I cried a bit.  I’m just really happy that JD passed his genes on to a new person who is now going to exist in the world. Also Roman is a cool name but I wasn’t expecting any less.

"I don’t know if you can be friends with people you admire that much. Or even that you’re supposed to be friends with those people. I think that you’re supposed to admire them. There’s a purpose to having people in your life who you admire who you don’t hang out with. There’s a purpose to looking up to someone."

John Green

Talking about his hero worship of John Darnielle (8/6/2011 livestream) 

(via nerdfightersdontfightnerds)

You are my favorite person on the planet right now.  This is the quote.  I will be writing a blog entry about it shortly.

(via runalovegood)

I admire John Green so much but I don’t agree with this.  Completely out of context (and I didn’t see the live show) it sounds like he’s reversed his position on ‘what a treacherous thing it is to believe a person is more than a person’.  Obviously you can’t hang out with all the people.  But to keep a separate category of human being that you just revere from afar?  That’s dangerous and a bad thing to teach.  Sure, you can look up to someone, but you have to remember that the someone is a person and sleeps and shits and is as equally clueless about the world as you are, and why wouldn’t you hang out with them?

(via sparklenight)

I really don’t think he’s saying they’re a separate category of human beings.  I think he’s saying that, yes, they are human beings, but they have boundaries to how much they can interact with people.  Like, I’m sure John would love to talk to all his fans, but he literally can’t anymore.  So as long as you realize that, yes, he is a normal person with normal person emotions and flaws, it’s okay to look up to him, realizing that it’s admiration rather than a two-way friendship.  

(via runalovegood)

I guess the whole thing about it being impossible to be friends with all your fans is a good point.  But in the case of John Green and John Darnielle, they’re two very talented people who happened to cross paths. To be friends wouldn’t be inappropriate.  JG’s talking from the point of being a fan rather than being friends with his fans and I really don’t believe in the boundary.  It’s just strange to me when I think about non-famous people I’ve met because I was initially drawn to something they’ve made or written - I wouldn’t have not become friends with them because I only really think of them as vessels that produce wonderful things.  Is fame or popularity the things that stops you becoming friends with someone?  Where is the line?
