IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME!

So let me tell you a story....

When Nick and I were first married (June 2003) we spent the summer living in a small camper trailer in Weston Idaho. A small rural area minutes from Preston Idaho. As I searched and searched for jobs, no one was hiring just for the summer but I ended up getting a job at Arctic Circle -a fast food joint in Preston Idaho. Yep a burger flipper (actually I never even made a hamburger the whole time I worked there just ice cream cones and shakes) So.. As I sat one day waiting patiently for a customer to come in we had an unusual visitor not wanting food, but requesting us for parts in an upcoming moving that was being made. (probably was the director or the producer or an assistant i cant remember) All the 16year olds I worked with jumped for joy! HA! I thought. What a scam! What kind of person would come to Preston Idaho and make a real movie. Its probably a high school project or something and I turned them down flat! Many moons later there it is.......




If you know it you probably think its hilarious.. if you don't then you'd probably hate it. As I sit uncomfortably through the movie and point out my co-workers I think to myself. It should have been me.. I could have been famous! (well to a small minority of people who even know what i am talking about) But there it was this weekend ON TV and I knew I had to tell the world! It could of been me! YOU could have KNOWN someone FAMOUS!

My old college roommate is a set designer and she turned down this movie to work on The Home Teachers and Pride and Prejudice (both of which flopped). She tells the same sad tale.
