So the title of this blog is from a Scott Westerfield book called So Yesterday, which is actually kind of crappy, but the ideas are sound. In fact, the ideas are basically awesome. He just can't write all that well. Moveable Hype was the name of this fake magazine in the book. Isn't it brilliant? I mean, moveable type, moveable hype... agh. So innovative.
Clearly I am easily pleased.
Fifty days until graduation. On that note, I have decided what I want to write my senior editorial about: caterpillars. All the sentimental stuff tends to bore me a little (even though I'll probably be crying a Niagra at graduation). I mean, I actually like high school. But that doesn't mean I appreciate it. I am a teenager, after all.
Currently Reading:
The Enchanted Forest Chronicles, Patricia C. Wrede
