I cannot be left anywhere in the vicinity of Adam Yauch. In fact, I do not think I can ever visit Manhattan. OK. Not any borough. I may be ok upstate. Other than that, meh. I make a jackass out of myself with some frequency, but it isn't just famous people or crushes, it's a general jackassyness.
Everyone's getting spanked but me.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The main way I avoid(ed) being tongue tied around celebrities? Negging. Or outrageous lies. Like, really through the roof making shit up. Both are very relaxing icebreakers. Can't recommend either enough.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have a sudden need to hear this story.
We were on this cruise, and when we got off the ship, there was a "pirate," with a stuffed parrot on his shoulder, and you were supposed to take pictures with him or some shit? But he came up on msbelle from behind and touched her unexpectedly, and she just whomped him.
My friend Alison theorized that they tend to flip out as they approach developmental milestones.
Sounds like T. Berry Brazelton's Touchpoints. I think that's what it's called. The upshot is that they go backward in one or more areas before moving forward in another one.

I should come to LA, visit you and test your theory. FOR SCIENCE.
For the record, I have never met a celeb, minor or otherwise.

I had to tweet Colin about the wall heater. He's a celeb, right?

I will do many things for science. Many things.
I had this thing going with Tommy Davidson (decidedly minor) where he started out being quite rude to me, so I was rude back, and by the end of it I was deliberately hip checking him in hallways and then bitchfacing him like "Why the fuck did you bump into me?" It was hysterical.
I need this cookbook so I can make proper rum and raisin ice cream.

Well done indeed!

I kinda wish she'd punched him in the nuts.
I can't believe a guy blew off a meeting with me today. Just...wasn't in his office when I called. And this is after I rescheduled from Monday, when he'd already accepted, at his behest.

Today's Theme: People ita wishes were punched in the nuts. Starring, ita and her friends.
I was at the bus stop awaiting said bus to go to TJ's when the temp dropped, a cold front moved in and brought a Cold November Rain (tm). Thus discouraged I went to the boulangerie and got a fresh baguette (only $1.50!) The unexpected rainpocalypse made everybody chatty and I wound up talking with five strangers in three different stores.
Also, I think I talked the cheeseshop into carrying Devon Cream, at least for the holidays.
But now I've got a baguette, and it's buttered and in the oven and I'm going to slather it with homemade marmalade (I think from Ple) when it comes out.
