Red face Jen hits the local paper AGAIN :)

hi guys im sharing around the love of astronomy again.
Earlier this week the local paper thought i would be an interesting topic to do a story about me (it all about Jen this week LOL)
Once again i was talked up a bit over the top LOL but hey thats media

So ok here it goes I did request purple text (but that never happened)
The interview went for about 90 minutes she had to cut the story very short as i waffled on about astronomy for 89 minutes then 1 minute about myself hahahahha

Very cool Jen Congratulations! I know what it's like to be interviewed by the papers, and have been a number of times this year. What's hard is to get your proper story across so that what they interpret and print is somewhere close to what you actually meant to say... You did well


Where is the purple text?

As i just said on facebook besides being obsessed with Prince, P!NK, emoticons and 50 Shades of Gray after reading my article a few times over now i think i need to admit myself to a psyche ward now by self confessing that im an alcoholic astro geek that loves to have a drink while watching the footy with the boys and sends her identity to Mars buahahahahha oh dear, yep thats me!!!!!!!

Nice shot. That smoking pile at the back looks like a smoldering meteor crater impact. Very fitting in context.

Hi Awesome Astro-Geek Jen,

It was a while ago when you asked the question. You wanted to know if you were an Astro-Geek. I confirmed that you were.

Well its seriously no doubt now. You should have no question regarding that. Also you can be proud of yourself. Back then you were a beginner, now you're entering the veteran class.

Well Done

Cheers
