research for a story, or, things i get in my email

Last week, I posted a video, and oops, I forgot to record any sound. Ha ha. Hilaaaarious. The following day, someone on YouTube sent me a message asking if I took requests. I looked at the person’s username and I thought it was a friend of mine. And sure, I will take requests from my friends. (I also feel free to ignore requests, because I am so unpredictable!) Anyway, the request came, and I read it, and I realized that oh, this person is not the person I thought it was. Oops. My bad!

But this person says he’s (?? I’m assuming) a writer and is working on a story. I am nothing but sympathetic to writers, since I am one myself. Sorta. I mean, I don’t make a living at it or anything, though maybe someday I will, if I can ever figure out how to revive the practice of having an artist’s patron. I think, at least in that respect, I’d be okay with being patronized. I would write flattering things about my patron, and always mention how my patron has really great hair (even if my patron didn’t actually have really great hair — that’s the trick, you see — because everybody wants to believe they have great hair), and I’m getting sidetracked by my imaginary patron’s luscious locks. My god, I just want to run my fingers through them.

Still sidetracked.

Anyway! This person who requested I make a new video, he (??) told me he wanted to know my response to some questions for this sci-fi story. I’ve read the questions several times, and, oh gosh, I JUST DON’T KNOW. But I’m nothing if not helpful (that’s what people say all the time, “Oh, that Jamelah, SHE IS SO HELPFUL”), so I thought perhaps I would bring the questions to a wider audience, and perhaps together, we would be able to help this writer guy out with his research for his story.

So. Here are the questions:

Im working on a sci-fi story and I just wanted to know what you would do if you were on of my character in it.

So can you answer these question on your next video:

1) you were home one day and you discover a city of tiny people(2-3 inches in height) have been stay in your house for a while, what would you do?

2)what would you say to them?

3)would you like the idea of mini- size people in your house? Explain

4)would you play with them? If so would you be mean or nice?

5) would you tell other people about them? If so who?

6)would you teased them?

7) what else do you think you would do?

*** on the flip side***

8 ) Later you find out they were planning to take over your house and property and throw you out, what would you do then? Explain.

9) would you go to war with them and crush them all? If so, how?

10) would you capture them all and just keep them as pets? If so would you make them do choirs like painting your toe nails and give you foot massages?

11) what else would you think you would do if that happen? Explain

I do really like the idea of having a mini choir. I was in a choir once. It was a children’s choir, so we were like a mini choir too. I was 8. I had a solo and everything. Here are the lyrics to my solo: “I can sing with one note. Sing a song with one note. Who needs more if they have one note?” And I was the only kid who could actually just sing one note. All those other kids, they tried to be melodious, but not me. I could sing in monotone like nobody’s business! So there! Anyway, because I am obviously such an expert on choirs, I don’t know what this has to do with painting the toenails of others, because in all of my extensive choral experience, I never once had to give anybody a pedicure. I mostly just stood there and sang.

So… yeah. What would you do if you found a city of mini-size people living in your house? Discuss. Please. It’s for ART.
