I was just told that I have the skills to be an editor. By Karen Spears Zacharias: a successful writer and journalist.
That may not seem like a huge thing,  [...]

My Internet Rant

I believe it’s called “chatspeak”?
Abbreviating common words for Internet use, that is. Like “thx” and “plz.” I’m o.k. with common abbreviations like that. What bugs me is when people use it either as an excuse to not spell when they should be, or when people who don’t know how to spell use it, and make [...]

When was the last time you surprised yourself?

Well, I’d have to say within the last 30 seconds was the last time I surprised myself. I WAS working on the editorial I have to write for homework and totally forgot about it because blogging has become fun…and that doesn’t sound lame or anything. >.>

Reasons Why it Sucks to be Single

I’ve been thinking about a topic I want to write on for about a month now: 10 reasons why it sucks to be single. I haven’t been thinking about it constantly, but it’s always lurked at the back of my mind, rearing its head in my more solitary moments.

Just…WoW. And that was a terrible pun.

Despite being a self-proclaimed nerd, I have never spent any money on an online game. In fact, I usually spend my time making fun of the people who do. I’ve just never seen the logic in continually paying money for a game you’ve already bought.
That said, I am somewhat of a hypocrite: I play Flyff [...]

Yay, My Teacher Acknowledged Me

So, I’m pretty sure I’m not cut out for journalism. It’s just too hectic and the digging/research makes me feel like I’m invading someone’s privacy. I feel like PR is different because the people are usually willing to work with me and we’re working towards a common goal.

A Fun Little Quiz

So we took a fun little quiz in my Com class today, and I just thought I’d share to see how accurate other people think it is. For me, I see it being about 90% accurate.
You’ll need to copy and paste the three questions into a word-processing program to answer them. But without further ado~

Feature Story: Play! A Video Game Concert

I work at the school’s publicity center, but they never publish any of my stuff. It’s like digging a hole, then shoveling the dirt back into it. And I won’t have it. I’m going to publish my own press releases, feature stories, and all the other work that I’m doing for work and class because [...]
