Jordan Bartel's Articles

So, here’s the official (read: boring) stuff I’m supposed to say. I was born in San Diego, moved to North Carolina when I was 10 and graduated with a degree in journalism from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. I’m the assistant editor of b. There — happy? And now I’ll complete this in the now-ubiquitous MySpace survey format. And, yes, these 5 questions are actually taken from surveys my friends (who have too much time on their hands) have filled out: 1. Do you think too much or too little? A: Hmm ... Let me ponder that for a while. 2. When was the last time you cried? A: When I was so nicely reminded that I actually have to fill out this survey. 3. What season do you like best? A: Fall. I have a sweater fetish. It’s less damaging than it sounds. 4. Who’s the most annoying person in your neighborhood? A: The prostitutes that are coming out ever-so-earlier. Seriously, you’re called women of the night for a reason. Sun = no hooking. 5. Do you think too much or too little? A: My co-workers can answer that one. E-mail them.
