If I were a celebrity, I would probably have more people following my blog, right? Yes, I believe so. With all my heart. To my utmost disappointment, I was informed the other day that one of my blog followers dropped out. Bringing my follower total from 3 down to 2. How depressing! I suppose I ought to make more posts then? Give the people what they want, eh? Sigh.
Anyway, I met the New Kids on The Block (or should I say, the "Old Men on the Block") when they were in concert here last weekend. My cute niece invited me to go with her, and although I really didn't know any of their songs (neither did she), it was a good time. Lady Gaga and Natasha Bedingfield opened and Natasha was definitely my fave. It was rather noisy and I left with my ears ringing and feeling like they were stuffed with cotton, but I had a blast! We enjoyed $5 fruit smoothies while we waited for the show to start.
As I was saying, we met them. That's right, actually stood in their presence. We hugged them each, got one photo taken, and that comprised the "Meet and Greet". Seriously, couldn't they have done something cooler? Were they on a budget or something? Whatever. The one who sings like a girl (ok, that is actually kind of offensive to girls, sorry) with the movie-star brother....yeah, kinda cocky. The 'tough guy' (that all the 30-year old women went crazy for when the camera did a close-up of his butt when dancing) was slightly scary, but nice. The others didn't really talk. Do their agents charge them by the word? Which brings me to the title of this entry, "If I was a celebrity".
If I was (or is it 'were'? Someone please tell me the proper word!) a celebrity, I would at least make an effort to be interesting and exciting and be worth meeting. For instance saying: "Hey! Thanks so much for comin'! So are you from here? What do you like to do? Do you want my autograph? Let's take a picture! Silly faces, ready?! Are you gonna put that up on that blog, how cool are you! So you should teach me some sweet dance moves. Yeah, awesome. Aren't I so good looking? We should take another picture". Maybe they were saving every drop of energy for the show, ah well. They can call me for some PR skills training. Just kidding.

it sounds like they are some serious lame-o's, but FUN that you got to go to the concert!
ReplyDeleteK- and about your blog followers... you have far more followers than just 2. first of all, you have 5 people subscribing to your blog on google reader (ask me about that later). second, very FEW people actually use the "follow this blog" application, even if they really do follow your blog. i had to take the application off because it wasn't doing anything for me. to see how many hits you're actually getting (seriously, i am ridiculous. i love this stuff), get a site meter at www.sitemeter.com. it's totally free and SO accurate. it's amazing. xoxo
I love your writing, C. BTW, it's "were." No offense, just the input of a copy editor. In Spanish the equivalent is past subjunctive. "Si yo FUERA..." If you think about it, whenever you use past subjunctive in Spanish is when, in English, you SHOULD be using "were," or "were to." It's just that English-speakers are retarded and don't speak correctly.
ReplyDeleteAgain, no offense.
I'm done trying to make myself sound smart.
