A quick introduction: I’m Sharona, the Online Communications Intern for 2012. I used to write for The Underage, but they kicked me out because I wasn’t cool enough because I’m not underage anymore.

I am solely responsible for turning the Express Media Tumblr into the home of a kitten-obsessed, lonely 18 year old girl’s Tumblr. You’re welcome.

It’s nice to meet you.

You may remember a few weeks back when Maddie Crofts posted about how much she loves getting mail – how she uses Postcrossing.com to find friends in different countries (God help them).

Anddemonstrating our penchant for all things epistolary, in a different post VW editor Jojo bemoaned the decline of letter writing (due to emailing and other technology) and the difficulty of recording such an intangible medium for future reference.

Well, I have a solution of sorts, and it’s a wonderfully unique one.

Check out F Scott Fitzgerald’s signature as it morphs (animorphs? look who’s morphing? morpheus?) during his ‘formative’ years:

Allegedly, a while back, this Jesus guy did some stuff. But what did he actually, allegedly, do? In the spirit of learning, Easter, and the upcoming Missionary issue of Voiceworks, I’m happy to answer that question with Run Jesus, Run, a flash game that will teach you pretty much everything you need to know about the man with the sandals in ten seconds. Over and over. Amazing.

If you’re bored, someone please think through the irony of the game’s logic for me and post your results in the comments. You can fail for dying and for not dying, but then if you die in the right way you actually win. Bonus question: what is the best way of dying?

Enjoy the long weekend.
