Sunday 29 May 2011

So, I graduated from university.

It was great. I wore heels for the first time since an ill-advised night out in Barcelona four years ago, didn't bring band-aids, and forgot to eat before the ceremony. The speeches were really long (one lady wouldn't stop talking about her book club?) and the mortarboard made my head look even taller than it already is (which is very tall). But the upshot of all of this is that I didn't fall off the stage, and now I have a BFA.

Here is a picture of me eating pulled pork in the Creative Writing department after the ceremony:


I think it sums up my accomplishment pretty well.

So anyway, now I'm trying to write a novel. It's about a cat or something, and so far it's fifty pages long. From what I hear, they're generally supposed to be longer than that.

But what I thought was, it might make things easier for me if I had an alternate creative outlet that wasn't updating my facebook status. I've been doing some freewriting and short stories and whatnot, and soon I'll start writing comedy with some friends (I have friends), so I'll post here what I deem fit for public consumption. There will (theoretically) be writing, drawings, videos, and things in whatever other format it is possible to post on the internet. So probably no scratch-n-sniff :(

YET.

Maybe you will subscribe and comment and I will do the same for you and it will probably be great?

UP NEXT: a mostly un-sarcastic review of Oprah's final episode OR a short story about stoned teenagers in the summer time. Cast your votes in the comments.
