Grease 2 - 25th Year Reunion

{smoothgallery} 

July 21st, 2007 - I went to a convention today and it turned out to be a Grease-2 reunion as well.  I met Adrian Zmed, Leif Green, Maureen, Liz and Jean Sagal.  They were very nice to talk to. They saw me and wanted to talk to me. I shook their hand but did not speak much.  I think I was a little star-struck  . They spoke to my parents for a while asking about where we were from, what we liked etc. They took pictures with us and signed a picture for me. On the picture Leif wrote...."To the handsomest boy in Hollywood".

Meeting Hollywood Celebrities

July 21st, 2007 - Since we live in Los Angeles, there is a good chance, we can see or meet some Hollywood celebrities. My parents found one such event called the Hollywood Collectors show which invites some Hollywood celebreties to a convention where common people like myself can meet these starts, get their autographs, take pictures with them etc. My parents thought it would be a good idea to go meet some of them. Most of the stars who attend these events are not huge celebrities. In most cases, they were TV stars of shows that are no longer running or popular.

Once we got there, we paid the entrance fee and went into the hotel conference room. It was well organized and very systematic. There was no crowd. We walked around to see if we could identify anyone and as we were going around, the Grease 2 table took a liking to me and wanted to talk to me. Imagine that, they wanted to talk to me. Having me around helped my parents to start a conversation with these stars. We took some pictures with them and they also autographed a picture for me. I met Adrian Zmed, Leif Green, Maureen, Liz and Jean Sagal. It was also the 25th year reunion of the movie.

After that I met the Grease 2 cast, I met Lou Ferrigno, who was on the Incredible Hulk. Morgan Fairchild was sitting next to him but no one seemed to care. I also met Charlotte Rae who was Mrs Garrett on the show Diff'rent Strokes. I also took a picture with Barry Williams, who was Greg Brady on the Brady Bunch.

Admiring Myself

July 18th, 2007 - Sometimes, I sit in front of the mirror and talk to myself and admire myself. Its almost like I think that I am talking to someone else. I dont think I figured out its really me.

I love Junk Mail

July 17th, 2007 -  Most people in America get a ton of junk mail in their letterboxes, not to talk about junk email in their inboxes. My father would get frustrated with it but now he has found a new need for it. He gives it to me and I can spend a lot of time tearing it up. I love the tearning the paper, making a mess in the living room. I shred the paper into small pieces and put it into boxes, try to stuff it into the cupboard. Eventually my mother gets tired of the mess and takes it all away and throws it. I love junk mail

New Fisher Price High Chair

July 16th, 2007 -  My parents got me a new high chair as a gift for turning 17. I had outgrown my baby booster seat and it was time to get a new high chair. After researching for a long time and going to different stores, they selected a Fisher Price adjustable high chair for me.  My father decided to assemble it on Sunday morning and I "volunteered" to help.  My father took all the pieces of out of the box and that was heaven for me. I was running around dragging the pieces across the room. My father began assembling the pieces and I became his able assistant.

It took my father about 45 minutes to assemble the chair and I sat in it. At first I did not like it and wanted to be taken out of it. I started playing with the toys that come with the chair and then the chair did not seem that bad.
