I do sometimes feel embarrassed, only because I'm at the age where I'm in school and people tend to be more critical of what you do. I love doing it though!

An autograph in the post really does make my day! I'm a little embarrassed as I have only just started collecting so I don't have many to show for it.
It is always the same lady in the Post Office too, and I do get a few strange looks when I ask for books of first class stamps, or buy envelopes!

I thought that was what people do at a Post Office!?
My sister thought I was a freak at first, but was used to me being 'weird' and writing to people anyway, I guess she only thought that it would never happen because when I received Philip Glenister's autograph in the post she was so excited!
My Mum has been great as she can't beleive that you can do all this through the mail and via venues and emails! She again was more excited than me!
Autograph collecting is something that I have discovered that I enjoy doing, there is no way that I am going to stop because of others criticizing me. I do find it hard to write the LOR without sounding obsessive or stalker - like! I must be doing something right if I have been lucky to get some replies back!
