How can I get Augusten Burroughs to like me?

Augusten Burroughs has written such New York Times bestsellers such as Running With Scissors and Dry. There seems to be many ways to communicate with him, either by emailing him or sending him Twitter messages. I have read EVERYTHING he has ever written (mostly stories about his life, he usually only writes memoirs with the exception of his first book), along with the book his brother wrote, to the point where I feel like I know him. I don’t know what to say to him, I feel like if I said I felt like I already knew him, he would have gotten the same message many times before. What would be a good way to approach a New York Times best selling author? I want to stand out, grab his eye, and also appear friendly and not obsessed. I would like to become internet, perhaps email friends with him. Is there a way to do this, where I could be myself, but draw him in in a way? I do not want to be fake or manipulative.
