Instructions for a Good Time

Comfort in a Cruel World
Take $5.
Go into a store and buy something small that you find comforting. 
Keep this object nearby (in your purse, bag, desk at work, ect.).
Next time you have a conversation with someone who needs comforting, grab your object. 
Say, “Here, take this. For comfort. I am your beautiful Santa.”
Give them your object. 

A Feast for the Senses
Invite a friend over for dinner. 
Without warning, eat your meal in an unexpected way. 
If your friend asks what you are doing, reply, “Art.”

Shake it Off, by Taylor Swift
Put on a cheap pair of sunglasses. 
Play any song you LOVE. 
Dance until the sunglasses fly off your face. 
Take a picture of the glasses on floor. 
Text the picture to a friend with the message:
“I did it! I did it! And now the world is mine.”

NO POOP
Find a gift that won’t cost you any money. 
Leave that gift in a friend's bathroom. 
Do not mention the gift to your friend. 
Poop is not a gift. 

Always Room for Improvement
Pick an animal you like.
Imagine that animal with a physical improvement (giant claws, breathes fire, wheels, etc.). 
Draw a picture of your imagined animal. 
Give the drawing to a chill colleague at work. 
Say, “If you come across one of these, please let me know.”
