Lead with Halo and D&D, make a point to key on Wicca, but simply gloss over the 35-times-a-day calling boyfriend who lives under his mother. It's like blaming the oregano and basil and all but ignoring the spoiled meat in the pasta gravy.


Kinda looks like a young Winona Ryder.

Wasn't Winona Ryder arrested for shoplifting? See, people with short brunette hair, they're all crazy stealer types!


I bet Winona played "Magic The Gathering" . . . it's a gateway to the occult.

I'd hit it.

Let's see, kinda cute, maybe psychotic, definite anti-social tendencies...

I used to be a reporter and a news paper editor, so I have some insight into the matter.

The first five paragraphs of a story are considered to be important and are usually reserved for a summary of the story with a Who, What, When, Where, How and a Why.

Not any more. Poynter Institute studies show that readers turn off when faced with the inverted pyramid. It hasn't been a standard style (especially for five paragraphs, holy crap!) for years now. At my last job interview, for my current job, I was specifically asked if I was wedded to the inverted pyramid. (I am not; I was a narrative guy before narrative was cool.)

Narrative and modified narrative pieces are the standard now, and this story is pretty typical.
