath deeply*
Are you kidding me? Everyone I know is going to read this?!
I am anonymous, how did you find my blog? How did you know I even write a blog? How did grandma know how to use the internet without calling me twice? So many questions, none that can be answered but I just have to go on writing.
First up, Mom, Dad, I have to tell you something. I write a blog. I know it is pretty obvious now that you are here and reading it but I don’t want to have a conversation later where you tell me that I never tell you what I keep doing in life.
Great, now that that’s out of the way…
Oh wait! There is one more thing – To my family. If you decide to read a few other posts in the blog they might contain words such as…, well words after which you would generally try to wash my mouth with soap.
As surprising as it may seem, yeah, I know them.
To my colleagues, if you happen to find a post here where I wrote something about not liking people at work, rest assured it’s not about you. It’s about those IT guys in the bottom floor. Unless, you are the IT guys from the bottom floor, in which case, it is totally about those guys in my floor.
Apparently, my neighbor is also reading this. Obviously, using my wi-fi. Yes, I know—I just don’t change the password because of decency and the fact that I have an unlimited data plan. By the way, you should know that I can access your searches (yes, even the incognito mode ones). Also, your dog is really loud.
Oh! If you are the pretty girl who stays above me, that paragraph was not for you and your cat is totally not loud, especially at two o’ clock at night.
My friends who happen to be reading this, all I would like to say is—nothing. Go, sod off! You all forget to invite me to parties and then come here to read my blog? Go away! (But seriously, invite me next time, okay?)
So, to all of you, as you can see, I am internet celebrity now even though I am anonymous. I mean, I manage to get a humongous total of 10 likes on my posts (Well a few them have managed to reach 10).
So, stick around and read more of my posts and have fu…
…Where are you all going? I write well. Okay, slightly well. Fine, I spew out nonsensical words.
Come back, please! I will get better. I promise.
…
Damn!
Now that I found you;
1. Go feed the hamster that is running the workservers! The net is slower than syrup!
2. Stop making the image on my screen go upside down every chance you have, that joke is getting old!
-Best regards,
A first floor IT-guy.
(Seriously, your post is funny! Serious!)

I will get right on it.
1. Although, I would like you to know the reason isn’t that the hamsters aren’t fed. They are overfed, so they have become fat
2. You caught on to it? Have you figured out the CD eject prank, yet?

I love this post ❤ ( And it has nothing to do with you mentioning me on commons, or helping me with ping back or anything, seriously no 🙂 )
I see you as a writing sensation in the world ( not just blogosphere!) very soon.
You have a gift for comic sense, wit and humor and your words are simple but subtle.
{ I have said this often, I know. It's nice to say such things everyday, if they are true and positive. Isn't it?}
Your time is taxed. I would love to see your horoscope for factors which contributed into making you so gifted with the word. I am into Vedic Astrology, interested deeply, kind of a researcher. You are a mask, anonymous and our friendship is new. I hope someday you would feel comfortable sharing them with me. Even if you don't–never–it's alright. 🙂
I earnestly wish you all the success in the world. 🙂

I am currently in between a few things which should get done by the end of August. I promise that we will have an email conversation after that. By then, even Blogging 101 would have ended giving us ample time.

Yes, I have enrolled for 201 and writing 101. We are also planning on another “mini-commons” which would keep going irrespective of these courses–a private group. You can join if you like–anytime. Would love interacting via mail after August. Please take your time 🙂
Sincerely,
Anand

With you in the centre I am sure it will but it will need a moderator probably – maybe you plan to keep it in the 101 common room?

No Garth–this would close soon. We have been discussing about admin names and some volunteers have opted.
Please see the discussion at the page where you just commented in the “Word Press Forums” thread 🙂

Hey!
Thank you for nominating and I am really honored but I would like to respectfully decline this award. It does mean a lot, though. You can read more here: https://theanonymoustalker.wordpress.com/award-no-award/
I hope that you understand.
Also, I would still take time to answer your questions without accepting the award, if that is alright.
