It's been a few days but the memory is still fresh enough in my mind to describe my amazing experience that was the Wendy Williams show correspondent position. Here goes(:
I was on the internet making my rounds on tumblr, facebook, hob.org,mockingjay.net, dtwc when i saw on all 3 sites that there was going to be a competition for the biggest Hunger Games fan to be flown to the premiere and get to interview the stars on the red carpet. I had already entered to win tickets to the premiere on the 50 days to the Hunger Games 50/50 contest all over twitter. I had probably entered 30, but this was different cause instead of just seeing the movie, you got to be on the red carpet. I really just wanted to see the movie early but this was really awesome too! So I got busy with school ,recently quitting my jobs, and just being depressed about it. I remembered a couple of days after I saw it and I was like oh well I'll try it! I didn't list/tag my videos or even put titles on them because I did not want anyone to see them. I had just gone to Sephora so my make up looked cool and I was content. So I proceeded to talk about how I was a fan and showed off all my little items I had collected. I remembered that this was for the biggest fan but it is the Wendy show at the end of the day so I did my "How you doin" and I made sure to say how I watch her and I love fashion (as I very much do). So I uploaded it. I got a little nervous cause in my video I said "well I;m not the BIGGEST fan" and as uploaded that I was like crap, I should not have said that. I mean clearly I love the book but I run a blog and I have seen other fans with their tattoos and everything! So luckily when you entered the videos there was a comment thing so I made sure to say that! Anywho, I was not going to loose any sleep over it and was watching tv. I checked my phone (15 min after I uploaded the video) it was a number I didn't know and they left a message! I thought this couldn't be them...and I quickly squashed that idea. Realizing oh gosh no. But then I heard "this is dan from the wendy show!" I called him back, left a message and said I would wait forever for him to call again! This time my phone never left my side! And when he called back we talked about the books and everything! Then he told me how Wendy had not read them so explain it to her and my video was great but to bump up my energy in the next one! He wanted me to do another and talk about the reality tv aspect like I mentioned and the fashion! He said no one else had mentioned the fashion. I take these books pretty seriously so initially I was trying to talk about the government and stuff but my sister who was filming it was like "this is wendy, she's gonna want fun! remember what he said about fashion and reality tv" so I kept trying to just focus on that but I was tired and he needed it by the next morning! I had already taken my makeup off and was in my pjs and I just wanted to sleep. When I get tired or don't feel well I get really cranky. But if I try enough I can fool anyone in to thinking I'm ok so the final product I was a t my wit's end, I was tired of stuttering and I was in so much pain but I turned on the charm and turned up the energy! So yes, the rest is history! He called me 2 days later and said I was in the top 10. He said I would stay in a hotel and go on the show the following day. So that was Friday, and the following Tuesday I would fly out. In one week since I made the video, I was off to New York! I will blog about that experience later!(:
MJ- I cannot HANDLE your life right now! It is so very fun. I am requesting, on your trip, in your spare time, that you update this blog for me :) Thank you and God bless!
