I think it would be really awkward if Neil Gaiman and Todd McFarlane happened to be standing on the same street corner.

Exactly, Ananke! It’s an aura that cripples the minds of adult women with Master’s degrees!

I figured out where the onion ring smell comes from, though, Neil. It’s the Johnny Rockets. So at least I have that.

I’ve met Neil three times.

The first time I was so tongue-tied I merely giggled, then blushed when he said he liked my shirt.

The second time I said “my name is like her name” when asking him to sign Wolves in the Walls.

The third time, I actually formed entire sentences. They may have been spoken three times as fast as usual, but were whole sentences.

The kicker? I’m an adult woman with a Masters degree. I’m not actually a five year old girl with a crush.

I think he’s got some sort of aura…

I met Neil at the SDCC some years ago (he read for the CBLDF a part of his then-nearly-finished novel Coraline), and he was gracious with all of us that fumbled and mumbled and made awkward noises instead of talking properly. Of course, my Mexican accent probably didn’t help my case, but I digress.

I still have the Polaroid someone was gracious enough to take of us, which Neil then got to mess around before it was developed. “It’s something Dave McKean showed how to do”. I left smiling. And later on took a Polaroid of Neil with Frank Miller, Diana Schultz and Chris Oar. Yep, that was my Polaroid summer. heh.

Please ignore that link I just put above for yarn pirate. I erred. What I was going to post was:

Neil Gaiman knows bees.

It could have been worse. It could have been bees. http://yarnpirate.blogspot.com/2007/04/true-story.html
