This isn’t the first blog I’ve ever been part of. I feel that it is time to come clean. Even though it is still early in the life of the Absurd Intellectual, I don’t want to continue to live a lie. Here’s the facts…
A few years ago, I was at a conference where one of the presenters was author and actress Carrie Fisher. Having been a fan for decades, I took the opportunity to introduce myself to her. As luck would have it, as I was making pitiful fan-boy small talk with her (of the type I’m sure she has heard millions of times) a friend of hers arrived and interrupted our brief conversation. They made plans to go for a drink and, I assume, on impluse or due to some sudden pang of guilt for the interruption, Ms Fisher invited me along.
In hindsight, it was probably a courtesy that I was expected to decline, but I’m not well versed in such manners and accepted. Eventually, there were several of us – perhaps a dozen – drinking heavily in a private room. I won’t go into details, but eventually intoxication on both my part and that of Ms Fisher led us into a situation… and let’s leave it at that.
Somehow this story made its way to a celebrity blogger who tracked me down and offered me a substantial amount of money to write a guest post about the encounter. To my eternal shame, I accepted. In fact, I even allowed a compromising photo to be posted.
With my guilty conscience purged, I invite you to read the post of which I write. This post, I’m afraid, was not prize-winning.
