Tonight, I was watching a late-night episode of True Life on MTV (I've had some bouts with insomnia for the past week or so - last night, I was up until almost 5 in the morning, netting me a whole 2-and-a-half hours of sleep) which featured people with horrible stuttering problems. I was only half-watching it when one of the people mentioned something about himself that caught me ear.
One of the people is a speech pathology graduate student who goes here at WVU!
(On a sidenote, I can't help but chuckle at the irony in a speech pathology student with a stuttering problem.)
Even more exciting, when they showed a scene where the different students in this guy's class are introducing themselves, one of the guy's friends is from Hedgesville!
As dorky as it might sound, I couldn't help but let out a small squee of joy! In some small way, I feel like a celebrity, too, just because I go to this guy's school! I mean, sure, the show was probably shot a year or two ago, so he might very well have graduated by now, and sure there's over 30,000 other people who go to the same school. But still! In some small way, this kidna-sorta-almost makes me a celebrity!
Yay for living vicariously through MTV reality shows!
