And that guy is huge. I'd have been shaking in my boots, too.

If you were ever looking for the new Mr. Maureen, you probably have a guy/girl ratio of like 50 to one at those conventions, huh?<BR/><BR/>Boy, that stinks. I am afraid to meet my heroes or idols or whatever for that very reason- I wouldn't know what to do if they turned out to be poopieheads. Would I burn their books or CD's? The thing is that all of the other actors at those things already know he's a schlep and probably don't like him anyhow. <BR/><BR/>It's nice that Peter II helped you out of your pit of despair. I bet you never thought a stormtrooper would be rescuing you from Chewbacca!the frogsterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01968823458259525111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747832045286924202.post-8493443706111519082008-01-25T08:40:00.000-06:002008-01-25T08:40:00.000-06:00That's terrible!

I could have worked IV too, but it was a case of “been there, done that.” Oh, why weren’t you by my side giving me that great comeback when I needed you? That WOULD have been the comeback of the century!<BR/><BR/>Christine: Yeah, you really have to separate fact from fiction when you meet celebrities.<BR/><BR/>Jill: Absolutely. You are right; he shouldn’t do signings if they stress him out like that. It makes everyone look bad. But what else is the guy going to do? That was is only part and it’s been his cash cow since.<BR/><BR/>Heather: Thanks. Yes, the others more than make up for the one jerk.<BR/><BR/>Sweet Irene: You are completely right! Thank you.<BR/><BR/>Toners: I hope his wife reminded him that I was a co-worker, not someone who just decided to cut the line and barge in… but ever since I have stayed well away from him.<BR/><BR/>Megan: It was disappointing. I hope she did, but I’ll never know.<BR/><BR/>Aimeslee: Yeah, if he wasn’t so hurtful, it would have been funny. I should have laughed in his face!<BR/><BR/>Lotus07: Har! I have nearly 150 Star Wars autos… I am sure some would be pretty valuable nowadays (even Alec Guinness).<BR/><BR/>Immoral Matriarch: Oh, yeah there are… they’re called “Trekkies”. Just kidding; actually I like most science fiction, Star Trek included. I just obsessed over Star Wars. <BR/><BR/>Oh Amanda: there are more than just you who’ve never seen the movies… you either like science fiction or you don’t. It doesn’t matter. To each their own. ;) thanks.<BR/><BR/>Phoenix5: Yeah, you should see my basement; I do believe it is one of the largest SW collections in Canada. Been on TV and radio and in newspapers. I have every rendition of those dang movies many times over. And you hit the nail on the head with your last paragraph.<BR/><BR/>Heather: Thank you!Maureenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01797167028822330935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747832045286924202.post-13659866325531046592008-01-23T20:37:00.000-06:002008-01-23T20:37:00.000-06:00Excuse my language but he was a complete asshole. I mean you didn't ask him to do it right then, you asked if you could leave it for when he returned from his break. If I was his wife I would have chewed him a new one. I hope he doesn't treat her badly. Sounds like the abusive type to me. And I don't blame you for being unable to retort. First of all that reaction was completely unexpected and second, he is HUGE. He can be intimidated not yelling at you.<BR/><BR/>Bad Chewy, bad bad.Vegas Princesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10588999664483664504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747832045286924202.post-29041878669677798032008-01-23T18:29:00.000-06:002008-01-23T18:29:00.000-06:00Okay first, you tell a great story.

I have never been to any of the conventions, mostly because I am usually too broke to be able to afford it! LOL! I actually wore out my first VHS copies of the movies, and, in proper fan tradition, passed on the love of the movies to my own kids! LOL! My two daughters wore out the SECOND VHS set I bought! Now I have all 6 movies on DVD (Special Editions, all) which I HOPE will last a bit longer. <BR/><BR/>Boo! Hiss! to the first Peter, and Hooray! to the second! Some people are just not meant to be in the public eye, that's for sure, while others are most worthy of it.Phoenix5http://www.blogger.com/profile/06717890637366842487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747832045286924202.post-50227194734196382262008-01-23T17:06:00.000-06:002008-01-23T17:06:00.000-06:00Okay..I'm going to be honest.

Sometimes there are people in the world that we could easily do without and apparently you met one of them.

Of course you weren't expecting that and even if you had been, he *already* made you feel bad - you don't have to put yourself down TOO for something that was all his fault in the first place. Glad it seems like you had an otherwise good time & glad you ended up getting your picture back. For his part, he should maybe think about whether or not it's worth it to do those conventions - seems like he must really hate doing them to have lashed out at you like that. :-( :-( :-(Jillhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10439582294571462742noreply@blogger.com
