Elsewhere and over there.

As most of you are probably aware, I have been freelancing for Barnes & Noble's SparkNotes site since the beginning of this year. It is, by far, my favorite writing gig of all time, and I post there three to four times a week about high school-related topics like prom, the SAT, staying awake in class, etc.

But on Fridays -- and this is where things get really exciting-- I get to change it up a bit... when I put on my advice-giving helmet and dole out hard-earned wisdom to bewildered, befuddled, and otherwise angst-ridden teenagers as the infinitely wise guru of all things, Auntie SparkNotes.

And oh my GOD it is SO FUN.

Anyway, I don't often devote blog posts specifically to my work over on SparkNotes (although there is a permalink to my posts in the sidebar, if you ever feel like visiting), but today... well, today, I wrote something that I like so much, I just had to share it with the wider world.

Off with you.

Tee-hee ... MASTULATOR.

I mean, you know, good post, good advice, and all that. But also ...

MASTULATOR. *snort*

Greatest tragedy at the hands of the workplace internet blocker: SPARKNOTES IS BLOCKED. Note how I consider this a greater tragedy than not having access to Crackbook. THAT is how much I need your advice!

that was epic! Where were you after my first hearbreak?

That said, I forgot there was a world before sex. I was like, "ok, so you made out with him? And then what? oh wait, that's the story?", totally forgetting what an important moment that is for a young girl.

he sounds like a mastulator all right.

Aww. I wish you were MY Auntie Sparknotes when I was a teenager. Actually, I STILL need one of you and I'm ... 29.
