I write for Smile Politely now. I still work for buzz and The217.com also, and people might raise an eyebrow at the double CU-website work, but I’m freelancing and I just want to write for as many different places as possible.
And, just like every place I work at, it has a mugshot of me that is slightly awkward. Well, hey. Look at that. Me being awkward and unphotogenic. (But, it’s insanely better than last week’s buzz column photo. Sheesh, I look like an emo fetus in that one.)
The process of getting an actual website made has proven to be time consuming, so I took matters into my own hands today and created what I like to refer to as a “virtual resume.”
Check out my temporary website at carlye.tumblr.com. If all I needed a website for was to let employers know who I was, a feel for what I’m like (and how much I like brown) and a way to read my stories, this works perfectly as a temporary page.
Enjoy. And forward it to anyone you know looking for an employee. And enjoy.
Want to let me know about something going on in town? That the gay-hating jesus freaks were storming the Quad again? A girl’s boob fell out during a philosophy discussion?
Now, you can let me know. The blog now has an e-mail address. If you need me, you can find me at awkcity@gmail.com
After two days of visiting magazine offices and talking to people in the industry about the importance of online and web content, I’ve decided that once I officially leave my post as music editor of buzz next week, I will begin focusing solely on Awkward City as a personal full-time job.
Current goal: 15 posts a day (two of which are long or slightly in-depth), subscribe to five more magazines to understand various content better, budgeting my expenses to invest in blog-worthy products (camera, photoshop, scanner) and eat a lot, since apparently once I get here I won’t.
if sarah silverman, stacy london, buster bluth and ari gold had a love child, it would be me.
