HOMELESS FOREVER OH GOD WHY

[spectra]

Really, I appreciate the effort and everything but you really couldn't come up with a more creative username than my name? As much as I like seeing it everywhere like it should be I was thinking of something more subtle. Maybe you could have gone for a pun or something, don't we just love puns around here? (Gag me.)

Anyway I don't actually want my name attached to everything I write because what if I need to do something anonymously, you know like release some vital information that I wouldn't necessarily want tracked back to me because some ghouls just can't handle freedom of speech? It's just responsible journalism to make sure everyone knows some necessary facts about their fellow student bodies but nobody here appreciates my sense of integrity. Maybe I should have two accounts, in fact I think you should get on that right away.

If you want I could write that application for you though, I mean I've only been here a few days and I already know everything there is to know about that ghoul. It was simple really, I mean if monsters don't want me to know about them they should really not leave their diaries in public places like underneath their mattresses.

Personally, I'd think someone with journalistic integrity, a real supporter of freedom of speech, would be willing to sign her name to everything she writes. I do -- anyone can look up everything I write, my credentials, my listed biases and my blogger's license.

Well, I take that back. Someone writing in a dictatorship who has to fear for her safety might want to choose an alias. I know some of my sources have used them now that I'm loosely affiliated with a resistance to a galactic empire. Considering I'm living in the hub of Revolution Central Co-op, I don't think it matters for me.

But if you don't want to stand by what you write, then maybe serious journalism isn't for you.

Yes well I would love to be able to attach my name to everything I publish because I absolutely stand by everything I report but as terrible as it is to admit my personal safety has been threatened multiple times by fellow student bodies even though everything I report is accurate and necessary information. I know, right? So barbaric. Not that it matters since I'm already dead and all... In the interests of making sure I'm still able to inform my fellow monsters I sometimes do require anonymity.

[truthaftertheend]

Right. I remember what it was like in high school.

[spectra]

It's murder, really. I persevere nonetheless.

[truthaftertheend]

Really?

[spectra]

Literally, yes.

Of course it's hard to murder someone who's already dead but you know threatening a fellow student really ought to be taken more seriously by the staff here. Hmph.

[truthaftertheend]

Maybe they figure they should get worried when the other students start threatening exorcism.

[spectra]

...

That could be a problem.

[truthaftertheend]

At that point, if the teachers aren't on your side, I think it would be time to raise the biggest stink you can possibly raise. And I suspect that will be a weapons-grade stink.

Yes, it was SO accurate to report that Deuce had dumped me for Operetta, when in reality he had enlisted her help in writing a song for me.

[spectra]

I would have been doing you a favour anyway, that song was so terrible it made me wish I could die again just to stop hearing it.

[cleo_de_nile]

I don't remember any apologies or retractions for that outright lie, either. Classy.

[spectra]

It was hardly necessary since everyone could see the two of you trying to eat each other's faces the next day anyway.
