Yesterday evening, I checked my email. Checked Google Reader, which I have not been checking for a while: Surprise! Fantasy writer Neil Gaiman is engaged to Singer-songwriterAmanda Palmer! I am a fan of those two.
My first reaction:
- Isn’t he married?
- I did not know they were dating.
- Does this end any chances of a Dresden Dolls reunion?
- They would make an awesome couple.
- Why do I care too much about celebrities that DO NOT KNOW I EVEN EXIST!
So I checked the Internet, not a good time, our ISP’s service is so SLOW last night. I learned that Gaiman was separated from his ex-wife for more than 5 years. It turns out I am not that big of a fan, anyway. Hahaha! Meow has been telling me I am beginning to be one of the stalker-type fans, but no! I did not know. I am normal after all.
I can’t sleep much last night thinking about it. So, that was creepy. I take it back, I am not normal, after all!
Checking the validity of the news, it appears to be true. Gaiman posted it in his blog and Palmer has tweet about it. This is like BIG NEWS in the geek layer of the blogsphere, geeks are abuzz about it, and they are happy. And you’d hear the type of geekiness you hear when a geek icon marries someone cool. They are inspired.
The spunky singer of the Dresden Dolls marries the the Sandman creator. What can I say about that? Really! I am out of words.
