I love to share

I'm over my embarrassment at the pants dropping incident of yesterday. It's not like it's the first time I waved bare ass in public.

My interview is this afternoon. I don't know what magazine it's going to end up in because (as I understand it) it's being written by an independent reporter. I guess we'll just have to see if someone decides to publish it. Rest assured that if it does get published I will find out and tell everyone about it. Then I'll get a copy of the article and frame it and wear it around my neck like a beautiful, lovely piece of me-pimping jewelry.

I got a heads up on some of the questions that they're going to ask me. That's a good thing since I have a tendency to babble like a brain damaged monkey (and you know how they go on) when I'm on the phone with someone I don't know very well. I've practiced my answers out loud because I also have the tendency (when I'm nervous) to start talking quickly and at a very high pitch. I want to sound like a normal person and not a chipmunk so I've practiced speaking slowly and clearly. My fear now is that I'm going to sound like that little girl that Stewie tried to teach to speak proper English that one time on the Family Guy. "HoooW DO Yoooou DOOOO?"

I think I need to stop drinking caffeine for the day now.

Update - I had the interview and I think it went really well. I on'y went into high-pitched-voice-and-dorky-giggle mode once or twice. We'll see when the article gets published if I get described as "cheerful" or "slightly manic".

I'm on the cover of a magazine!*

Ok, so I won't be on the cover. But I will be in the magazine. Maybe.

Someone from my agency called me today asking if they could give my name to a reporter looking to talk to surrogates for an article he was doing on illegal dog fighting. I mean surrogacy. I said "Awesome!" which I hope she took as a yes and in the next few days someone from the magazine will be getting in contact with me. Fun!

And don't worry. Once I'm in a magazine I won't forget all the little people I knew before. I mean, I'm sure once I'm in a magazine I'll be a lot busier than I used to be and I probably won't have as much time for you as I did before I was in a magazine but I'll always think of you fondly. And just think! You'll be able to look at me and say "I knew her before she was in a magazine!"**

*Who says this? Hint: Look at the fricken picture.
** This was totally said in jest but I know that now it's out there karma will come and bite me in the butt when the reporter calls me and says "Sorry, you're just too boring for our magazine.
