About me:
I'm an extroverted introvert who occasionally likes to kick back alone at home and sometimes likes to go out and party. I love to read and to write fiction. I like listening to ideas and expressing my own. I value friendship and place a high premium on being a good friend. I'm a socially liberal economic conservative or an economically liberal social anarchist, depending on my mood in a given day..."Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes." - Walt Whitman

Write to the Walk of Fame Committee a polite letter in your own words, why you think Walter should have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. These NEED to be letters from each individual fan in the fan's own words. Not copies, Not form letters, Not chain letters.

"I met Andrew when we were in high school together, at the Indiana Academy - better known by most as 'that school for smart kids.' Everyone here who didn't meet Andrew through that school for smart kids probably met him through Mensa, the genius club. Or you met him at work, where he makes up tests to figure out how smart everyone else is. My point is this - he's a bright guy. So I consider it my honor and my privelege to be here today, at the site of the Smartest Thing He's Ever Done. Andrew and Amber, you make a beautiful couple. I love you, I envy you, and I congratulate you. Cheers."
And then everyone would clap and drink and cry.
Later, I would get drunk and puke on your mom.
