Oops. =)

Anyway, I went into K-Mart one day with my stepmom so I could buy some new bras. I actually had one in my hand and was holding it up to my chest when Michael walked by and just stopped and looked at me. He’s so freakin’ tall I could never have hidden from him. So I just smiled really big like I was dying of embarrassment and said, “What do you think about this one?”

He just gave me a thumbs up and a wink and walked on. WHEW!

Yeah, Bob Buckel called and asked if I would come intern over the summer. I even got paid!

Everyone there was very, very nice. I just didn’t get to do the stuff they said I would. I mostly did classifieds, then one day near the end of the summer they made me go interview an elderly man who collected marbles. I kid you not. He was a very nice man and he actually had some interesting stories about the marbles (different countries he’d been to when he purchased them, etc.), but I was really disappointed that that was the only real story they let me work on.

Ah, well. It was really cool to help out on press days. I loved that part!

In my mind they were like newsies in there, and there was totally a jimmy olson or a clark kent. Please don’t ruin this illusion for me.

Holy crap. I’ve had a lot of jobs.
