I adore Stephen Fry. Absolutely. Adore. Him.
One of the highlights of my life is when I ran into him in Oxford. Literally. Little Res was young and innocent(-ish) in those days, a perky and pesky 19-year old thing pretending to be a grown-up and having champagne cocktails at Oxford Uni student union. Très cool. Except that I was there celebrating having placed very respectably in Oxford's inter-varsity debating competition. Suddenly much less cool. Of course, nerd is the new chic, so whatever...
Anyways, there I was, champagne in hand and just bubbling over with sparkling, intellectual banter when the clumsy chubby girl inside of me performed an intricate and altogether graceless manoeuver which caused me to smack straight into a tall, large man's belly.
The belly of Mr. Stephen Fry himself.
While I don't recall being able to mutter anything more witty than "Oh", I truly feel that we created a strong personal bond that day. In fact, if Stephen was into short French chicks with American accents, he would clearly fall madly in love with me, propose and father all 12 of my impossibly clever children.
Which is why I'm VERY upset that no one told me that Stephen Fry has a blog...
So here it is. Enjoy. And tell Stephen I say hi.

Not that I doubt your (indubitably limitless) seduction powers and indisputable (short French chick with American accent) charm, but isn't good ol' Stephen, in the immortal words of Monty Python, a bit of a poof?
