I tried to be a corporate shill, and failed miserably.
Miranda let me know that Dove (the chocolate people, not the soap people or the bird people) was looking for some bloggers in large Canadian cities who a) were female, b) enjoyed chocolate, c) between the ages of 25 and 55, d) frequented a networking site like MySpace or Facebook, and e) had a blog that was updated with some regularity. I am all of those things, so I filled out their survey.
A couple of days later I received a phone call saying I was what they were looking for, and would I like to be sent some FREE CHOCOLATE so I could try it, share it with my friends, and write about it? Well, hell yes. I enjoy chocolate, and I enjoy things that are free. She took down my information, and said I would receive my chocolate in 2-3 weeks.
It’s been more than 5 weeks, and I have no chocolate. Miranda got her chocolate, and Tanya got HER chocolate, and I am sad and alone and without chocolate. I would have totally shared with people, since they were supposedly sending me enough to distribute and discuss amongst my many close friends and acquaintances. I was even going to have a contest so I could send chocolate to people! I could be very good at spreading words!
Maybe they read through my archives and decided that I did not deserve chocolate.
Phooey. I blog way more than most people, even those that already received their free bounty. I should get chocolate for the sheer quantity of words alone!
You’re mean, Dove and Matchstick (the actual offerers of said chocolate). And I was all ready to sing your praises, too.
I *suck* at selling out.

Heya darlin’,
I only got mine a week ago (and it’s almost already all gone with all my sharing!)
So, don’t fret — Yours is coming!
You got farther than I did. I signed up, they called me but when they asked me questions about what sort of chocolate I ate I said I often bought from Purdy’s and the person said thank you and hung up on me. Bitch. I only buy from Purdy’s because there’s one across the street from work! It’s the fastest way for me to get chocolate into me during work hours. Sheesh.
