Shit List

Oh my happiness is complete! Turns out my Grudge Book (TM, patent pending) concept has gone forth and spawned an evil twin: the Shit List pad, made by those clever peeps at Knock Knock. On reflection, I still prefer my freeflowing Grudge Book format which allows for creative Grudging, unconstrained by lists, scores and tick boxes. But I must say I do like some of the thought processes the Shit List introduces in to the art of Grudging: the marks out of five for severity is inspired and the Plan of Attack is sheer genuis:
  • Confront
  • Stew
  • Talk shit
  • Ignore
  • Avenge
I really feel this takes Grudging to the next level and I admire its action oriented approach to dealing with acts of Grudge. Whilst Grudging may be in its infancy in terms of being a recognised art, it’s plain to see that it is evolving quickly and, as per the Shit List, with a surprising degree of sophistication. I can’t help but think that Grudging is about to go mainstream and I’m a little bit chuffed to have been part of its inception. My mother would be so proud, I’m sure.
Those Blog Camp 1.5 girls will be ecstatic when they read this post as they each received their own, personalised Grudge Book from me over the weekend. Get them! Early adopters! Here are my pretties, all wrapped up for the girls and ready to Grudge:
No doubt there will now be a mad dash to wrap them in acid free paper and stash them in a safe place to flog on Ebay in years to come. But the person who stands to make bazillions is Spot who won my 30 Secrets giveaway last month and received the very first personalised Grudge Book (her photo below). Hope all you ladies have kept the original wrapping, it’s sure to add to the value. Oh, and remember me when you’re rich and I’m famous won’t you? Or I’ll GRUDGE ya!

    You and MrSpud are in my Grudge book and I think you know why!!!!

    You can rectify the situation by sending me something wonderful (again!), I’m getting rather sad at the lack of joyful things in my mailbox these days!!!!

    kissy kissy

    Must get me a grudge book. My first entry would be an upstairs neighbor I had in Italy (14 years ago!). She walked on marble floors with high heels from early morning until well after 11 p.m. I confronted her saying I had small children who went to bed early. The arrogant cow said it was her apartment and she could do as she pleased. I proceeded to pockmark the ceiling by thumping a broom at her. Finally I moved. Grrrrrrrrrrrr

    Is there a chance you will share a grudge book entry one day as a blog post? Or, perhaps you have already and I missed it? I love Moleskines….I have skads of them hanging about, in drawers, tucked in my purse, stuffed in the glove box of the car…..I horde them.

    The Shit List is funny, but, I like the grudge book idea, MUCH better.

    ;o)

    I must get one of these! A Grudge Book, I mean — I much prefer the free-flowing method and also the opportunity to draw unflattering pictures. I realize now that the real problem has been that I don’t really keep my grudges organized.

    OOoooo, I want a grudge book from Spud. I would cherish it and you would NEVER be an entry :)

    we saw it here first, lady! no amount of shit lists can come close to the original grudge book idea.

    Those are FANTASTIC!

    I guess I have to check out this grudge book of yours, sounds like fun!

    like Shannon I would love to read some entries of either book and list. my German sense of humour apparently is not qualified enough to really understand how it works… or I have too many nice people around me… excluding our direct neighbour, whom even grown-ups here just call WITCH. so it would be boring and of course just give her too much attention if I filled a precious Moleskin just with her….

    Me, too. Me, too! I knew you when. I LOVE that you wrap with Lauren Child characters. Don’t you just adore her?
