Fame is Fickle

By
Real Estate Agent with Tangletown Realty

bubble blower blowing bubblesI have a secret, but once I share it here, it won't be a secret anymore.  I have a friend who's made it to the blog world big time.  She's been interviewed by the Chicago Trib and Realty Times.  The Bloodhound sniffed her out.  She guest writes on The Tomato.  She's featured along with Active Rain's Maureen Francis in a four part series on blogging in Inman News.  She's been noticed by our own St. Paul Association of REALTORS.  She has an ongoing problem with bathtubs which she shares with Larry Cragun.  She's even been mentioned by the peons of the blogging world like the Blog Queen of Minnesota and Jonathan Greene.

The secret is that she's really a very nice person even though she'd like the members of her realm to think her ego is as big as Mt. Bloggious where she resides.  She says she doesn't care about the fame.  I tell her fame is fickle.  She says she only cares about getting leads from her blog.  I tell her it's a lot of pressure to be in the limelight.   She says it won't last.  I tell her I'll help her shave her head and take her to rehab when the time is right.  Maybe Sellsius has a good PRIVATE facility they can direct us to!

You should see the private response the BloggoddessBroker herself sent me!  If lightning bolts could talk!

Ya know, I think I actually saw some of those lightning bolts from way over in South Florida!

I don't know about the shaved head but maybe a Mt. Bloggius tattoo will do.  ;-)

Listen up TFCHF, I don't do nice.  I get a pain just beneath my rib cage every time I even have a nice thought.  :)  nice post, I would think by now that you would hate me.  I don't get why you don't.  I think you are much nicer than I even though you are getting pretty crown heavy.

Bonnie: She has often said: "Don't try getting on my good side, because I don't have one!" I know that's not true, but probably shouldn't let that get spread around too far - shhhhh.

We'll have more time to sit and sip appletini's when the limelight wears off. Until then, it's nice to see nice things happen to nice people.

Good thing for me I don't have a fragile ego, or I might be offended at being called a peon.  Fortunately, I'm too dumb to be stuck up.  I guess a peon worth an honorable mention is the best type of peon to be.

Hey, Jonathan, did you not notice that I included the Blogging Queen of Minnesota (that's me) in the same basket?  I figure we're in good company!
