How about 12 Minutes?

I was talking yesterday about Heidi Montag, I know I asked the same question. Why?

Well it was actually about horrible 'celebrity' plastic surgery. I use the term 'celebrity' loosely, pun intended. Has she been relevent since she was plastered all over TV like 5 years ago?

No really, tell me because I don't have cable so I'm kind of out of the 'pop culture' loop. She and her douche boyfriend and many countless others are famous for doing nothing of substance. Famous because people love to hate them, is that what you want to be known for? When there's a paycheck for $10,000 an episode or a club appearance I guess people will do anything to give away their souls.

I won't. I came into this world with nothing and I intend to leave that way as well. However, if I have a little something in between, what's so bad? I just channeled my late little Jewish Grandmother right there.

Anyway, as a writer (self-proclaimed introvert) I don't know how I would handle my fifteen minutes if that ever came to pass. The only reason I got through my college public speaking class was because I had two friends in there and a boy who done me wrong so I had revenge, venom and stellar comedic timing fueling my speaking assignments. I had to do a speaking assignment on "Games People Play" I started it off by saying "I never get to be the car." Please let me know if people who weren't in that class get that.

So you (i.e. a girl I know, i.e. myself) are a semi-reclusive introverted mad scientist with words, you write your first novel, whew ok that's done you made it through all the while never leaving the comfort of your desk chair. SUCCESS…uh oh. All of sudden you're jet-setting, going to fan forums, conventions, talk shows, etc. The first interview…*crickets* you realize that you have Technophobia and the fear of video camera operators, what now?

So my question to all of you is how would you spend your 15 minutes of fame? How would you fare, would you make the best of it? Extend it longer than 15 minutes, or fizzle out before the last click of the clock? I'm curious to know.

I know a lot of my posts have been about making money and being famous and all that, but I would be lying if I said I didn't want that. I like to be open and honest about how my mind works.

Do I believe that it will happen?

Hell Yes!

Happy Friday all: don't forget today is #shamelessplugfriday!!!! Plug away my friends plug away!
