Divergent Faction Challenge Week Two–Suck it Amity

Week Two in the Faction Challenge (inspired by Veronica Roth's debut novel DIVERGENT) has finally ended. How did I do during Amity Week?

Well, I ATE apples. So there's that. Oh, and I sang! Katy Perry's E.T., and One Potato Two Potato Three Potato Four. Which should really earn me extra points because it's a song about farm-y stuff.

That's one big ass potato

But by the end of the week, I pretty much wanted so say:  SUCK IT AMITY. I mean, I tried to be more understanding of others, especially the kids. I think I had some success. But there were moments when being understanding was QUITE a challenge. Like when the kids refused to stop yelling in the doctor's office while the doctor was trying to speak. Yeah, Amity pretty much bailed on me there.

My 3-yr-old struggled with Amity this week as well.  Example?  How about the time she walked down the stairs, eyed her older brother's elaborate Lincoln Log creation, and then kicked it over for no apparent reason…and she did it with a song in her heart.

My money's on the 3-yr-old

I'm pegging her for a Dauntless.

Also, I was hyper-aware of my non-Amity-like thoughts this week, even when I didn't act on them. I'm still trying to figure out if this is a good thing or a bad thing.

Overall, I guess I'd say that while Amity wasn't an unqualified fail like Abnegation, it also wasn't as simple an undertaking as I'd hoped.

But enough about me—how did everyone else do? Check the (continuously updated) links below and find out!
