Listen to me because I'm influential and whatnot

So I have this friend. Her name is Liz. I've talked about her before because I named her car once. Liz is awesome. Liz has a blog and a dream. She wants to review books. Isn't that awesome? I think it's super awesome.

The thing is though that there's this website you can sign up and they send you books and you can review them on your blog. Unfortunately, the masses of the internet are less than intelligent and therefore she doesn't have a huge fanbase for her blog. She should though. Because she's a talented writer and witty and awesome and really, Internet, you're kind of a jerk sometimes. Anyway, to be a reviewer, you need 30 followers on your blog, and as previously mentioned, Liz doesn't have that yet.

So that link is for her blog. On the bottom left corner of the screen there's a follow button. Click the button. Follow her blog. Read her posts. She's really amazing and I want to read her book reviews. Thanks, you're a peach (in a wheelbarrow).

p.s. I have 27 followers and I would maybe possibly also like to review books... so you know... follow me too if you want.

p.p.s. have another one of these, because it's my favorite

Another post in letter format because sometimes it's more fun

To whom it may concern, namely the four people using the ten-minute computers in the Talmage:

First of all, I would like to say to all of you that all I wanted was to simply print out a one-page reading assignment for my class that started in 14 minutes. After Waiting for approximately six of those minutes, I gave up and went to the library. It took me about one minute of computer time to print out my homework. I know that technically the allotted time is ten minutes, but seriously, you were all taking too long for ridiculous reasons. Here is why

Guy number one: This computer is right next to a printer. And yet there you are, casually checking your email as if you have all the time in the world. Go to the library or something. There are hundreds of computers there that have nobody waiting behind them.

Guy number two: Ok, so it seems like you want to print, so that is understandable at least. But I see you adding headings and footnotes and you're formatting and seriously did you write your whole paper on this thing? I feel like you could have written your name on the top earlier.

Girl: I felt bad for you for a second because your computer was slow and gmail was not loading for you. And then I saw you were using Internet Explorer. No wonder it wasn't loading. Go back to 1998 where you belong.

Guy number three: Are you seriously looking at code right now? Who does that?

So thank you, time wasters, for having such ridiculous methods of wasting my time. Now that I've written this out it seems a little more bitter than I meant. Really I'm just trying to be funny. Have a lovely day,

Erica
