I have been so busy.
We've gone through all the phone numbers on the calling sheet at the jewelry shop and are now calling people who didn't answer or who left their answering machines on the first time, so the telephones are slow, and I've turned to other types of telecommunication as a way of earning my keep. I made the store a Twitter account, and I tried to make them a Facebook page, but it's not quite working out. The Twitter is a huge hit with the owner, who is using it to offer 25% off retail purchases to Twitter people and to tweet about the Red Wings.
Then tonight, I finally published my first article on the Examiner. It's about LARPing and it's here. I'm worried it's a little stilted and blah; I'm not used to writing in this format. But I will get better at it. GO CLICK. Journalism people, give me tips. Do I want to go for lush and descriptive or just plain facts? Isn't there some sort of pyramid format I should be using? I did not major in this. I took one journalism class that was more about social engineering through media than writing an article. This doesn't mean I can't write as well as or better than some of the other people on that site, I just need to figure out how to do it.
I am, however, leaving for Ohio to watch my adorable little cousin Makayla in her first dance recital in...2 hours. We will be driving for four hours to watch her prance around onstage, which I am perfectly happy with. I will be back on Sunday. wooo, road trip with Grandma and Grandpa.
