In the wake of my last post, which by the way, most people failed to notice was not exclusively about Justin Spirit, I received a lot of strange e-mails, as I do with almost every post nowadays.
One anonymous person wrote me to say, "I know Justin Spirit personally, and I take offense to your making fun of him on your blog. Please take down the picture, because I have it on good authority that he would not appreciate it." Amongst a host of depricating comments that endeavored to slander my love, wisdom, and christianity, that actually have absolutely nothing to do with my posting of the picture in the first place.
Being as I do not know Justin Spirit "personally", I was a little daunted by this e-mail at first, until I realized that the formerly quoted person probably, in their haste to do godly things, was not able to waste their time actually READING my blog post, which (Niki offered:) "Actually makes it sound like I'm obsessed with him as opposed to making fun of him."
Great. Just the way I like it.

Actually, I've never really been the kind of person to exhibit obsession for the ordinary sort of people we've come to call "Family celebrities". (Sure, I posted a long diatribe about my teenage crush Mr. Miguel...but that's...different.)
I really honestly do not have the guts to walk up to someone well-known or popular and say stuff like "Yo, you're that singer right? Yo. Word, dude. Can you sign my notebook?"

I don't know why. I just don't feel like that'd be a classy way to hit it off with someone.

I don't think any of the musicians in the Family actually ENJOY being famous, or tout their celebrity title anyplace. I don't think it really grates on their nerves or anything, because it's really just too much of a stupid thing to let it get to you. But that's exactly it, it makes you feel stupid. So you walk up to someone and say "Ahhh oh my god! Like, you're STEM's SISTER!" and it makes them feel STUPID. Like, "Yeah. He was a demigod since birth. I'm so lucky to be related to him."

Basically, I don't know what this post is getting at. Maybe I'll take this opportunity to reunite Justin Spirit's head with his body. No hard feelings. *kaching! Big smile!*

And I have come to the conclusion that the reason why I like SOE is because the songs are written so damn brilliantly. That is the long and short of it.
