Of note...or notoriety
*ahem* - I am not sure whether this is indeed of note. It would seem I've just incurred my 15 minutes of fame (vis a vis Mr. Warhol - thank you very much, Andy).
Last night - I think around 10PM my bother called me to tell me I was famous. My little bro is a wonderful guy but he is also very Irish so sometimes I have to think that - even tho' he's never been there - he's managed to kiss the Blarney Stone.
Unsure of what he's talking about I obviously asked and was told that my blog was quoted in the Cleveland Plain Dealer UGH! Seriously. This newspaper is the 'only game in town' here and it sucks - in fact I think that they should PAY us to read it if they want circulation. However it is great as my brother put it for 'lining bird cages'.
I was kind of floored that they quoted me - I won't go into detail (ask me off line, e-mail me if you must know)...I really don't consider my blog worthy of newspaper print (well OK in *that* newspaper I suppose) - but really. And a lot of what I write can't be put into print (well not for general public consumption) - but I have written a lot nicer things - I guess with them being of a more personal nature they can't be used.
So gee - uhm guy at the PD thanks for quoting me, but I doubt I'll be 'signing up' for your blog roll any day soon (although I see some of my fellow NEOH bloggers have taken your bait and are somehow listed) - I fail to see what purpose this serves - as I've said to my fellow bloggers in the past - I don't write this for anyone but me - sure it's nice to somehow have an audience and to those of you out there kind enough to read (LOL and brave enough to comment) - thank you and you know I love you. I just don't see how readership of a newspaper I'd rather not read *myself* is going to help (or even matter) to my writing on my blog in this particular medium. I'd say I'm flattered but I'd be lying...
Mr. Hess, any comments? *hugs*
Respectfully submitted to my readership,
Colette (or Nellie Bly (oh and please don't write to me asking me who she was unless you want to be throttled))
