New Beginnings....

No, I am not a punk.

Yes, I am a little bit lazy.

Anyway, readers, I've come to the decision that Sybil, Disobedient should simply have a home of its own. Worry not, though, kids-- Shibow will still happily be complaining in posts for the folks over at AAVRmag. This particular venture just needed a little room to grow. So here's what we're going to do:

For now, the rooftop extravaganza will be put on hold. Sorry Jay, logistically now is simply not the best time to be rotisseried on top of your building. It will happen, though. Brown girl's honor.

In addition, I've decided to change things up a bit: already-suggested dares will be listed below, and I will select one at random each week. Please feel free to keep daring, though. I'm always fielding new requests :).

Here is a list of all dares previously suggested by a few loons I happen to know:

1. Jay Patel (already chosen, and on hold for the time being, but here for your amusement) :

I dare you to live on the roof of my building for a weekend. Friday night to Sunday mid day.

1655 Union Street
Brooklyn, NY 11213

You must stay on the roof rain or shine. (I will give you 10 bathroom passes for 10 minutes each, no showering or brushing)

2. Darren Barany (my cousin, who obviously hates me a little bit):

This was from shibow’s fb page…she tried to doge this one, but here it is:

I dare you to rent some roller skates and go to the band shell in central park, and rock some roller disco all amateur style with the regulars. THAT would make for a great article…not to mention the visuals would be amazing. A red, white, and blue headband would be a must.

I think you’d become a regular by the end of the session. They’re there in full regalia on Saturdays and Sundays in the afternoon.

Good luck, and may the force be with you.

3. Grace:

Sybil, I dare you to do a stand up comedy act.

4. Jeremy (my friend, who obviously loves me a little bit)

i dare you to… take a shot of alchy every 2 hours for a whole day. from the time you wake up to the time you go to sleep. choose a day that’s somewhat busy and don’t punk out with a day that u stay at home all day.

this is pretty much an easy one that you can probably do right away… because it doesn’t require much planning. and plus, it’ll set you up for a fun and happy day. you alchy. HAH.

more to come, and since there’s NO LIMIT to how many dares you have to do, the possibilities are endless.

5. Sylvapotamus:

I dare you to dress up as a clown and ride around town in your bicycle

I’ll come up with a better one as soon as I think of it
;]

6. Helen Huang:

I dare you to plant something in a public park! Tomatoes or something...
or
Give 20 strangers hugs within a week and document it..
or
Get into Improv!

7. Mel:

I dare you to go on a date with someone from the personals section on craigs list, Justin's* choice of course.

Now, as most of you can probably already tell, I'm leaning towards Jeremy's dare. No, I am certainly not a lush, but I am a bit curious as to how this one will affect me. Thoughts?

Anyway, thanks to everyone who's gotten into the spirit of this crazy idea. Please keep up the comments/suggestions. 'Til next time, cub scouts.

* Justin would set me up with Bobby Brown if he could. I think we may need to tweak this part of the dare slightly, if it is chosen.
