| Introduction | I'm back in school (similar to Jerri Blank) to finish my degree at CMU here in the abyssal Pitt (dissimilar to Jerri Blank). I also like to throw memes around haphazardly and see where they land. I'm currently schoolgirl crushing over Bright Light Bright Light. It's gotten to the point where I've erected a small shrine to him out of a shoebox, shiny giftwrap, and Lisa Frank stickers. |

You've written a hit musical! How will you avoid having fame go to your head?
That's easy. Fame is a business (much like everything else in contemporary society), and it should be handled as such. The deterioration of one's fame seems to occur when a celebrity starts believing their own hype. It's a downward spiral into scandal rags from there.
