A formerly anon blogger, trying to make it honest

If you happened to catch the Hot Morning Mess on Hot 99.5 this morning, you would have heard yours truly winning the BLIND DATE/BACHELOR (Win a Date Wednesday) contest and…
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE TICKETS!
(Take that 9:30 Club)
I am so excited, I can’t function.
I was in the car driving to work, and happened to catch the end of them saying to call in for a chance to win a date and tickets for Justin.
I decided what the hell, I’ll call…and after multiple busy signals, I finally got through!
There were three girls chosen and each was asked a question about what they liked to do for fun. I answered that I liked to go out in DC and hit up the club scene, and was also fine just hanging out at home. The other girls said things like they liked to go fishing and that they liked to go to football games. After that section, the DJs came on and told me they had chosen me to be their bachelorette for the day!
I had to pick three questions to ask the guys….
The first one was, “If you were any drink, what would you be?”
Guy 1: Red bull and vodka (I forgot why he said that)
Guy 2: Sex on the beach….no explanation needed
The second one was, “What’s the best date you ever had?”
Guy 1: Took gf to a bed and breakfast
Guy 2: Inner Harbor
The third one was, “Since we’re going to see Justin Timberlake, which of his songs really ‘speaks to you?’”
Guy 1: Um, I don’t really know any Justin songs
Guy 2: Sexy Back (I said “because it’s the only song he knows!” to which he answered another song of Cry me a River haha)
After careful consideration (and text messages from friends), I decided to go with Bachelor # 1. He seemed more laid back and like he had a better personality than the other guy. I was a little put off by Guy 2 saying “sex on the beach” for his drink (can’t think of something less cliche?) and also that he wanted someone with big boobs (even though I guess I have those haha).*
He called me a little bit ago, still seems nice…I checked out some pics of him, looks fine……….whatever, I don’t really care too much about the “date” – I GET TO GO SEE JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE FOR FREE!!!!!!
How crazy is that?!?
Sidenote: When I told my mom, she first was like, “Only you, AM. That would only happen to you.” Then she asked me who Justin Timberlake was (“I think I know, but I’m not sure.”) then she got stuck on the idea that maybe my date would be great (“Ohhhh so it’s a DATE too?!?”) and was all excited about that. Sigh. Not the point mom!!!!!!! ![]()
*So now, the DJ told me he was surprised I didn’t pick 2 since he seemed more outgoing (AND he said maybe he was a little cuter damnit), and a few other people said they would have picked Guy 2. Oh well, guess I’ll never know!

OMG I sooo emailed you when I got in! I heard you! I texted CR and was like AM is on the radio I think! TOO FUNNY! CONGRATS! Have so much fun!
good for you! I know you were totally heartbroken. Good thing for DC traffic huh?
That’s awesome.
I would have picked Guy #2, however, because he’d have been more into the concert.
I know, I went with what my best friend and roommate said…of course now I’m all like oh, maybe I went with the wrong choice!
My initial gut feeling was Guy 2 – but as I said, there were a few things he said that maybe didn’t do it for me. Oh well.
The “date” is an added bonus…the concert is the real prize here! Haha. I didn’t have to pay $300 for a ticket!
I was about to say “the date” don’t matter…you are going see Justin. SO JEALOUS!
so incredible! and so jealous about seeing justin at 9:30!!
What a way to start your day. Super congrats. You’ll have to blog about this date, of course.
Awesome! Way to Go!
Faboulous! It’s good to see that you didn’t veer off the road and crash due to the excitement, and that you are going to see Justin Timberlake for free. Of course the date choice is always one for second-guessing, but how bad could it be for one evening at a show you’ve been dying to see? Have fun! And give us all a report?
Haha well luckily I was at work by that time, and sitting in my car in the garage.
Yeah, it’ll be a great time! I only wish I knew how to get a recording of the segment (they said they can’t give them out)…my office tried to tape it on their computers and it didn’t work.
I hope the guy doesn’t have his hopes up, cuz we know your REAL date for the evening is JT!!!
(Oops, just read the comments, and I guess I’m parroting Law-Rah. But we still know you will be eyeing up JT!)
WOO HOO!! You better shake your ass to SexyBack and do the diva/model pose dance.
Congrats and I have a blast!!
That’s awesome! I’m way jealous (and for the record, think you made the right choice– never date a man whose drink of choice is girlier than yours). Have fun!
Congrats! Have fun on your date… with Justin (who cares about the other guy? hehe)
Well done, AM…the date is just a throwaway to get to go the concert anyway, so who cares about the other guy…and if things click, it’s only a bonus.
Totally agree with you there Phil. I don’t see it being any long term thing – just a fun time!
You made the right choice, because if a guy can name more than one Justin Timberlake song, then you should just steer clear.
It’s sweet you won tickets to see someone you like. The only thing I ever won on the radio was a Teena Marie album (they wouldn’t tell listeners what album they were giving away) when I was 16. Man that was lame.
very cool!!!! it is always such an awesome thing to win something!!! i think i would have picked #1…i don’t know what to think of a guy that listen’s to J. Timberlake…
but anyway CONGRATS! by they way, don’t forget to post pics of the date and the concert!
Dumb guys are more handsome…..I should know…I graduated in 4 years from junior college….Congrats..and if you see Justin tell him I said your a fake rat fink living off other peoples styles and you lied about JJ’s tata’s malfunction..
