I'm back,
With no real reason for being here. It's one of those moments I get every once in a while where I'm just tired and bored. And, I need somewhere to just talk..with no real point. I don't think it's going to be one of those nights where I make a lot of sense.
Basically I'm tired. I didn't do anything today-what with it being Easter and all-but I'm tired. That's not like me. Maybe I'm getting old. Haha. Me? Old? Never.
My ex-husband used to tell me all the time that I was too young and beautiful for him. Ok, that made me sound vain, but I'm trying to make a point..and a joke, but I interupted myself. Anyhoot, it's one of those things that made me wonder if he was going to leave me for someone older and uglier. That would truly be hysterical. Not that I wanted him to, but if he ever was going to do something like that, that would be the way to do it.
Well, I got recognized today. Damn I hate that. Generally people who know who I am, are all obsessive. I think it's something about me.. Not that makes people obsess over me, but that I attract fans who..have an obsessive personality.
That's not true, and it was harsh. I've just had a few too many experiences with obsessed fans. Any experience with them is too many. I don't know how people do it, but I get phone calls, in the middle of the night. And what really gets me is when they ask for Lilith.
But that's not my point. My point is that I got recognized and it wasn't terrible. Hell, it was nice.
I'm typically a shy person who would rather not have people come up to me, but she seemed to be too. A 14 year old girl with a couple of friends of about the same age. No, they weren't all giggly and ditzy when I talked to them. I would have just walked past if they'd seemed at all like that.
She approached me with a simple, "Excuse me...Ms. Neuwirth?" I don't know why, but that always gets to me. In a good way. I guess I'm just amused by being called Ms. Neuwirth..and the respect. The respect is nice-since it's so rare.
So that made me turn around, with a, "Yes?" Her eyes got big, and I could tell she didn't think I'd answer. Her friends were slowly backing away, and it took all my strength not to laugh at them. The other two just looked so confused and out of place.
Conversation as follows:
Her: I'm sorry to bother you..but I'm such a huge fan..And I was wondering if I could have your autograph?
Me: Sure.. Do you have anything you want me to sign?
Her: Oh. Um..
(I took a picture out of my purse. I feel ridiculous carrying those things around..but..well.. Which I proceeded to sign, and give to her.)
Her: Thank you so much Ms. Neuwirth! You have no idea who amazing this is!
(I couldn't help but smile.)
Me: Oh, call me Bebe.. I must admit, it's rare for me to find a fan of your age..
Her: Well, my parent used to always watch Cheers reruns, and I'd catch a little sometimes. I didn't really care for it until Nick at Nite started showing it regularly. Then, I watched it whenever I could. And Lilith was my favorite charactor..so I did some research, and ended up watching more of your stuff. I have, and love that Chicago soundtrack.
Me: Thank you. That was really fun to do.
Her: I was wondering if you'd take a picture with me..I mean, I know you don't do pictures, but..I just hoped..That was a stupid question. You must hate being asked pestered about that all the time. I'd hate being constantly photographed, like some sort of zoo animal. I wouldn't do pictures either.
(That did it for me. It was exactly how I felt. How a 14 year old girl could understand that was beyond me.)
Me: Yes. It does make you feel like a zoo animal.. but I guess I'll do one.
Well, it went on from there. We chatted for a while. She thanked me over and over for the picture-which, of course, made me feel special. And then she decided she had to go. I could tell she was afraid she was pestering me..and so we parted ways. She was a really sweet girl, intriguing. It's strange for me to find a fan that understands anything about...me. And I've never had one with the picture thing.
If only all of them were like that. Even if she was a tad obsessive herself.
