Ever meet someone you've idolized since high school? I met Patti Smith yesterday at a gallery opening (Please don't think that I attend those regularly. Gallery openings make me queasy). It was great because she had always been kind of a superstar to me but meeting her transformed her into just a talanted artist. And there's a huge difference, of which I can't explain, but there is, and that's fucking cool to me.

I dunno. I can't stop smiling.

(and props to Charlie, who has me laughing nonstop these past two days. I heart talking to people I haven't seen in forever.)
