So our next project is something called "All Senses but Sight". Fairly straightforward, sight can't be involved in the project. My new group came up with a lot of ideas, in varying amounts of crazy and I was impressed by most of them. The one I enjoyed the most was an idea about a pinata, which for whatever reason smelled and of course had tasty objects inside (or maybe not tasty. One idea I had for it was to put rotten eggs in, which would cover both taste and smell since I'm fairly certain that rotten eggs are one of those smells you can taste). However, my group decided not to do that one and to do the (to me, not quite as impressive) box-o-senses, in which someone with a blindfold must dig through the box and smell/taste/feel their way into figuring out "where they are". I'm not saying it's a bad idea, I do like it. But it's just not nearly as thrilling as a pinata.
So this is where I seceded from the union.
I'm doing my own project now, the pinata. The only real ultimatum my group gave me is that they would like it to be a penis pinata from Spencers. I'm fine with that, whacking on a huge paper penis with a stick sounds like something anybody can get into. Actually, my mom called me while I was still asleep this morning, and I told her about this project of mine. Being my mother, she thought it was hilarious and gave me a very good idea. "Fill it with condoms" she said. I had only thought about filling it with white candy, so this was a new and glorious idea. Condoms are expensive though, so I think I'll still cut it with candy. Actually the only idea that I'm hung up on is the sound piece. I know that hitting the pinata will make sound, but that's not fun enough. I'm going to see if I can find some sort of moaning thing, or maybe some guy yelling in pain. It's up in the air. I'm pretty excited to see the final result.
