When's the last time you dreamt you were a pterodactyl? Yeah that's right. I had a dream that I drank a potion and turned into a flying dinosaur. It was awesome.
Anyways, today I want to write about a very special subject, that of Celebrity. These past few days were ESPN weekend, and I watched several tall people get accosted by shorter people with cameras and autograph books. I never recognized any of the tall people, but I could assume that they were athletes, and I knew they were famous enough because so many people wanted their picture with them.
So I got myself to thinking, what if you just got a big group of people together and chose one person to follow around? I mean, it wouldn't last very long, but you'd probably get a few people to ask questions. And you tell them their name like it's a big deal, and when they give you a blank look, you just tell them, 'look him/her up when you get home but right now just get a picture!'
It could provide for a rather entertaining afternoon.
To the general public, the princesses at Disney World are the only people with the authority to call themselves that. Those who dress up as the princesses at Halloween parties are just regular girls, dressed up. In order to rectify this abandonment of imaginative integrity, I've decided not to get any more pictures with characters here, because I don't want to give undue attention to anybody who's not particularly special to me. In fact, I'm so tired with the way people are obsessed with celebrity, that I refuse to acknowledge even stars I can recognize. Someone said recently, "I know we can't ask for autographs, but if I saw Johnny Depp, he's worth getting fired for." My opinion is that Johnny Depp doesn't care who I am, which is completely understandable, so why should I make a huge deal about who he is? You're all welcome to call me on this later, but for now I'm going to say that even if some crazy day I have an opportunity to get a picture with a huge star, I will refrain. I want pictures with my friends and family... and probably with the occasional unexpected awesome person I meet in random places.
