Er...oops?

I'm not friending this and I friended the original post, so let me just say right off the bat, sorry for the confusion.

Ooh boy, that's a leetle too early to ramble.

Okay, so there was this person who came up to me in NYC and was like, "Have you ever thought of being a model?"

And my answer was, "Er...no." Because I have been carefully conditioned to think of myself as uuuuugly and hate my appearance. (Thanks high school!)

Anyways, she was trying to get me to go down for an evaluation and I was all, "Um, I have something to do uptown."

So she gives me her card and tries to convice me to call and that I can come down that week (I can't, I had school) or the weekend (can't, had work).

I go home. Tell my parents. My dad is all, it's a scam. My mom was like, call my friend, she's been in acting/modeling!

I do not. I don't call. I think it was a joke or something.

So, let's flash foward to today. I'm sitting out back with my mom, the above-mentioned friend, and another friend who has recently moved back to our area.

Anyways, the subject of a modeling agency somehow comes out and my friend says, "blah blah...Wilhelmina and Ford are major agencies."

My face must have shown what I was thinking.

Which was, "Oh fuuuuuuuuuuck."

And I found the card I was given, because I hadn't thrown it out, and I showed it to my friend.

The name of the agency on the card? Wilhelmina.

Oops.

My friend told me, "Do you realize I would have given my right arm to get a card like this. AND YOU DIDN"T CALL THEM BACK?!!!"

I. Am. A. Dumbass.

I talked to jennem about it and I am now going to have to call tomorrow. I seriously, seriously doubt that they would be interested. I in fact doubt that they would even want to see me.

But if I don't call them I will have my ass kicked. Which I should.

Oops.

I know this is my post will largely be the pot calling the kettle black but...

You should totally call. What do you have to lose? And you dont' know they won't be interested. You have no idea what they're looking for... not really. Don't judge yourself. Let them.

good luck.

See. Reg made the mistake of coming to me for support.

Instead I laughed my ass off for an hour, and then I told her if she didn't call I'd be very distraught. Well. Not in so many words. *G* I told her I dared her to call them, and that she was no longer allowed to call herself ugly in my presence. EVER!

And I'm going to stick to that...

As soon as I stop laughing. *BWHAHAHAHAHAHA*

Don't judge myself?

That's like asking a rainbow to stop being a rainbow.

That's like asking the rain not to get things wet.

That's like asking me to be proactive instead of lazy.

Actually, I know that I'm going to have to call. Why? Because my friend will totally kick my ass.

I, also, will come to Long Island and kick your ass. Except... I'll need a lift from the station. Come get me?

Wait. Don't I know you from somewhere?

I know! Weren't you listed in People Magazine as one of the fifty most beautiful people? I knew I recognized you from somewhere!

*G*

And for the record. You are a dumbass. For not believing in yourself and for not thinking that other people would see how special you are. Seriously, I think we're all gonna have to tie you down one day and make you listen to endless positive comments about yourself. Don't think I won't do it!

But as far as dumbasses go...you're the greatest dumbass in the world. *G*
