Apparently, I do. I never thought anyone paid enough attention to me for that to occur. And guess what? It's not a BAD reputation. It has nothing to do with my personal life at all, either. It has to do with my "chosen career" (HAHAHA- sorry, I had to laugh at that term, though I can't think of a better way to put it). People seem to like my work. "People" as in the new editor- in- chief of the new UVU paper, his higher- ups, his lower- downs, and the folks from the morning show on a popular radio station, X96.
There was some sort of "yay it's official, we're UVU now" party at the school while I was out of town for my family reunion a few weeks ago. X96 was there, and when I talked to Jack (the editor- in- chief) yesterday, he told me they were SO hoping I would be there so they could interview me. This after they generously called me a nerd on statewide radio last term. Oh well, we'll banter another time, I guess. X96 tends to cover UVU stuff whenever there's something actually happening there. I'll make it a point to drop in next time they show up.
I'll be writing for the paper still, but now I get PAID for it! All I have to do is join the rest of the (peons) writers on Mondays to stuff ads in the papers, attend the staff meetings, and- oh yeah- write articles before the deadlines.
Sounds good to meeee....

wow. i hope you post some of those articles, or at least link to them.
Art is no longer art when it involves paychecks and deadlines.....which is why I have no desire to turn 'professional' even though most of my friends tell me I should.
Wow. What could be nicer than writing and getting PAID for it?
Jason- no problem.
Lotus- As I recall, Michaelangelo worked for a paycheck.
Lou- yup, I basically bitch for a living. It's great. As long as I do it creatively and don't insult the wrong people...
Hey, being called a nerd is a compliment nowadays.
