what do you do?

i had great fun blogging for the guardian about book covers last week — it’s a topic that really seemed to engage people (including the telegraph and my good friend keris). [UPDATE: i got pwned by galleycat and — are you ready for this? — jezebel (jezebel!!) not only discussed my piece but called me “The Guardian’s Diane Shipley”. Ha. And…Salon’s wonderful blog for women, Broadsheet, also talked about me, i mean, about what i wrote. even though both places mentioned pink, i actually wasn’t getting at pink: just homogenisation, which is more often, in the UK at least, cream with swirly writing. anyhoo, as a serious journalist i’m not a bit excited by all this publicity. yeah right: i’ve never been so famous! (or so tired btw, man i need a nap).]

so! i’m blogging for the graun again today, this time about teens, sex and TV: no sex, please, they’re teenagers. does this make me a sex blogger? (ahahahahha)

what else? oh yes, my words blog bossy is no more, at least for now: there’s a lot of great language-related stuff to say, but i think i’m going to wait until nearer the start of my english degree to say it.

i’m not cutting down on blogs though: i’m currently working on a suuuper secret, suuuper special pet project that is going to be so.much.fun. (for me at least). and i bought a domain name and got an official email and everything.

it’s a good job i’m passionate about online content, as next year i’m going to be doing this. it’s okay if i start hyperventilating planning now, right?
