In speech class, we had to name a famous person we would like to have dinner with and spend the evening. I of course chose SK because he seems like a really down to earth person. You could sit and have a Pabst Blue Ribbon and some doritos or something. I bet very few multi-millionairres are like him!

And he'd let you call him Steve, lol. But not Steve-O. He hates that. 3nodding
I enjoy his introductions and prefaces a bit too much....
Yeah, he'd be fun to sit around with, though it'd be a little intimidating. I wouldn't be afraid of him because of the s**t he thinks of. Just because I'd be meeting the dude that wrote everything I've been reading for the past year or two.
My mom's friend's husband is a small-time-but-published sci-fi writer and when I met him he had me read one of his short stories from a magazine. I felt weird then just because the author was right there. It'd be like that with SK except 100x worse...

It's part intimidation, yeah, but the rest is just thie weird feeling i can't explain. Like, I met Sandra Bullock this one time (long long story) briefly, and now I almost can't stand to watch her on TV or in movies because I've seen her and talked to her in person. Like, I have this concept that celebrities are the modern version of the Greek gods and goddesses. They can actually interact with normal people, and do, but they only really exist because real people believe in them. Seeing one in person ******** with that perception and weirds me out.
Authors are like that but on a different level. With them it's because you've read all this stuff that came out of their heads. Like, I've always been the type of person to entertain myself with strange and sometimes stupid fantasies in my head, almost like telling myself stories, but I was always too embarrassed to tell anyone or anything like that. So in my opinion stories I read are that way for authors, except they're not embarrassed to share them. The thing is, I'd be embarrassed to be around that person and know his fantasies because they're such a private thing for me.
And that is my psychological relationship with famous people.

Yeah I wasn't quite with myself until that sentence. I was trying to figure out the word for what it felt like because I know it wasn't intimidation, and then I figured out it was embarrassed. The rest was more or less me talking to myself.
I'm 16.
Hehe, I just finished writing a report on The Stand for English. I never usually meet all the expectations for reports (I'm half-assed out of laziness), but I liked remembering The Stand and I needed this grade. And now I feel some funky sense of accomplishment. Lol, I don't get that often.

My brother is quite similar. He can't read something i've written with me there. He says it's just weird for him.
