Starstruck? Not.

Well, it seems my fate to always be surrounded by celebrities and to have no idea of their fame. I think they ought to be offended, but they barely know me as well, so it's a mutual ignorance. My high school was a crucible for Thai stardom. Off the top of my head, I can think of close to a dozen high school classmates who are now singers, actors, models, television hosts, and combinations of these occupations in the Thai entertainment industry. Then there was college, and now, just so I know how old I am, my own students are entering the industry. I was sitting around watching Thai TV with my mom, thankful my cold seems to be on its way out, when she turned to some horribly sappy Thai soap and noted, "Everyone on this show is a newbie." I was like, "Really?", without really caring. We watched this awful bit of "entertainment" for a few minutes when the hero of the piece shows up. Lo and behold, it was one of my students! Now I know why all the girls in the class were swooning over him, despite the fact he looks a little like an overinflated rooster. I Googled him and it turns out he has quite the drooling fanbase. I can't help but laugh as I type that. I look at him and I see a baby, someone to chaperone and shepherd into adulthood. Others look at him and see a hunk of man beef. LAUGH OUT LOUD. I'm getting old.
Final thought: Still laughing.
