Please Don't Bring It Up...

I'm always surprised by how many people comment on my celebrity picture stuff. Not on Facebook per se, but in person. It's funny - I upload all my pics to share, but they're really not commented on or "liked" as much as I thought they might be....which is fine, but it made me think maybe people weren't paying attention or didn't really care. So, it was surprising to go to my high school reunion and have the main topic of every single person there be my celeb pics. Don't get me wrong, obviously I love my collection and have a lot of fun with it. But, there are times when I'd really rather talk about anything else.
Take yesterday, for example. I attended the funeral for my dear friend's mom and happened to run into a few girls from high school. As I saw them across the way, all I could think to myself was, "Please don't bring up the pictures, please don't bring up the pictures, please don't bring up the pictures." It's not that I don't want to talk about them, but a funeral felt like the wrong place to do so. Sure enough, the first thing out of their mouths were the pictures. Yikes. How do I casually walk away from that topic of conversation?
