I think people comes into our lives for a reason, I have been aware of Alanis since 1995 but it was only in 2007 I actual started hearing her messages. In 2007 something made me start listening to her songs and this time I paid attention. I also started reading past articles about her and listening to past interviews she had given, it was as if something turned me on to her so that some of the questions I had can be answered, so that I can feel less alone since my thoughts and ideas were dissimilar from most of the people I meet. It was as if she was sent to let me know I am not alone and that I must not be afraid to share my thoughts and feelings.
Yesterday I got a reminder from Alanis letting fans know that she was to be interviewed live for the women on the edge of evolution web seminars. It was to start at 2pm and since I had a Redcross training from 8:30 pm to 4:30 pm, I was going to miss it, so I told her I will catch it later... But as life intervened at 1:37 pm I was done with the training, so instead of going to get gas and to the mall as planned I headed home.
Half way home I saw that my car was running very low on gas, so I went to get gas instead, all the while freaking out that I was going to miss the start.. I finally made it home around 2.03. Upon entering the building I heard Alanis' voice, her song Ironic was on the radio, I got in the elevator and headed to my apartment.
I turned on my computer, clicked on the weblink but I could not find the seminar, still panicking, I saw that I had to re-register, luckily I did because I received a confirmation within seconds, so then I called and joined in. While checking out the emailed I received from the organizers I saw that Alanis was going to speak for one hour and that there was going to be a 30mins question session in which the audience can text in a message or press #2 to speak, I decided to text because I was too afraid to speak to her..
When the question potion started they went to the phone first and then online but mine was not asked, something told me to stop being a chicken and call, so I pressed #2 and waited.. 6 minutes towards the end my text question had not been read and I was not called upon to speak, so I got online and started iming a friend (also an Alanis fan)trying to keep from getting upset for not being called.. then suddenly i heard Albany you are on..
omg it was incredible and scary...It was meant to be.
You can listen to the call below, mine was the last question taken. If you do not want to here the whole seminar, download the audio and skip to the end to here my question and her response.
