fangsHow I met Joss, Nathan and NPH.
So my dear friend Quinn called me after the 10:30 showing of Doctor Horrible's Sing Along Blog and told us he just followed the cast to the Mariot. At first I was iffy.. I was picturing him being like, 20 mins away from them and just staring at them from a far. So about 5 "Are you sure..." calls to him later, Cody and I decided to go check it out.
And when we arrived, HE WAS RIGHT THERE! ALL OF THEM! Joss, Nathan, NPH, "Penny", the Whedon Brothers, Fangirl #1... I was like "ZOMG!"
So, when it comes to stars, I normally just leave them alone and try not to bother them.. but this was different. MY HERO was standing no less than 10 feet from me, and I refused to walk away with out at least a picture. So Cody and I hung around the bar for an hour and a half just waiting for the perfect time for me to pounce him for an autograph. Finally, a couple near us heard me talking and the wife turned to me and said "Are you a fan of them?" ANd I was like "Yeah. *giggle*" and she asked if I wanted a picture with Joss, in which I replied with a very enthusiastic "YES!!!... and possibly Nathan..." and she was like "Okay! COOL! My husband an agent for two of them. They're all really nice, here let me introduce you!" And then she was all "JOSS! Hey Joss! This lovely lady here wants to meet you!" and he came over and I was in total and complete AWE. He came over, chatted for a bit, let me take a picture, I told him he was my hero, he said I was his heroin and then he got distracted by something pretty and walked off. So I continued to mingle and chat for about 20 more mins when we FINALLY got Nathan over to pose with me. It was funny b/c after the picture he was all "I didn't know there was a 2nd flash, I'm very ostentatious, I need to make sure it turned out okay!" *checks picture* "Ohhh that's a good one! okay cool!"
ANd then some dude did a lot of magic tricks that impressed NPH more than it should, but that's okay. NPH was standing with his back to me and my friend Tosh and I kept playing like we were gonna pinch his ass (I *so* WANTED TO! It was beautiful), so instead, I tapped his shoulder and he turned around and chatted us for a bit. Then we took pictures and I said
"THIS IS SO GOING IN MY BLOG!" lol.
And then he took off and Joss staggered over again to chat us up some more. He was QUITE drunk but it's okay. It's such a blur I don't really remember what all was said.. I remember saying something like "Joss! You're a killer! WHY DO YOU KILL EVERYONE?" in which he smirked at me, raised one eye brow and replied (in a defensive, winy tone) "I don't kill EVERYONE! .. *insert evil Joss grin* .. but it is fun!!"
And then we proceeded to discuss how hung over he would be @ the Dollhouse panel the next day, and then some other stuff that was a bit blurry.. and then someone handed him a glass of wine, he got distracted and said he had to go say goodbye to someone. Gave us all hugs and left.
BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE.
---John Barrowman waved @ me during his interview about his book.
My friend and I were in the WAY WAY back for his interview (the Wed before Comic Con), but if I shifted the right way, I could see him. So I did, and our eyes met. I stood on my tippy toes and lifted my head, John lifted his a bit more and he smiled. I waved and he waved back. omg my heart warmed so much. Later I met him for an autograph and he was awesome.
Sadly, my Gareth encounter was much less AWESOME. His peeps were being SO LAME and they would only let you get your things signed and then you had to move on. So while he was signing my stuffs I said *i love you.* and then he grinned funnily and said thanks. and then like the bumbling idiot I am I said "you're my favorite. you're the best part of torchwood. i love your one liners, you're hilarious"
and he just laughed and said "thanks" and then I moved on. At least I got to meet him though.
-Also, please don't hate me TOO much. I really don't wanna feel like I'm bragging. I don't want you guys to think that at all! I just need to write this out before it gets even more blurry in my head.-
In about 12 hours, I'll be on my plain to the UK! WOOO!

Date: 2008-07-28 08:56 am (UTC)Well he WAS really nice and smiley when he said all of his two words to me, but yeah, it was totally his people's fault!!

Date: 2008-07-28 06:02 am (UTC)God.. I wish I had been there *kicks self for moving to the mid-eat*. Sounds like it was awesome! And in this special case it is totaally cool to boast, we're happy for you! And sad we wasn't there.. but we don't fret! <33333 (Clearly there is a reason I am saying "we" instead of "me"... right? >.> <.< <.> >.<)

Date: 2008-07-28 08:58 am (UTC):D I ALMOST didn't go to the bar when my friend said they were there. I would have totally been kicking myself if I didn't go.
I was just so happy that they were all really sweet and really cool! <3

Date: 2008-07-28 06:38 am (UTC)So, yeah. I'm incredibly jealous. :P
And I really hate that I missed out on meeting Nathan (and Nicholas Brendon) back in January. I didn't have the kind of money I like to have when attending conventions so I opted out even though I totally could have gone. UGH.

But still... OHMIGODOHMIGODOHMIGOD!!!!!!!!!!! This is even much better than I thought. Holy frak!!!!!!!! Nathan checked the picture, AWWW!!
Seriously, how did you do that? Not one word would leave my mouth and then I'd tremble to death *lmao*
Hahaha, calling Joss a killer. You win!
John Barrowman is such a sweetheart ♥
And Gareth could have at least said more than one word... twice. Really.
And oh, I forgot:
Tosh and I kept playing like we were gonna pinch his ass (I *so* WANTED TO! It was beautiful), so instead, I tapped his shoulder
HUEW/ยง)!=UJLSIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you take pictures of his ass? ;D
Have a good flight!

AS SOON as the words left my mouth I was ready to kick myself, but then he was all goofy and laid back about it and so then I was okay with it. hahaha.
Seriously, how did you do that? Not one word would leave my mouth and then I'd tremble to death *lmao*
I think Nathan was the one I spoke to the least. Only because his amazingness totally intimidated me. Joss was drunk off his hiney so I was okay chatting him up, but with Nathan whenever he'd look at me or say something, or i'd say something (so, basically the whole time I was in his presence) the only thing I could think was *MALMALMALMALMALCAPTAIN-TIGHT-PANTS-MALMALMALzomgMAL!* hahaha
DUDE! I SO SHOULD HAVE! but that would have been awkward if he caught me doing that. lol!!
Thanks love! <3

Date: 2008-07-28 09:06 am (UTC)So sad that the people who don't understand Joss' greatness do no understand the honor that comes with being thought of near him! :)
Srsly, he is like a God. And having met him it just feels UNREAL. Like, i've always thought of him as being untouchable - and to be near him is just an impossible feat unless you're Angel, Buffy, Spike, Faith or anyone else in Jossverse.
omg and I totally forgot!!! When we were taking the picture, I was like "OMG I can't wait to show my friends!!!" and he was like "YAY! And I can look like a creepy pedophile!" hahaha!
