2010 in Review: Quote of the Day

This is just one post in my wrap up of the year 2010. If you would like to read the rest, click here to the main post.

2010 was also the origin of "Quote of the Day." I've been writing down quotes and one-liners that crack me up in my journals for years but recently, I posted these random quotes on my Facebook.

Eventually, it just started picking up which seems to happen with a lot of my projects (SoManyBands, SPEAK for a Year). Any time I posted a quote in someone's presence, that person would either be honored that I made them Quote of the Day or they would tell me how much they loved reading them.

I didn't realize how much of a big deal they were becoming. I was just posting them.

When I started working in the Accent newsroom, I realized my editors were hilarious, most specifically my then-editor-in-chief, Sarah. Most of my first quotes of the days were from her.

In fact, the first official quote of the day came out of her mouth:

Quote of the day by my editor in chief: "He has pretty hair and an art major. He doesn't have to be smart."

So I've searched through my Facebook history and here are some favorites from 2010:

"It's like they have a happiness reader in the back. 'Oh someone's happiness is down and the only way to bring it back up is with pancakes.'"

"Is that a laptop in your purse?"

"Someone asked if I wanted to buy some drugs there before. It's ok. It's culture."
