William Gibson

I have a crush on this man. Is this odd? I've never read any of his books. I just happened to attend one of his events at the Vancouver International Writer's Festival and now I lust. I've never crushed on a man old enough to be my father. Yes Patrick Stewart has a certain appeal but it's more of an angular composition thing. The eyes, the brow, the baldness. You know, like a captivating painting.

William Gibson had a strange aura about him. I was drawn to him. Like that pull you feel when you finally meet someone who seems to be on the same page. Only they know each sentence for it's underlying meaning with the same perspective as you. Funny that he and I do not share similarities in our writing (he did read a chapter), in style or subject matter. There was just something odd though. I couldn't take my eyes off of him (well, for very long. Spider Robinson was also speaking).

I suppose we could have known each other in another life. We'll probably meet again if that's the case. It shouldn't be too hard for our paths to cross, we do live in the same city.
