Lanai's First Time

Okay, you wanna know how I fell in
love with Jon? Sigh . . . I have my friend Seth to thank for that. When I came
home from school this summer, he suggested that I watch something called "The
Daily Show With Jon Stewart." He thought it was a show I'd enjoy. He had no
idea . . . . I don't recall the first episode I saw, but they're all beautiful
because Jon's in them! I was instantly struck by how hot he is and how he made
me laugh; I was smitten. His delivery is amazing; the way he handles interviews
(the Spice Girls come to mind) is incredible. I watched the show every night
after that first night, and I looked forward to seeing all his different facial
expressions, the interviews, and so on. Basically, I just loved seeing him.
I began to search the Internet for
info, Jon groups, etc. Then I came here! Through Annie, the JSEB, the SSS, and
other Jon sites, I have found out so much wonderful information. He's a real
talent. It almost broke my heart when I found out that that he was married,
but then I thought, "Well, it's a good thing for him." (Why doesn't he have
kids yet?!) I recently bought his "Naked Pictures of Famous People" which was
hilarious! I loved it and I wish he'd write another book. I also wish I could
meet him and attend a Daily Show taping, but I'm all the way in California and
I won't be eighteen for a year. Damn that age rule! Actually, my 17th birthday
was on Sunday, January 14th, and it would be a total dream to meet him. I still
can't believe I didn't immediately recognize him when I saw Big Daddy, but then
again, I wasn't yet hip to his coolness.
Since I'm finishing my senior year
of high school away from home, I don't see TDS and Jon very often. But I subscribe
to the TDS Newsletter and visit comedycentral.com quite a bit. When I go home
on visits, I make sure to watch him. So, in a nutshell, this is what I love
about Jon: everything. It's even better now that he's gone two months without
smoking! I'm glad you all feel the way I do. Thanks for everything, and take
care.
