Who on this board is an A-list celebrity?

And, gosh, Blue, I know this'll shock you, but Groundskeeper Willie isn't actually Scottish, either! Oh wait! They're all fictional characters! Who cares where the actors are from?

Up to this point we had been talking about actual people, and a lot of times people refer to actors on Star Trek by their character's names. Sorry for speaking redundantly, Miss B.A.

Just a thought here, but are A-List celebrities actually allowed to use computers without supervision by their handlers?

Or, do they know how to use them? Maybe they have their assistants look stuff up for them....

I'm not awake yet....

Well, since I'm essentially a fictitious character here too, I figured, why not?

(I am in fact, really a 23 year old woman named Kate who think Elvis -- not to mention Anthony Steward Head -- are "old and icky" but who nevertheless, has been listening to "North" "non-stop.")

So, that means that bobster is but a figment of Kate's imagination. Which means that Kate, posing as "bobster," posited the perfect girl for "bobster," who is very similar to herself (twentysomething, named Kate, possessed of opinions on Buffy and Elvis), but also strikingly different.

Kate, I think you have some--how shall I put it?--self-actualization issues.

No, no, no..."my" perfect match was the 29 year old Kate who actually liked Elvis (and Buffy).

When are you people going to get this stuff straight!

Of course, at this point, "I" am in serious fugue state.

Time to pull those Phillip K. Dick books off the shelf!

Kate, I have your stuff straight. I said, "possessed of opinions" and "twentysomething." I didn't say they weren't conflicting opinions, nor did I say they were exactly the same age. Many young women (I count myself among them) have no opinion whatsoever of this Head fellow.

Is Richard Belzer considered an 'A-list' celebrity? I'm not him, I'd just like to know.

Well, no more than Anthony Stewart Head is.

"Kate"

wheeeeeeeee!

i've got my second obsession discussing my first obsession!!!!!

maybe the a-list celeb is me? or, maybe i'm the force behind the a-list celeb, look what i got this list to do!

poppet's obsessions: buffy (particularly anthony stewart head), and elvis costello (and the ec board). oh, and interior design and type layout. i get pretty incensed over poorly laid-out type.

*holds up a shiny mirror to poppet's post*

um, ME AS WELL.

i have a mild-to-middling obsession with the Buffy fandom. i'm trying to get into it more, so i can ditch my embarrassing middling-to-extreme obsession with the Harry Potter fandom. it's all Alan Rickman's fault, i swear. i mean, it's hard to use that as a justification for my enjoyment of, say, twinfic, but eh...oh, man, i'm gonna stop now before i shoot my digital self in the foot.

the shame, folks. the SHAME.

"Twinfic"???

Is that like fanfic about interior design and imaginary gay relationships between Anthony Stewart Head and Alan Rickman?

And how does Richard Belzer fit in?

Poppet · Post by **Poppet** » Sun Oct 05, 2003 2:34 pm

bobster! stop it!

if i wrote fanfic, the plot bunnies would be pretty frantic right about now, having read that post.

i imagine twinfic is a specific harry potter genre - the weasley twins.

gotta say, i do NOT want to consider that EVER. oh my.

can i scrub my brain now, please?
