What Now

Huh.

Well, I might get to meet William Shatner after all.

Some of you know that we are celebrating the Space Camp 25th anniversary this year, and as a centerpiece to the whole shebang we are having a Space Camp Hall of Fame induction on July 13th where William Shatner will be appearing as the MC or something. I was pretty much told that I wasn't allowed to get near him, mainly because I had the marketing VP convinced I was a stalker. It was only a running joke that everyone else in the department seemed to understand, but the woman clearly thought I had a screw loose. However, after I pretty much told her that was a stupid thing to think (I have no couth), I was then told that I would be dressed as a pink lady and possibly escorting him to the stage. Of course, I didn't hear anything else about that, so today during our meeting, she asked if we could all work that event - and I asked her if I was still going to have to dress up. She said no, the Media Pimp, Al Whittaker, said yes. So, who knows? Anyways, at any rate, I know now that I will be working (NOT EATING! said the VP) the event, and so I might get the chance to meet him. I've already promised that I wouldn't jump out of a closet and attack Mr. Shatner. Of course, I had my fingers crossed. : ) I'd love it if some of you guys, whoever you are - this is the internet, so you could be anyone - would buy a couple of tickets to the event. There are a few of you out there who refuse to do this, and you will remain nameless and unblamed for your unwillingness to participate. Granted, it's going to be a kind of congratulatory, pat-ourselves-on-the-back event, but forget about that! Captain Kirk will be there!

I also think I freaked out our PR lady and her intern in the meeting this morning. I bought a package of candy paper the other day. Basically it's pressed sugar, potato starch and other things that I'm sure will be found to cause cancer in the near future. If you look closely at it, you can totally tell that it's not real paper, but if you see it from a distance, it looks exactly like paper. Anyway, I wrote my notes on it in a non-toxic pen and took it to the meeting. As a joke, I was going to fold it up and eat it after I finished talking. Since the VP is all torn up about this event, which I don't blame her a bit for being, I didn't get to read my notes like usual. So while they were talking, I started to rip off pieces of the candy paper and eat it. I saw the PR lady staring at me, and I saw the intern trying to look as if he weren't watching me, but I could tell they were bewildered. I was going to tell them what was up after the meeting, but I never got a chance. I'm sure as soon as things quiet down over there, they are going to be "wtfshewaseatingpaperomg!"

I"ll be an adult tomorrow.
