| | between jon and kate getting a divorce and that twilight guy getting hit by a cab, I don't understand why all celebs don't just cash in their chips and scurry their bling-paved ways into obscurity. Let's face it, being rich is great, but being famous sucks.
Most celebs have my sympathy. I can't imagine total strangers talking to me like they know me. I can't imagine being followed everywhere I go. I can't imagine reading stuff about myself said by others. I try really really hard to avoid celebrity gossip, but when the headlines are plastered on CNN (for crying out loud!!) it's kinda hard to sidestep.
In other news, Monday marked the13th anniversary of the day carlos and I first saw each other. That's almost half our lifetimes. I remember that day. It was muggy and overcast and our friends Jennifer and Andrew had arranged a blind date (movie and a meal) for us (they came along of course). I remember walking up to him and shaking his hand. We said "hi" and introduced ourselves. I still remember what both of us wore. We had fun but I didn't think either of us felt any sparks. Then he called me that night and we talked for an hour. The rest is history. :)
A few months later, I found out he hadn't slept the whole night before because he was nervous (or so he told me). He had rented three movies: The Juror, Father of the Bride, and Speed. According to him, each of these movies had major characters named Annie. I guess this added to the nerves.
So here we are. The spot where we met has changed a lot... it was where the Gap used to be in Galleria II on the second floor. And to say the least, *we've* certainly changed a lot in the last decade or so. As much as we'd love to take credit for our current state of relative bliss, our success or failure seems so arbitrary, the more I think about it. Rich or poor, famous or obscure, kids or no kids, people split all the time. I guess it's enough to be happy in what we've reaped so far, which admittedly, is a wonderful life together.
