Who Doesn't Love a Good Challenge?

I have some interesting roomates. I consider all three of them some of my closest friends, and we tend to operate on a level all our own, oblivious to the norms of the outside world.



Without them, my days would have far fewer heated arguments over the banana-ripening abilities of plastic bags, not nearly as many late night stints at Wal-Mart searching for slip n' slide materials, and significantly less quotes from "She's The Man".



We tend to get bored/put off schoolwork easily, so to fill all that free time, developing games involving dares and pranks has become our forte.



When I was searching for ideas of what to write about in this blog, I asked if they would be willing to help me out and create challenges for me to attempt each week.



I decided instead of silly, useless activities we have dared each other in the past, like buying a guy at a bar a shot of water, I would try to do things that will challenge my character, make me a better person, improve my karma.



Starting this Sunday, I will pick one challenge out of the three that my roomates (aka the Challenge Masters, as they have dubbed themselves) offer and try to stick to it for a whole week.



Tune in here to read about all my successes, failures, frustrations and joys. I am 100% dedicated to these attempts, and it will be interesting to see what the three Challenge Masters come up with each week. I will write honestly about my experiences, but they will also be keeping tabs on me and are sure to let me know any slip ups I have.



After all, who doesn't love a good challenge?
