"I'm the reporter at The New York Times ... I wanted to to get

in touch with you because I've always wanted to do a column on the pregnant-woman seat-giving phenomenon.

In a thread ... the other day, I saw your very funny comments on the issue, and wanted to see if you would let me and a photog ride to work with you at some point next week to see the situation from your point of view and write about it. (snip)"

so of course, 90% of me goes HELL YES I WANT SOMEONE TO WRITE THIS STORY. and then 10% of me says "oh jeez, they will use my name and my picture and i will look huge and ugly and whatever i say will sound stupid.

and of course, you know that if i ride with a reporter, there will totally be someone to give me a seat. or there will just be a seat available.

quick. gingi. give me media coaching on how not to sound like an idiot. what will i wear? something that makes me look pregnant but not like a whale. oh this is so complicated ;)
