So, about that AXE gig…
May 8th
presentinnnng *dun dun dun* the failey con-cloo-jee-yon to my campaign for AXE Canada’s ridiculously, ridiculously good summer gig!
If you haven’t already figured I out, I did not win the AXE Gig.
I got the official call on Friday morning when I was at a Starbucks in Boston, but I had already sort of figured things out earlier in the week.
Receiving an email that said something along the lines of “Expect a call between 10 and 12 on Friday” was not a promising sign… especially after learning that all of the other contestants I’d spoken to were also expecting a call on Friday – except for the one who was expecting a call on Thursday…
After I was given the obligatory “You’re totally awesome! but…” spiel, I went and sat down at a corner table and cried for about 30 seconds (I’m kind of a cry-baby, if you haven’t noticed).
Fortunately, I was wearing big sunglasses to hide my face from the cute Barista boy who was probably like “wtf?” anyways.
I just kind of sat there for a few minutes feeling embarrassed and foolish, worrying about how I was going to tell all of the people who had blowing up my phone with “SO? DID YOU GET IT? HUH? DID YOU GET ITTTT???” all day.
And then I called my mom.
“Everything happens for a reason, hunny,” she said. “I truly think you’re meant for something even better than this.”
Her sentiment was echoed by several of my friends. And you know what? I’m kindasorta starting to believe them.
Maybe it won’t come with a free condo and 10 g’s – but I’m confident that something awesome will come my way this summer.
No, scratch that. Nothing is going to just “come my way” this summer. I’m going to make this the best damn summer I’ve ever had, free condo or no free condo! 10 thousand bones or no 10 thousand bones! Jay-Z or no Jay-Z!!! (though I really would like if it involve Jay-Z)
It took me about ten minutes to compose myself and mosey on back to ROFLcon after the little Starbucks sobfest.
It wasn’t long though before I was all “AXE who?”. Chilling with the best of teh interwebz distracted me nicely for the rest of the weekend. By the time I got back to Canada, I was pretty much over it. You win some, you lose some. C’est la vie, right?
Sure, I’m a bit disappointed… I mean, I did put a LOT of work into that competition – from the application process to the challenges to the press circuits and constant promoting. It was seriously like working another part-time job or taking an extra credit course or something. But I had a blast doing all of those things, so it’s not like it was all for nought.
Plus, I got the chance to meet a whole whack of great people (big shout-outs to the other 9 AXE kids!) and produce some fun things for my portfolio too (like my “day in the life”photos and one badass rap video).
Maddest of congrats to both Jamie and Al Hal – AXE Canada’s first ever consumer consultants!
I can say with 100% sincerity say that they’re both awesome people. Talented, fun and genuinely nice.
I know that they’re going to rock these jobs out hard and I can’t wait to read about the adventure. Hey – maybe we’ll even run into each other partying around the T-dot this summer!
Ain’t no shame in being being beaten by the best 
Jamie and Al are going to have one slammin’ summer in the city, but I’m sure the rest of the contestants will be doing cool things too.
As for me, the job hunt is ON.
Unless the producers of Fear Factor or the Amazing Race come a knockin’, there will be no more competitions for this kid (I just about puked when no less than 5 people sent me this link. As if!)
It’s time for your “consummate contest girl” to focus on her career. Her real career.
My official graduation is June the 12th, and if I don’t have a decent job by then I will be banished to les banlieues…
If I’m going to be a ghetto rat, damned if I’m not going to be a French one!
All of that being said, I’d like to give the biggest most heartfelt of THANKYOUs to each and every person who’s supported me in this AXE gig endeavor over the past four months. Thank you for your fan-signs, your votes, your comments and messages of encouragement. You + Me = friends forever. I’m serious.
I’m tempted to list the names of those who have gone above and beyond to help me, but there are just way too many of you to count and I’m worried that I’ll leave someone out. Instead, let me just say that I really, really, really love Sean Walsh, Nate Black, Chris Mitchell and, of course, Mommy and Daddy. Homies for life (and of THAT, I am actually serious.)
I think I should mosey on over to craigslist now… Mama needs to find herself a ridiculously, ridiculously, ridiculously good gig.
Please, play me off Keyboard Cat!
My Celebrity Doppleganger…
Apr 2nd
You know how when you’ve got a huge pile of work to do that you don’t really want to do because it’s basically SUMMERTIME in April and it’s also Good Friday and your friends are headed to the beach but you’ve got to go to school because you’re a journalism student at Western and that’s just how the program rolls so you go onto the internet and procrastinate by writing ridiculously long run-on sentences – sans commas – in a blog post that would totally drive your copyediting prof. mad with grammatically induced rage?
Yeah. That’s what I’m doing right meow.
I’ll make this snappy so that I can get back to transcribing / woefully staring out the window and wishing I were frolicking accross our beautiful campus.
*le sigh*
Somewhere, in the midst of 18 open Firefox windows on my laptop (yes, each with it’s own myriad of tabs. Thank goodness for that RAM upgrade at Christmastime), I found this little gem hiding between “jobs at college humor” and an article about robot journalists last night.
I had stumbled upon the doppleganger meme a few weeks ago (months after it was actually popular, I know) and didn’t get around to playing with it until well, just now.
I wasn’t overly impressed with the accuracy at first. I uploaded a whole whack of random photos and was getting the usual suspects – Kirsten Dunst, Cameron Diaz, Reese Witherspoon, Paris Hilton – blah. But THEN, something happened that blew my mind.
I uploaded a straight-on face shot from last year – a UWindsor grad photo from the cutting room floor that is my “scrap’d” folder.
And I found my doppleganger:
Bwahahahaha – Mad lulz! This seriously made my day.
Kthxbye.
Love Always,
Lauris Roberts.
OH WAIT! A PEE ESS!
P.S. – For everyone who’s been AXEing about the AXE gig – Did I win? Did I lose? Will I be having the greatest summer of my life?
I don’t know, I don’t know, and Yes – win or lose, this is going to be a summer to remember.
The winner of AXE Canada’s Ridiculously, Ridiculously good summer gig will be announced at the end of April.
Until that time, you can find me going about my bizznass singing “doo DOO doo doo, doo DOO doooo… doo DOO doo DOO DOOOO, doo doo doo doo doo…”
Singing, of course, because I can’t whistle and it’s not like I’m going to bring a piano around with me everywhere I go.
Come on now, let’s be realistic here!

Last Day to Vote: Why Lauren O’Neil should be AXE Canada’s next consumer consultant
Mar 31st
Gooooood Hump day morning dames and gents!
Today is March the 31st.
This is significant for two reasons.
1. It’s the day before April Fool’s Day. Consider yourself forewarned.
2. It’s the last day of public voting for AXE Canada’s Ridiculously, Ridiculously good summer gig.
This means that I will no longer be spamming your tweetfeed with “LAUREN FOR AXE” propaganda. (promise!)
It’s been a blast and a half so far – seriously. I’m so glad I decided to apply for this competition. I’ve had a crazy fun three months AXEing it up with challenges, promoting the gig when I’m out on the town, and getting to know some of the other competitors.
They’re all bomb as Hiroshima, fyi.
You should really follow them all on Twitter right meow -> @bigalhal @Tatomme @axegirljaime @vaughnturnbull @max_marcus @bryankellyaxe @jamesclift @mkrundle @xbrandimacx
Something else that you mayyyy want to do? Vote me up in the ibeatyou.com “best pick up face challenge“. I’ve dropped to number 5 (Damn you Von Star!) – but if I can rise back up through the ranks to beat out all of the other AXE competitors, I could win me an XBOX and play video games all night long forever and ever…
HELP ME REALIZE THIS DREAM.
The final thing that I’m going to ask you for, dear reader, is a fan sign (if you haven’t already hooked me up with one). You have until midnight tonight to get one in – if I get two more, the bikini run is a go. No snow left, but I’ll make it hilarious somehow. Trust.
Full fansign making instructions can be found here, and if you need some inspiration, check out my good looking friends below:
And if you want a little bit more inspiration (or you’re just a perv like me who enjoys looking at hot, near-naked dudes), check out this fansign that Tatomme got…
No idea who this guy is, but that’s freaking mad support right there. Hey Frikshun -I know you’re packing better than this under those snazzy duds. Let’s shown ‘em up!
Finally, I would like to share with you some reference letters.
As part of the application for this gig, we were required to submit two letters of reference. I could sit here and tell you all about how I’d rock this gig out so hard your mind will legitimately EXPLODE – but imma hand the mic over to my boys Chris and Nate to do it for me.
They’re both kind of a big deal, if you didn’t already know:
I hope whoever’s job it is to read these letter has found this one near the top of the pile, because now you don’t need to read the rest. Hopefully you’re also being paid for the task and not by the hour.
There is no one more suited to be the Axe Spokesgirl than the girl I’m endorsing: Lauren O’NizzleWe met this summer when I was TA-ing her journalism class. She quickly proved herself to be the most talented writer, an enthusiastic learner and a hard worker.
For the first radio story she covered, she drove alone to Motown Records in Detroit the day Michael Jackson died.
She was the one little blond girl in a crowd of thousands of MJ-celebraters, pointing a microphone at anyone who had something to say.
Just one of many examples of the drive and fierce independence Lauren showed when I worked with her.The girl is:
-up for any adventure, and gutsy enough to lead them.
-funny enough to make you laugh when she’s making fun of herself.
-always immaculately dressed, looking sharp, smart and sexy without being slutty.
-every kind of smart: street-wise, book-smart, media-literate and tech-savvy.
-all over social media; one of the few people I know who blogs, tweets and Facebooks things worth reading.All this and she’s modest too.
Forget Paris, forget Britney, forget Angelina. There is only O’Nizzle.
This might all sound like hyperbole, but rest assured, I’m understating Lauren’s talents.
She’s like a shotgun shooting fireworks to the moon.
This is the girl you’re looking for.Sincerely,
Chris Mitchell
*tear*
I love you Chris Mitchell.
To The Axe Summer Gig Selection Team:
I would like to recommend Lauren O’Neil as a candidate for the upcoming Axe Summer Gig Campaign. Why? Because she is awesome. And not just your run-of-the-mill awesome either. She emanates an aura of awesome that is conducive to proliferating further awesomeness in those around her. I have worked with this young lady on a few ventures into pseudo-journalism and while she is more than capable of conducting herself in a professional manner, she is even more effective when she lets loose her unbridled wit and seeks to entertain.
In the last few months Lauren has wowed us with her brand of wit and sheer tom-foolery. She’s quick on her feet, and an expert at taking others off their guard and induce hilarity… and she’s kind of hot. Did I mention that? I’m not sure if it’s the blonde hair or the winning smile, but the woman’s got charisma for days.
In our ever changing world it has become apparent that there will be leaders and there will be followers. Lauren is a leader. When she speaks people listen. When she Tweets people follow. Lauren is a whiz with video editing, adept at graphic design, and a master of the written art… and she makes a mean omelet… that’s one of the requirements right?
In short Lauren is hilarious, outspoken, aesthetically appealing, and has established herself on the forefront of social media. She was born for great things. Give her a summer the world will remember.
Yours truly,
Nate H
Editor- The Lion’s Den University
Nate, you are the wind beneath my wings. #kitteh
PS. I love you.
Welp, that is all for now friends. I’ve REALLY got to get to school and transcribe me a long, long interview and get cracking on a prezi for tomorrals.
Thank you all so very, very much for your support. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
I won’t find out if I’ve landed the gig or not until the END OF APRIL (The suspense will surely kill me!) – but you know I’ll be posting all about it, win or lose, when the time comes.
In the meantime, you can find me all up over teh internetz doing what I do.
Now, and forevermore…
Love,
Lauren.
The “Lauren for AXE” Rap!
Mar 29th
I know you’ve already seen my rap recitation skills on the teevee, but this jam is an original. Penned it meself! Err… keyed it, rather.
I hope you like it (enough to send me a fansign by tomorrow! 
ja? )
Presenting, Lauren O’Neil for Axe Canada in “Lauren for Axe” – a corny white girl production…
Aight DJ – Let’s hit it!
If you liked that track, please feel free to spread the worrrrrd to your mothah (and like, everybody you know.)
In other AXE gig related news, I was on the radio again this morning! This time, in my sweet awesome hometown of Chathawesome, Ontario.
It was nice to return to CKSY, even if only for a few minutes.
I did an internship there during highschool and let me tell you, kids – it was good times. If you want a sweet highschool internship, work at a radio station. So chill.
I used to love driving around in those big ol’ CKSY/ROCK vans, dropping off prizes to lucky listeners. It really was a sweet little gig… until that one fateful day when an old lady t-boned me coming out of a parking lot and spoiled my less-than-25-years-of-age-and-thus-no-longer-allowed-to-drive-the-company-vehicle fun. #oldpeoplecantdrive
Anyways, big ups to my homie Chris McLeod at CKSY for interviewing me. Look – here he is with a monkey!
I effing love monkeys.
Somebody send me a monkey or five.
I’m on the fast track towards becoming a crazy cat lady, and that kind of bothers me. It’s not a very original identity. “The crazy monkey lady”, on the other hand… I could be the ORIGINAL!
Love,
“BLARHGHBLAHHBLAHRAAAHHBLARRHGH!!!”
LaurenCam – LIVE!
Mar 27th
A hoy hoy, bluddies!
(blog+buddy=bluddy. get it?)
I got a lot of great responses on my last post. Glad you all enjoyed my misfortunes so much…
Bwahaha…
No, but seriously. I get it. I’m the king of Schadenfreude. I think I watched Scarlet take a tumble just about every day for 3 months straight.
I’m glad that, if nothing else, my dented bank account and bouts of hair-pulling frustration could at least score my homies a few lulz.
Just a quicky post here to let y’all know that tomorrow, I’ll be doing up a live webcam chat right here on the internet!
Maybe I will wear a green face mask.
Most likely, I will not.
I tested out my Ustream channel the other day and had like, 25 people watching me blab about random things for about 45 minutes. It was very very random but very very fun thanks to some cool cats keeping me company in the chatbox.
So, if you’re bored around 9pmEST tonight (Sunday) and you want to come chat and watch me act a fool in my room, join us here! And please keep in mind that…
1. Tough guys and Trolls will ridiculed and subsequently booted. Obvs.
Cool kids only, plz.
2. I will be broadcasting live and while I will try to keep my potty mouth censored, I cannot guarantee that a few eff-words, ess-words and vee-words won’t slip out. You know – French Fry, Soda pop, VAGINA…
If you’re easily offended, you might want to skip this show and go watch Nascar or do something equally boring instead.
3. Ask me to take my clothes off, and you’ll go the way of the trolls. Didn’t your mommy ever teach you to respect a lady?
4. I sound kind of like a chipmunk, just so you know.
Well that’s all for now, friends.
I’ve got a hot date with a little pink pill and a nice warm bed
mmmm bedadryl…
(bed+benadry = bedadryl. get it?)
Sweet dreams, peaches & creams!*
Love, Launizzle
(Lauren+Nizz-… yah. you get it.)
*sleep-deprived-rhyme-attempt-FAIL
PS – Please vote me up in this pick-up-face challenge for the AXE gig on ibeatyou.com if you’ve got a minute to spare!
If I’m in first place by the 31st, I’ll win an Xbox!!!
How sick would that be?
Which reminds me… only 4 days left to Vote Lauren For AXE! ahDhdasdsjHDJjhDJHd!!!!
The Cluster Fizzle & a txt war with Al Hal.
Mar 22nd
Every day, I fall in love with a new Tumblr blog.
I’ve been spending a lot of time cruising the Tumblrverse lately. It’s a humour-loving procrastinator’s playground.
If you don’t already know, tumblr = the new awesome.
Actually, it’s been teh awesome for a while… I’m just kind of slow to catch on (unless you contrast me with my grandma or something. Homegirl hasn’t even cracked 100 followers on Twitter yet. Psh.)
My Tumblr blog of t’day = But You’re Like Really Pretty.
From my understanding, it’s some artist guy who creates these hilarious little celeb-slamming comics and presents them to the world on his tumblr blog as an animated version of Regina George.
I’m loving it. And not only because I watched Mean Girls TWICE this weekend (bringing my lifetime total views of that film up to a kabillion and two.)
Anyways, The reason I set out to blog today during class during my free time is to turn your attention to the AXE CANADA RIDICULOUSLY RIDICULOUSLY SUMMER GIG COMPETITION – again.
Our latest challenge - “24 hours with” - is ready for your entertainment! Hoorah!
The top five guys were paired up with the top give girls for a day long text-message/camera phone pic interview challenge sort of thingamajig… it was good times.
If you could mosey on over and vote and comment, well gee golly jeepers, that would be just swell!
Big ups to Mr. Al Hal, my partner in crime for this challenge.
You can see my interview Q’s for him on his page, and you might as well toss a vote his way while you’re over there voting lauren for axe, because he’s one chilll ice muthalovah!
I can’t believe how fast all of this AXE stuff has flown by… we’re almost at the end of the voting period! Little over a week to go, eeee! Get those fansigns in, gentlemen! I still need like, 11 more before the bikini run can happen.
Let’s make it happen, kids.
Lahv, Lahv, Lahv,
Lauren O’Neeeeeil.
Pee Ess -> If you like Nizzle, you’ll love the cluster fizzle!
klockan woes and super tea…
Mar 15th
It’s been a long, long day. A rollercoaster of a day.
It all began with an unexpected spring forward…
Despite being told a katrillion times, I totally goofed on the Daylight Savings noise. Again.
Last year, I showed up to yoga mid Savasana and totally broke everybody’s bliss with a big ol’ “JEEBUS FRICK ARE YOU KIDDING ME? HOW THE HAY DID I FORGET THIS SHITE – AGAIN!?!”
Fortunately, the bad news that I had lost an hour of my day was broken to me by my blackberry and not an irritated mob of sweaty hippies this year.
Despite having a ree-bloop-u-lously jam packed Sunday sched, I decided to let myself sleep until *gasp* NINE O’CLOCK today. I know; crazy! Maxo relaxo, righ’?
After my stupid alarm clock blared for about 20 minutes, I finally pried my eyelids apart and reached over to give my baby a little bit of good morning love.
I immediately noticed that it was NOT 9:21. It wasn’t even 9:22. Nope. It was – as you may have already predicted – 10:21.
UP I JUMPED! Like an excited fur baby on Hallowe’en morning!
It was 10:22 am and my BFF was slated to arrive from Toronto in just over an hour.
I hadn’t even showered yet – let alone cleaned my room and cranked out a solid run on the treadmill while simultaneously doing my school readings for tomorrow like I had planned.
SO I hauled eh-ess-ess and got done as much as I could… (needless to say, the space under my bed is now significantly more cluttered with stuff than it was this morning).
The rest of the day was pretty chaotic, but it was also wonderful… and terrible. It was a productive, hilarious, frustrating, rewarding, delicious, spooky, confusing and long, long day…
Thank goodness I had a few awesome friends handy to cheer me up along the way.
I’ll give you a few of the highlights before I drag my patootie away from the web and into the bed.
Today, I…
- Shot and edited a complete (and pretty badass, if I do say so) minute-long music video. Look for it soon on www.axesummergig.ca
- Cut a demo reel and shot an epic-ish audition tape. Wish me luck…
- Made a really big salad. Nothing ish about it. It was straight epic.
- Had some deericious purple-rice veggie sushi and drank magical flowering elixir at Zen Garden (their specialty is special tea)
- Discovered a new favourite-video-ever of the day (maybe even the week – it’s seriously effing awesome).
Big ups to my girl Dez for introducing me to the beauty that is Ninjasonik.
That’s the best of the good today. The bad sucked up an equal amount of time – but the bad can suck on my nyutz. The bad doesn’t belong on my blog or in my consciousness…
You see, I am just so very zen right now. Thank you special magic flower tea
Now, slumber must I. (Did I mention the 10 seconds that I was forced to watch Yoda kick some dude’s butt on the flatscreen at school? Star Wars was on TV.)
G’night puppykins!
<3 Leelee
P.S. - Does anybody know where I can get this alarm clock???
AXE Challenge # 3 – The pick up face.
Mar 6th
People often ask me how I manage to pull in so many boys when I’m out at the club / bar / grocery store / funeral parlour.
Not to brag or anything, but I’m sort of an expert when it comes to picking up – and I think this confuses a lot of the girls I come across.
I mean, it’s not like I’m especially good looking or perfectly styled or or anything. I don’t have crazyhuge boobies, I can’t apply foundation for the life of me, I suck at accessorizing and I’m not Ms. Janie Pop-Bottles.
I’m definitely more of an Amanda Bynes than a Megan Fox; know what I’m sayin’?
Yet, despite my inherent goofiness and my lack of hair-poofing prowess, I always seem to get mad attention from the opposite sex. Admittedly, almost every girl with two legs and a relatively hairless upper lip gets hit on like crazy when she steps into a nightclub – that’s just the way it is. But I get hit on a LOT… even when I’m rolling with chicks who are undeniably way hotter than I am.
So, what is it that makes guys walk past those busty, lipstick wearing beauties and roll up to my klutzy blonde ass instead? Are they attracted to my confident swagger? The mustard stain on my shirt? Can they tell that within my head I hold a wealth of random useless trivia knowledge and have the entirety of “Songs in the Key of Springfield” memorized? Do they figure that maybe they have a better chance of scoring with the girl who’s rocking chipped nail polish, as opposed to the goddess beside her with the flawless French mani?
It’s probably the latter, but I like to think that it’s because I’ve enticed them with my tried and true PICK UP FACE :
K, so usually I’ve got a straw, not a finger, in my mouth, but you get the idea.
The point of this little blabbity bloo is that The latest AXE gig challenge has been posted! Yes, it’s true!Check it ooot, pee-poles!
Have YOU got a good pick up face? If so, it could win you a year’s supply of AXE Products. Go enter the AXE SUMMER GIG Best Pick up face photo competition at ibeatyou.com and play with us!
Come on – I’ve showed you mine, now you show me yours Or at the very least, head on over to vote for your girl. I promise to share the wealth if I do, in fact, win the challenge.
Now, I must go finish my readings about the hegemony of instrumental rationality in the news for “Media Theory & Criticism” class before I go out and kill some brain cells with a few bevvys and a whole lot of loud, loud music.
Work before play and all that jazz… you know how it is
<3 L
P.S. -> You’ve got 2 days left to tag yourself in an “I vote for Lauren fansign” on Facebook before that challenge is over and I FAIL EPICALLY. Unless I get like, 14 more signs by Monday, it looks like the bikini run is a no-go. BLARGHHGHGHGG!!! >:(
Challenge # 2 – SPEEDYLAU!
Feb 23rd
Oi, Chommies!
Want to see me stumble over my words and blather on about myself for two minutes straight? Sweet! Meet me at the coffee shop in 20 minutes – I’ll be happy to oblige you…
But in the meantime, you should check out my video for the AXE Canada ridiculously, ridiculously good summer gig competition’s second challenge – aka “Challenge # 2 : Speed Round”
(I totally give you permission to roll your eyes at that image. What can I say? I’ve got a monstrous annotated bibliography due on Thursday and I’ve got to procrastinate SOMEHOW…)
For this challenge, we were given 5 questions and 2 minutes to answer them. The questions were mailed to us in advance, but they remained sealed off in an envelope that sat on my desk until it was time to film myself opening it.
That little white envelope sat there taunting me all week… calling to me in my dreams, beckoning me to open it – “oooohpen… meeee…” it whimpered in a tiny little voice that only I could hear until I started taking my anti-psychotics again…
But I didn’t open it; I was good – and that was hard! BUT, it did teach me that I actually DO have a little bit of willpower inside of me somewhere. Now if only I could tap into that reserve when I’m walking by a sample sale… *sigh*
I apologize for the atrocious quality of the video. I had gone home to Chatham for the long weekend (yey @ “family day”, whatever the hey-dee-hi-ho-hoo that is!) and I remembered to bring home one of the $30,000 professional broadcast quality television cameras from school with me. What I forgot to bring home with me was a tape for it. Lauren O’Nizzle, supergenius extraordinaire, at your service ladies and gentlemen Fortunately, I had a Samsung mini-viddy circa 2004 chilling in my bedroom closet. It did the trick. It made me look like a fuzzy jaundiced hostage, but it did the trick.
Now, I must go eat some peanut butter on a spoon and paint my fingernails sea-foam green while watching season 2 of Dexter.
It’s been a lonnng day – I deserve some “me time”, I think. And so do you! So go ahead and do something relaxical for a little while. Dr. O’Nizzle prescribes it. All work and no play makes homer something something…
DON’T MIND IF I DO!!!!
Love Always,
Speedy Gon-Lee-lee
Pee Ess -> I know that relaxical isn’t really a word. If you haven’t noticed yet, I really like words that aren’t words.
Look Mom! I’m a SAH-LEB-RAH-TEE! (x4)
Feb 22nd
Oh me, oh my! I’m feeling positively famous these days… No big deal.
Okay, so “famous” might be a bit of a stretch – but can you blame a girl for getting excited? I mean, who doesn’t like to see their own mug splayed across the pages of a local newspaper? It’s freaking cool!
Ch-ch-check it, folks:
London Free Press : UWO student in line for $10K summer job
Chatham-Daily News : A summer gig to die for
Chatham This Week : Local woman in the running for national AXE gig
University of Windsor Daily News : UWindsor grad in running for sweet summer gig
¡Muy excitemento!
This AXE gig competition is really ramping up, boys and girls. Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been interviewed no less than five times. And no more than 5 times. I’ve been interviewed 5 times, I should say… whatever. Sorry. Anyways, I’ve got another interview on Friday – this one, live on that there Teevee box *gulp*.
Please welcome fellow contestant Maddie and I into your living rooms this Friday, Feb. 26th at 11:00am and 3:00pm – we’ll be on Rogers’ Daytime.
By the way – have you seen Challenge # 1 yet? A day in the life of yours truly – photoblog style…
C’est Tout for today.
