It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Liese, I'm chalking up my crappy health (cramps and headcold) on the eve of the new year to getting it out of the way for 2010. May it be so for you & D too!

I suspect I'm having the thai coconut chicken soup for breakfast. With springrolls. And then swim and shopping and Up in the Air. I really want to see this movie.

When I have met famous people, I've usually assumed they are people I work with, since they look familiar (and all have been in city, so fairish assumption.) Which is funny, and means I am not a fannish dork, just a clueless one.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

How's yours doing? K still talks about the dinner where you called Noah freaky.

I called him freaky! I don't remember that. Suffice to say, I'm not quite as excited. We have to put it off 4-5 years while I pay student loans, anyway.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I ated too much sushi. Yum

I found a gift at Costplus I (so far) have kept for myself--a maple syrup grade sampler pack--small bottles of Vermont Fancy, grade A medium amber, grade A dark amber, and Grade B. Yum

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Is it the same shield that keeps it perfect weather almost every time?

YES.

Depends on the level of fame of the person for me. I mean weird politics fame (like seeing Jesse Helms without a shirt on or Ruth Bader Ginsberg in a bathing suit) doesn't phase me. But weird FAME FAME probably does.

Would it be wrong to gobble up 3 of the 4 cupcakes I made for Noah? Of course it would. But just one?

Jesusfuckingchrist, I hate hormones. Not enough to give me painful cystic zits in awkward painful places and cramps, I just had to start crying thinking about this year. It was good, ok. What's with the waterworks?

Did we know that Josh Charles (of sports night fame) was in the original Hairspray movie?

ita, how do you feel about him for your sites?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Speaking of celebrities I've seen in person!

I think I did notice him when I was watching Hairspray a couple of years ago.

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

Does he know you made them for him? Really, that mitigates things, him being unaware.

My father is ultra-cool around, well, everyone. When we were teens he'd stop anyone famous for an autograph for us as if he knew them (Lenny Henry in particular blew my mind). I think it has to do with his ultimate conviction that he is the centre of the universe.

That sounds nummy! When I was broke, I bought Aunt Jemima syrup, and it was really nasty with a slippery aftertaste. I replaced that bottle with Ralph's syrup--it's patently not maple, but it's consumable in a way that Aunt J wasn't. My sister didn't even complain. Much. She's one of the few people that serves maple syrup in Jamaica.

All judgment of talent aside, he is really nice to fans. Or at least was on the occasion I was around to witness.
