I am SO on Ellen right now!

Every time something weird happens to me I assume I am going to be on Ellen.

For example:
Yesterday at Starbucks there was a guy with a cartoonish voice. First I was alarmed, was he waiting to see how I was going to react? Is he in comm. arts classes doing a social experiment? The non-verbal communication class did this at my college. They would be awkward and stand too close and look at you, and then they would write about your reaction. Stupid classes, making everyone feel uncomfortable.

Basically I looked at him with an “I know what you’re up to” look. And then he looked at me weird! He definitely just had a terrible voice. Poor guy. He stood too close to me at the cream/ napkin area and when I wiped up the half and half that had been spilled, due to the typical Starbucks morning traffic (I always do this because I think spilled dairy is disgusting), he thanked me as if he worked there… that got me thinking…

I’m on Ellen! He is using a funny voice and I did something any normal nice human would do! I’M SO WINNING MONEY! I was all like, “Okay Amy and Andy, where are you!? You can come out now with my $100!” (Don’t worry; I didn't say it out loud.)


I walked out of Starbucks waiting for my waiver to sign so I could be on TV…  Nothing happened. I was actually disappointed.

Moral of this story: I need to stop watching TV. Sometimes people are seriously awkward and it doesn't mean you are going to be on TV or that you are going to win money.

  1. Perhaps it's just me, but I feel like living here in PDX I have really raised my expectations of what counts as something weird happening. On the other hand, whenever I visit my siblings in LA, I always am on edge wondering...

  2. my biggest fear is I am going to make an ass of myself and end up on ellen because of it...or even worse those stupid hidden camera shows that look to see if you're going to react like a nice human being would and i would fail.
