Are You There God? It's Me, Desperate Housewife
When I was 20 and in school in TO, I read one Saturday morning that Judy Blume would be doing a book signing at a children's bookstore downtown. I immediately got myself to the store, and there she was, all 5' of her. (She's very tiny)
As I waited in the lineup, I remember I how desperately I wanted to convey to her just how much her books had meant to me in my skinny, permed junior high years. I wanted her to know how much of a friend she had been to me. That I really was her Biggest Fan. (I really was her biggest fan that day...everyone else in the lineup was 10 and under)
But, when I got to Judy, what came out of my mouth was something like, "LikeohmyGodOHMYGOD!! JudyBLUME! ILOVEDyourbooks!!"
She blinked, donned a PR smile, and said, "Well, there's a new book about Fudgie I hope you'll enjoy."
Stupid mouth. At least I got her autograph.

Everybody freezes in front of their celeb. idols.
I could only manage some kind of grunt as I shoved stuff at Mario Andretti to sign.
Oh, I've read Wifey!
Also, my best friend and I in junior high used to sneak "Forever" and read the dirty parts.
I don't know anyone who hasn't read Judy Blume, but you're the only one I know who has an autograph. You are famous!!
I dated this band guy ... I'll never tell who, but when I first met him, I couldn't even speak. Honestly, not a word could come out of my mouth.
(I was a bit of a rowdy in my former life)
Hmmm, band guy, Alberta... I'll bet it was one of The Northern Pikes. (maybe the little singer guy who bounced around a lot) ;-)
Rogue... You've interviewed Prime Ministers????
And Peter, nope.
You are very intriguing, Rogue.
Oh God, I can SEE his ego getting bigger!
I think she meant to say "smell like fish chum" rather than "intriguing".
(It's a common mistake)
omg. It didn't ever occur to me that rogue was Peter.
So sorry, DH.
LMAO!
I thought Rogue was a girl. I really did. I don't know why.
It's not Peter, but it is a male. Ha ha! Wait till he reads you thought he was a girl!
Rogue is Petey's seafaring nemesis (in a good natured way).
and ye thought he was a wee girl. Hahahaha, that'll kill him
Scorecard:
----------
"CM" and "Anonymous" are "Peter".
"Rogue Buccaneer" is himself.
Like the sands through the hourglass...
And to be fair...I thought Rogue was a very butch lesbian type of girl. Not a girly girl. I was kind of scared of her.
I'm impressed with your site, very nice graphics!
