LOOKS LIKE I'M A NEW COLUMNIST FOR THE BAY AREA REPORTER! Mwahahahahahaaaaaaaaaa!
They'll give me $25 bucks an article. Not much, but a reward nonetheless. The last paper I worked for only gave me $6 bucks an article (and they still owe me.) Not that I have any room to brag about anything since I just spelled warehouse wrong in the last entry, as I wrote it at 6am, lol.
My first deadline isn't until January, so I have plenty of time to formulate my articles and opinions, blah blah blah. It's an ongoing thing, so whenever I think of something to write about, I send it to one of the two editors and they'll decide when it gets put up...but nonetheless, $25 bucks is a sweet deal for just ranting about stuff I hate, as I do that in my SG journals for free every day, haha. My first article will be about overt eroticism of lesbians in the media. I will totally annihilate "Girls Gone Wild," it'll be more like, "When Lesbos Attack!" I've determined that I will either write under a pseudonym or under "The Bionic Femme."
YES! I've already been published three times before, but never paid for it. (Well, when one of my essays was published they gave me a $50 gift certificate to Barnes and Nobles which I gleefully accepted, but it still wasn't cash...) I guess the already established columnists only get paid $25 bucks too! I'm so happy. This will be an EXCELLENT experience on a resume when I apply for more columnist jobs in the future. Nothing else in my life seems to be changing, but my writing seems to be getting better at least. It's like i'm gaining EXP. points and before I could only slay imps, but now I can slay...wyverns.
Couldn't take the set as the guards found my photographer while she was setting up, before I even got there. Ooops. Ha. My photographer is also the lead singer of a band, and they'll be doing some industrial/goth/bondage show, her partner asked me to either be a backup gogo dancer or a tamborine player. I will do either of these things, as they are both hilarious.
Chix were mad hittin' on me at the interview and one girl just randomly ran up to me on the street and said, "Can I take you out to dinner" without even introducing herself. lol. I said sure, why not. After all, I'm going cheap. Ask and ye shall receive.
Guess the fact I was dressed up like a combination of posh spice, a punky french whore, and your mom didn't hurt my odds. lol.
My "8 reasons" piece will be workshopped in class on monday. I'm excited. I thought the other girl being workshopped on the same day would kick my ass as she is my school's newspaper editor, but her story really blew. It was about how her boyfriend drives over to her house, tickles her in the stomach, tells her she's beautiful, and takes her to the beach. **Barfs all over shoes.** Conflict? Where is it? I see none.
Every time a couple breaks up, an angel gets its wings.
