I just never got excited by celebrity... except for once. I was in a department store when I noticed a girl (this was 1986) browsing through the clothing racks. Nobody noticed her but me, and when I saw her body guard following ten feet behind, I knew I was right. It was Lisa Marie Presley. I wanted to approach her, tell her that I'm a huge fan of her father, and that I, too, lost my dad at a young age. I just wanted to connect with her, just for a moment. Alas, I couldn't feel my legs. I couldn't move the lower half of my body - I was frozen in my spot. I helplessly watched her walk away. That was my one and only starstruck moment. I still shake my head at the thought of it.
