What the hell has happened to MLIA? What once used to be a funny commentary of everyday life and ordinary experiences has degraded into repetitious banality. 8 out of 10 published submissions on MLIA deal with one of the following:

• Harry Potter allusion or reference - “Today, I walked into a room and said lumos …”; “Today, I saw someone who looks like Ron Weasley, called him by name and he turned around …”; “Today, blah blah blah Harry Potter …”
• Forts
• Laughing/giggling at the “irony”
• Doing something age inappropriate
• Where’s Waldo
• Something happened that “made my day/year/month/life”
• Sending “I love you” texts to random numbers (although this has sort of phased out)

Really, the list goes on and on. A case can be made that the rampant rehashing of these and similar stories is what makes them average in the first place. But there is a thin line between prevalence and mediocrity. Commonality does not necessarily make something average.

Nothing is more insulting as a graphic designer than when someone mistakes a hideous, clip art infested, MS Publisher created, gag-inducing “flyer” as your work. You really think I would make something like that? And to tell the person who obviously shat it out of her ass while blindfolded that it’s “real [sic] nice” makes me die a little inside.

High school I was a hilltopper.

My high school’s mascot was a buffalo, and my college mascot was a roadrunner. But I’d like to add that my boyfriend’s high school mascot was a unicorn. A UNICORN.
