This week I really felt like participating in
Theme Thursday… So on Sunday I went to check out the theme for the week… Draft… Hmmm, I started thinking… I didn’t feel really familiar with this word… It’s not that I didn’t know what it meant, I was just not sure how to use it. Actually, I don’t think it’s a word I ever have used to tell you the truth. (Now, this isn’t my language, I should tell you that, in case there are readers here who don’t know me already…) Anyway, my mind started spinning its way around the word “draft”. I was thinking “cold”, “chill”, “football”, “a writer’s first draft”, “beer”… I was having serious trouble focusing. I wanted very much to write something catchy, scary and chilling. So eventually I did what I usually end up doing when something bugs me enough – I googled it. And I found something kind of interesting. And I also completely stole it, from
here.
According to the Urban Dictionary there is something called:
1.
Ghost draft
(n.) A draft that a ghost creates using a ghost fan.
Often directed towards victims with mustaches.
"Dude! I totally caught a ghost draft yesterday!!!"
"Awessoome!"
Now, isn’t that interesting? Now off to google what a ghost fan is… (I think I may qualify as one, to tell you the truth…). So until next week (why, yes, I think I might be willing to participate again… and this time maybe actually write something)…
Peace and love/ Jo.
Haha...this was a tough one, wasn't it? Only my second TT, so I'm hoping they get easier!
SvaraRaderaYou totally took this in a direction I wasn't expecting ("directed at guys with mustaches"!!!), and I am starting my day with a very big smile courtesy of your TT. Thanks! (and thanks for stopping by my blog as well!)

they do get easier. this one was a little difficult. the ghost draft made me think of Lonely Bones...but the moustaches now that is a new one on me...perhaps i need to shave...happy tt!
SvaraRaderaYep it was tough as you can tell from my Magpie! I still enjoyed what you wrote anyhows & I think we can all relate to it! Have a great day!
SvaraRaderaI do love your line of thinking, tripping from one ping to another. -J
SvaraRaderait is chilly draft,
SvaraRaderabut you have done it wittily.
Happy Thursday!
thank you for the feedback on my work!
Jo, you have found a totally unique approach to the theme word. I love that ghost drafts are "directed at guys with mustaches," especially that they didn't specify "men with mustaches." Too funny. I briefly (thank goodness) had a step-mother who would shiver occasionally, and then say, "a rabbit must have run across my grave." Ha! More likely a ghost draft. She had a major mustache!
SvaraRaderaP.S. I am continually astonished at your command of an language that is not your own. It's better than that of many born to it.
This has inspired me to grow a mustache.
SvaraRaderaAgree, I thought this one was rather difficult this week. You did a great job, though, and I learned something!
SvaraRaderaOne is afraid of ghosts.
