The University Years

It is often said that the uni­ver­sity years will be some of the best years of our lives and that as stu­dents, we are tasked not only with learn­ing the lessons of the class­room, but also lessons of life. I share my expe­ri­ence and pass on the torch of enlightenment.

There is a com­mon con­ver­sa­tional phe­nom­e­non in this world between what I like to cat­e­go­rize as two breeds of peo­ple: (1) Peo­ple who have left the uni­ver­sity sys­tem and – unless they have become foot-long, knife-wielding psycho-murderer-killers who have a con­cur­rent sex­ual fix­a­tion on microwave ovens – are now work­ing and by all stan­dards con­sid­ered to be pos­i­tive, con­tribut­ing mem­bers of soci­ety at large; and (2) Uni­ver­sity stu­dents.

aimless agenda Aimless Agenda #16   7/24/09

I’m not quite sure how to spell it, but this week’s show was full of way too many “blbbblblb”s; You’ll see what I mean right away. This week’s show was also full of psy­cho­log­i­cally dis­turbed actresses, heck­ling tele­mar­keters, and (finally) a brand new Story Time With Christina! Plus: Why Jonathan’s but­ter sculp­ture isn’t here… still.

Lorelle VanFossen — Fairy Blogmother Extraordinaire

Darren Rowse from ProBlogger.net and Lorelle VanFossen showing some love.

More recently my good friend, Lorelle Van­Fos­sen, announced her­self as the fairy blog­mother and gave a groovy pre­sen­ta­tion at Word­Camp Port­land. Her garb? A hilar­i­ous fairy ensem­ble com­plete with pajama bot­toms and her weapon of choice? A touch­ing story of how Word­Press changed the life of Glenda Wat­son Hyatt.

Lorelle promised me that she had somet­ing up her sleeve. While the cos­tume and the per­sona was unex­pected (a fairy blog­mother; what an orig­i­nal idea!), the coolest thing were the sto­ries that made up her pre­sen­ta­tion (not to men­tion she some­how got me into the pre­sen­ta­tion too). Visit Lorelle and Glenda today and don’t for­get to check it out! (Or else.)
