I really wish that Mike could have come with me into the
city last week. I would have been much less tense and things would’ve worked
out better, I’m sure. He seriously was planning on doing so until his
dislocated shoulder injury occurred but even then it seemed like he was going
to schedule his therapy appointment around JT Day. There’s no sense in dwelling
on what could have been though.
I told Sharon that
I have a perfect picture of me and Regis Philbin from the mid-1980s but a not-so-
great one of me with Mr. Taylor. Why can’t this be the opposite? I didn’t even
want my picture taken with Regis; Dad is the one that made me do so which is
majorly embarrassing.
Maybe if I had
moved a little closer to bassist guy then the picture would be fine despite my
forgetting to take it off of zoom. Sharon said that camera guy should have
known to do so and not to blame myself.
Yikes, I was afraid
to get any nearer to Mr. Taylor. Other people did; I saw those pics on DD’s FB
page. I already felt like I was invading his personal space even where I was
standing.
Mike and Mom don’t
seem to respect my personal space which is very irritating as is the fact that
they always make it seem like I’m the weird one for wanting this. Sometimes she
claims that she isn’t even close to me when she actually is- her spatial
perception has been awful for years now.
Either green
sweater girl or her friend said that it looks okay and just to get it in
TruPrint which I usually do anyhow but
even the Walgreens site has messed up some of my photos, like one of Anna at
the 2008 Wellmont show and a few of Brad Paisley.
I should be a
thoughtful person and send Lori and Lana my JT pictures. They seem like nice
girls. If I were normal I would probably like to have friends like these.
I haven’t even
touched my 2 JT books; they are still in the bags and on top of my tote. I want
to just keep them in the bags even when I store them inside of one of these but
part of me is wondering if doing so will mess them up somehow; I sure hope not.
I’m too embarrassed to ask Amy or Sharon about this.
I am pretty sure
that green sweater girl said that Simon is her favorite. She told me that Kenny
Rogers had also been at this bookstore but that he couldn’t do a signing
because he has Carpal Tunnel Syndrome which I already knew about. Mom and her
friend Pat saw him in concert in the mid-1980s. I was a little jealous of them,
especially because Dolly Parton was there performing “Islands in a Stream” with
him.
I just remembered something else about that
day in Ridgewood. A couple of the girls had gone to a nearby deli for takeout
lunch and must have mentioned this event to the employees. One of them came
over to the line and was taking people’s orders then delivering them.
Mike is going to the
Chiller Theatre Event next weekend. He will get to meet his Samantha Fox there.
You have to pay extra to get your picture taken with the stars at that which
I’m sure that he will do in this case. I bet that it will come out perfectly
unlike the one of me and JT. I definitely will be jealous and beating myself up
even more about that.
He actually asked
me what he should say to Samantha. You are asking the wrong person, brother. I
did a very poor job of talking to bassist guy.
I didn’t even ask
him how he was doing; how rude of me. He was nice enough to ask me this at the
NYC signing. And I really should have said “Enjoy the rest of your day” too.
I’m so sorry, Mr. Taylor.
I had that feeling
of not belonging there amongst those diehard fans. Maybe many of them would
have thought that I was kind of weird for not following them in the 80s. Wait;
does this make it sound like they are part of a DD cult?
One girl said that
her husband used that cult reference a few times to her – this was either at
the DD Megabash that I still can’t believe that I actually went to or one of
the concerts; probably the former.
A part of me does
want to join that DD fan site again, not the more expensive membership though. But
I never truly felt like I was a part of this “club” those 2 years when I was in
it, just like when I was a Girl Scout, but it did feel a little good to be a
member of both.
