I was once about six feet from Ben Browder and Gigi Edgely and Francesca Bueller, in a small room (green room at a con). I did my damnedest to pretend I didn't see them at all, and was very grateful at the time to have long hair that I could hide behind.
I just... I don't want to impose, even when they're in public doing the publicity thing. So I usually pretend I don't see celebrities.
Although it's hard not to gawk when you take a ticket from Joe Spano at the theater door, and spend the next five minutes going, "Was that who I think it was?"
'Suela is me.
But of course, they're over there in the other corner going, "What is she, blind? Doesn't she know who I am? Do I need makeup and lighting and stuff? Am I losing my looks? Does nobody CARE?"
So you know, there's no right way. I still remember the story you told about this guy watching some 'scapers filming an "I'm Farscape" commercial for Save Farscape. One of them noticed him and thought he resembled Ben. Turned out it was Ben, who came over, said hi, and thanks. Love that story.
Well, that's BB for you. Such an excellent human being.
We should clone him.
Where does the line form for copies?

Is there someone who would be willing to do a very quick and dirty... well, not beta, but more of a major check for plot holes and poor characterization on a long, not quite finished piece? It's due tomorrow evening, and I'm frantically trying to finish up. I figure I have one more chance to catch any serious problems before embarrassing myself in front of fandom at large.
Sure, Anne-- send it my way.

Oh, Epic, you poor wee scone! Well, and lucky wee scone also, but, yes, I totally understand.
Much as I love the "no,seriously, I'm not in middle school, just reduced to acting that way" solidarity, I may love even more that Fay called me a baked good. I love nicknames, and am A Dork. As mentioned previously.
We should clone him.
I'm soooo in.
Oh, and did I mention that I also spoke to Joss at this Con? And He Answered Me!!!1!!!11?
I was standing in the hall with a couple friends after we saw Dr. Horrible (one of the overflow rooms, we couldn't get into the Main Event - they never fail to underestimate Joss and the crowds he will draw and put him in insufficient rooms), and I look at a small crowd behind us to see the cast of "The Guild", and say to my friends, "Hey, the cast of 'The Guild'. Cool." Then my eyes pan left and spot NF, and I go, "Oh Holee Crap, it's Nathan! We need to move closer to them. I don't need to speak to anyone or get a picture or autograph, but we need to be closer to them." But as we're preparing to move closer, the crowd shifts toward us, which is when I notice that Joss is heading up this crowd. As he passed I knew I had to Say Something, so I managed a semi-casual "We worship you, Joss!" To which he replied, "Good. Keep it up!"
Unfortunately, as the Joss Incident was Friday night and the Jensen Affaire was Sunday afternoon - I apparently get lamer with age rather than more mature.
But I'm still burble-y anyway!
