"kristen, who the HECK are you?!"

Its not often that I break the monotony of my life, so I figure I should probably take all the opportunities I'm given to blog about not-so-everyday things.

This past Tuesday, I called a radio morning show, did my best Woody Wood Pecker impersination and won a prize pack. The end. Well, I mean, I'm sure I could get a little more discriptive, but I think I'm going to hold off on that until after I get my prize pack from XM 20 on 20.
This most recent experience ALMOST compares with my Canadian radio experience, actually - though I'm not sure anything will ever trump that. When I used to work at the law firm, before the days of my ipod, I would listen to a Canadian radio station called "The Peak". It would stream live on the internet and oh how I adored it. After months of listening, I finally decided to e-mail my favorite DJ & let him know that the Peak had a fan in Florida. Ten seconds after hitting the send button, the guy sends me a shout out on the air! Something like: "I'd like to send a shout out to Kristen listening from Florida! Thanks for tuning in, we'd love to have you in Canada some time!" I was absolutely tickled! I wanted to move to Canada right then and there. I'm pretty sure I called all of my family that afternoon and told them I was Canadian celebrity, or something equally ridiculous.
Not long after that experience, one afternoon, I went to tune in to The Peak and I came to find that they had reformatted the station without warning. I was crushed and, til this day, I'm still upset about it. But long live the memories of The Peak! Like Camp Anawanna, I'll hold them in my heart.
