Top 3 Reasons Why I'm a Dork

May 19, 2008

ok I really only have one...but if you ask victoria I'm sure she could give you a long list! 

So here's my embarrassing story:

After the premier of Can You Duet I was on the message board for the show reading some of the blogs... (come on don't pretend you all don't stalk your own message boards I know you do!!!)

anyway, one of the threads was asking who's song our audition song was.  Someone replied that it was a wreckers song.  Well it was actually a wild honey song that Vic and I wrote so in order to protect my art.... (heehee that sounds so pretentious... heheee) I....

created a fake profile and signed in as countrygirly84...  i think I tried a couple other names like taylorswift4life and maybe carrierocksmysocks but nothing worked so I settled on countrygirly84... fairly ambiguous right??? heehee

so I wrote something on the thread like " I think it's a wild honey song! It's up on their myspace page!!" Complete with a link to our site...shameless plugging I know but whatever..we all do it!

So in the last few weeks (and this could be so much worse...) I think I've only written on the board one other time under the favorites thread I simply wrote "I like wild honey!"  True statement... right? I mean.. I DO like wild honey!!!

So this is where it gets embarrassing...  The other day one of my managers told me that it would be a good idea to get on the board and introduce myself and talk to people...

So I did... got on... introduced myself, thanked everyone for being such a fan of the show and so on and so forth...see where this is going yet?

Well I forgot that every time I go to the board it automatically signs me in as countrygirly84.  And I guess I just didn't realize what that meant. 

So yes I totally got caught.  Posting fan comments on my own board about myself...

heehee I figured I could say like it was my sister's name and she was being supportive and I just used her name... But then I figured whatever I'll just laugh at myself and admit it! 

So you know you've done it, or thought of it, or done if for a friend!  I've posted on so many message boards of friends of mine to support/stand up for them... And this time I did it for myself!  Don't be a hater guys.. it's cute right???

What can I say??? I'm a dork!

In other news... Wild Honey was in this weeks edition of Country Weekly with the top 8 of Can You Duet!!! woo hoo!!!
