rodneyscatDon't get me wrong. I know that the chances of even just meeting Elijah in a 'can I have your autograph and I really think you're awesome in ::insert a future movie::' way, are very small. And even if I would meet him, I would leave exactly the same impression on him as I did the one time I did get to meet him: none at all (I'm not being cynical about this, just being realistic) and most of the time (let's say 99,9% of the time, ok?) I'm completely content with that. I love watching him in his movies, watching pictures, reading about him, about what little of his private life, of himself, that we get to see, about his work. He makes my heart go pitter patter Every Single Time. The way he looks, the way he sounds, serious, giddy, amused, subdued, openhearted or reserved.
But every now and then it hits me: I'll never have him.
It's completely outrageous to even think something like that. Of course I'll never have him!
But damn, every so often, for a moment. Ouch.
It doesn't even hurt in a funny, haha, silly me, way.
Just remember that I really completely realize there's no way, not ever... I'm not stupid you know. And usually it's not an issue. Just twice a year. For a short while.
Nope, I'll never have him

You need to concentrate on being happy in the ways that you can, and not lament that you don't have that impossible celebrity that you don't really know, you just have an impression of from press released coverage. You see what they want you to see, not what they ARE.
It is said that people who lust over something they know they can't have are merely sabotaging themselves. They're too scared to deal with real life, and real people, so they become obsessed with something so far out of reach that they never have to worry about interacting with anyone in any sort of relationship or sexual sense. This way you can excuse not dating that guy who likes you and avoid that whole, ya know, LIVING thing because you're obsessed with Orli, or Dom...
I know that's not the case with all of you, but seriously, you guys...look at yourselves! If the worse thing that happens to you in your life is that you weren't noticed by Elijah, consider yourself lucky!
Maybe I'm being mean, but sometimes you need to be smacked back into reality! This is obsession, people...it's SICK, and I don't just mean that for effect, I mean it as in any psychiatrist would tell you that you have a problem!
Be happy! Life is for friends and love and joy...these people are just actors. They entertain us...but TV and movies aren't concrete things! They're transient, and nothing to base a life off of...when you die, do you really want to know you spent your life obsessing over TV or movies...things that are supposed to reflect life, not be them.

Twice a year, for a short while feeling that pang of 'damn' isn't that bad. Having unreasonable desires every now and then doesn't make me a sick person. We're just having our occasional 'meh'-moment and then we go on with our lives. For some getting on with their lives may even be difficult, because not everybody is as lucky as I am. They really need a place like this to vent. Because I'm sure that's exactly what most people are doing: either having their rare 'meh'-moment or really venting some frustration to be able to do exactly what you're suggesting: lead a real life. They do that! Trust me on that.
