-The Anal Probe Story-
Due to my spontaneous quirks and urges for indifferent attention, the anal probe was created. It was brought to public attention June 5th, on Granville Island while talking to none other than, Serial Joe.
Maybe it was the way they acted that afternoon, being me, I'm not used to guys sitting casually in front of me, no smiles on their faces, especially posing for a camera. I really don't see why guys have this apparent grudge against smiling for camera's, but these guys did. I don't think it was even expected, but the incredible tension between us and them was bothering me to the point of wanting to scream. However, Steph and our other friends were way to excited to notice the deathly silence that was so unbearably in front of them *Note from Steph: I wasn't excited, I always talk a lot! HMPH*. I guess maybe camera's and me just don't mix, maybe I just have a big mouth. But it started then, while taking a picture of them with my friends..."Will you smile dammit, You look like you have an anal probe stuck up your ass!".
So there it was, I said it. Ryan's mouth just sorta dropped, I caught a glimpse of Stever smirking, Dan broke into laughter, Jon cracked an embarrassed smile. Their reaction was pure hysterics, the look on their faces. I think my way with words finally got the better of me especially later that day.
Now I was still embarrassed about the whole "anal probe" thing, still repeating it in my head. I must have sounded like one of those insane "Simpsons" characters! Talk about a first impression, but hey, it stuck.
" It's the anal probe girl", Dan cracked later that afternoon while I took a picture with him. I looked at the ground and uttered under my breath, " Anal probes rule". Dan started laughing and we talked for a while, but it didn't end there. Even 2 months later, at Edgefest Dan ceased to prove that first impressions always stay.
" Stever look it's the anal probe girl", was the first words that escaped Dan's mouth while I was backstage at Edgefest. I was taken aback, and my friend Allison must have thought something odd, I mean think about it, some guy from Serial Joe just called me an "anal probe". Now she knew Dan and me had met before, but neither of us expected him to actually remember such a gruesome detail. " Did you bring the anal probe?", he asked me. I shook my head, " Nah, left it at home". Dan smiled, " Darn, and for such a joyous occasion!". Okay so we talked a while longer, Stever by his side, Debbie Ryan's mom joining in the conversation soon after. We said our "see yahs" and as i turned away, venturing towards Ben Gillies from Silverchair I remember thinking, it was all because of two words, I made an imprint in 4 Ontario guys lives. Just two words created an entire craze...yes the "anal probe" lives on. If you ever see "Serial Joe", tell them the "anal probe girl from Vancouver says "hi"...". Watch the reaction!
