[...] To me, it was almost like a personal “thank you” for not disturbing his privacy when I was stalking him that sunny Saturday morning last year. [...]

Never would have approached. Ever.
Partially for his privacy’s sake and partially for the whole mystique factor.
FWIW I don’t have a drop of Canadian in me.

I would have done exactly the same thing. And maybe it’s better you didn’t. Better to have a romantic idea of a hermit King writing his next classic inside than to have him open the door, wearing spongebob pajamas and eating a bowl of Count Chocula.

I would never ring his doorbell! How intrusive…. I’m not that type of person. Imagine if every fan he had did that? Poor Stephen King! Plus, what if something “Stephen King-ish” happened when I got to his front door? Spooky!
I get really shy and nerveous around celebs, too. Once in D.C. we bumped into Clint Eastwood and Rene Ruso, who were filming In The Line Of Fire, and my sister and mom walked a couple of blocks with them, chatting it up, getting autographs, etc… meanwhile, I was on the other side of the street, walking alone!

As much as I love SK, and as much as I would have loved to meet him, I just don’t feel comfortable venturing onto people’s property uninvited, celebrity or not. Hell, I won’t even approach a celebrity I see out in public. It just feels weird to me.
Plus, it makes me crazy when people knock on my front door unannounced and I wouldn’t want to be thought of the same way – as a pest!
Now how exactly can we go about getting INVITED to his house? THAT is the question….

I’m also too Canadian to have gone up. Besides, the reality probably couldn’t live up to the mystique of imagining. It’s too cool that you got that close, though. I thought there would be a squee or two but maybe you were too awe struck?

I would have done the same as you Dani. I would have never intruded or rang the bell and that you didn’t Shows me YOU a TRUE CANADIAN Through and Through. Not something we do.
But I’m glad you got to see his home and be THIS CLose to him.
