Talk of the Town Piece

The "Talk of the Town" piece Stranger than Fiction actually opened my eyes a bit. Although it wasn't a piece that was about serious matters, it was informative. Firstly, it made me wonder what other quirky groups and activities were on campus. I found myself walking around campus trying to determine if a certain guy or girl was in the Quidditch Club. I then realized that I've never seen a game played, and on such a small campus that surprised me. Anyway, I saw some odd looking people that could be pin pointed as someone that would be in Quidditch Club, but then I wondered if there were some closet Harry Potter lovers, that wouldn't be the stereotypical person that you'd think would be a part of the club. I saw a jock and imagined him being in the club, wasn't so sure if he was an ideal candidate. Those that I thought could possibly be in the club, I wondered which "house" they'd be in and why. The article didn't make me want pick up a stick and sign up for the club, but it did stick in my mind. The realization of this really made me think of what I could write about for my talk of the town piece. Would what I planned to write about stick in someone's mind? I don't need to change someone's life by what I have to say, but maybe if whatever I do say is interesting enough, it will remain in their thoughts as well.
