sarakingdom Posted October 23, 2016 Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 I have big RL upheaval and stuff to do, so I don't really have time for a full challenge. But I do need to keep on track with all the stuff that needs to get done. So this is a very simple challenge: 5 points for any fitness crap I do (workout, yoga, meditation, in bed on time) n points for getting the big things finished n points for any particularly Oggish behavior (including, superior witching, drinking, swearing, terrorizing family members, etc.) Also, there will be intensely NSFW songs. Intensely. Really not safe for many people at all. 9 Quote I felt like I could run forever, like I could smell the wind and feel the grass under my feet, and just run forever.

sarakingdom Posted October 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Week 0: Day 1 Now for the scariest part of a Nanny Ogg challenge: folk music. Folk music. Also, it's NSFW. This is the cleanest of the ones I've collected, and it's not that clean. It's, how shall I put it, about a gentleman's polite courtship of the animal kingdom. But it is a traditional song for singing in pub when you're Nanny Ogg. Right. Onto the points. 5 points Black Ribbon 5 points Oggish hedonism 5 points Adulting Fetch Quest #1 completed 10 points Adulting Fetch Quest #2 completed 10 points Adulting Fetch Quest #3 started 5 points Adulting Fetch Quest #4 started 5 points Adulting Fetch Quest #5 started ----------- 45 points 2 Quote I felt like I could run forever, like I could smell the wind and feel the grass under my feet, and just run forever.

"I'm not buying stuff till December, and don't really have free time till then", so, er, no. Not an option till December. (Major life stuff going on this challenge, which is why basically no challenge. I'm stupidly overstretched.) I think probably I should just, I dunno, try to earn something big over two challenges.
