Have you had your 15 minutes of fame yet?

I'm still waiting for mine...but I did appear in A&E's Biography. lol (The episode was not about me.)

:rofl: I still don't know why on earth they picked me - I looked kind of like Olive Hoover from Little Miss Sunshine, only with shorter hair and not nearly as cute. :shrug:

I think the big one for me, though, was appearing on a brochure about ten years ago. :D You can't even really tell it's me, but there I am with my family (I'm in the yellow shirt):

cool.

next comes Vogue...

Maybe if Vogue can do an extremely long-distance shoot...who knows? Maybe it's the next big thing! :P :rofl: :hi:

Oh, I hope I haven't!

I've started writing poetry, and I hope to be published...

THEN I want my 15 minutes of fame!

:hi:

Can I have your autograph?

If I get a book out, or even show up in a magazine...

I'll send you an autographed copy...

Would you like that?

:)

I made the front page of my hometown newspaper in high school for leading a protest walkout there. :)

And I made it again the following week for participating in our school's annual "Model Congress." Which was kind of a funny story - an irate citizen had written a LTTE to complain about the protest being featured while other students in the Model Congress were "learning to work within the system."

So the same journalist who had covered the walkout (a wonderful rabble-rousing liberal) came to the school and purposely chose my table to photograph for a front-page article on said Model Congress.

She captioned it, "Learning to work within the system." :rofl:

so I guess I still have nine left. :shrug:

:hi:

RL

glad to see you around

Prefer my quiet life with the family and have no desire to be famous.

Unless it was as a porn star maybe.... :rofl:

:-)

deal?

:hi:

had it so now I don't have to worry

lost

but it would probably be infamy if I did.

I was a well known runner during my high school career and held the school records in the 3200m and cross country for 5 years after I had graduated.
In college, I think that I was involved enough and popular enough to be known by most of the students, faculty, and staff at my college even if it did have under 2,000 students.
I've been much more anonymous since then.

Made the front page of our local newspaper! Hometown celebrity I was....arrested for marijuana back in 1975. I was 19...I got my fame early on to get it over with.

:rofl:

I was in a 1992 commercial for an Alabama State Senator's campaign. While I was at my job here in Canada.

The senator was buddies with my boss (they met in a Cayman Island luxury resort).

I was filmed while repairing a circuit board (they liked the smoke). Dramatic lighting, three takes

It was some kind of message about attracting technical companies. Totally fraudulent.

I was probably seen by MILLIONS of people... :D

I knew I should have kept my clothes on until I got inside the house. :evilgrin:

I got on the air live to say thank you WBBF! That's all I got..........

:(

I will though

:shrug:

just know it to be a fact

:D

It wasn't the most exciting 15 mins. ever, but I think I'm done.

I was a delegate for Sen. Kerry. As an Ohioan, we received a lot of media coverage. I've been interviewed by all the local news, BBC, C-Span, NewsHour, several international newscasts, a couple documentaries, a newspaper interview that was picked up by the AP. For awhile if you googled my name there were 1000s of hits. My 15 mins. had more to do with geography and the fact that other countries understand mid-west accents easily, but it was kind of fun. :)

However, I'll be happy to have a few more minutes, if it's ever an option.

Not even close

Which is fine with me.
