I think they are busy tossing things to like hassle with me, like, "Oh, what if no one famous gave you any attention."  And so what about this, "What if I got attention.  Ha ha ha ha."  You could just in the end not really pay any attention to me, and I'd deal with it.  What if I said I'd prefer one person over another now but maybe later "get back in the game with other people being a fan?"
