sub_divided: cos it gets me through, hope you never stop (Default)

This is so exciting that I'm not going to hide it behind a cut, even if it is about my real life. A friend of the family just called, looking for my parents who have already left for the weekend. And he said:

Antiparos, where we're staying for three weeks starting 5am Monday morning, is this summer's hot spot. A number of American movie icons have randomly decided to head out there en mass prior to this year's Olympics. I specifically heard Tom Cruise, among other names. He'll be there when I'll be there.

I'm not a stalker or anything, but this is a 10 mile-wide island with one downtown area. Chances are high.

Damn man, that's a little intimidating. I already don't look anything like a beach-going rich sorority girl clubber. I'm a geeky girl going on a family vacation to what I'd heard was a generally quiet small island with friendly locals and crazy Swedish tourists. Now I really will have to bust out the fake-tan lotion.

I'd promise photographs, but I already know that if I do see anyone famous, I will definitely not be gawking. They deserve the vacation, and it's not like I subscribe to American icon-worship, after all. No, not me, definitely not... damn I am such a hypocrite.

And I hope everyone got Les Mis who wanted it, because my love for Ragtime! is just too great. I'm a bit bummed about the sound quality on my copy (which is a copy of a copy), and I had to make the files slightly larger to compensate, so I'm sorry. But, Ragtime has such great music anyway, there's no way you can't like it. Not even if you are an audiophile. Not even if you don't like musicals. Not no way, not no how.

That said, the first act for the most part is better than the second act (which is almost the first but in a scary minor key).

BIG FAT EDIT, or WHY AM I SUCH A LIAR?
My mom checked with someone whose job is to stalk celebrities, and she says that it isn't Tom Cruise but Tom Hanks who is vacationing in Greece. Whoops. Plus, he'll probably be staying at nearby club island Paros rather than Antiparos. Double whoops. Tom Hanks doesn't strike me as the sort to frequent nude beaches. Thus, in one blow I succed both in crushing [livejournal.com profile] irreverentangel's hopes of paparazzi nude Tom Cruise pictures and [livejournal.com profile] falxumbra's undeserved belief in me. Sorry V, but it looks like I'm still a Big Fat Liar. The aforementioned already know this, but please, never take my word for anything.

AND ONE MORE
This is the last thing I say here, I swear. Google says that Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are also likely, and that it is Antiparos rather than Paros. Since Pitt is hotter than Cruise ever was, it's all good; operation "I'm not a stalker, really" is back in effect.

Thank you Nathan. You're a better friend than I could ever be.
