On my flight to California last week I had the following conversation with the young man sitting next to me, who happened to have the last name of Heap:
Me: So where are you from?
Heap: Arizona.
Me: Were you born there?
Heap: No, I was born in London...or somewhere...I'm not really sure.
Me: Oh, ok...cool...(don't really know what to think about that...)
Heap: I'm acutally going to go to London soon to visit my cousin. She does music and so do I so...
Me: What kind of music does she do?
Heap: She has a band and some of her music is on the soundtrack of Shrek 2 and Garden State...
Me: Oh, that's cool. (For some reason I'm just continuing to go along with the conversation without asking anymore about this cousin of his??)
Heap: She's a bitch, I really don't like her...but I really like her lyrics.
Me: Hm. So when are you going?
Heap: I'm not sure...She's going to help me out with music stuff though. Her band's name is Frou Frou?
Me: Wait...WHAT? Frou Frou?!?
Heap: You know them?
Me: (Instantly morphing into the tween of my youth) They are TOTALLY FAMOUS!
Heap: Her name is Imogen Heap.
Me: I KNOW...SHE IS FAMOUS!! My friends and I LOVE her! OMG!
Heap: Hmm, I didn't know she was that famous. Wow, you're like freaking out all of a sudden...
Can you guys believe that?!?! Now that I see her picture, they really look alike...and he was wearing a hat like that too. Crazy!
Totally famous...and totally met her cousin.
