okay i have decided on this because i am maybe kind of weird, but also now incredibly curious to see whether or not he gets really freaked out and it actually works. then if it doesn't i guess i'll do the normal thing and call the police.
also, congrats on college!

Graduation ceremony tonight - my first one, as I didn't go for my undergraduate degree. Because it's a graduate diploma I apparently get a sweet gold stole (although academic dress hire is annoyingly expensive).

Blog thread,
How does one write a cover letter? I am told it is easy, but since this is all official-like for a job I want to know exactly what I'm doing.

It depends on the job, as usually cover letters will be specific to the type of position offered, and the job ad itself. If it's a technical position, I would recommend asking someone you know in your field to provide you with an example, or getting a book on the subject from a University library (same goes for your C.V. as well, there are specific ways to write your C.V. which differ between professions). For example, I had to learn the correct way to present my technical publications on my C.V.
I guess my tips for cover letters would be: always err on the side of formal language, make sure you get someone else to read over it for grammar, clarity and dodgy spellcheck issues, keep it concise (half a page or under is preferable, unless the job ad specifies otherwise), and specifically address the criteria outlined in the job ad. The last part is very, very important. Use examples that cover the criteria, and say why you think your training/previous experience at Workplace X. or University B. make you uniquely and best suited for the position.

Dear Blog Thread,
I don't know where else to post this (other than Music Talk) but Guys. Guys. Guys.
Chuggo has his own Wikipedia article now. By definition of being about Chuggo it is officially the greatest article on Wikipedia.
It's either going to be vandalized to fuck or deleted forthwith, but in any case--
He's on Wikipedia now, he needs sources he can cite
AHHHH C'MON FUCK A GUY
