Cross ruled? Lab books? Please do explain!
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't write on graph paper, my brain gets confused.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Yep, bringing a 'lil spiral then buying something pretty in Europe sounds like the way to go.

Oh, cool. Only our math books were graph paper. Well, not the fine graph -- .5cm increments, not 1mm. God, we had such paper rules in school. They controlled that more than the uniforms.

Who? moi??
I carry the little 3" x 5" notebooks for random thoughts, addresses of people I meet, records of how much a trinket cost (for customs), odds and ends. Also if I am traveling with someone and sharing expenses, how much each of has spent for dual things, like meals, lodging, etc.
These little memory joggers are wonderful years later. Also money conversions. I find out how much the currency is worth in my familiar money (dollars) so I can bargain or shop. On Oct 1, lordy knows what year, the British pound was worth 1.473 dollars. 35 pounds was $51.56.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Remembering the paper fixations from school during the first nine years of my life (pre-USA), and shuddering. I thought I'd been unlucky about the fixations on size and weight...
Teppy! New topic?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
graph paper
Yes, that is what I meant. I don't think all notebook paper is like this, but it seemed like much more of it was than wasn't.
(Until last year, my permanent currency conversion was 1 pound = $1.50, more or less. Last year, I discovered that it's more like $1.85, which was depressing.)

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Topic topic topic....
Challenge #61 (two people in a small space; written [or not] in a genre) is now closed.
Challenge #62 comes from a confluence of little things that inspired me, including the "easy listening" radio station that's on in the office, as well as a note on my computer reminding me to listen to Fresh Air this afternoon, to hear Christian Bale talk about being Batman.
Anyway. Challenge #62 is the air we breathe.
Go for it.

drabbling
There's less of it now than where I grew up. I'm near a mile high here (Denver's not that unique). I thought I'd die those first few months, sea-level lungs wringing air out of an attenuated atmosphere.
I went home later. My mother looked over at me. "Are you breathing?"
"Of course I'm breathing, why?"
"I can't tell."
"Mountain people, you know. We get down in this lowland soup and we only have to breathe every other minute."
I ran up some stairs without breathing hard. It was nice.
