Assignment #121: The #11

Weekend Assignment #121: Do whatever you want, so long as it somehow involves the number 11. Memories of being eleven, lists that have eleven positions on them, collections of eleven similar objects -- hey, whatever you want. As long as the number eleven is somehow involved, it's all good. For those of you thinking about being sneaking and using binary notation: no "11, base 2." We're talking binary number 1011 here, pal.

Extra credit: Grab a book, open it to page 11, and write out the 11th sentence.

Okay..  This is kind of strange, because my old address was #121.  Here are 11 lessons I've learned while living at my old address: 

11  Lessons I Have Learned From 11 Stupid Mistakes..

 

1. Never get dressed in the dark.                                                

 

2. Never wear over-sized underwear—no matter how comfortable it may seem.                                                                                                           
3. Always bring extra money with you when going out of town to gamble---and don’t let the person who likes to gamble know about it.   

                                                                          

 

4. If no one answers their door after two knocks; leave.     

                                                                                  

 

5. Never go on a blind date—if you can’t get out of it, meet in a public place that you know. Be familiar with all available exits, and bring a cell phone.   

                                                                             

 

6. If your date carries a brief case to your date, and keeps your personal facts (i.e. what is your favorite color) in his PDA…  Run!!  

                                           

7. Believe the person if they tell you that they are “not ready for a committed relationship.”

                                                              

 

8. Never be ashamed to say the word, “No.”

                                                                              

 

9. Trust your gut and intuition.          

 

10. If he hits you once; it will happen again.  Leave. 

                                                                                   

 

   11.  Good Guys may finish last, but they stick around for the long haul.

Page 11, of the Introduction and sentence of the 11th line:  "The beleaguered daughter can take the role of the wicked mother/stepmother and try to tell the story from her point of view; the angry mother can explain to the passive father why it is that she is sending her children into the forest, and the role he has played in this decision."
