wolven7Poe - [Amazed]--- I am human. I have my faults. As i've said, before, yes, i get a litle star-struck, sometimes, when i meet or otherwise interact with people who've created things that i enjoy. So, naturally, i'm gong to try to, at least a little, get them to Like me, without becoming a slobbering Fan-Boy. This being said, if i speak of these things, to you, on here, whatever, know that i'm not Gloating, or, rather, i'm not Trying to gloat. I'm simply trying to convince myself that this thing happened. That i was, indeed, fortunate enough to Experience this.
That said: I corresponded with Douglas R. Hofstadter, today. (Akira - [Kaneda]). Starting at around 5.30 this morning, before i went to bed, i emailed Professor Hofstadter, and he emailed me back. He hadn't even Heard of the book House of Leaves, let alone known that he was In it. He asked me to tell him what it was, and by whom it was written, so i explained it to him, in part. I count that as an amazing priviledge...
Lush - [Single Girl]--- I don't know. Yeah. When i meet cool people, i'll talk about it, a lot. And, if you met someone you admired, i would fully understand if you did the same. Because you respect and admire these people. And their recognition of your existence makes you feel good, inside.... Ok, so maybe i'm projecting.
Later.
