Hang in there Margaret!

There is a site online called "I Write Like" where you type a bit of your own writing in, and an algorithm analyzes your writing and says which famous author you most write like.

I write like
J. K. Rowling

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing!

BOOYA!

Yeah-- I was delighted.

The site has gone viral, however, and everybody is doing it-- even famous authors themselves. The authors, however, have been horrified with the results for the most part. Someone put the text in from Mel Gibson's racist/sexist/generally horrible human being rant in and the algorithm decided it was most like Margaret Atwood. MARGARET ATWOOD! The woman who wrote "The Handmaiden's Tale" and said "A voice is a human gift; it should be cherished and used, to utter fully human speech as possible. Powerless and silence go together." THAT was the author that most resembled Mel Gibson's "You're a f*cking mentally deprived idiot." How charming.

So basically, I'm pretty sure Margaret Atwood is on suicide watch until the month is up. Poor dear.

Allons-y!

I'm in Savannah after the longest car ride EVER. It might have been my fault as I did not load up the CD player with tubular new tunes. I had to rekindle my love for Lady Gaga (specifically "Bad Romance" as that is the only song of hers I have right now) and really make it work. Also, there were some pretty successful Aerosmith jams... but apart from that it was dreadful.

There are a couple things I have to do in Savannah and then it is back to Greensboro to start a new job, apply to the Americorp job, and study for the GRE.

Blah.
