Day 15 - Jacob, Remember to Look at this One for Story Ideas

Could I use some of this writing as internal narrative for a short story of some kind? Maybe I could note personal observations on here for a character profile. A slight mumbler who becomes incrementally more irritable as throughout the day he is consistently asked to repeat himself. I have some short story I semi-wrote a few years ago saved somewhere. I also have some script I wrote for a depressing dark sitcom based on ferry light entertainment. It's all coming together!

I'll title this entry as a reminder to myself so it doesn't get lost in the sea of stupid titles, like trying to remember which episode of the Blindboy podcast you want to recommend. At the end of this post will be an open ended list which, for the first time, will break the current routine of "done and move onto the next day". This can be my space for noting ideas. Or it can serve as some form of self-torture, a visual reminder mocking my lack of ideas.

Right, so... what traits could build a character profile? I'll add the one from earlier so the list won't be completely empty forever.

List of potential character traits:
- A slight mumbler who gets incrementally more irritable as throughout the day he is consistently asked to repeat himself
- All of a sudden out of nowhere a hostile feeling comes over him and he acts particularly misanthropic (sarcastic/snide comments, unresponsive etc)
- "It's back to pissing in bedside cups"

List of potential scenarios:
- Every time he walks past this certain house, the same 2 people (presumably who live there) are always outside next to a stupidly massive full shoe rack, really thoroughly cleaning shoes. Even in the middle of the night. This perplexed him. What's going on there?

- Barium swallow resulting in heavy poo which doesn't flush. Has to put hand in toilet and bin it
