MMMMMM........Got the call from ESPN today...

[Michele 1]

So I'm sitting there, trying to figure out how to save this escrow which is doing it's damnedest effort to escape loan funding and closing. The phone rings.

Hello? yes, this is Michele.....
Tape on August 7? At Perris? And everyone is good to go? Yup? Cool. YES!!!!!
No, I'm fine. Bwahahahahaaa....giggle....no, really, I'm just fine.
Let me double check my calendar. Yes, looks good. Whhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeee!
Yes, no, I'm still here. Yes, everything is fine.
(CRASH) No, no problem, just spilled my coffee all over my desk. No, I don't need to take care of it. Yes, we'll talk next week. Sure, call and let me know the time.
You're trying to get Joe Jennings? That name's familiar. (thunkbang) No, I always sit on the floor. No, I'm o.k. We'll talk next week. Yup, Cya, bye....
AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWCANYOUBELIEVETHIS???
Ohmyfreakingawd!

Now, I have less than 2 weeks to lose 50 pounds, get a new haircut, plan an outfit which doesn't make me look like the marshmallow man from Ghostbusters, get "brite white teeth", learn to do something in freefall other than fall, learn to land the canopy on my feet instead of my face, and become a skygoddess.....

(And, as a result, alienate everyone who I haven't already alienated at my DZ...last time I was there, word had gotten out about this ESPN thing, and I got comments like "why you?" and "there are far cuter people/better skydivers/better stories than you/yours"...)

But still...Yeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhaaaaaawwwwwwwww...

But a solo will be so boring to watch - - - - - - sigh.

I can't help being excited. I mean, really!!!!! Yippeeeeeee!

Ok, I'm done. No, I'm not.
whhhhoooooooooooopppppppiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeee!
There.

(It's real, and it's happening to me! Can you believe that???????)

Ciels and Pinks-
Michele

You go!

I know about some of the comments from the people at your DZ, and all I can say is "mean people suck". it's surprising where it'll come from, sometimes.

Don't let those piss-ants ruin YOUR day. This is got to be one of the coolest things I've heard. We're all proud of you.

Don't worry about what you think is exciting, the TV people will think a solo is just fine.
Besides they're more interested in what you have to say and how much enthusiasm you display

Go get 'em.

Hi Michelle,

I've missed something along the way. What exactly is happening with ESPN? I'm dying to know what this is all about.

[sunshine 2]

That is so awesome girl. Who cares what those people at your dz say? I think it's great that ESPN is doing this with someone as genuine and sweet as you. Have a great time with the "fame".

Anyway, congrats Michele. All very cool stuff.

Go for it girl.

Don't worry about all the others, they are just pissed that it's not them who will be on.

Shame that we won't be able to get it over here in the UK.

Congratulations Michele, it is totally awesome.....

I hope some one will capture it and put in on the web, since I don't get ESPN here in the great "white" north.......

Michele,

I only know you from DZ.com. However, you always have the nicest things to say to everyone. When I first came here, I remember reading your journal about your AFF experience. You had an excellent way of expressing yourself that I could feel all what you were experiencing. It does not surprise me that ESPN is interested in you.
BTW, who are some of the people you have talked to at ESPN. I'm just curious because I had extensive dealings with them during the 2000 and 2001 Winter X Games. I know, it is a big company, but you never know.
