from an e-mail from a friend...

"Remember, you're a celebrity. Small scale, sure, but it's there. You get discussed over dinner tables in Dublin - and they're not necessarily tables I'm at, either. And with every single thing a celebrity does, it's cross-examined until it collapses. I mean, Jessica Simpson. She really can't be that dumb, right? And there we go, we're off, doubting something that is plain and there and ordinary."

EDIT: More from him, re: me protesting that I didn't know *any* of the people he'd said were talking about me: "Well, no. That's celebrity. You cannot possibly track all the people who read you. Not all of them will list you, either."

That just weirds me out a bit. Not a *lot* - well, sometimes maybe a lot. But it's so strange to think that people I don't know who don't list me are reading me and talking about me.

I'm looking forward to tablesaw's take on the celebrity thing as well....

Oh, I have to talk about the celebrity thing too? I was just going to write about, you know, you.

That too. But you had some really interesting thoughtsd about the celebrity thing in the car, and I'd love to see them on "paper", as well as youer general impressions of me.

Hmm. As you are a celebrity, doesn't that mean we should be writing fanfic about you? Oh, and photoshopping fake nude photos.[*]

Just, y'know, so you can have the complete celebrity experience... :)

I get that on a smaller scale. It's pretty odd but a nice compliment

Heh. Well, *I* talk about you from time to time, but I'm a friend, not a fan. :) Different situation. (Okay, I admit to being a fan of the hair and the eyes...but I'm a friend of the person.) ^_^
