Mine would probably be glad for it.

.... I wouldn't hate it either.

I mean, honestly, sticking out your tongue? Mildly flirtacious? Maybe. Silly? Very.

I feel like you can't get your heart broken in a situation like this unless you really allow yourself to put it out there. If you don't get TOO close and expect too much, there's no reason that you would get hurt. Sure, they can bitch at you on a fluke and you can be pissed off, but not heartbroken.

Yay for Mano, especially in the Switzerland shirt and being really cute.

Switzerland shirt? Did I miss the memo?

Yeah. I think you can only REALLY get hurt if you're one of those fans who assumes you're best friends with the actors, or that you're going to marry them, etc, etc. I've seen/heard things about a lot of fans like that, and they DO end up severely hurt; but then again, these are people who are crazy, deluded, rude, and over-aggressive from the get-go.

I think there are like... levels of personal connection. But for you to be heartbroken over these people, you really have to be invested in a way that's just too deep for sanity. I've certainly experienced genuine personal connection, but even the closest of my actor/fan "relationships" is not without its limitations -- and I think it should absolutely remain that way. I think that's fine.

I have to think that even actors who put themselves at level of higher accessibility than others do know what's up, and what's going on. For the most part, I think they have a fair perception of who uses them and who's really genuinely interested and things like that -- I think some of them are often a bit lax about being safe about it, which is really unfortunate.

As far as my mom's concerned on the whole thing, I think if (in a COMPLETELY hypothetical situation -- they don't go for this, and I wouldn't want them to) I started spending time with the people she *knows* I have blatant crushes on, she'd be more prone to treat me like a child and be overprotective, but even then, it would be so silly. She should know that they're rational individuals, and I hope she thinks I've got a decent head on my shoulders! :)

My mom isn't used to it yet, really. The whole idea is very foreign to her, in terms of "why would they care about you?" whether it's really caring about me as a person and spending time with me, or in terms of just being very demonstratively grateful for my support. But I've never had one show where I have that kind of thing on any level with the cast as a whole -- it's very recent, and it's actors smattered here and there. Ultimately, I guess they're all interconnected. But of course, it's abstract in the sense that I lump in anyone who I'm on some kind of a familiar basis with, whether it's the actor I've spent hours talking about anything in the world with, or someone who just knows my face. I guess it's heirarchical, but also all bred from the same thing.

I think I can fairly readily admit to crushes on some of these guys in the sense that they're gorgeous and talented and smart and witty and all of the things that you'd love to have, but nothing that I feel like I would ever in my wildest dreams expect to be legitimately requited. So, yeah, no potential heartbreak. I think you just have to keep sight of what it is you're dealing with, and you'll be fine. Not like these people who say, design websites and then think they're in the inner circle.

I babble in the wee hours, apparently!

I tell my mom everything about shows, because she's totally cool with, well, almost anything I do. For example, last night she asked me why I had such a big envelope, so I told her that how when I was waiting for Mano with a friend, Lauren Molina invited us to her dressing room, and stuff happened so we promise to write her a HUGE letter. Mom was amused. It's fun.

A lot of it is probably just her being relieved I didn't end up as one of those b-astard children who do dumb things and hate their parents. ^_^

Questions questions...


April Fool's messages?

Switzerland shirt?

Liz, this is apparently the Swiss flag, on his shirt:

Just to bring smiles... (and because I'm BORED.)

[Dirty Rotten Scoundrel]

Ah...intriguing...

And how was seeing Mano yesterday?

It was fun. I was out just sort of needing a distraction from the daily grind, and had time to kill that happened to line up with when the shows were getting out. It beat sitting idly in a Starbucks or just... walking in circles.

He was very, very silly. It made me feel warm and fuzzy, though, so that's cool. :)

You're the third person I know of today who had a dream involving a performer. Myself included.

... weird.

Are you sure they got it?

I noticed that. Bastards.

I sent it in through their submission and everything. Well, I...I'm speechless. *Runs away crying*.

[Bohemian1232]

Posted: 4/2/06 at 2:59pm

Are you sure that you sent it to the right place?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 4/2/06 at 3:03pm

Is there a reason they wouldn't have? They post ones that are waaaay more incriminating. *coughRaul'sexualitycough* You can submit it again....
