It’s Weirdo Friends Day!
Welcome to another wacky, totally fictional interview of a ‘Weirdo Friend.’ Today’s story features Ymara Ecrof Tency, best tv watcher. (Video of this interview is coming soon…)
We met Ymara a few weeks ago and learned her big dream (if you can call it that) is to be ‘the best tv watcher ever.’ Before she started playing The Champion Creator Game, she watched television on all six of her tvs anytime she was not eating, sleeping or in school.
Let’s check in with her on Day 30 of the game and see if she’s learned anything about who she is and what she wants.
*****
YMARA: I didn’t think The Champion Creator Game was going to be any fun at all. Having to do a mission everyday that made me read and write answers to questions sounded like too much work. I wanted to poof, be a champion as soon as my parents bought the game for me. I didn’t want to, you know, put any effort into it. I only started playing because my parents made me.
I’m glad they did. I’m learning I’m a more interesting person than a lot of people I watch on TV.
Bonnie Jean: Are you living your dream of being the best tv watcher ever?
YMARA: I am a good tv watcher, but being the best tv watcher ever doesn’t really give me a chance to be passionate about something. I’m not even sure what my passions are because I’ve been so busy watching tv that I haven’t had a chance to think about my dreams and what my strengths are and Dream Doer stuff like that.
My goal for Day 30 was to give away one of my tvs. But I gave away two instead. My neighbors were really happy. By Day 60, I want to give away two more, so I’ll only have two left.
Bonnie Jean: Why will you keep playing The Champion Creator Game?
YMARA: I have to learn how to be more focused and more active. And I can’t wait to find out what my big dream really is. If you need help figuring out what your big dream is or figuring how to live your big dream, you should totally play the game, too.

We’ll check back in with Ymara in several weeks to see if she’s able to hit her Day 60 target. She does have a few weird quirks (which you’ll be able to see in the video of the interview that’s coming soon), but as long as she follows through with the missions, she’ll be able to find a way to do what she dreams.
Weird quirks or not, you can find a way to do what you dream, too. Life is really much more fun when you set goals and take action to make them happen. So…
Join the Dream Doer League. Play The Champion Creator Game. And DO what you DREAM!
To Your Dreams,
Bonnie Jean
