Unwanted recognition

I saw Pirates of the Caribbean 3 today. That is not, in my eyes, the most interesting thing that happened. I got the CDs I sent the money off for two months ago, but that's not the most interesting thing either. I bought a present for someone at an insanely reduced price, but that's not it either.

The most interesting, embarrassing thing that happened to me today was when I was paying for the aforementioned gift. I was with my mum, my brother and my little sister. The guy behind the till, (pretty attractive, blond hair, nice eyes) looked up at me as he was handing the card back and said

"You are the one who was on Small Talk, aren't you?"

Many of you know that I blush quite easily. Well it was a prize-winner this time, I looked down and silently died while my brother and mum laughed. (Esther would have only been a baby at the time so she was a bit bemused by it all.)

I got out of there fairly quickly, extremely distressed and laughing at myself, before having the presence of mind to actually talk to the poor guy. I thought he looked like Sean, a kid I went to primary school with, and the receipt confirmed that.

I don't talk about my brief brush with fame, mostly because my 8-year-old self was an idiot, and having that idiocy broadcast to the nation isn't much to be proud of.

But yes. Here, on my blog, where I am loved and accepted by all three of my regular readers, I am finally coming clean: I was on TV once. And I am not ashamed.

Well, I am slightly ashamed. Just don't tell people, yeah?

  1. Awww check you, lil miss superstar!!! :luv:

    Still that means that this chap (attractive one too, sniffle) saw you when he was little and thought "OMG she's pretty" or... something, and has been waiting all that time to see you! You probably made his day.

  8. well that's five of us so far!
    hi everyone, nice to meet you! :)
    we should all get together and make "i love anna" badges or something.
    doesn't really matter what we do, the fact that we're doing something together will embarrass her enough.

  9. i think we should all post blogs that are titled 'anna' and the content should say 'i love anna because...'
    and then we each fill in our own!
    i'm going to do it...i hope other will follow suit.

  17. Do you think we can find enough stuff to talk about to get it up to 25 comments ? What do my fellow members of the fan club think ? CAN WE DO IT ?

    ReplyDelete

    in fact i think we should all introduce ourselves so we can get to know each other.

    i'm sarah, and i'm an anna-holic.
    (met anna through david/the internet)

  20. Hmm, let's see.... My name is Fat Tony, I love Anna because.... guh, too many reasons!

    I would post a blog on MySpace saying "I love Anna because...." but I'd probably get teased for it, and slapped with a tin of salmon
