Hello!

My character is stuck in a day that keeps repeating itself and is trying to figure out what she can do. Every day the Tuesday starts over and she is the only one to remember what happened the day before. In the midst of trying to fix all this, she takes a round off and decides to have some fun, but how?

What would you do if you had one whole day to do anything and not worry about the consequences?

thanks!

I saw the title to this thread and a scrolling marquee of "rob a bank rob a bank rob a bank" began racing before my eyes. But now I get it, we're going a bit Groundhog Day.

So, I would totally run naked through the city centre. I mean, it'd be hilarious and liberating and interesting and hilarious again. Maybe I'd take a video camera with me to record people's reactions. Eventually I'd be arrested and perhaps referred to a psychiatrist but, like you say, I'd wake up and start the day all over again, and this time with a spring in my step. Although wouldn't it suck if running naked was the one thing that broke the cycle and I was stuck with an arrest record for 'indecent exposure' or whatever it would be?!

Good luck :)

I'd jump off a building.
then I'd drive a car through a mall
then I'd pee on an electric fence
then step on a crack to see if it came true.
forge a lottery ticket
tell the woman that I knew as a girl in high school how despertly I loved her.

and make it up from there.

I'd go skydiving or parasailing (probably parasailing) or something that would be close to flying. I've always been afraid of heights a bit, but I've always wanted to fly (like a bird, not like a passenger on an airplane). So if I knew I wouldn't die or get hurt...I'd go parasailing! Yeah! :D

I want to kick a certain president and vice president in the leg really really hard with my steel toe Docs. I could do that for days.

I like to think of myself as a pretty moral person, but if I were capable of doing anything and having NO consequences then I would look at doing the things I'm not allowed to right now. Tell the random women I meet how incredible I think they look. Be bold enough to make an advance at one. Rob a bank, steal a car. Try drugs. If there are no consequences, then anything is open.

Drive on the railroad tracks.
Find out the top speed of my car.
Go to the library and spend the day reading.
Ditto the bookshop.
Take my guitar out into the street and play to the passers-by.
Ditto in the library or bookshop.
Win the lottery.
Cook. Eat. Cook. Eat. Cook. Eat. Oh, joy...
Climb the north face of the Eiger (or maybe something a little closer to home and less challenging ...)
Talk to strangers
Stay in bed all day
Pull a sickie from work.
Watch groundhog day.

Yes, it might be tempting to try stuff that's illegal or immoral, and no-one would know, but you'd still have to live with yourself afterwards - you'd always remember what you'd done, and what that said about who you were. And while drugs etc. might not have any physical effect on you, you could still get mentally addicted to them. That might limit my choices a little.

And the most annoying thing? Every day, no matter how many words I'd written, I'd lose them all at the end of the day ... Aaaaaarrrrgggghhh!!!
