Front page!

I got my fifth story published this week. The thing is, IT WAS ON THE FRONT PAGE! I never thought I'd see the day an A&E/Life story would make the cover. I'm so happy and excited.
People are talking about it because the picture the editors chose was one of the creepiest, goriest, more disgusting photos I submitted. Surprisingly, people love it. Mmmm, blood and guts.

This is the picture:

Too gross? Too gory? It gets people to pick up the paper, so it works, right?

That guy was awesome. He posed for me and waited patiently as I flipped the camera around, getting different angles.
I found him on Facebook and thanked him for getting me the cover. He had posted on the Facebook Toronto Zombie Walk page though; I'm not a complete zombie stalker.

I also helped one of the editors get this video:

I'm that annoying voice that says "guys" far too often than one should when one is interviewing. Thankfully, the editor cut out most of my talking. I do, however, get a few questions in there.

If my Reporting/Editing teacher doesn't give me some sort of good mark for this, I will spend 30 extra minutes cursing her before bedtime. Hell, I have more than enough time on the bus. Do they allow candles and blood markings on buses? Are candles and blood markings a part of cursing others?

Note to self: buy book on black magic, just in case.
