A hypothetical conversation between Hilary Duff and myself...
HD: (flagging me down as I walk down the street) Hey! Aren't you Peter Jernigan?
Me: Do I know you?
HD: Yeah, it's me, Hilary Duff. You know, from TV and stuff?
Me: Right, and I'm the pope.
HD: That's awesome! I mean, I knew they got a new one and all, but I had no idea.
Me: Seriously, why are you talking to me?
HD: I'm just a huge fan. I know this is a long shot, but I was hoping maybe we could catch a movie or something...
Me: Movies are a heinous waste of money.
HD: ...or maybe go to a baseball game.
Me: I hate baseball.
HD: Well, I mean, I've heard they've got great hotdogs at the ballpark.
Me: I'll have none of your advances you dirty Jezebel! I don't know who you are or what rock you crawled out from under, but this conversation is over.
HD: (gazing after me as I walk away) He's so dreamy.
***This Moment-In-Make-Believe was brought to you by the fact that it's summer and I have nothing to do and the realization that I couldn't pick Hilary Duff out of a lineup or tell you why she's famous.
