Girl's State
So a couple weeks ago I got an application for it, and later that night I was bored so I decided to go ahead and fill it out. Had great fun filling it out too, mainly because I was making fun of it, but I put down actual answers. So a week or so later I got a letter which pretty much said "Show up, Saturday the 19th and get interviewed." That was fine and dandy. Woot, not a big deal... until the morning of the 19th.
My first mistake was suddenly getting freaked out about what if they asked me questions about religion or something family oriented. How much is too much to say? How much do I sugar coat it? How could I get away with out actually answering such a question? So while I nail bited my way to the American Legion Post, a place I used to go as a child when Dad was a DJ, Dad helped me come up with some good answers. So we get there, and I head into the place, take off my coat, sit down, look at my watch- oh good! I'm on time! its 8:45-and sit.
and sit.
and sit.
Till 9:30.
And its drafty as hell, and I'm stuck next to the door. I ended up putting my coat back on.
So finally its time for the interviews. And I got three interviewers, each asked one question...
They were all political questions. Shit.
Question 1: I blew it completely. I didn't know that Bush was doing something with Social Security! Agh! I came home and did a quick search, and realized you can't swing a dead cat with out hitting it. Ugh. So I screwed up that one royally. But incase your wondering my response was "Um. I didn't know he was planning on reforming it. You see, since I blog I am more up to date on international politics." BOOOOOOMM!!!! the Patented Bullshit Meter just broke from a sudden influx!
Question 2: I honestly can't remember whether I did good or not, much less what the question is.
Question 3: It was about Iraq's elections. And I think I did this one okay but seeing as the only info I had stored in my puny little mind was what I hear from Dad, it wasn't that great.
Today we find out who got in.
10 bucks says it’s not me. Any takers?
