so, this could be me.. because the weirdest thing happened to me this

saturday. i was strolling the streets waiting for a friend, when i figured

i should go to his house, aka, the swedish church, aka 5th avenue, and

see if he was ready or not. the church wasn't open so i sat down on the

stone benches right outside of it. i had literally sat down for 30 seconds

when a man on the other bench leaned over and said something i couldn't

really catch. so i asked him to repeat it.

"i like your style, you seem like a cool girl. i work for oprah, you know,

'the oprah show'? i would like to make voice overs with you, for cartoons

at nickelodeon"

i approached him and asked him some more questions, thinking this was

too strange to be true. but he called mtv networks and talked with them

as if he really knew them, he showed me all these business cards and

he actually seemed to be who he said he was. the only problem at this

point was that i needed to give him an amount of cash right there and now,

which of course made me quite suspicious, but i decided to give it a shot.

when i walked away i, finally, got a hang of my friend who came straight

down and who had to calm me down first thing. we went to see this tracey

together and i realised that i was probably not allowed to take this job

with my current au pair visa, which i said to him. and he replied:

"oh, i though you were an american citizen, because you have to be..

sorry"

so no money was exchanged, no contracts were signed, no voice overs done

but he thought i was an american citizen?! with no foreign accent to my english?!

i guess that's a compliment or something..?!

"i wish i was a cartoon figure.."
