Flaunting your passions has its advantages. A friend who works at a radio station asked me a month ago if I would be interested in going on a radio show to review movies, specifically horror movies. Of course I was interested, but my anxieties stopped me from jumping at it. I went in tonight to meet the host of the show, and sat in on a show, and I felt amazingly comfortable.
I talked to her afterwards and asked her what she wanted me to do, and a bunch of other questions, and was really happy with the answer. We got along great, geeked out about horror (which I haven't done with someone in 5 years).
Since this is a serious radio station, there are really cool perks to this as well. Free passes to movies, conventions, interviews... I might even get to meet a director or writer! If I do well, I might even be able to use this to move on somewhere bigger. I'm really daring to dream here when I say there may be a career somewhere here. Maybe. I would love to have my life focused around this.
My friend asked me about this because he knows I'm a horror nut, and thinks I'm smart. Which is flattering. I've loved horror movies pretty much all my life, so it's nice that there's the potential they can take me somewhere. I'm so insanely excited, but I'm trying to stay grounded and just go with the flow. If it doesn't go anywhere, then it doesn't. But I can still hope.
