Oh no, this guy really exists. I spoke to Aria about this whole situation-- and yes she remembers him from previous conventions, but no she has nothing to do with the Aria Giovanni email address he posted. She also knew nothing about his horseback riding "accident" (which sounds suspiciously a lot like my mom's, who BTW fell off ANOTHER one of her horses today-- nothing serious, just a bruised hand). He of course thanked Aria for his recovery, as if she actually visited him in the emergency room. Funny thing, when he approached my mom at the nursery, he told her he was very good friends with Aria and I. My mom came home and told me that she met one of my "very good friends" and seemed a bit confused as to why I would be so close with such a guy. Though it took my awhile to figure out who the hell she was talking about, when I finally figured it out I almost died laughing thinking that this guy actually thinks he's a GOOD FRIEND of mine. Does speaking to some stranger at a convention for about 2 minutes constitute him as a close friend? If so, thankfully I'm not famous, because I'd have tons of "close friends" that I wasn't aware of.

All in all, that pic of him taking a naked shot of himself with his cell phone is classic. Can we start a thread here with best pics of 2005? That has got to be the first one up.
