The BookMooch Journals

This is an interactive Bookmooch journal based on the party game “Eat Poop You Cat” (a.k.a. Paper Telephone).

This is how it works:

1) Receive the journal, mark it received on Bookmooch. I suggest you already relist it on your inventory at this point as well.

2) Open it on the first page after the paper clips and look at what the last persons entry.

3) a. If it’s a picture, write one sentence describing what you see on the picture on the next double page. Obviously feel free to illustrate, however be careful not to give the next person any clues on how to turn your sentence into a picture. b. If it’s a sentence, illustrate the sentence with a picture on the next double page. Don’t repeat the sentence (or parts of it) though, so that the next person has to interpret by themselves.

4) You may now remove the paper clips and look at how the original contribution has evolved. Before sending the journal along, though, put all pages before your entry back together with the paper clips. (This now includes one more page than when you got it, since you are also covering the last person’s entry.)

5) All of this shouldn’t take you longer than two weeks.

Now, if you haven’t done it yet, relist the journal and send it along promptly when somebody asks for it.
When the journal is full, please contact me (BmId: hanhel; hanhel@gmail.com) so that I can mooch it back from you.
This journal is meant to travel together with Volume 2 of “Eat Poop You Cat” (http://bookmooch.com/m/detail/BM129991933788719975). One of them starts with a picture, the other with a sentence, and I wanted each moocher to be able to add both words an illustrations.

The Internet has given us so many things – the ability to keep up with friends around the world, download movies quickly free of charge, and also… Internet Memes. The term Internet meme (pronounced /ˈmiːm/, rhyming with “cream”[1]) is used to describe a concept that spreads via the Internet.[2] The term is a reference to the concept of memes, although the latter concept refers to a much broader category of cultural information (definition from Wikipedia).

Lolcats. Bed Intruder. Hipster Hitler. Deal With It. Old Spice Guy and many more. Which is your favorite meme?
Please don’t alter anyone else’s works, and please relist quickly.

On 8th March International Women’s Day is celebrated, so I began to create this journal. This is a place to celebrate a woman who has had a profound influence on you – please restrict your entry to one woman per journaller.

The UN global theme for 2011 IWD 2011: Equal access to education, training and science and technology: Pathway to decent work for women. The 2011 aims of the UK, Welsh Assembly Government: Bridging the Generational Gap.

Write about a woman you know or knew whilst growing up, or someone ina field of interest who inspired you. Whether it be Marie Curie or the school crossing patrol lady just write about who and what inspired you about this person or what they achieved.

Please remember time and effort are invested in journals by their creator and journallers. Send the journal onwards by keeping within the two weeks guideline for making an entry, relisting and sending promptly. Make sure the person mooching from you understands their obligations as a journaller.The journal forum is a good place to advertise journals you have: http://bookmooch.com/m/forum/bookmooch_journals/
