...I Will Love You...

I'll Be the Greatest Fan of Your Life

You know, in the world of fandom, a person usually sees an actor in a movie/TV show/on stage/whatever and then becomes a fan.

For instance, my love of John Cusack started with the Disney Channel in the middle of the night. In junior high, I was up late one night, flipping channels, and I came across this movie call The Journey of Natty Gann. Once Harry came into the movie, I fell instantly in love. lol. The next day, I had to ask my mom what movies he's been in. And now I would very much like to meet him.

That's how it usually starts, isn't it? With one thing you see them in, then you start to like them, then you want to meet them. Isn't that the way it works?

But now... Now I'm trying to do things backwards, apparently. Last year, I met this guy at Faire. He tried to show off a bit (contact juggling), and we talked for a good 30 minutes, maybe more, while Mom and Alyssa roamed around taking pictures of the trolls. A few months later, I discovered he's a voice over artist, and also discovered that, well, I actually like his work. Now my status as a fan has gotten confused; I met him first, then liked his work, and now I would love nothing more than to meet with him again. Hmmm... I wonder if I'll run into him at any more faires...
