Thoth's Un-Official Field Guide to VR Journals...
Ya know, I have spent the past few weeks reading journals here on VR.
A LOT of journals, dear reader. While my approach wasn't exactly scientific -- journals weren't chosen randomly, I picked 300 chronologically sequential journal entries for my analysis -- I did try to adhere to a few standards.
I think most journals fall into 4 main categories, as expressed here in a spiffy pie chart:
Naturally, these are based on MY observations. Your classifications may differ. Sometimes, I found there to be a fine line between wit and humor, and an even finer line between wit and RAAAR! So I had to make some judgment calls.
For example;
If your poetry was written in the style of gangsta rap, it goes straight into the RAAAR pile. And if you even try to disagree with me; I have Shakespeare and Emily Dickinson to back me up. Word.
Example # 2;
If your witty observation concerns drama on VR -- yep, you guessed it -- straight into the RAAAR! I gave you no credit for wit. Sorry.
Example # 3;
If your journal entry started off as wit, veered into depression, and ended at the door of redemption -- it's probably poetry and you don't even know it. Correct your txt-ish spelling and change the punctuation a little bit, and
voila! A poem! I put you down in the poetry column. See? I'm not a complete jerk.
But, I just realized, I don't remember who you were, Unintentional Mystery Poet.... so.. uh... yeah... I really need to start taking better notes...
Welp, that's all for today! Tune in next week! We'll be discussing Portfolios!

I think it's time for you to start wearing your tin foil cap again.
They sense your worried, thus the movie is going to play to make you go out and buy tons of useless supplies to hibernate inside of your bomb shelter under your house.
It's the newest form of advertising.
