Keep in mind this all took place with us screaming and not being able to hear because of loud dance music.
Me: *dancing somewhat drunkenly on the dance floor with a sea of people*
Gal I don’t know: Hey! Uh, I have a random question, sorry.
Me: Uh, what?
Gal: Do you know Josh [last name]?
Me: Yeah, he’s like one of my best friends
Gal: Oh my god, I think I read your blog!
Me: …Blag Hag?
Gal: YEAH! That’s so weird! I totally wanted to join your club too
Me: *attempts to explain the next date and website while mildly inebriated, probably failed*
…It’s one thing for people to recognize me at the Secular Student Alliance conference, but at a dance club/bar? I…am sort of in awe.
It was also around this point that a swarm of cute guys appeared on the dance floor and were actually dancing with me. Then I recognized a couple of them and realized they were all coming from the Queer Student Union’s callout. I shake my fist at you, cute gay guys getting my hopes up!
That’s a good thing. Isn’t it? Except for the cute gay guys – they do that a lot, I’m told.
You are so becoming the next big thing in freethought. Move over PZ!
Awwww. Poor you.At least you’re out socialising. And enjoying your youth while it’s there.Congrats on being famous – I guess. Hope it doesn’t turn weird/creepy too fast.
Dan!: PZ has an amazing beard. I don’t know if Jen can ever replace that.
@Veritas: Big boobage* trumps amazing beard every time. Unless amazing beard sparkles and forms self-aware tentacles.* Didn’t cross a line there, did I? *ducks*
Nah, I’m proud of my big boobies
@Joé: I don’t know. Boobs are great and all, but it’s hard to pass judgement on boobs vs. beard. You can really trust a man with a beard. How do you think Grant got elected as president twice?
@Veritas: Cuz Loveless’s giant spider failed to take him out.[/lame joke about lame movie]But come on – we’re talking about boobs here. No straight male, bisexual or lesbian wouldn’t be won over.Besides, about trusting bearded men … I know a certain few who beg to differ. ;-)
Who am I kidding, I love boobs too. I’m just trying to stick up for PZ a little. But we all know he’s to be supplanted soon.
I don’t mean to be controversial or anything but I think beards win anytime. Remember Charlton Heston in The Ten Commandments? His wisdom and holiness grew according to the length and whiteness of his magnificent facial hair. I won’t even mention Darwin. I did though.If Einstein had grown a beard, he would have come up with the Theory of Everything for sure. Unfortunately, a mustache is only good enough for Photoelectric Effect and General Relativity.By the way, Hey, uhm, Jen? We could recognize you here in Spain too! You’re a worldwide famous girl now. That’s a good thing… free drinks everywhere.
Genghis Khan had a bitchin’ beard, too. So did Lincoln. I mean, beards are freaking badass.
On the other hand, there’s a lot of ambivalence about beards, whereas I know people of every gender and sexuality who like female breasts.
cute gay guys getting my hopes up! Ha ha! You just became a different type of Hag. ;)
Congrats Jen, you famous here too in North Carolina!
So wait, my stalking of you is now common practice? Well where is the fun in that then…This makes me a sad panda. :(
My “odd level of fame” story is from back when I was in film school. I was performing in Rocky Horror, and had brought in a prop borrowed from a (comedy, not porn) film I was working on – a 10 pound 3 foot long rubber dildo.Months later, nowhere near the Rocky theater, I’m driving to a shoot before sunrise, and a car pulls up next to me. They start honking and flashing their lights. I, wondering I’m about to be carjacked, carefully ignore them. Finally the passenger is literally leaning out of the open window, frantically motioning to me. With much trepidation, I roll down the window, only to hear: “Hey, aren’t you that guy with the big dick at Rocky Horror?”
Don’t forget the guys who recognized you at the football game on Saturday. So when you take over the world, don’t forget about me, okay? ;)
LOL this is the “gal you don’t know.” I don’t mean to be creepy, I just wanted to introduce myself! I should also mention that I was pretty wasted. That influenced about…. 80% of my decision to say hi to you. :P
It wasn’t creepy at all – more weird in the “omg I can’t believe someone recognized me” way. Like a good odd way, haha.
