Gettin' lucky...

In general, I am unlucky.

Like, you know those silly church raffles where you pay $1 and hope to win a basketful of Michael Bolton cassette tapes or a maybe even a monogrammed Bible cover? Well, despite entering about eleventy hundred church raffles, I never won...no matter how times (or how genuinely) I sang "He's Got The Whole World (In His Hands)." For those that know the song I'm talking about, you should take note that I EVEN DID THE HAND MOTIONS TO THAT SONG. And what did I get for my troubles? NADA. You'd think that I would've at least won a pencil with "Jesus Loves You" on it. But NO!

Or how about when the emcee of a conference encourages you to look under your chair for a colored piece of paper taped to the bottom... clearly indicating that you've won something cool like the "Back to The Future" Trilogy? Yeah. Despite my best attempts, I've never sat in that chair.

I've never won anything on a lottery ticket and I never get a parking space close to the front of the store. I always pick the security line at the airport with the most anal retentive TSA agent. I've never gotten two of anything at a vending machine due to malfunction of the coil.

What I'm trying to say is that, in general, I'm unlucky.

But I have been given a fantastic opportunity - one that I'm so excited to tell you about.

I was selected to be the first blogger featured at Tales from the Blog. Tales from the Blog is a site that has a lot of useful information (so you may want to sign up for the RSS feed).

A super cool thing about that site is that they have decided to feature a blogger a week...and it's not even one of the big named bloggers. In fact, this week it is me! :)

Not only that, but I was made into a HOT 3D animated character!

See?

In fact, it's probably best that you go there RIGHT NOW to listen to the interview. It's only 8 minutes long and besides, if you watch it, you will be entered into a random raffle where you could win...um...a prize. Yes. A prize.

What's the prize that you might win?

Um...well, I can't tell you (because then it wouldn't be so cool), but um...it's good. Really, really good. And all of your friends will want one. Also, if you get it, your hair will grow longer and stronger. And you'll have more money. And a bigger penis and/or boobs. Maybe both.

And I'm not kidding about the prize. Leave a comment that you visited the site and I'll pick a random winner and totally send a prize to you.

So, um...you should totally check it out.

And since I know you all so well, I'll just answer the questions that you're bound to have:

1) Yes, I really do look like that in real life. I sent pictures of myself to the producer/host and the measurements of my body that she came up with are EXACTLY CORRECT. No need to go back and view past pictures that I put on this blog because that is exactly what my body looks like. Exactly.
2) I had a cold when the interview was recorded. I do not sound like a man...typically. And the cold medicine helped me ramble more than I do...typically.
3) Yes. Apparently, I did get lei'd before the interview. Woo hoo! And that may or may not have been how I scored said interview. A good magician artist never gives away her secrets!
4) That *is* exactly what my living room looks like. The fresh cut fruit is a b!tch to keep up with, but it's a pretty table decoration and besides, my smokin' hot guests like it.
5) Yes. You heard me correctly. "I can't be a part of peaches." A dorkier answer during an interview may never have been given before. That is exactly the kind of quality statement that I bring to interviews. It's a wonder I haven't done more of these.
6) I am eating a grilled cheese sandwich right now.
7) All of the above statements are true, as far as you know.

So basically, I'm thrilled that I was selected to be a part of this project. They're going to feature other bloggers weekly and I can't wait to see/hear who the other bloggers are.

Being a featured blogger on an uber cool web site? It's yet another thing to scratch off my "Bucket List."

I watched it! Kind of creepy actually, but the red hair works!

I'm so excited that she chose to profile you this way. That is wonderful!

I love you, you little nectarine, you.

Reality said...

This was really fun to watch and listen to. I hope you will remember us little people now that you are a celebrity.

Rebecca Jo said...

You are so stinking funny!!! I'm headed to watch the video now... but if I win, will my boobs just get higher instead of bigger... hope so! :)

It's just ME said...

Wow cool interview. Now that you're also a celebrity, I feel I can more comfortably talk to you. It gets lonely at the top. As a media starlet, you want to talk to others, but at the same time you don't want to lower yourself to level of the little people. So you're now at Disney proportions in chest and waist size. Once again, I feel I can more comfortably talk to you.:) Keep up the good work dude.

Lisa R said...

Congrats! I was a little distracted by the fruit and the length of your legs. . . Is the prize something to lengthen my legs so they are as long as yours? Great job!

Mark and Joella said...

That's exactly what I remember you looking like :) I especially loved the orange crush shirt! Awesome job...it's very cool that you got to be the first blogger they featured!

kristi said...

My God that looks EXACTLY like you! Congrats! So what's next? Katie Couric? An appearance on the Today Show? Leno? No, don't do Leno, his show sucks.

Ginger said...

Cool. I look forward to watching!

Rachel said...

I also thought that you looked creepy...but you got a really nice rack! And I am glad that you are still enjoying a grilled cheese sandwich :)

I will also cancel that bushel of peaches that I ordered for your Christmas gift this year ;)

Happy Fun Pants said...

Awww...thanks for all of the kind compliments! And to the two of you who even left comments on YouTube! I didn't even know that you could do that sort of thing! :)

Dang it! Someone beat me to the "nice rack" comment.

By the way, I think this is pretty awesome. Good work, friend. Let's just say I bet SOMEone is eating his heart out.
