Honest to Blog

"'Honest to Blog' is cancelled this issue due to lack of subject."
That text was about this close to solely filling this box because, as of last Friday, I had absolutely no column ideas. Last Friday was the deadline for this issue. After nine issues, and nine "Honest to Blog's," I was officially spent. Nothing really interesting is going on in my life at the moment with the exception of graduation, which is what the senior columnists are all planning on writing about next issue, our last issue, while crying over our keyboards.
So what is there to say now in the meantime? In this limbo period, while I and the rest of the class of 2009 wait for the end of college and the beginning of the rest of our lives.
I think part of my problem in coming up with a topic for this issue is that my column doesn't really have a coherent theme. Every issue, Provoc readers can count on L.C.'s reflections on relationships, Mike's satirical take on college life, Greg's sports run-down and Joe's Editor-in-Chief genius-ness. This column, as Momma Gump would say, is "like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get." I have no framework to fall back on.
I meant to have a theme though. Back in August, I decided I wanted to write an entertainment column, which made perfect sense because I am the Feature Editor after all. (And technically the Arts and Entertainment editor, too. I'm just saying.) I thought I'd have plenty to say about the entertainment world every two weeks. How could I not? I am obnoxiously, embarrassingly obsessed with celebrities. In case you missed my first column, I spend my free time watching E! News while on PerezHilton.com.
I called my column "Honest to Blog" firstly, because it's an awesome phrase in Juno (which I happen to be watching with my roommates as I write this - weird huh?), and secondly, because much of celebrity gossip is blogged about now. I figured I would just comment on celebrity culture, throw in a few witty comments and call it another issue.
