(no subject)

If anyone hears about Wentworth Miller (from Prison Break) disappearing suddenly, I can probably give an explanation, given the story I heard today from someone at work about her crazy cousin who is obsessed with him to the point of utter loonyness.

Not only is N's cousin completely smitten with the man in question - can't see it myself, but there you go - she is convinced that he is communicating with her both via Facebook and also by phoning her in the middle of the night. On one occasion when he was supposed to have done this, N checked her cousin's phone and not only had Wentworth not called this 30-something Zimbabwean woman living in London (no surprises there), nobody had. N asked to speak with him next time he called only to be told "he's shy". Apparently the obsession all began when the cousin wrote off for a signed photograph and then became convinced that, because she got one back, she and Wentworth were meant to be...

It's one of those stories which is both funny and sad at the same time. Clearly this woman is unwell, to say the least, but at the moment anyway it's not affecting her life directly - her family just tolerate her oddness and the people where she works apparently love her to bits. The worst thing about it is that she's been ripped off to the tune of £400 or so for 'an audition dvd' which she has apparently sent to the makers of Prison Break since Wentworth told her there was a part they were casting for the show for which she'd be perfect.

I did suggest, however, that the family might want to look into getting hold of the cousin's passport somehow, in case she suddenly gets it into her head that Wentworth has asked her to run off and get married in Vegas or something.
