Internet stalker
April 14th, 2006 at 02:05 pm by wRitErsbLock in UncategorizedSo I’m a bit of a internet celebrity stalker — just ask SarahK… or now, Chris Muir.
A snippet:
(Jim was walking me out to the car so I could come back to work after lunch. One of Jim’s co-workers, KP, was walking by with Chris Muir.)
R: Is that Chris?
J: Yes.
R: I want to meet him.
(KP and CM were inside the building by then.)
J: Okay, I’ll introduce you.
R: I’m going to take his picture.
J: Um… okay…
(inside now, KP and CM were talking just inside the door)
J: (to CM) I want to introduce you to my wife…
R: (extending hand) Hi Chris, I’m Rachel.
C: (shaking my hand) Hi Rachel.
R: It’s a pleasure to meet you.
C: It’s always nice to meet an actual reader.
R: Yeah, well, so many of the blogs I read link to you…
C: It’s always the bloggers who read me. No one else.
[which is a shame]
R: (to KP who seemed perplexed that I was playing the part of comic strip groupie) See, K, this is what I miss about working here: meeting the artists.
C: Oh are you in the same field?
R: No.
J: No, she used to work here though.
C: Used to?
J: Well, we got married…
R: I don’t date my co-workers…
C: Ah! Yes, there would be some difficulties there.
R: May I take your picture and post it on my blog?
C: Sure.
R: (pushing Jim) Get in the picture too.
J: (to Chris) I guess I’m in the picture too.
C: (putting his arm around Jim) Be sure to Photoshop some devil horns onto me later.
R: Count on it!

He’s very tall, I’m just now noticing now that I’m looking at the picture. Jim isn’t short, but he certainly looks short beside Chris.
(on the off chance he reads this someday) Chris, thanks for being a good sport about my stalking!
As requested, Jim PS’d the picture:

That’s so cool! I love Day by Day. I felt all gaga when I met Matt (Blackfive). It’s a groupie thing…
On the contrary, Rachel, a pleasure to meet you guys!
The horns are GREAT.
Man, I gotta lose some weight!
Rachel, you’re so cool! Tell your friend Chris hi from Frank J.’s wife (no one knows SarahK, but they know Frank J.)! And tell him he’s great!
Sarah, you know I dropped Frank J.’s name when I met Chris. That was in the snippet I didn’t blog.
Of course I’m a name dropper! LOL!
I think I said something like, “I’ll have to email this picture to Frank J. of IMAO, or he won’t believe I met you.”
I have to agree with Chris, the horns are great!
He was such a good sport! And isn’t there a little bit of groupie in all of us. I managed a signed toon!

Well, we know now from where the inspiration for Zed is coming.
If Zed is apparently an accurate manifestation of a the physical characteristics of a real person…well, then, what *I* what to know is, where and when is SAM making her next appearance???
Past the gates of Hell, across fields of broken glass, through an entire Congress full of Democrats (actually, that would be kinda fun - square the shoulders, keep the legs moving!)…I’d be there!
