Today's Thoughts on Autographs

Hey Guys,

Obviously, I have not posted any updates because I have not gotten any responses, yet.  The requests only went out a few days ago, maybe a week at this time.  The ones to the agents and agencies will take a month or two at the earliest... and the ones to the personal addresses may just never come back.

I don't know how to feel or what to think about what I did.  I sent letters and items to be sent to the home addresses of three currently very popular people.

What are the odds of getting a response from them?

Here are my thoughts.

Suzanne Collins: 10-1 Odds of getting my book signed.  I have seen her sign one that was sent to her house. I let her know the book I sent was a birthday gift.  I don't expect much besides the standard Hunger Games quote and her autograph.

Josh Hutcherson: 3-1 Odds of getting my photograph signed.  Josh seems to really enjoy his fans.  He's young and popular, and really a decent guy.  An autograph dealer has even recently gone on record saying that he caught Josh at the airport, and he signed all 30 photographs he was carrying.  That is a bit extreme to ask him to do, but he did it. Still makes me uneasy that I sent to his address, but it isn't like I am showing up there, I live across the country, and frankly, if he doesn't want to sign... he can just RTS it or throw it in the trash bin.  I feel relatively confident he will sign the one photograph I sent him.

Jennifer Lawrence:  The odds are just not in my favor.  I'd give it 100-1 odds.  Miss Lawrence has some really odd habits.  She has an official fan mail address that is in Kentucky.  She lives in California.  Someone in Kentucky signs her name to photos, and those signatures look nothing like what anyone has seen from her in person.  Clearly, she or her agents expect people to not realize they are getting fakes.  Does she care about her fans?  Hard to say.  People have written to her Via Venue, the set of Serena is a good example.  Some people have received authentic autographs from her via that set, but a larger number of people received secretarial signatures from the set instead.  How odd.

          She has been seen helping a passed out girl on the lawn at her condo.  What a really nice thing to do, not everyone would do that, celebrity status or not.  She's got a heart.  She appears to sometimes taking an extra moment or two to give paparazzi a nice photo of her.  But other times, like most stars, she just tries to go about her daily life trying to be like everyone else.

Here are the photos recently taken of here where she appears have to paused to give someone a nice shot:

Really nice of her isnt it?  I really think she is a gem.

          Even if she doesn't sign my autograph, I can forgive her for that.  I did send to her house, and after this week, she might be a little overloaded with people/items showing up where she lives.  Even if the drunk teenager is just a coincidence, and was not looking for JLaw.

Do I feel bad about sending to their homes?  I do, incredibly bad, actually.  I invaded their small bits of privacy.  Their sanctuaries.  And I don't believe I would do it again.  I really hope these three lovely people accept my apology as I wrote it in my letters to them.

We'll see, as time will tell!

What do you think about these three celebrities?  Is Josh as nice as he seems?  Is Jennifer already too big for her fans that don't catch her in person at official functions?  Or is she just trying to please as many fans as possible by having someone else help her with all her autograph requests through the mail?  I'd love to read your comments!
