My record of meeting famous people is not so great, between the crying over people post-Katrina, the making an ass out of myself with Nathan Fillion, and the general dumbstruckedness I got when I saw Armin Shimmerman from a distance.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

I can't meet people I'm fannish about in person.
I'm fine with it most of the time. I can chat, mention how much I like their work, and wait until they are out of earshot to clap and bark like a seal.
But when there's an actor or a writer who is both breathtakingly attractive and their brains and personality are all that and a bag of chips?
Yeah, um.

FWIW, I did get to do a long phone interview with Armin Shimerman once, and he was about as wonderful as you could want. Had it been an in-person interview I doubt I could have been coherent, though I'm much braver and self-confident now. (And also on drugs.)

What is even happening?
I love that you were stricken dumb by Snyder at a distance.
It looks like there's a Eureka mini-marathon on SciFi tonight, for those who are still getting with the program....
I made the mistake of referring to Colin as 'handsome' a while back, when talking to my husband about Eureka. I'm still getting mocked for it -- most recently last night, when we saw all the Eureka episodes on our TiVo guide.

Hee. It was less Snyder and more "Quark! And he was on Beauty and the Beast! And that Invisible Man episode! And and and!"

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Well, Colin IS handsome. You can't be blamed for simply stating the truth, Cindy!
Loved The Invisible Man. Why is that not out on DVD?
I can usually handle meeting famous/attractive people when I'm slightly drunk. Just slightly, mind you. Because then I can relax about it and hand them a beer or whatever.
It must be awkward for them, too; I mean, here I know all about them (sorta) and they know nothing about me. And I've noticed that the actors/actresses I'm really attracted to physically don't really think they're all that, so that's gotta be a little strange for them too. Witness Paul Blackthorne's recent response to my "why aren't you shirtless more often" question. Poor man.

It was pretty funny. I had to lead her away by the arm.

Witness Paul Blackthorne's recent response to my "why aren't you shirtless more often" question.
"It would do no one any favors to take pictures of me with no shirt." So. cute.
I must admit, I did go looking for pictures then. But I was distracted by showing provocateuse to my friend K and didn't finish searching. Um.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Colin's up in BC right now, presumable shooting.
Woo-hoo!
Sci-Fi really should set up their series rotations so that at least Eureka, BSG, Dresden or Who is on the air any given week so I always have something to look forward to.
Because it's all about me.

Having successfully passed the Christian Kane and Todd Babcock tests, I don't think Ben could dazzle me into incoherence on the strength of hotness alone. The having written Farscape episodes and attending a convention in a bunny suit might do the trick, though.
