So, I started my own media memoir yesterday. I thought it would be about blogging AND fashion, but it’s turned out to only focus on blogging and how that part of the internet has affected my life. I was hoping to incorporate how, once I watched Sex and The City, I went from not caring about fashion to wanting to suck it all in, learn about it all. But it’s not going to fit; I only have 1000 words.
Sidenote: Now, I even watch Project Runway although I have no idea how they do it (design from scratch, without patterns)… I may soon learn the whole “sewing machine” bit though since I got one from my parents for my birthday. I was telling Cheryl that I just want to know how to use it RIGHT NOW. I have to be patient. I have to allow myself to screw up. It’s going to be hard, but I am excited. Plus, it’s something on my Life List too.
Besides the media memoir, I’ve used my lil’ bit of spare time to create a template for my syllabi. Yes, that’s very dorky (geeky, nerdy), but I enjoy document design. And this way, I can utilize the very cool syllabus I created for Creative Writing. I’m using almost the same design for 110 and 120; I just really like how I laid all of it out.

document design may be dorky/geeky/nerdy, but it’s helped me make a lot of money. It’s a skill I often wish that others doing work for or with me had.
