To me, Krystal=tiny hamburger. I keep picturing a tiny, cartoon hamburger whining about not getting the internship.
Simon: I swear when it's appropriate. Kaylee: Simon, the whole point of swearing is that it ain't appropriate.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

So why haven't you taken a pricey apartment and invited us all to come along with you?
I'm terribly thoughtless? Not sure how I'll balance 30 jobs in two states and two provinces, but at least the F2F opportunities will be considerable.
She's writing up her experience in getting rejected for the internship she really wanted for the paper that gave her an internship?
And ensuring, if her original application antics hadn't, that she'll never work for SPIN as long as she lives.

I'm in the mood to write to her, but I'd like to paste that up in my LJ for further mockery, first.
It just begs for the mocking, doesn't it?
She's writing up her experience in getting rejected for the internship she really wanted for the paper that gave her an internship? That's weird.
Yeah. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.
I mean, there's a very good reason I whined about not finaling in the writers contest on Bitches rather than, say, a board where I knew all the judges for that contest were likely to hang out.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
And ensuring, if her original application antics hadn't, that she'll never work for SPIN as long as she lives.
Well, why not? After all, her passion for SPIN is waning.

Krystal Grow? Maybe she should have applied for the internship at Penthouse.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Nor for anything else bigger than the North Adams Transcript, I'm guessing.

Oh god. She's one of the "I'm so smart everyone should love me and if they don't they are stupid and it is all their fault and I'm blameless." Scary.
Allyson, no need for a lecture. It happens. Just be glad you're not on a pretty full bus in a third world country and your backpack is in the luggage compartment. Not that that every happened.

Exactly. Bad-mouthing someone in the industry publicly? Not a good idea all around.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Oh, pretty please?? I'll give you a tampon.
Ohmigod, this made me laugh.
I think our friend Krystal was raised with the notion that "everyone gets a trophy" even if they suck.
She's also a crappy writer.
Yes, write to her I shall. She needs to throw herself on the bed and cry one more time, just for me.

If I only had a brain...
I got the cite from Romenesko. Heh, heh. She is NEVER going to get another job in the industry, I'm guessing.
