Gil McBride
Athens, GA
My writing process has been "different" than most people's over the course of my adult (for lack of a better word) life. I started writing regularly in middle school, where I frequently updated a blog that was the direct product of my rebellious and anarchistic nature. I continued to write, and developed a solid foundation writing coherently, and as I got into highschool I began to research and explore the vast reaches (underbelly?) of the internet. This gave me an entirely new perspective, and was the beginning of the creature we see today as "Gil". I began really writing quasi-professionally during my junior year of highschool. I had a blog that featured more mature (albeit humorous) writing and Google Adsense even paid me to place ads all over it. While I haven't updated it in a while, it's been likened to a cactus wearing a hat, battling an angry, pedantic, academic. Ultimately, writing regularly is something I'm familiar with and I'll probably continue to do it for the rest of my life.
My name is Gil McBride. I the most atheist of all the angry internet atheists, I have an abrasive personality, and my only working experience consists of being a professional gofer in a fairly well-known law firm in my home town. I am hoping to major in finance at the University of Georgia and become a wizard of Wall Street so someone will wave a sign and complain about me when I'm older. If that doesn't work out I'll sell everything I own, buy a waverunner, and become a pirate. My picture is of me at the Warped Tour this past summer. I felt like the oldest person there until we bumped into Andy Atkins, the vocallist from the now defunct Nashville Metalcore band, A Plea for Purging. That guy's got to be at least thirty.
