Facebook Killed My Blog
Friday, June 11th, 2010Here’s how blogs happen:
People have stuff they want to share.
People create blogs so they can share interesting information and photos with others
People read blogs.
That’s pretty much it, but since Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking sites have become so popular, the need for a blogger to share her or his thoughts has become superfluous. [...]
Fill In the Gaps
Saturday, May 2nd, 2009I’m ripping off a project that another blogger ripped off of another blogger who ripped it off of someone else. Or something like that. I found it here, and I’ve been intrigued with it ever since.
As an English major, I am utterly annoyed when someone quotes or mentions some great piece of literature [...]
Employed
Tuesday, August 5th, 2008I’m officially employed again, or at least I will be after I fill out the requisite mountain of paperwork. I just accepted a position as a tutor at Wright State’s University Writing Center, where I will guide young collegiate minds through the challenges of academic writing. I’m hoping this will give me some insight as [...]
School’s Out
Thursday, June 12th, 2008I survived an entire year of college without medication and without beating up any obnoxious teenagers. Rock on!
Good Samaritan
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008Some days, I am simply appalled by the way human beings treat one another. Most days, really. But today I saw one of those things that restores your faith in your fellow human. I was leaving school and a man had pulled his car over to retrieve something from the road. At first I thought [...]
AIS
Friday, March 28th, 2008I know – two entries within 24 hours of one another. SO unlike me! However, I couldn’t help but share my wonderful news.
I am the recipient of Wright State University’s Adult Incentive Scholarship, a scholarship I was invited to apply for many months ago. I applied, since the scholarship awards tuition for [...]
C’est Fini!
Tuesday, March 18th, 2008I am officially on Spring Break, after finishing my last two finals this morning! Join me in dancing a jig:
*dances jig*
And to the donkey’s butt who parked his ridiculously large pickup truck that is SO OBVIOUSLY trying to compensate for something else so close to my Jeep that I had to climb in through [...]
Oooh, Shiny
Tuesday, February 12th, 2008Check this craziness out.
I’ve really never seen anything like it — as you can see, we did not get the predicted 5-8 inches of snow that would shut down schools and businesses, but we did get a really strange combination of snow and ice that kept Kory home from school and closed Wright State for [...]
I’m a crappy blogger.
Wednesday, January 23rd, 2008I vowed to be a better blogger this year, and, as predicted by Mr. Fantoni, school has gotten in the way. He would know — I remember how I used to ask what he thought about this movie or that movie, and he’d reply “that came out while I was in law school. I never [...]
