INNOCENT STALKER

I am innocent. I am not a stalker. But I'm sure famous people have trouble believing that.

Two years ago. I met a "famous person" at a "gathering" of "funny people." I was performing. So was he/she. He/She and I talked. He/She is nice. He/She is gracous. He/She agreed to watch my one-woman show and give me feedback. He/She gave me his/her email address. We corresponded. He/She gave me his/her mailing address. I NEVER exchanged his/her info with another human being. I respected his/her privacy. I mailed him/her my show/pres packet, etc. Nothing. I saw him/her again at another "gathering" of "funny people." He/She remembered me. Apologized for not watching my show. Super nice. Again. I emailed him/her a couple times after that, just to keep him/her posted on my career. And he/she emailed back with encouragement and updates of his/her own. I didn't pursue any other sort of mailing, because obviously he's/she's a busy person, and it really doesn't matter if he/she watches my show or not. I'm over it. The coolest part was that he/she remembered me. And he/she was nice.

CUT to TWO YEARS later, I move to LA. I find a nice guy via craigstlist who needs a roomate. He is nice. I like nice people. So I see a bunch of shitty places, meet a bunch of strange people, and end up deciding to live with the nice guy in a nice neighborhood.

Yesterday, I was cleaning up emails and contact lists. I find the "Famous person's" address.

HE/SHE LIVES ON THE SAME BLOCK. A few houses down.

NO SHIT.

Cool right?

Nope. Not cool at all....

I can NEVER have another conversation with this famous person again.

He/She gave me his/her address, and now I live on the same street.

THAT EQUALS STALKER.

I'm sure he/she doesn't live there anymore. But stillllllll.

What are the effing chances?

If it wasn't so creepy it would be hilarious.
