WLTL's annual fundraiser Rock-a-Thon isn't over yet (it goes for 88.1 hours) but our shift is. If any of you are in the area and are reading this before it's over, try to call in and donate. Now that the shameless plug is over, I think it's time to discuss our shift. It was fun, nerve-wracking, exciting, and exhausting all at the same time. I got involved in a pie fight, cleaned it up, sang Beyonce on the air for money, had a lightsaber duel with Pods, and a bunch of other stuff. A few of the managers and supervisors got annoyed and even mad at us, but all in all it was a great experience. In hindsight, maybe I shouldn't have done it a week after my first show ever, but whatever. Our music show, "Nerd Talk", is still on Fridays from 7-9, and I can't wait for it because it'll be much less stressful.Speaking of nerdy things, I am really enjoying the "Rage of the Red Lanterns" arc in Green Lantern. I like how Geoff Johns is making every corps different in their own special way, and I really love the Blue Lantern Corps. My dad got me a pretty sweet Red Lantern sweatshirt; now all I need is a Blue one.
Also, on Friday I gave my "This I Believe" speech (modeled after NPR's contest of the same name) after rewriting it three times. My final version was about comics, and I'm glad I got the chance to mention not only Watchmen but also 100 Bullets and Fables in school. We had a class vote to see who did the best, and I won. Not bad for a nerd.
