Fill-in-the-Blank Summer Adventure

We know you don't want to think about it, but eventually you're going to have to go back to school. Sorry, sorry, SORRY! When you get back, everyone's going to be swapping stories, talking about their amazing vacation adventures rock-climbing, kite-surfing, or exploring the Model Train Museum. And if your own summer was boring, you might be worried about how to respond. "Uh, I didn't shower for a whole week...or two." Yeah, that's not gonna impress anyone. "I became addicted to soap operas." Seriously, not something you want to share.

Fear not, victims of the somnambulate summer: We have a solution for you. Create your own No-Way-That's-Awesome Summer Story with the SparkNotes Summer Adventure Mad Lib!

We've put together a great tale, something that will put everyone else's antics to shame (unless, of course, they happened to meet Daniel Radcliffe.) In order to complete this Mad Lib, some of you might need a parts-of-speech refresher. If that's the case (and there's no shame in admitting that you don't remember the difference between an adverb and an adjective), check out this handy dandy guide. Better yet,  just leave it open in another window, grab a piece of paper and a pen, and write down words for each of the following categories:

1. Physical activity, in the past tense

2. Title of a book or magazine

3. Name of a female C-list celebrity

4. Local amusement park, real or imaginary

5. Exclamatory expression

6. Adjective

7. Animal, plural form

8. Name of a musician or band

9. Verb associated with motion, in the past tense

10. Adjective associated with the weather

11. Adjective

12. Verb, in the past tense

13. Name of a celebrity you might have a crush on

14. Exclamatory expression

15. Gerund

16. Something you eat

17. Verb

18. Exotic location

19. Adjective

20. Lavish gift

21. Method of torture

22. Event

Now plug the words in below and voila! If you don't like the first result, go back and try again with weirder words. Seriously, we don't mind if you rig the story for humor.
