Make me a star!

No really, I want to be famous. I'm not talking about the type of fame that comes with being an actress or a singer. I want to be a YouTube celebrity (my site) or maybe become famous for my blog (which isn't going to happen... I have all of 8 followers, and I'm really not blogging about anything that people actually want to read about...).
They (I'm not really sure who "they" are, btw) say that everyone gets 15 minutes of fame, and I want that. I need some success in my life. I feel as if most things I start, I finish, but I'm not entirely successful because I'm not completely satisfied with the outcome.
For example: this blog. I'm not satisfied with the way it has turned out, and I've just stopped posting. I want it to be light, and funny, and instead, it's become heavy and serious.
Back to the fame. This past week was the American Idol tryouts in Austin, Tx. I actually let my friends convince me to dress as Lady GaGa and sing Bad Romance. I'm not a great singer, but my outfit was outrageous! I was hoping that maybe, I could at LEAST get some TV time, but I doubt that I will. I'm not particularly outgoing, and this was a huge step for me. I not only spoke in front of strangers, I SANG! It was amazing and terrible at the same time. I felt as if my knees were going to give out, but I did it. And then... The judges just sat there, looking at me. They didn't even smile, and that was my intention, I meant to be funny, and they didn't see it at all. I was a little embarrassed, but also proud of myself. I had the confidence, for the first time in my life, to do something like this, to be judged, and I was ok, I was still alive, and not any worse for the wear.

Anyways, this airplane slide beer guy makes me remember that I want to be famous. I'm sure that his intention wasn't to be famous, but rather to go out with a bang. I want to live with a bang, instead of just going out with a bang.
I'm going to be working on that bang in the next few weeks. Seriously, I'm going to make more videos, blog more, and even come up with new ideas, maybe I can figure something out.

Also, one of my co-workers, Allison, and one of her friends,Rachel have this SUPER cute, funny blog that I think you should all follow. She is hilarious and very fashion forward, and her blogs are the epitome of cute. They seem to have a few inside jokes, but not so inside that you don't understand the references to pop culture. I seriously can't stress how cute and funny she is, in real life, and in her blog. Check it out here: Besprinkled!
