Dear Diary,

I don't think you can really top yesterday's entry. I mean engaged to Taylor Hicks? That's hard to beat. But I'll try. Let me start by saying that in case there was any confusion, I am not in real life engaged to Mr. Hicks. Although I do feel we are "MFEO." :) And I feel like being 12, so the acronym was appropriate.

Have you ever seen "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" with Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly? Well, there's a song in there that goes "It's fate, baby, it's fate." That rings true for me and Taylor. I mean, the man went to Auburn University for pete's sake! When he was autographing multiple items last night he asked who he should make it out to. I told him my name and then was about to spell it but remembered that he should know. And I said so, "You don't need to know how to spell Auburn." "Nah," he smiled.

Have I ever mentioned I'm a sucker for smiles? Well, the real story? He was brilliant in the show. He was amazingly kind in the Meet & Greet. And he remains as my favorite (living) artist. But he will probably never get around to popping the question...to me.

So in other news, I was amused to hear from an old acquaintance the other day. He apparently now lives a rather high profile life. Even made national news just a few days ago. I barely had any conversations with him when we knew each other. But apparently he remembers me enough to make contact. Not that I'm saying there's anything there, but it was interesting to hear from him.

Where is this fame thing coming from in my Diary, recently? Makes it exciting to see what tomorrow should hold...
