i guess this makes me a creeper.

i think we are all, to a certain extent, obsessed with celebrities. there are different levels and definitions of obsession, but the fact is that most of us are fascinated fame and addicted to famous people's goings-ons.

now, you can indulge in your addiction by reading Us Weekly or People Magazine, or you can be like me and stalk famous people's Facebook/Twitter.

okay that's a bit of an overstatement. first of all, the "celebrities" i internet-stalk aren't exactly household names. most of the people i follow on Twitter or look up on Facebook are only famous in the world inside my computer. that is, popular Youtubers and independent filmmakers/actors. and by internet-stalk, i mean that i'll check their statuses and Tweets, flip thru their pictures on occasion, and if they happen to appear in my "online now" box on Facebook, i won't chat to them but instead stare at the little green dot until it turns into a little crescent moon icon or disappears altogether. and then i'm sad.

...i mean...

okay maybe that's borderline creepy, if not full-throttle creepy, but hey that's what Facebook/Twitter is for.

before you go judging me, can i stress something to you? i am Facebook friends with the star of my favorite movie of all time (Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon, no you probably haven't heard of it, which just means it's really sad to be you), Nathan Baesel. imagine that for a second. imagine if, for example, you love American Beauty and you were Facebook friends with Kevin Spacey. think about that for a hot second, and then judge me when i get ecstatic over every comment Baez and i exchange.

he follows me on Twitter guys! i'm not popular on Twitter. that meant the world to me.

yes i know it's just the internet and therefore, an alternate universe and "not real." but to someone who spends the majority of her time in front of a computer screen, it's pretty goddamn real. so just let me have this! you mocked me for fantasizing about being Johnny Depp's friend when i was going through a powerful Pirates phase, but let me have this!

(and Nathan Baesel, if you're reading this--which i'm halfway hoping you don't--please don't be freaked out. our virtual friendship just makes me very very excited.)
