Re: Christmas presents: The Best and the Worst.
Had to smile at that. I wonder who looked at you and thought, "I know what this guy needs! An olive dish!" ;)
CrystalGeezer - Love that picture. I just want to know what that little elf did wrong?!
What made me smile today? My cat bopping his head to music (Okay, my husband was slightly manipulating that said movement, but it was amusing nonetheless).
I thought it'd be fun to see some of the best and worst presents you've been given at Christmas, over the years, have been.
Obviously no harm intended - I know gifts are given with kind generosity, but still - I'm sure in the spirit of humour, some of us have a memory of that dodgy gift you...
Here is one of my pictures. I know it looks like I am actually squeezing the life out of Tori, but I assure you it's just a lovely hug (albeit a very emotional one, for me anyway!) ;)
Chickpea- That's amazing. Thanks for sharing. So many people have very strong pre-conceived ideas about the Jacksons. To hear about her being so warm and kind is lovely. I saw Michael on tour, a few times, in the 90's, and have alot of respect for him.
Detritus- Love that story! I've not seen...
Chickpea-Thanks for your reply, sounds like you've had some really interesting experiences through your work. I also agree with you-something indeed DOES change when you meet someone you admire...Tori Amos has been one of my favourite artists, for many years, and I was relieved to find that she...
Charlie, that sounds like a great experience. You're right, kindness costs nothing and gives a fan a real gift of a memory.
I've heard Morrissey is kind to fans. I'd love to have the chance to meet him. I'd likely shrivel up with nerves :)
I always had the impression Jo Brand would be sweet, though like you, I never thought much of her comedy :)
I met Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice) once, back when I was younger. I remember her saying to me, "You've got beautiful hair!" Random but true.
That is totally soaked in ego. A shame when the fame goes to their heads. The nicest for me was Daryl Hannah from Kill Bill. She was so sweet.
Corey Fieldman from Goonies and Lost Boys? He seemed very into himself, that put me off.
Celebrities you've met - but wish you hadn't?
Thought it'd be interesting to see if any of you have met any of your favourite artists, or celebrities.
How was the experience? Have you met certain individuals but were left wishing that you hadn't?
I have to admit that most of my experiences...
Somtow does look really interesting, he appears to be the kind of author that appeals to me, because I love exploring anything dark and sinister. I do have a "books-to-be-read" list and I can see me definitely giving his work a chance. Tagging the Moon is officially on that list :)
As for my...
I'm really curious now, I'm a huge fan of dark, unnerving fiction. I've loved horror all of my life. I've had some unusual and odd experiences in my own life, which inspired me to write.
I'm currently reading "S" which is an unusual novel. I might look at your recommendations in the new year...
Re: I'm an author - looking for some input.
Hi Anon! Poppy Z Brite really appeals to me, I have not read any of the authors work as of yet.I may look into the particular authors you mentioned. Thanks for recommending! :)
