i'm in charge of finding some new people to write for the taylor blogs.

if you know any taylor student, preferably one that is a freshman or sophomore, that is good at blogging, please let me know, because you will make my job a lot easier.

i just spent an hour searching through a xanga taylor u blogring, and after 30 or so blogs, i gave up, deciding there must be a better way to do it.

if you want an experience that will evoke all kinds of emotions, i suggest searching through a TU blogring. lots of bubblegum-ey girls talking about "hanging" with their "boys," lots of guys trying to be all gangsta talking about "homies" and "doggs," a few star wars nerds, and a few theologians preaching legalism. lots of mediocre blog-writing, in general.

apparently xanga allows you to put a song on your site so that it plays when people visit. this is incredibly annoying, especially when you're trying to listen to radiohead and blink 182 or crappy hip hop comes on in the background.

also a lot of people, freshmen, obviously, who are really excited about how wonderful and amazing taylor is. please don't get me wrong, i've enjoyed and appreciated my time at taylor very much, but it is never my first thought to write "TAYLOR IS AMAZING!!!!" on my blog anywhere. my freshman year, it was possible, but i think very few upperclassmen remain without jaded cynicism to muster up any comments like that.

this may be discrimination, but i will not be hiring any bloggers who: have hot-pink backgrounds, tYpE in a MiX of UpPeRcAsE and lOweRcaSe or use **excessive** a*s*t*e*r*i*k*s or little winky smiles for that matter ;), use any music at all on their site, use the acronym LOL, or have a countdown for star wars episode III on their site.

but seriously, if you know anyone who would be a good candidate, let me know.

it's a shame that all the good writers are people who more or less hate taylor and wouldn't exactly be a good fit for a taylor blog.
