Being Stalked by a Famous Person

Sophmore Year

Senior Year

I remember when I was in high school the show Popular was on the air. Classmates would come up to me and say, "Hey there's a girl with almost your name on the show Popular." I would of course ask what her name was and they would say Lily Esposito. My maiden name is Lilia Esposito, not that common of name. I thought it was weird because if my name were Jane Smith it wouldn't be surprising if someone had a similar name to me on a t.v. show. I never watched the show and kind of forgot about it.

Fast forward to 10 years later and the show Glee aired. I started watching it and heard that the creator of Glee was Ryan Murphy. My husband found that hysterical because his brother's name is Ryan Murphy. Every time the subject of Glee comes up my husband is always telling people, "My brother is the creator of that show, ha ha ha!" To him the joke never gets old.

Obviously the show Glee is popular and you start learning more about the creator of Glee. I've seen him interviewed on t.v. and I watch Glee. It wasn't until his kid was born that I realized that somehow Ryan Murphy is stalking me.

I woke up one morning and I read an article that stated that Ryan Murphy's son was born. As I was reading the article I noticed that he had named his son Logan Phineas Miller Murphy! Um, my son's name is Logan Murphy! What the hell Ryan Murphy!!! I mean clearly there are other Logan Murphy's in the world because Murphy is a very common last name. Logan is also becoming a very popular first name.

Now here's the final piece to make me realize that Ryan Murphy is indeed my celebrity stalker. The day that I read the article about Ryan Murphy's son it reminded me about the show Popular. I started wondering who the creator of the show was because I wanted to see if there was a reason for the Lily Esposito name. I was shocked to see that Ryan Murphy was one of the creators of Popular!!! So what's the deal Ryan Murphy why are you obsessed with me??

Obviously, I don't think Ryan Murphy is stalking me, we have never lived in the same states or have ever crossed paths. I just find the parallel names thing a funny coincidence. The Lily Esposito thing is funny because Lily or Lilia Esposito are not common names. I'm just wondering how that name came about in the drawing room. The Logan Murphys thing is not surprising because I think with the popularity of Logan rising there will be more Logan Murphys out there. I do hope that one day I can meet Ryan Murphy and ask him why he's obsessed with me ;)

A Modest Proposal

When you're pregnant your emotions are on a crazy tilt-a-whirl. Right now I'm feeling a lot of hatred.

I think they should have a 9 month (free) farm that pregnant women go to. They can bring their other children and have 24 hour daycare. Husbands are only allowed to visit, but can't sleep over. Then you give birth and stay for a year. After that year you return to your normal life.

The pregnant women can make arts and crafts that they sell at Michaels, Home Goods, Hobby Lobby etc. So it's kinds like slave labor, but relaxing. We can do jobs that aren't too stressful emotionally or physically. I was thinking some type of call center job, but too many stupid people call call centers.

Or we could do some kind of instant messaging tech support. We don't have to talk to anyone just type. We could keep those jobs in America and technically it would be cheaper than outsourcing it to India or wherever. The companies don't have to pay a salary just maintain a nice living environment for pregnant women and their other kids.

Plus it would be awesome because women are always getting pregnant so it's not like the workforce would die down. It's also not a concentration camp because you have the choice of going there and leaving anytime you want.

It would keep pregnant women away from general population since it's not like they're wanted there anyway. The benefits for Non-Pregos:
- The random courtesy parking spaces for pregnant people will no longer exist. Even though those rarely exist anyway.
- You won't have to worry about covering for that lazy pregnant person on maternity leave because she ain't going to be there anyway.
-People won't have to deal with hormonal pregnant women anymore. Eww emotions.
-That tired pregnant woman running around with a screaming toddler won't be there to annoy you at Starbucks, the grocery store, the DMV, basically anywhere.
- The divorce rate would most likely go down.
- It will cut down on the chance of seeing gross displays of public breastfeeding.
- Strollers on sidewalks will not be as frequent.

There are so many positive things that pregos and non-pregos would gain from this. I could make this list go on for days. Who wants to help me bring this to the attention of our federal government???
