Oprah.
Ever since Tuesday when I watched the season premiere of Oprah's 19th season, the beginning of a year of 'the wildest dreams', I've been trying to come up with creative ways of how to get myself on to the show. NO, not because I want a free car but ?? for some reason I feel like I'm entitled to something?
So far I've ruled out disease (don't have nor do I know anyone who does, thank God). I have my university degree, so an all expense paid university scholarship + Tyra Banks makeover + $10,000 warddrobe upgrade is out of the question. I don't have any super duper talents (they had a 3 year old on the show who could recite all the presidents) and again I don't have a house that is in need of a dire makeover. I can't sing so I'm doubtful of being Oprah's Next American Idol (and I'm not over 40-I have that going for me =) and I don't want to be the worst singer in (north) America......
Hmmm, the only possiblity is if I a) invent something or b) discover something. With the advent of the Internet, even that is impossible because just when you think you've thought of something (hasn't happend yet) you google it and lo and behold, it exists.
The only other thing I can think of is becoming a heroine and saving someone's life. (Un)Fortunately, in my profession there aren't very many life-threatening things that can go wrong (although I have seen some people who seem quite ragey and say some pretty scary things when there code doesn't compile) and I don't forsee any life saving events happening any time soon. Unless of course......heee hehe I 'plan it'.. Okay, that probably won't get me on Oprah but into jail and then I'll be on the episode featuring 'the things crazy fans do' for being some crazed fan who desperately wanted to be on the show (although that sounds more like Maury- great, I'm definitely 'Maury' material).
I have an idea for Oprah. Why not have a show for us 'regular' Joe's and Jane's. We may not be the best singers/atheletes/discovers/life savers but we sure know how to be good viewers. 'Viewer' Appreciation day. I'm for it and throw some of your 'semi'-favorite things at us-we'll take'em!
