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.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

Oh! This reminds me I have some regular sized M&M's stashed in the Freezer. Cashmere, you just made my day a whole lot brighter.

I'm not a very fannish person, so I've always approached famous folk with the same unease and lack of cleverness I do everyone else. It also helps I suck with names and faces, so I'm unlikely to think they are different that someone I met from work or school or whatever. It all works out.
