popup concerts and perfection

So I just finished watching a bunch of videos of Jamie's popup shows on youtube, and I'm in SUCH a good mood.
I didn't realize he was such a great person! I mean, I knew he was cool, and funny, and down-to-earth, and that he can sing, amazingly, and play the guitar...

But he's AMAZING. He just has such a great personality. I hope, for his sake and ours (his fans) that he never gets TOOOOO famous. Because that way he can keep doing popup concerts and being down-to-earth and funny and actually keep having conversations in the middle of his concerts and doing random great things.

Ah. Jamie makes me happy.

Did I mention I MET HIM?

He had a popup concert here in NY, in Union Square, on May 3rd. And I met him. And he signed my book. My copy of City of Bones. Like, he knows I exist. And he spoke to me. After he had driven off in the car and I went and knocked on the window. He rolled down the window for me. And spoke to me. And signed my book.

*fangirling much?*

I still have the pen he wrote with.

*yeah*

Now, after watching the videos of the concerts, I see that that's the type of person he is. He wouldn't NOT have rolled down the window. He's just that nice of a person. And that humble.

It's still awesome.

I'm just always inspired by him. Because he's so creative, and such a nice person besides.

I want to be like that one day. To be well known enough that people enjoy my work, but not toooooo well known so that I can't walk down a street anonymously. Not for the sake of me being famous, so much as to know that people have fallen in love with the characters I've created. That's what I want. To create an alternate world for people to live in and love in and never want to leave.

My role models are Cassandra Clare, Oscar Wilde and Suzanne Collins. If I could combine all three of them and then add a dash of myself...

Perfection.
