"All the cool kids are doin' it!"


Our beloved facebook dot com news feeds have become inundated with quiz results. It reminds me of what drowns MySpace profiles, except I can't avoid them. To what is our virtual community coming? What do you think this represents?

Some quizzes are interesting though, but they're not on facebook dot com. I was perusing the Internet, wondering which dinosaur I should be (because, sure, I can be a dinosaur), and while I'm not sure this would be my personal choice, it's a good character match. I was informed:

"You are a pyroraptor! Similar to the velociraptor, you are quick-witted and fast, but your main weapon is your claw. Ok, I know you don't really have a huge claw, but think about it. A human equivalent to a claw is ambition. You are a leader. You are a traveler, too, and have experience with the world. You are wise and intelligent, and also love your family."

By the way, how cool is that picture? I mean, pterodactyls firing laser beams out of their eyes... in outer space! That's some crazy stuff, pals.

Oh well.


I have been acquainted with a local youth literary and art magazine, and in it are many pretentious pieces, specifically poems. Much of it is what one can deem "deep" and "meaningful" merely because of the faint resemblance to what actually does make something "deep" and "meaningful". (I mean, that's why its ultimately deemed pretentious, haha.) So my "bffl4eva" and I wrote a poem to comment on this phenomenon. It's been denied print three times now.
