Interesting, though;

Someone pointed out that it's interesting to think about which celebrities are going to make you cry when they die. Honestly, I don't know if any will. I've kept myself so removed from celebrities my whole life that I'm not sure any of them could make me cry if they died*. But there are definitely a lot I would get upset over. I suppose I just don't understand how people connect so much and put so much emotion into a relationship with someone they've never met and likely never will--but that's the logical side of things talking. I don't hate celebrities or anything, I rather like a lot of them.

Off the top of my head, Dick Van Dyke is probably closest to making me cry, because he's one of my favorite actors. Other celebrities on the "would still have an impact" list: Jimmy Buffett, Billy Joel, Harrison Ford, Hugh Laurie, Christian bale, Hugh Jackman, Karen Allen, Mike Meyers, umm... I totally suck at coming up with celebrities for any kind of list. D= I know I have a whole list somewhere of "my favorite actors," but I'm totally failing right now. Bill Nighy, Dustin Hoffman, Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller... Also, yes, I know, my celebrity list is mostly guys. But there really aren't a lot of actresses or singers out there who impress me a whole hell of a lot. OH, Idina Menzel, Kristen Chenowith, Rick Moranis, Dan Aykroyd, Sean Connery, Steve Martin, Johnny Depp... see, here we're getting into the whole thing where I either like celebrities a lot or I don't like them at all. So, maybe that's why I'm so indifferent? Anyway, I guess I'll continue the list of celebrities I like: Eric Idle, John Cleese, Brendan Fraser, John Rhys Davies, Alan Menken (OK--good chance I will cry here), James Marsden, Ewan MacGregor, Liam Neeson. Also I want to add in Shia LeBeouf and Zac Efron but want to point out that that might be even more tragic, and that if anything I would be creeped out and probably in emotional shock for a day or so because they're my age. To continue; it's easier to name of actors/actresses than anything else because you can think of their faces, and also I'm terrible with musicians. But I would be horribly upset, I'm sure, if most any of the musicians I listen to were to die. I think I'm going to stop here because I feel guilty naming off all these actors and nothing else. =/ (But seriously, I even went through a lot of the movies I've seen and I really don't like that many female actors. Sandra Bullock maybe? It's just hard for me to name them... actresses' characters often just seem too lame for me, I think.) Uh, WOODY ALLEN. D= Roger Moore. Almost forgot some serious ones like that. (See, I don't have any list of older movies to go through, and how many of them are dead anyway I don't know. I am a bad fan, unless I'm totally obsessed with it.)

*Which is weird because I cry when almost anybody dies in a movie.
