Meeting Marshall Mathers: The Slim Shady Era

Chapter 33

The day went on, it literally dragged so much. I flicked between my albums to escape into my own little world for a while, but every song that played just seemed drown out by my eyes engulfing my poster, the man stood in a slack pose, arms folded and a finger on his prominent chin, big blue eyes looking down at the angle where the camera would have shot it from... God just five days in and I was longing for his touch. Craving him like heroin.
I then got a call from Karlie asking for me to go
to hers, but being in the mopey mood that I was in I asked her to come to mine, I wasn't in the right frame of mind to drive.
After almost twenty minutes Karlie came bursting into my bedroom,

"JODIE!" She hyped,

"What?" I sat up in a rush,

"You're gonna have to go online and tune in to this radio station!" She pulled out some paper from her bag,

"Why what's up?" I giggled as I went over to my laptop, pressing the power button as she shoved the paper at me,

"Eminem is doing an interview on this channel today"

"Karlie, he's not, I'd know, he'd of told me?" I looked at the paper,

"Seriously my mums sister, my aunt Sarah lives in Michigan and I was just emailing her and she brought it up because she knows we're fans" we both walked over to my bed and put the laptop between us,

"But.. he never mentioned anything?" I concentrated on typing in the web address correctly, mind you he hadn't said much to me these past few days,

"Well trust me" she smiled,

"Do you erm, know what time he's on? There's a big time difference"

"Yes I know" she rolled her eyes,

"He's on at 10am Detroit time so it's like in 15 minutes"

"I think I know what he'll be announcing" it would of been to promote the film and to let everyone have a snippet of info that filming had begun, that's all I could think it'd be for,

"Stop talking like that with your inside info, you get me all jealous" she squealed,

"Sorry, sorry" I sighed then chuckled with her, a radio DJ was now waffling on to some caller, we both lead on our stomaches with a pillow propping us up,

"Yo yo, one love to Tamra for calling in! Yo so, I know y'all real pumped for the next part of the show, you know why?" He then played the sound of a clock ticking,

"Hmm!" Karlie smiled as she nudged me, the idiot,

"Yeeeeah yall know why! Cause SLIM SHADY HIMSELF IS IN THE BUILDING! Hell chyeah thats what I'm talkin' A-BOUTTT! So listen... we gonna spin some records whilst he gets himself ready, then we'll gets to talking to the man with the illest rhymes that could slice metal in half, know what I mean?! You're right here with the D, here's one dope record, y'all know what it is, fresh out the studio just last year back in Jan... Dr. Dre, Eminem, Forgot About Dre, Check ya!"

"Ooh good song" Karlie rolled on to her back, we both sat there rapping along, laughing at each other as we carried on with our little selves...

"You're such a lucky cow aren't you"

"I am" I giggled,

"I know I alwaaays say it but I STILL can't get over it, like I really can't"

"Stop it" I shook my head,

"Well, I mean, why not me? Why?"

"Wrong place at the wrong time Karlz" I winked and teased,

"I'll remember to be around the toilets next time I meet a famous music artist"
