Hmm, I think I'm destined to be famously uncool (That kind of famous must be good for more than 15 minutes, because I'm pretty sure I was just as clueless back in HS, and jr high befoe that).

Talk about the last hooray for popular people. I recently went to a funeral that was AT LEAST 1,000 people strong. He was one of my very favorite mentors in the world. Apparantly, he was everyone's mentor. I wonder if I've ever even been that wonderful for 5 minutes. So now to figure out how to be that kind of person. So awesom and kind and giving and amazing. He probably didn't even realize how amazing he was. But famous? I'm not sure that word would fit. Will you guys come to my funeral? I would be willing to cut you into my will, although that might not be any real incentive. I'd be willing to give someone my 45 year old sewing machine. Would that make you come?

Well, that's what I heard anyway, when the owner of a used book store told me I looked like I was made from "good pioneer breeding stock." Fifteen minutes of fame. If I could choose, I would pass on the hollywood extra and take a full serving of the kind in which they run out of chairs at your funeral because all the people with whom you connected in some simple but personal way want to come to say good-bye.

Are we supposed to say naughty things to famous people? Today I walked into a restaurant and met a friend for lunch. When I walked up to the counter to get our table the guy about fell over himself saying that he didn't recognize me when I came in and he was so sorry and would get us seated right away. He asked how things were and that he missed me. He missed me (had to say it twice because the next thing is the most important). I don't think I had ever seen him before in my life; really. But Laurie said, "Yeah, EVERYONE know's her." I think that was about 15 seconds so I still have 14 minutes and 45 seconds left to find the rest of my fame.

So the 15 minutes can be exponential in nature due to the regionality of fame and it fleeting behavior. Also fame is categorical. Say like my friend is famous for being an amazing plant pathologist. Say her name in plant circles and people swoon. Mention it around chocolate and they do likewise. However, mention it in a sports connotation and they think of a completely different person. I would venture to say your bloggernacle 15 minutes has just begun. The scrunchie version over and done with; And your 15 minutes of hotness could be extended through the use of thermite in correct proportions. ;-) Me? I don't want fame. I want fortune. :-D Okay the fame thing must be regional, I have no idea who your parents are…

I have never, not once, worn a scrunchie. Not even to be ironic. Chiffon bows? Sure, and in a rainbow of colors. Scrunchie? Sorry. Sometimes, when I'm feeling glum, it's nice to see my dad on TV.

A decade or so later, he was quoted as saying, "In the future everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes." I'm bored with that line. I never use it anymore.
