Introducing Lofi Gurl

[edit]

Highly energetic writer. Been writing since I was way young. First short stories, then scripts for TV shows. Then I started drawing. Then I wanted to start learning code, but that didn't go anywhere. Then YouTube became a thing, and that is when I got into writing skits, complete with acting, video editing, and animating (including claymations!!!). I made animations using Microsoft Paint. I never learned Adobe Flash. I realized the other girls in school weren't into girls who stayed home and did YouTube all weekend, so when I was in 8th grade I started playing music. In highschool, I played a hell of a lot of Sonic, Halo and Zoo Tycoon. I also love Mario. I suffered through the English program in college and got my bachelor's degree when I was 25. That's about it.

SEMI-RETIRED


This user is no longer very active on Wikinews.

I'm moving back in with my parents after New Years. They live way out in the boonies, and I won't have internet access for a while unfortunately. Maybe its for the best. My internet addiction has gotten so bad, and my userpages on various projects are getting "bloggish". I haven't really known what to do since I quit content creation, barhopping and copyediting professionally, and that's why I made an account and started grinding so hard on here. Nobody wants to hang out with a Wikinerd who hasn't showered or shaved, and going to the bar is literally so expensive. A penny saved is a penny earned! I'm going to edit sporadically from coffee shops and the library, after I move back in with the 'rents, but that's about it.

I miss playing music so much. I played alot of pop punk, heavy metal and butt rock in high school, and then I had a somewhat-okay emo band in college, but that band broke up when we got too old. Since then, I've been trying to listen to everything and apply progressive elements to my music. I tend to use bittersweet melodies when I play, so I'm hoping that by listening to more heavy metal and punk and hardcore and math rock I can push the boundries of the stuff that I was listening to and playing when I was young.

I lament the lack of writers here

[edit]

All I wanna do is write. There is just so much energy inside me that I don't know what to do with. I literally just sit at news websites, refreshing the homepage, just looking for something to write about. Sadly, there aren't enough people around here to review my work. I actually just nuked a bunch of my articles that were in development hell, and some others that were waiting for review. I spliced the useful parts and was able to expand some Wikipedia articles by alot. They told me at an early age that I would be a famous writer, and that I would make an impact on the world. I feel my writing makes more of an impact on Wikipedia because it's like of like, immortalized? I guess you can say the same thing about the news articles that I have contributed here, because news articles are snapshots in time. But yeah, we don't have enough editors here for most articles to not end up being wasted efforts. Sad.

I sob for the future

[edit]

Most of the sources I use for articles... aren't even that good or well written. I feel like I am able to do a better critical analysis than them? (?!) I can even see the obvious bias in each and every one of them. The press in this country is a joke. That George Stepapopolus story is proof of it. Coworkers make fun of me for my recent liking to writing on here, denouncing it a "weird hobby". One of them even gave me a hard time for doing all this work for free. But I do it for my own self-satisfaction, and because the world needs news like this. It's a shame there aren't more people around here.

I'm spiraling

[edit]

I feel completely lost in life and I regret every decision I have ever made and I have nothing to show for the life that I have lived and I feel like I'm losing it... I quit therapy and resolved to lock myself away in my room and write articles till I die. All I want is to give meaning to my suffering

something stupid me and my friend thought of today while downing shots..

[edit]

I'm starting this elite society at my local coffee shop called "the Wikinews Speedwriters". I am going to vet them, I am going to train them, and we are going to be a lean-mean newswriting machine! I've been honing my speedwriting technique over the past couple weeks but I'm interested in taking it to a new level. We are going to be a multimedia news team. Photo, audio, video, text, and everything inbetween. Interviews, deep analysis, opinions, quotes. Get ready

I just quit content creation after like four years. I did Twitch streaming, YouTube, OnlyFans and blogging. I'm done with all that though. I'm trying to focus all that energy onto here now, where I can actually make a difference. When I worked for that awful company, I could only write about what they wanted me to write about. I had to write Buzzfeed-style articles... yeah, I didn't really enjoy that, but it paid my bills for my first few years out of college. My loyalties lie with the free press, the scientific method and neutral point of view. I'll probably never be a music journalist or a record producer or a touring musician like I had made all those highschool business class projects about way back when.. I have just found that I enjoy editing on here and on Wikipedia, with a picture of the New York skyline up on my TV screen nearby, so I can make beleive I was good enough to get hired at a firm that has an office in a Manhatten high-rise.. but a girl can dream right?

Nowadays I just work in bars and restaurants and do lawn care for a living. I'm getting old. I'm at something of a crossroads at this time in my life, and I have been dwelling on my desisions that have left me with crippling debt, destroyed relationships, health problems.. the list goes on. You want my opinion on it? Not worth it!! Come along and watch me dig myself out of a hole.

current status

[edit]

Lofi Gurl is taking a short wikibreak and will be back on Wikinews soon.

I plan to help with revisions on the articles in the review que, but I'm taking a break from starting new ones. I like writing "Musical style" sections on musician articles on Wikipedia, I'm going to focus on that. You might find me over at Wikipedia, Wikiquote and Commons...
