Coming up for air

Since I started university everyone has always said to me that I would end up an academic, truth be told,  I was always offended by this statement I didn't like academia all that much. I loved learning and applying what I learnt... but me do a PhD?? what humbug I would say. Well, it seems the joke is on me now, because I love academia I discovered, I probably always have. It is a rather liberating feeling! The research, the finding the answers to questions that keep you up at night,  the theories oh the theories! Ok enough of that.

New on the Elle front

The story going great, amazing how many pages you write in a day when you have an endless pool of creative juice. I am having so much fun with it and I cant wait to share it with you guys!

I am writing two new academic papers - this is what lead to the self discovery - one, on online identity theft. This issue really bugs me and I feel somewhat passionate about it I am avoiding the word very. ;) However I don't understand why people go online and pretend to be other people? My case study is on twitter and the amount of "Zac Efrons", "Seth Rogens" and "Rob Pattinsons" there seem to be. It seems rather juvenile not mention sad the effort these people put into their impersonations. It's also rather insulting to the real people what the heck? So ya that's my little issue with that and I am turning it into an academic paper.

As for my other paper watch this space... I got to go, staff meeting... later bloggers.
