so I've basically been procrastinating all day. I had a meal, took a nap, read over Nancy Redd's website, another nap. Anyway, in all this doing nothing I decided that it would be cool to compete in the Miss Philadelphia pageant. The prize is $10,000 and aside from my obvious lack of talent it doesn't seem to require much from a contestant. The official site is not up yet but the next contest will be held March 2009. So, I'd have a year to get a talent (I'm thinking dance or monologue), volunteer in the city, get "known" and I think I could get it. I mean, if all goes according to my plans, wouldn't a student/police officer be the coolest pageant queen ever? Ms. Congeniality anyone? uh yeah! My platform would be one of these: urban literacy; education of young women about their bodies; or something to do with mental health.

The only thing that makes me nervous is I am hardly the "pageant type". Supposedly, the organization is looking for more girls who are so-called atypical. Yet, they didn't choose Ms.Utah - she had so much spunk and personality. Anyway, I don't want to win anything big, I just want to win in my city.

I had two friends in the Miss America pageant this year - one who had been competing "forever" and the other who did it on a whim. Both reported positive experiences with the people, and "corporation" that is Miss America. I doubt/don't really want to get to that level but it's nice to know people had good experiences.

hmm...being bored gives me crazy ideas, but I do think this would be hella cool and super beneficial in terms of networking. I'm all about networking opportunities.
