DJ,

I just got the contractual agreement from my agent and instead of celebrating, I’m being such a wuss.  I think there is something wrong with me, surely this is what I’ve been waiting for, an agent to represent me and my interests.  But the little cynical part of my brain won’t let me enjoy this little victory.  No, it keeps whispering to me, get a lawyer to read the contract, make sure you’re not giving away your rights, negotiate, do this and do that and protect yourself.  So now that I’ve given myself a headache, I’ve decided to hire a lawyer and spend money I don’t have, just so they can help me decipher what this agreement says.  I’ve read it 3 times and I felt like I was reading some obscure biblical ancient text.

I now feel the need to go back to university to learn this foreign language.

Moving on, this is truely exciting. Hehehe.  To make it even more exciting, I’m in my local paper.  I haven’t gotten round to reading the article and I’m not sure I will, the picture is horrendous even though I was promised a great one.  Looking on the bright side, it doesn’t look like me, so no one will recognise me. 🙂  Or is it too early to anticipate hoards of fans running after me in pursuit of the holy grail that is my signature.  I can dream too. 🙂
