Aging Hills Fan Sufficiently Embarrasses Herself

So, I just entered this silly little contest:

Hey Guys!!!

Do you like to Blog? Love blogging about The Hills? We're coming directly
to our most passionate fans of The Hills in search of Official Bloggers for The
Hills on MTV.com. We'll be taking submissions over the next 3 weeks for 2
candidates to blog about each episode. If you are selected as one of our 2
bloggers, you will have your blog posted online each week. Your blog will be
ranked by other fans, and the blogger at the end of the season with the highest
ranking will win the opportunity to blog live from The Hills finale in LA with
Lauren, Audrina, Lo, and other cast members!!!

What we need from you:
-Name
-Age
-Address
-Contact Info (phone)
-Photo
-Blogging experience (none required, but please list if you currently or
previously have written a blog, including url(s))
-SHORT paragraph about your love of blogging and why you feel you deserve
to be an official blogger of The Hills for MTV.com.

The contest will require you to post a blog of The Hills within hours after
each new episode's airing. Please be prepared to submit material upon deadline.
Monday September 8th @ Midnight is when we stop taking submissions.

Please email us here - mtvcontest@gmail.com Pass this to on your friends

- Thanks!!!!!!!

After sending along my lightning-fast submission (which, if I can say, was effortless--I'm that good) I thought to myself, "I immediately regret that decision" (To quote Ron Burgandy after jumping into a bear pit). Although, I've really got nothing to lose, right? Except for of course, self-dignity, but I lost that long ago, what with all my fuss over sweating, Celine Dion, The X-Files, and various complaints about my job/life/Katherine Heigl. Thing is, I do think I am actually in good standing to win this, but for one thing: My age. I am too old. For the first time in my life, I really think that I am too old for something. I mean, I am older than every cast member of The Hills. I am older than the average MTV core demographic. Why, OH WHY GOD, why would they EVER hire ME!???

I WILL TELL YOU WHY. BECAUSE IT WOULD BE THE SMARTEST THING MTV EVER DID. SO, IF MTV CONTEST REVIEWER, YOU ARE READING MY BLOG NOW (mais bien sur I gave it a plug!) THEN KNOW THAT YES, YES I AM TYPING IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS TO SIGNIFY I AM YELLING AT YOU AND THAT YOU WOULD REALLY BE DOING EVERYONE A SERVICE (me specifically) BY CHOSING YOURS TRULY TO FULFILL YOUR HILLS BLOGGING NEEDS.

That is all.

Of course you'll win. After all, your blog has always consistantly demonstrated your love/hate relationship with The Hills and its entire cast. I think that relationship is a perfect reflection of almost every relationship on that show. Why, you could easily pass as a roommate!

I am yelling, YOU GO, GIRL!!!
