A journalist for the local newspaper contacted me a couple of days ago about a story she was doing on weblogs in Buffalo (where I live). She asked if I would be open for an interview. (::jaw drops::) I said yes (DUH!), and we met today. She asked a bunch of questions about when I write, how I write, cost, and stuff like that. I had a great time and it was a lot of fun.

Probably the best thing that we discussed was how she said I sound like my blog. Of all the interviews she did, most of the people write differently in their blog than they speak in normal life. Apparently, a group of attorneys in the area use blogs and the way they write in them is completly different than how they speak in real life, and obviously, how they speak in court. She was surprised to see how much my blog and I were alike. :) Plus, I got the impression that she has been reading my entries for a little while just because she made that connection (and she told me that she was reading it). Pretty kewl. 8)

She also said that she has found a lot of blogs out on the Internet that really aren't that interesting. People complaining about life (aparently more than me) or looking for an "out" of something or just not that much fun to read. But my blog was not any of those. I must have done something right. ::score::

Once I get more info from her, I'll be out buying a couple of copies of the paper and getting the link to the stories up here (Did I forget to mention the entire paper is also posted online?)... Plus they're going to include a picture and link to my site.
