I know a lot of time on this site I bitch and whine and moan about how terrible this year was. And it WAS. Don't get me wrong - it has been a fucking horrific year.
But this weekend almost made up for it. Allow me explain.
Friday and Saturday I was in a religious retreat. Let me preface this by saying that I am not a crier. I can watch any chick flick and not cry. I can read Where the Red Fern Grows and not cry. What I apparently cannot do is go to this retreat and not cry. I was bawling the whole time.
And this retreat, despite me crying like a baby the whole time, was one of the best experiences of my life.
Then I got home, checked a few of my sites, and realized that all of a sudden I was very popular on the internet. So I did a quick google image search of "Enna Stein topless" and after that pulled up nothing (whew!) I started trying to figure out where it was all coming from.
Remember when I said I started writing letters to Ira Glass, and how I was a dorky, sad little girl because my dream was to be on This American Life? Well...Ira listened.
OK let's be realistic (I used to work in television, so I can almost guarantee this next point as fact) some INTERN listened. That intern posted my blog Letters to Ira Glass on the This American Life Facebook page.
This gave me something to celebrate. I hadn't celebrated anything in a year, so it felt good to go out on the town and tear it on up with Eric.
So, how was your weekend?
You never know where that door will open or who will turn the knob. The only problem is sometimes shining all that light on you can make you downright uncomfortable. Oh, and just remember the law of averages. If this year was "fucking horrific" the next one ought to be "fucking great" or great ________ which ever you prefer.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome! Congrats! (I'm kind of surprised how sincerely happy for you I am, because you're a stranger and I should be jealous.)
ReplyDeleteIt's just a matter of time before you're invited on the show. Please keep us posted!
