Why can’t we be friends?

You know who that is, don’t you? That fabulous and obviously fun girl is Emma Watson, the actress who plays Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies. (Apparently she was also in The Tale of Despereaux which I haven’t seen.) We don’t just love her because she’s talented, or because she’s British. Or even because she loves fashion! We love her because in her interviews, she entertains me and seems like a nice person. But mostly we love her because she is of a group of rising superstars in *my* age group — a group of people who remind me that my dreams of fame are not in vain and are not stupid. People my age do this stuff all the time.

I’ve just found out though, that she goes to Brown University in Providence. And I happen to have unexpectedly found myself living back in the Providence area?
Coincidence? I think not! (Or maybe I just hope not….) So when Brown starts up again, I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for her and hopefully I’ll make a new friend who is someone who not only has a job I desperately want but who I also admire greatly.
