       Ooh, our 13th challenge this year. You'd better participate in order to avoid bad luck. So Kweeny's being lazy in this heat. You're kinda lucky that you got a challenge at all, so you'd better show your appreciation and do it even if luck weren't an issue. Yeah, I'm not sure that that's going to convince you to do it either. How about a pretty please with a cherry on top? And whipped cream if you're good. Or bad. Oh good, you'll do it. Now for the challenges. It's the middle of the month, so we're gonna do some lists!

       Challenge A: Twenty-five things you wish you would have been alive or present for.

       Challenge B: Tell us about some of your superstitions. Do you have any? Know someone with a good one? You know... anything would really work here. Make something up if you want to. Like... I have this friend who has to hold his breath every time he passes a cemetery. I always wonder what he does when he goes to a funeral. But yeah. Stuff like that. Because it's our 13th challenge and all. But I didn't make that up. He really holds his breath.

       Told you I was being lazy. But have fun with 'em.

Kween I took on Challenge A, using my creative bloggers right to mold the topic into my interest. In any way even though it is much different from what you might have expected I was a lot of hard work to put this entry of 25 things together for you - CLICK HERE

       Summer's in full swing here at the Kweenly Palace: the pool is full and the cocktails are flowing and the dynamite (fireworks) are going "boom" around the clock in celebration of the 234th birthday of the United States. And Hector, the tanned and muscled pool boy, is hard at work. Let me tell ya, this is truly the American Dream.

       Ok, so maybe Hector is the name of the ugly little robot vacuum thing and the pool is just a little bit scuzzy because Hector keeps breaking down and the inflatable rafts all have holes and the only fireworks I have are those annoying Black Cats and to top it all off I'm out of the good kind of vodka. Let's face it: things have been tough, even for us Kweens, and "The American Dream" is starting to turn slightly sour.

       So the challenge this month is this: Examine what dreams you've had in your youth, what dreams you now have, how things have changed, and how different things are from how you planned them. Take some liberties with this one. Explore. And write!

       (For those not living in the U.S., please forgive the slightly ethnocentric post -- the theme is rather applicable to all, I'm sure, so I hope you'll still participate!)
