- Watching Ted Talks in your spare time. My name is not Ted! Stop calling me that! Okay, so maybe I do watch too many...
- Building an igloo while waiting for the bus stop. I'm being "home" schooled today.
- Listening to music on JWPepper or other sheet music sites. I don't know who "Fifty Cent" is but I can listen to some good music here for free!
- Trying to put the craziest spin on a bowling ball rather than just aiming for the pins. When I go bowling, I play H-O-R-S-E.
- Caring more about the composer who wrote the score for the movie than the movie itself. I don't really want to watch- wait, did you say John Williams wrote the music?
- Programming a calculator rather than paying attention in math class. Though, paying attention in math class should be a warning sign in itself.
- Instead of a designated highway cleanup, you participate in designated Wikipedia cleanups. "I can't [leave], this is important! Someone is wrong on the Internet!"
- A refusal to Kindle. It's the first step from here to Fahrenheit 451.
- Measuring the angle at which snow falls. Once you get past about 50 degrees, the odds of having a snow day rise.
- Watching an entire marathon. They're really quite exciting if you can make it past the first two hours.
Recently, in a study completely fabricated by myself, it has been revealed that teenagers aren't being very creative. We found some of the main causes, whose fault they are, and what you can do to rid yourself of the uncreative plague.
- The first main cause is homework. Obviously, teachers are at fault here. But there is a simple solution: Drop out of school.
- Another cause is a lack of sleep. Clearly, the person to blame is a carpenter who makes bed frames. For this problem, there's another easy solution: caffeine.
- Distractions can also prevent you from being creative. To get rid of the distractors, distract the distractors.
- Writer's block can be a big problem too. When this happens, you must find the little kid who wants to be an architect when he grows up and knock over the tower he built out of the blocks.
- Finally, overeating can halt the creative process. Don't ask me how. Farmers are obviously the people to blame here. If this happens to you, simply send all the food you would eat to Africa and starve yourself. You'll probably die, but you'll be creative in the meantime.
