1. Pick an unusual object in your bedroom. I'm not talking about the signed poster you got from a concert last year, or that godawful present that you didn't exchange because you knew it would hurt someone's feelings. I mean something that you kept in your room on purpose, even though it wouldn't make sense to anyone else, maybe not even to you.

2. Tell me about it. Write it as a story, or a poem, or just a simple explanation. Why is it important enough to have a place in your private space? This is NOT a critiqued writing assignment, and it's not me trying to get pry into your personal lives, so only share what you feel comfortable. I want to know all of you guys, and I think that some of the smallest things in our lives are the richest and most telling.

Comment, or give it a try. Either is good.

I have a bowling pin next to my monitor. It's old, scratched and dented. I won it. In middle school, we did a bowling extracurricular thing. I was mediocre through the entire process, rarely bowling about a 65. But that last day I totally rocked, I bowled like a 120, the best in my class. That day, there was a prize for the best score, that was this bowling pin. It's one of the only trophies I have, and I can't bring myself to get rid of it, despite its uselessness.
