Kinda related to yesterday's post about the poor-off, I remembered something that happened while I was in college.
So one semester, my friend Kim and I (who were both the only editors of color at our school newspaper) were both applying for a scholarship for minority student journalists. We were talking about it until it turned into a minority-off. Kim was only a visually-impaired, mostly vegetarian, left-handed, half-Korean/half-white female. I, however, am a visually-impaired, partially deaf, left-handed, vegetarian, gay Hispanic male. So I won the minority-off. She got the scholarship. I think it all worked out in the end. Heh.

- um ... not much to say. i'm a copy editor. i like the words "nifty" and "egads." i tend to alienate people with my vast knowledge of obscure and useless trivia. i inhale gore vidal and comic books. the chicago manual is my bible. i'm a vegetarian. i enjoy drinking and the meat purveyors (and sometimes drinking with jo walston). i like to ramble. tada?

Hehe. I remember Kim running around saying "Joanie loves cha-chi," the Korean word for penis. If only the scholarship people knew she had such a potty mouth.
boobs triumph. sad tale. I hear it all the time.
