FAMEous



I think i've always wanted to be famous. I love the idea of having my name in print. Maybe seeing news reports about my daily activities would be kind of fun too.
"kristin went shopping today at her local mall WITHOUT makeup!"
Maybe not. I would have to work out strategies to deal with the media. Maybe constantly tell the media falsehoods and back them up with facts that don't fit.
Media: have you ever had sexual relations with this man?
Me: i have never seen that man in my life. But i have 10 pairs of his knickers in my
bed.
Somehow fame allude me still. No matter what i do i can never catch it. There is always some one who can do what i do better than me. Someone even does my own name better than me! I googled my name and i don't rank on the top 5! Turns out there is a woman who does art who ranks higher. and if i google my maiden name there is a skier who hold my name better than i!

Shakespear onces asked the question, "What is in a name?" He asked the question and then suggested that a name has no power over the being. Terry Pratchet says that words have enormous power. The name of an object changes it. What do i think? i think i should spend less time worrying where my name ranks on the world counter and pay more attention to stuff that really matters. Maybe like sweatshop nike....

I couldn't be famous. I'd always be making public apologies. I'm not good at apologies.

Do you remember when we google-image searched our first names at uni? Or was that Kush and I? It was in the office, I remember that. And the results were disturbing.

I'm still not sure how I feel about sharing my first name with pornstars who turn up on google searches. Hibiscuses are another matter...

And if you're having probs becoming famous, maybe work in becoming infamous instead ;)

lol! Maybe i should put a large metal bucket on my head and cut a hole to see thru. i bet then i'd get noticed! (this is probably how Ned Kelly started out...you know, right before they shot him 6 times then hung him) maybe infamous isn't the way to go either:P

I kind of wonder whether with Ned Kelly it was all just about wanting to be a mailbox.

You could also try the Bob and Tammy-Faye Baker route with becoming televangelists, taking off with lots of money and wearing too much makeup? Oohh, sexy 1980s reference there *shudder*

Sod, it's Jim! And it's spelled Bakker... Knew there was something wrong there. Perhaps it stems from only being 6 when the 80s ended. And you do try to repress the memories of big hair, shoulderpads and so on.
