As you all know, my life during the month of November consisted entirely of WRITING WRITING WRITING WRITING. I did not, unfortunately, remember to check SparkLife on a regular basis, as was my custom. Since I didn't do this, I missed the announcement regarding the new Never Been Kissed columnists AND the offer for new columnists to send in ideas.
This sucks for a number of reasons.
1) I could totally write a Never Been Kissed column. I've never been kissed. Or had a boyfriend. Or been on a date. Or been asked out. Or liked. (Except maybe that one time, and that other time, and possibly last December.)
2) I have ZERO TIME to think of a column idea and send it in.
Seriously, how awesome would it look on my track record if I could say, instead of just doing one measly semester publication for my English class, I write an entire column for SparkLife? (It would be extremely, insanely, excruciatingly awesome. Trust me.)
So, fellow Sparklers and spazzers and bloggers: Got any ideas for a column? My feeble mind-ramblings include things related to:
~Writing [fiction]
~Writing [a novel, which I am currently doing]
~Chemistry
~Nerdiness in general
~Disneyland
~Ideas for lazy Saturdays
Actually, I kinda like that last idea. My friends and I come up with countless ideas to do over the summer, or over Christmas break, or next weekend, or for our birthdays... but we never have the time to do it, and no one else ever knows about our lovely ideas. For a column, I could offer up a fun/insane/completely idiotic and time-wasting way to kill time on a boring day (or even between classes when you have seven minutes before class and no one to talk to). I'll even make sure to toss in some stuff that will NOT make you eligible for expulsion from your school and/or a life sentence!
Or I could do a thing about Disneyland. I know how to make the most out of Fastpasses, what shows are worth waiting for, how long is too long for a line, how to properly Disneyland-walk (much more challenging than hallway-walking), shortcuts through obscure areas, random bits of trivia... but that might not appeal to everyone, because not everyone lives in southern California. Heck, there are Sparklers from all over the world. Why would they care about one little strip of land in Orange County?
Not sure how either will work out - what if I run out of ideas? What if people think the ideas are lame? What if I'm not funny?
And here's where you guys come in. Do you think that's a good idea? Any suggestions to improve the idea or for a different column? Reply STAT!
haha, yeah, I guess it's true the Disneyland one is a little to region-specific. But the weekend ideas are nice!! and dude you live in socal?? how come I never knew??
ReplyDeleteReply to 1): OMG I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE!
ReplyDeleteI know I'm only 13, but I've never been asked out and practically the rest of my grade has.
Sky - Okay, thanks! And idk... I thought you knew? XD
ReplyDeleteMolly - DUDE. YOU'RE THIRTEEN YEARS OLD. DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THIS KIND OF THING YET. *pats head*
I didn't know!!! I moved to socal a while ago. Well, I guess it counts as moving, sorta, not really? college - ucsd. :)
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOODNESS YOU GO THERE NO WAY. *spaz attack* When I get to college and start driving myself around, we should meet up and have a Sparklerparty. :O
