My picture was on the front page of a local newspaper about four years ago. Nothing particularly important, though.

I was there, I helped them run that. Wasnt aloud to participate because my mother is employed by Nintendo.

There's being a few times where my face was prinited in the local newpaper; about 8 - 9 times in the past few years, the most recent being 2 weeks ago, at the School awards night when I got an award for Lourdes Youth Helper 2004 ( I was one of three this year ) Thats my proudest one.....

I also got my picture in the paper for signing and class photos, and the Cloyne Dioscan Lourdes Pilgramge 2004 and other things and I'll say I will be in it again twice before the 2005 is out for the Gradutation mass and the Grads.

I was once on NHK, Japan's main TV station, watched by millions, fo a five-second clip in which I commented on social issues. They didn't give my name or anything though.

I was in the TRL studio for the New Year's 2004 celebration. There were also some CNBC reporters at my university earlier this year. They were interviewing some students and I kept passing by and glancing at the camera.

That's one way to get attention, but don't do it too often. You might end up looking like a real big dink.

There's two times I can remember when I've been on some kind of screen. I haven't been *famous* per se, but I have been seen by people that didn't know me.

First one was at church one Sunday. For some weird reason, they had a camera set up out front, and the people sitting down inside could see on a big screen what was going on in front of the camera, and I kept running up to the camera and making weird faces If I'd known what I was actually doing back then, I'd probably have been horribly embarassed, but that thought didn't come across my mind back then

The second one was when we were doing the Christmas Concert back when I took music in high school. Some T.V. station was taping it, and my Aunt said she "saw me playing my flute on T.V." I saw the guy with the camera out of the corner of my eye the night of the concert, but I didn't think he'd decide to record me.

One other one was the night of my high school graduation. I didn't know it, but I'd been chosen to get some Grade 12 music award. Once again, nothing that made me really famous, but I still got my name in the program thing they were handing out

I was in the newspaper once, and in the background on TV a few times.

Plus there was the little Net Send incident... That could easily have hit 1000 systems.

And of course I'm a mod here, and there's over 1000 members.

Do you mean "famous" like people know you and like your, or "infamous"?

Lmao.

NO NO NO! You're supposed to go a little ways behind who they're focusing on, but still where they can see you, then bend over and pretend to tie your shoe... THEN MOON THE CAMERA AND RUN LIKE HELL!
