JYA Fans Q&A
Got a few questions for all of you: first of all, do you think it's possible to, after being only one of two Americans traveling with a group for a week, to leave a country with a funny accent? One of the best parts of just being with this group, I'd have to say, has been the chance to learn about the different accents around England. It was also priceless to hear a guy from London tell me I have an accent. I swear practicing my wuhlds and Uh-strail-yahs will never get old.
There was also some news today about the JYA cast's upcoming interviews on MSNBC. I need to devise a basic outline of what I'm going to say and, while I have a few ideas, I am seriously worried about getting carried away and coming off as a crazed lunatic on live, national television. I've had more than enough experience with lukewarm reactions to my being an American and so I'm really excited about the opportunity to share them with probably as large of an American audience as I'll ever have. I'm glad that I've found something I'm passionate about, the importance of international travel, and how crucial I think it is for Americans to get out there and change what the world thinks of us. I'm not sure, though, what the best way to convey this on television is and so, if anyone has any suggestions for me, I'd be more than happy to hear them.
