- I moved to NYC! I finished my first year at University of Chicago and moved here for an internship at Hunch.com. I work in their marketing and content division, primarily on social media, so everyone should go like their Facebook page because it'll make me look good.
- I'm working on my book! Turns out, it takes a lot of time and energy to write a book. Who knew? I figured I should focus all of my writing energies there for now. I'll keep you all updated with more info about publisher stuff/release dates when I know.
- I'm working on a really neat-o top secret project that I can't divulge any information about yet but it'll most likely launch in September and it involves a lot of really awesome, talented people and I promise you will be into it. Been putting some energy into that.
- Just finished organizing SlutWalk Chicago which went really super well but I am SO BURNT OUT FROM HANGING OUT ON THE INTERNET 24/7 it isn't even funny stop laughing no really.
- Some freelance stuff probably.
- Thinking about starting a podcast so once I get some resources together I might work on that a little.
Just sort of need a break from sitting in front of the computer. Sometimes it is nice to take a little recharge period to observe things without commenting and then go and write about them later. Thus, the blog has been on a bit of a hiatus.
I'm not completely gone from the internet though. Here are all of the numerous places you can still hang out with me via web:
I for one think that Teenagerie should not be abandoned even as you move forward in your life and education. I am sure that you have many more important ways to spend your time and energy, but this blog is a very excellent waste (if you can call it that) of said time and energy. I cannot speak for any other internet-goers, but at least for me, this website has been a great resource as a teenager growing up in the digital age. Your posts are funny, interesting, insightful, and a definite breath of fresh air. Also, this site has served to link its users to other awesome places (useful and socially conscious websites), such as scarleteen. Even if you decide to stop posting on Teenagerie, please try to get someone to fill your shoes so that the blog can go on.
ReplyDeleteJamie's shoes are not fillable. She is teenagerie, but I realize she's got a lot going on.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the book about?
ReplyDeleteAlso, please forgive me for a shameless plug, but I just started a feminist blog at endwise.blogspot.com.
ReplyDeleteIt won't make up for lack of Teenagerie, but it might help ease the withdrawal (I hope!).
Jamie I'm so happy to see an update from you. Please take time to recharge your batteries. You are an inspirational, insightful, strong woman who takes charge and uses her creative outlet for the best. I wish you well with this season of life in NYC. Keep a journal to remember.
ReplyDeleteTake care, Keri
I second Keri in being happy to hear that you're still out there being amazing!
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't you post anything on Teenagerie about SlutWalk?
ReplyDeleteNeed some time away from slutwalk. it went really well i am just very tired of writing about it. i wrote some stuff on the slutwalk chicago blog. check it out there!
ReplyDeleteConsidering I fell off my own blog due to summer session stress, I cannot really blame you. Do what you need to do to stay reasonably sane! That said, if you already have something written for another place... cross posting is a wonderful thing...
ReplyDeleteWow, congratulations on scoring an internship and successfully organizing SlutWalk! Sounds like it's been a lot of work...you definitely deserve a little time away from the computer screen!
ReplyDeleteHello, I'd just like to inform you that I've featured a few lines concerning your (now finished) Seventeen Magazine Project in a blog post , which aims to show the absurdities posted on such publications.
