kddani-

if your friend is living the hollywood scene--that's ALL he has to talk about. he is probably not intentionally name dropping and hasn't been here long enough to know discretion is valued above all else. i've been in the industry for 8 years, mr amycat is an actor -- as is his sister, two of my best friends are married to well known celebs, an actress who is garnering oscar buzz this year is a friend of mine-- so to someone who is not here, not in the industry, my normal convo about what i've been doing and who i've been hanging out with could sound like name dropping, when all it is is my friends and who i meet thru my friends.

and if he is out doing the club/party scene--he IS meeting a lot of people. on any given night at the standard its a who's who of young hollywood.

for instance- i shared a bathroom w britney spears tuesday night. normally, i'd tell a handful of friends this and no one else, so that it doesn't appear that i am name dropping, but someone new in town and less experienced in the etiquette, would be telling everyone. and why not? it IS kinda fun and surreal when stuff like that is happening to you for the first time.

it could also be that he sees you as someone he can be super excited about all of this too, whereas out here, he has a facade of cool or something but w you he can let that down.

hope that helps to put it in persepective.
