Cousin. Celebrity. Bad.

Rant

I'm pissed. Really, really pissed.

Why?

Well, last week, my cousin became a local, youth pop star here in Bangkok, Thailand. And since then, I've been getting calls… daily calls by unknown adolescent girls, all wanting to know his number. Sometimes I get them three times a day, even.

Here I am, going about my usual days, developing games and suddenly, I get phone calls from girls everyday, wanting to get to know my cousin…

…and lately, even me. Yep.

Sounds cool? Nah, it's annoying. Really annoying.

I've seen celebs go mad over too many people wanting to bathe in their glory - and it's one reason I will never wish to be one.

I have a friend who is extremely popular among guys at the college. Once she would get calls all the time, actually on a daily basis, from guys trying to ask her out. She seriously hated it.

Popularity is overrated.

Oh yeah, did I mention that there is a fan club dedicated to him? Oh lord. I hope this is a short fad that ends soon. If the fan club grows, I'm going to be swamped.

Meh.

Why not just kill your cousin?

^ Then he'd have thousands of calls from furious unknown adolescent girls.

You should tell them to screw off each time you answer. Eventually word will get around, and people will probably stop calling so much. =D

Being a celebrity = tough life. You gotta smile all the time, and you can't just explode at all. paparazzi, false news reporters, and true news flamers are all over the places. No wonder, some celebrities have to take drugs to get over it, not to mention that they have to also stand against Photoshop as well. (You know what I mean)
