I have several comments about this. First, remember that small local papers are in the business of making advertisement money, and generally the entertainment sections go unread. They are filler for the most part, just there so that the papers can fill up space and pretend to be focused on the local community. Second, that doesn't matter because a tiny section of the readers will actually care about what you write, and even small things like those makes your writing important and may get you noticed in your area (NY metro) where everybody and their grandmother wants to be noticed. The point is that you would be noticed by major publications (although if you're writing about film be prepared to be ignored or, if you're lucky, shit upon by all the journalists) so you'll be under pressure to distinguish your voice and perfect your writing. That's a good thing. Third, being published anywhere -especially in print- feels awesome and so I wish you the best of luck getting your foot in the door.

You'll do great. :) Do you know which review(s) you'll be submitting?

From my point of view of somebody who doesn't write all too well, you'll do just fine. You have a fantastic grasp on the English language and you know how to convey your thoughts effectively through multiple paragraphs. Nothing to be nervous about, you should be excited if anything because you're going to be able to present yourself through writing and be paid for it.

Kind of an awkward night as it was just me and the obnoxious clique of dumbfucks that don't do anything, so I stayed an extra hour at work to make sure everything was done properly.

sigh.

Honestly, I just want to get my foot in the door and have a portfolio consisting of things that were actually published. I could care less what people think.

Probably the Her review or Inside Llewyn Davis. I'm going to be editing the **** out of them to make sure they're perfect.

Thanks a lot. That made me feel good. I don't have high hopes of them actually hiring me but it couldn't hurt to inquire and show them my stuff. I actually told the editor I didn't expect to be paid right away and he said if we hire you then I didn't have anything to worry about cause they'll pay me. Being paid to write is what I've always wanted so if they hire me I'm going to lose my ****.

We'll see what happens.

Congrats Exo!

While I won't attempt to tell you that you shouldn't be nervous, because that's not the way things work, I hope you can go in with a clear enough head to really appreciate and make the most of the the opportunity. The main thing I take away from your post is....how the hell did you just walk in and get an opportunity like that? Opportunities like that for writing jobs just dont exist, in my experience at least. I'm completely in shock. Honestly, I don't think you have much to lose in that sense.

WTG Exo! You never know what you can accomplish until you try, and thats 99% of being successful. Most people are afraid to even take that first step.

I literally walked in and asked to talk to the editor. Asked him if he had any freelance work he needed to be done and he said he did. It's one of the ballsier things I've done. Hopefully it works out.

Poor Old Vladimir Putin, He really hates Gays and his name is an anagram of Valid Rim Input.

:laughing:

Got into a nonphysical barfight of sorts last night. Stood on a chair and yelled feminist things.

Were you fighting with the chair?

It was being a cunt.

Then it had it coming

But she walked all over it!

And rightly so

My day was awesome.

It was really busy, so I was definitely overloaded at work, but a few excellent things really sweetened my day:

- Much of my work in terms of recovery was still intact from the day before
- I had a perfect closing team (no slackers - it was a miracle!)
- One particular waste of oxygen quit her job today, so I'll never have to see her stupid face again

It was just a great day to be at work.

Excuse me, your holy Butheadness, but what was that that you actually tried to express? I get an image of you dancin' with an ufo and then ending up as a drunk on the corridor of darkness, but I guess you were trying to say something else? I kindly despite your grammar, sir. You have fallen from the grace of mine so you shall be disgraced.

Thanks both... I had a good day. I didn't get drunk so no hangover the next day :D

Met a girl last night, she knows my flatmate. Or my flatmate has something of an obsession with her.
They had hooked up a few times. My flatmate probably thought that meant that they had something and was the reason he sent her so many messages and referred to her as 'babe' a lot.

Anyhow, I get talking to her and she wants to cut ties with my flatmate. But doesn't know how to do it. So I offer to friendzone my own flatmate as her.
Of course the use of the term 'friendzone' as previously discussed on here is an odd one, as she didn't want to actually be friends at all. She just wanted shot of him.

Being the wordsmith I am I tried to let the guy down as lightly as possible but he did not take it at all well and seemed quite angry. He said he was sick of being friendzoned and being told he's too nice and he just wanted her to delete his number and not talk to him.
Win/Win right? Meh, I felt that he deserved a little better than that. Some reassurance even if it was somewhat insincere.

So what did I do? I went back to the girls flat with her. Ugh, even when I try to be nice and do the right thing I end up doing the wrong thing. I just have a ridiculous knack for getting myself in these type of situations.
Have been hiding in my room all of today hoping this thing just blows over.

Bro code violation

Mad shady bro

Seriously man **** you, what a horrible friend you are.

Hello all. I mentioned my long time crush Kristy a few times in here, and out of nowhere she said "I bet you'd be spectacular in bed Tim" and "I've always wondered what it'd be like to have sex with you". Needless to say, you don't expect that coming from your high school crush you were always just friends with. Well, I decided just in case that I'd buy condoms. Not only for this, but for future reference too since I'll be going to a real college later this year. I did a solo test with some Trojan ones, and I knew something wasn't right. They kept rolling themselves up and felt tight. I didn't know that was abnormal. I knew they were long enough, and I know they're stretchy, so I didn't think much of it. After a few minutes it started to hurt and it took forever to get it off. I ended up with an ache in my torso for hours. It felt like I had blue balls, even though I didn't.

Long story short, after some research, I realized I need a bigger size because of girth, which I never really thought much about. Everyone always talks about length so that's all I paid attention to. So now I was curious if any of you guys had any experience with: Trojan Magnum XL, Lifestyles Kyng, Durex Love, Lifestyles Skyn Large, Durex XXL, or Trustex Extra Large condoms. I really don't feel like shelling out money again. I already emailed Trojan telling them they shouldn't just put all of their stuff on a display without any information. It's like you're just expected to know what to get. It's not like fuggin clothing. There's no explanation. Just "hey these are normal, these are snug, these are bigger, these have weird lube on them that make you feel like clouds, these taste like roast beast", etc. It's bull**** for newbies like me.

You should be good with Lifestyles KYNG. They are pretty roomy for girth size.

If length ends up being the issue go with One The Legend. It has similar girth size as KYNG but accommodates for length.

man if i wore condoms those would be the ones i picked, sound ****ing awesome

Thank you.

Personally, I've reached the opinion that it was neither right nor wrong. In doing this I have retained a neutral level of morality.

I stole a bunch of paper and junk and started a local zine.

We had a huge sale today. A "pre-sale". We're doing the same thing tomorrow.

As the regular fitting room attendant, I am exhausted and dreading tomorrow.

Also I had to deal with an irritating child climbing all over my rolling racks and saying "no" when I demanded her to get down.

I later learned that she was .... "special".

But it didn't piss me off any less.

Special how?

Special like retard special?

Excellent! Thanks for the tip. So far, those and the Trustex sound like the best bet.

They may actually exist, possibly.

manky u r tryin really hard to self justify and its kinda cringey to read so as a random internet guy I would suggest u stop for ur own sake

Today was pretty awesome. My phone has been all types of ****ed up for awhile now but it finally bit the dust on Friday. So I went to the Sprint Store this morning to weigh my options and I ended up only spending 30$ and I got an Iphone and a Tablet. Dope sheet yo

Ok a non drunk thing from me. Last nite I met a girl thru mutual friendd for a date. We really hit it off. She liked my witty sarcasm and occasional disregard for political correctness and I liked that she liked it. Good chemistry. Went dancing. Cool story brah

Like autistic special. She wasn't a downy or anything so I thought she was just a nasty little brat.

That's when you direct the parents to Petsmart to purchase a shock collar.

Could've been better, I guess. Drama at work isn't rad whatsoever. Just trying to wind down.
