Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Erin job! Yay! If you need some advice on the journalism side, I was a newspaper reporter and editor and a university student publications adviser.
Useful phrases:
They won't sue you; they'll sue your parents.
Chronological order is almost never the best way to tell a story.
Most of the time, you can throw out the first paragraph.
There is no good substitute for "says" in attribution.
High school publications are not protected under the First Amendment.
Just because you can use 20 different fonts doesn't mean you should.
YAY for a job and a paycheck, Erin! My DH is off to KC this weekend, so I was thinking of you and how, since I was missing this trip, I'd not get to meet you (again). I'm also missing seeing an old friend who moved to Overland Park a year or so ago (who I haven't seen in 10 years). Boo on semesters starting and students coming back and me having to get ready for them!
Sox, are you back from your trip? or stealing Irish Internet? I suppose I could look it up in my email, but I'm feeling lazy.
Ginger's useful phrases are wonderful indeed.
yay for the job Erin and don't worry, you'll do great.
And maybe grow a few inches taller and get a deeper voice. (People STILL think I'm in high school. I'm 27!)
eh, fuck that noise. Yeah women who are taller and have deeper voices get more respect in college, but the students always pay more respect to men. That used to bug me, but then one day I said fuck it, I'll MAKE them respect me, and it worked.
Yay, Erin! That is great news. And those look like fun classes to teach.
No, I'm NOT a journalism major. Taught Newspaper or Yearbook? Nevah...
Well, I did create an award winning newsmagazine in High School. Ask me how! Or, rather, if you want any tips, feel free to ping.

So, #1 on speed dial, then?! Seriously, that's so good to know. I was thinking there would be some 'ffistas that would have some j-cred.
Sparky, that's too bad! Wasn't it you that loves a good limey gimlet like I do?
Edit: Hey, Hec-help, too! Awesome...

Yeah, I'm short and high-voiced, but I have worked out a serious stone-cold killer stare, and I walk like I'll stab you in the nuts with my little heels, so after a few weeks of taking no bullshit, there's a trickle-down.
Plus, I'm funny! It's hard to want to stab a teacher that makes you laugh.
My brain, she is tapioca after conference and cross-country travel. But yay, Erin on the job! I love Ginger's phrases to get you through the journo classes.
Photos from SF have started trickling in and I've discovered that a) pinks/burgundies/purples are indeed my colors and b) I seriously need to lay off the peanut butter M&Ms.
Cleans up okay
