I've got a real thing about not approaching people who I'm a fan of
It is always an awkward thing.
Jayne, your mouth is talking. You might wanna look to that.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

OK, now I get it: leopard=cat from asian & african continents. jag=south american. panther= a black coated jag OR leopard. Panther is not a species, just refers to color. I think.
Ah, so I could have made the alliteration I wanted to: panther paternity problem!
Whichever. The picture? So damn cute.

I almost swallowed my tongue talking to DJ Bonebrake (of X).
But talking with Bob Pollard (Guided by Voices) was fine since I was introduced and he wanted to talk about the Bubblegum book.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh god, speaking of being a fan, I found out last night that one of my Little School Friends is a huge Buffy/Angel fan. It was funny. He's even the kind of fan that watched Point Pleasant for Marti.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Approaching famous people has everything to do with what I want to say. I can love someone's work/face/talent to pieces, and have absolutely nothing intelligent to say about it. However, sometimes it doesn't have to be intelligent. "My friend wants her picture taken with you." and "What's your name?" have both led to interesting encounters.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm sadly lacking an entourage. But I have mini M&M's.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

My entourage tends to be a five year old who likes to complain about things and a two year old that waves and says "Hi!" to everybody.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
If I am in a situation where I am hanging with famous folks, like at a premiere or a party or something, I have no problem just chatting and treating them like regular people since we're all there for the same reason. I only get self-conscious if I see them out on the street or something. I want to say I like their work, but don't want to be annoying fangirl.
