O- Out of Material

Lets be O-nest here.  Most of us woke up this morning and thought ‘O’….hmn.  I don’t know about you but the first thing that popped into my mind was ‘ORGASM!!’ (woohoo!).   But I shook my head.  ‘No no,  can’t write about that.  I do have some self control, after all.’

What about Origami?  Like ‘Orgasm’, it has and ‘O’, and ‘A’, and a ‘G’, right?  But I don’t really know much about origami besides the little birdie where you pull the tail and the wings move.

Then I just sat at my desk for awhile saying ‘Ooooooooooo.’
‘Oh Oh Oh’
‘Ooooo’
‘OOOOOOOOOOOOO’

Nothing.

Then I thought ‘hey!  I can’t decide!  Maybe there is a word for indecision that begins with ‘O’!!?  Katie, you are a genius!  I looked up indecision through the online thesaurus and scrolled down.

‘Oscillation!’  YES!   I knew it!  Except when you plug ‘Oscillation’ into the dictionary, indecision and uncertainty don’t come up.  Apparently it’s more of a mathematical term and doesn’t really mean anything useful.

So ‘oscillation’ sucks.  How about a word for ‘failure’?  

Nope.

I am officially ‘O’ut of material here!  Guess it comes with the territory when you’re pantsing A-ZL  In any case, I’m looking forward to reading everyone’s (much more thought-out and enlightening) ‘O’ posts for today!

No but it's funny. Some days are def. easier than others when it comes to posting!

I use it mathematically, to describe a variance in both a positive and negative direction from a fixed point. Wow, did that sound nerdy.

Yeah,I don't think I would have used it. Maybe 'outtie' would have been a far better choice for me?

Huntress said...

No 'O's huh?

And with Q, V, X, and Z coming up, this should get interesting :)

Gina Ciocca said...

Aw, too bad. You could have gotten so much material out of Orgasm, LOL!

Talli Roland said...

I had a moment like that 'N'. I seem to be having many of those moments lately!

Bob Scotney said...

You could have used omega or should that come at the end when we finally get to 'Z'

Steve Miller said...

I had some trouble with 'O' as well, but then I ended up writing about 'oatmeal.' :)

Stina said...

LOL Now I know why I didn't participate.

Unknown said...

No "o", doesn't matter cause the post is still funny... well, I actually had mine thought up a while ago. I'm worrying about when it gets up to X... boy, I'll probably end up writing about Xylophones.

S.A. Larsenッ said...

You're too funny. I hear you on material shortage. Nice word.

Emily White said...

Hahaha! Great post!

Cathy said...

LOL! Excellent post. The challenge is definitely becoming more of a challenge as the month goes on. Desperate for inspiration, I was doing google searches for words that begin with "O" yesterday.

Old Kitty said...

Oh my gosh! Oh no!! Oh-oh uh-oh!
:-)

Have a great Monday!! Take care
x

Unknown said...

Oh no! Ha, just kidding. That was pretty lame on my part.

Even without material this post got a laugh out of me. Maybe it was the orgasm bit.

Samantha Vérant said...

I was right there with you...and then lightning hit. It fried my brain, but whatever.

Sarah said...

Sometimes you just need a post like this--out of material or not, it was still extremely entertaining!

Laura S. said...

LOL, you didn't have trouble at all, this is a great O post! Can't wait to see what you come up with for the letter X... ;)

Marjorie said...

I had the same problem today. I did finally come up with something, but it was really tough.

Lindsay said...

Lol. Don't worry, I struggled with 'O' as well :)

Jessica Bell said...

hehe. I would have been up for reading about the first thing that popped into your head! :o)

klahanie said...

'O' Katie,
Now, that's more like it! :)
I mean you have just about done a posting on that 'A to Z blogging Challenge' similar to my own alternative satirical postings on this whole darned thing.
I shall be glad when this is finally over and y'all get back to your regular routine.
And 'O' I guess that the next posting might just have something to do with 'P'....I shall leave it at that. Seriously Katie, have fun and take very good care.
Kind wishes from Gary over at his shy and unassuming blog :)

erica and christy said...

I went with OMG and then talked about text-speak. Please email me all of your Q (querying doesn't count), U, X, Y, and Z ideas. Thank you in advance.

Funny that I have yet to come up with something, it's 9:30 PM, and the only thing I have thought of all day? One night stand.
Apparently we think alike!

Rachel said...

LMAO...seriously. OOOO, OHHHHHHH sounds so orgasmic. Maybe you should have written a blog post based on it. You reall are a funny gem.

Eric said...

Eh, you should have just gone with orgasm LOL. Seriously though, this was hilarious enough to make it worthwhile. You did good, considering the lack of ideas. Nice job!

LOL! Funny post! Oh, and the one thing I learned this week is that I'm a panster, too, and not an outliner. :-)
