Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend

This is so stupid

So a few days ago I went to look at my wikipedia entry, the creation of which I had nothing to do with but periodically I check for hacking, and discovered  it’s being considered for deletion. At first I was concerned as I was none too fond of the idea of literally being erased but then I decided that really I don’t care because there are 8 million things about me on the internet and I know I exist and this is pretty much out of my control. Plus, I have better things to do with my time than fight for something capricious and also, as I explained to my mom, I have a feeling if this page were to be erased a new one would crop up soon enough anyway since I actually do exist and I’m so notable that sometimes I feel intimidated in my own presence. “That’s OK, you can talk, go ahead,” I say gently to my own reflection. Then I yell jinx because we said it at the same time. Then we have a staring contest and ultimately make out.

So ANYWAY, I am sick right now and really I should be putting the finishing touches on my book proposal since I told the agent I thought I’d have it to her by last week and also, see above paragraph which I wrote after drunkenly reciting the serenity prayer.

BUT, want to know what I just did for the last hour or so? I google searched the living hell out of my name, not only my current name but also Alison M. Rosen and Alison Michelle Rosen which I used to go by, to try to find things which prove I exist and am notable. Is my legacy really going to be that I asked Mayor Koch if he’s gay and then he asked me a question about blow jobs? I think it’s possible.

In other news, I had a gay old time (poor choice of words) running errands earlier and took a couple photos which I twittered. Perhaps you’d like to see them…again? I think you would.

But I hardly know it!

Nature had a little too much to drink last night.

Oh and I think I’m doing Bill Schulz’s Strategy Room magazine show on Friday again. And my Ustream show on Wednesday. And I have a story in the NY Post on Sunday. See, I AM important. I AM I AM I AM!

Also  notable?  I changed my sheets this morning. Totally made an ill-fitting bottom sheet my bitch.

  • Don't sweat the wiki gestapo. After all, notability isn't all it's cracked up to be. Carlos Mencia - A unquestionably notable hack comedian.

    Was thinking about ways to innovate in the web video format, as that's a prime criterion for notability.

    You are already pioneering the interactive aspect with blog comments and live chat, maybe it needs a little competition. Like, awards for best comments, most fervent fan, ... or, perhaps fans can earn "RosenShekels" for their participation in various capacities.

    Along the lines boinkitty suggested, but, it's probably more important to get links *from* other wiki entries, rather than linking to them. Talk is cheap, references are golden.

    Just saw the entry was actually deleted. Pretentious a-holes. Did you know wikipedia's founder financed wikipedia from porn peddling on bomis.com? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bomis

    DAMMIT! I watched 20 minutes of the Strategy Room yesterday but I didn't think to take any screen caps. Sorry Alison, I feel like I let you down. But let me reassure you -- you looked both ravishing AND gorgeous. In other words, you looked like your normal self.

    I even checked the Fox web site to see if they had the show archived, but I couldn't find it. I'll take some screen caps next Friday. Why not wear Starla and bring along Mums Mabley and Stanley?!?

    Don't sweat the Wikipedia stuff. There's so much garbage and misinformation on there anyway. Apparently on Lou Dobbs' page the other day it said he was leaving CNN to manage a pornographic web site. Pretty sure that's not true.

    I hope you start feeling better. I have a sudden urge to sing the Seinfeld 'Get Well' song for you...

    ♫ Get well
    Get well soon
    We wish you to get well

    Get well
    Get well soon
    We wish you to get well... ♫

    That was the episode where J Peterman says to Elaine, "We missed you at the get well party. Poor old Walt has a polyp in the duodenum. It's benign, but--ooh--still a bastard."

    Bill Schulz read one of my emails during the Strategy Room magazine discussion, but he ignored all the others praising/plugging your Ustream live shows. Personal Wikipedia pages can is a curse for celebrities, since anyone with an account can post rumors and lies [citation needed].

    I also saw that your Wikipedia page was being considered for deletion. I honestly believe that the only reason this is the case is because you don't seem to have many links to other notable Wikipedia entries (i.e. Red Eye, OC Weekly, or Tobey Rosen: Dog of OC, etc.). I think the people that make adjustments to your Wikipedia page just need to add links to those other places, and this "consideration for deletion" thingy will just go away.
  • oh yeah. forgot to say "get well soon." You'll recover in no time.
  • Being Chinese, there is no way i can find a picture of me with my real name. There are at least 10000 people share my name. So I gave up trying to find out if i'm notable. lol.
