It's a...possibility- and oh...my...Bendini!

Well, as it was Mother's day yesterday, I visited my Grandma with my mum and my sister. And at one point yesteray- My mum offered to take my Grandad somewhere and of course, my sister jumped on the chance to go too (She loves car rides and we refer to her as "Mum's shadow") and being the cripple right now that I am, I was left behind with my Grandma.

So we started talking, going from thing to thing and it landed on me wanting to be a writer; Whilst she was telling me I should go to university and do journalism ("as that's what 90% of all the big writers have done" her words) she was also telling me to get into contact with magazines and do writing for them to "start my career" and she kept saying it again and again...

...Which, has lead to me writing to a magazine called "Take a break!" about living a life with Aspergers syndrome and Hypermobility problems, so there is a chance that...I may end up in a magazine! I sent them the email yesterday and they may never get back to me; but they may as well so...it's a possibility that I will feature in the magazine telling my story. The application I filled in also said that they will send out a professional photographer which is...terrifiyng, considering I don't like pictures of me unless their like my "Madame Bendini" work where you can't see all of my face because of my mask but if I DO indeed recieve any contact from these people and it does happen...there is a chance that people who buy and read "Take a Break!" will be seeing me bend!

Also, I want to say that I am just...Speechless at the reaction my Madame Bendini pictures have caused! When I first uploaded the pictures; I just thought of it as something to add because I liked it, and I thought it might be funny to see how some people reacted to it, I only ever inteded to do the four pictures and...the response to those four pictures had been HUGE! The whole "Madame Bendini" thing started off as...a charecter produced for Media studies; and a joke with my friends (One of my friends said one day "You would make a great circus performer" and I replied back sarcastically "Oh yes, Madame Bendini and her twirling Acro-twats!") and NOW, I have people saying to me "I can't wait for the next Madame Bendini pictures!" or asking me "when will Madame Bendini next make an appearance?"

How did this happen?! Now it's almost like a joke, Like a superhero persona. Usually I am this quiet, weird girl who doesn't socialise but then I put on the mask and costume and BOOM! I am Madame Bendini! Contortionist heroine here to amuse, amaze and gross out people! ta-da!
