bee_yorkI was sooo fucking dead at work all day Wednesday thanks to the Emerson fiasco. Was it worth it? Yes. I guess. I really easily could have just Youtubed it. Eh, whatever. LOST.
I woke up at around 4:30 this morning then fell back asleep and dreamt that I meant Jorge Garcia. He was really nice, and when I got home I remember writing "OMG YOU GUYS I MET JORGE GARCIA! (L)(L)(L)" as my MSN status. I was really upset when my alarm went off and I woke up and realized it was just a dream!
I was so disappointed.
Then I remembered that I've spent time alone with Neil Patrick Harris in REAL life, I can already die happy anyway, so WHATEVER, BRAIN. :P
The fact it was Jorge in my dream is probably because Mike's co-worker met him when she was in Rome. She asked if he would take a picture with her and he was apparently kind of "eh..." about it & asked if they could do it far from the sidewalk so no one else would see. That's cool that he took a picture with her anyway! I'd hate to meet someone from Lost and have them be an asshole or something, or just have bad timing and run into them on when they're in a bad mood. If it was anyone else I wouldn't care really, but Lost is too important to me. I've been really, really, REALLY lucky with meeting celebrities though and have met pretty much all my all-time faves, and most of them just by sheer fucking coincidence, so maybe I'll get to run into one of the Losties one day after all? How cool would that be? Or maybe someone from BSG. Omg, imagine?!
What celebrities have you met and who would you like to meet? I've met George Clooney (sooo nice!), Conan 'O Brien (so nice and PATIENT AS HELL), Seth Green (SO DAMN SWEET, OMG), Seth MacFarlane (Mike said he was kinda cold to me but if he was, I was too star-struck to notice! lol), Alex Bornstein (AWESOME and super-duper friendly), and of course NPH (we all know THAT story, lol), and a shitload of comedians who I lost track of. Also: do Aziz Ansari and Kate Micucci count? How about Sum41? (Sum41 were so funny and friendly and fun! They all signed my arm and I didn't wash it for a week, hahaha it was awesome.)
I didn't know who Kate Micucci was until after I worked with her, and if she does count then scratch "met" and replace with "chatted with her every single night before her show and drew pictures for her". Hahaha. She's such a sweet person!

Date: 2010-02-18 11:10 pm (UTC)When I was in my early 20s, I was propositioned by David Prowse and did not go over to the dark side. I still feel that was the wrong decision. Not everyone gets the chance to sleep with Vader. It would have made a better story.
I apparently got very drunk with Gene Roddenberry's son. I didn't know who he was and wouldn't recognize him on the street.
I used to be served beer regularly by Jacob Two-Two.
And once The Boy was accidentally babysat by Amber Benson. That one's pretty cool. She's a darling, and very very patient with her fans. The Boy didn't really care who she was and flirted shamelessly. I think he was five.
While the whole celebrity thing doesn't really faze me, I'd probably die twice over if I met Michael Ironside. Omigod. Die.

Date: 2010-02-18 11:25 pm (UTC)Is David Prowse the guy who wore the Vader suit? 'Cause the only Vader I know is James Earl Jones and I know he only did the voice, so I'm guessing the man in the suit was him? Or the guy who plays him sans helmet at the end of Return of the Jedi? Are they the same person?
I guess I can just look that up on IMDB, haha...while I'm at it I'm going to look up Amber Benson too 'cause her name is super-familiar to me!
no subject
Date: 2010-02-18 11:31 pm (UTC)Prowse was, indeed, the guy in the suit. And a dirty old man, natch.
Jacob Two-Two is Mordecai Richler's son, Jake, on whom the famous book is based.
Amber Benson's the doll from Buffy -- Remember Tara? "Your shirt ..."
And Mike Ironside. Oh, Mike. I'm very in love with him. Love like you cannot imagine. If you were really old like me, you'd know him as Ham Tyler from V, but you've seen him in a thousand B-movies. He was Ricter in Total Recall. Oh -- and his voice! I have to leave the computer for a minute, but I'll be back with a picture!
no subject
Date: 2010-02-18 11:34 pm (UTC)I was never a fan of Buffy but I remember the name Tara. Was she the one who dated Willow?
Also, you are NOT old.
no subject
Date: 2010-02-18 11:30 pm (UTC)I *did* find this freaky bit of trivia though:
He commented in an interview that he was unaware that his voice been dubbed with that of James Earl Jones' until he saw the movie Star Wars (1977) on opening night.
Damn, if that's true, that's pretty messed-up! XD
(And I looked up Amber but I'm not too familiar with her work, unfortunately!)
no subject
Date: 2010-02-19 12:04 am (UTC)A third actor played Vader sans mask. I'm a Star Wars geek, but not enough to know his name. Here's another horrible piece of trivia: James Earl Jones wasn't credited on-screen until the 20th (25th?) anniversary edition of A New Hope was issued.
Jake was a real boy, and he HATED it when people called him Jacob Two-Two.
And here's Mike (http://sobreelmundodelcine.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/17589551_03ad9855ce_m.jpg) again for you. He does a lot of voice acting for video games and stuff.
Phew! I should probably get some work done tonight, too.
no subject
Date: 2010-02-19 04:39 am (UTC)So a THIRD person played Vader in Return of the Jedi? That is insane!
Star Wars trivia is awesome. I never NOT want to know any, ya know? I wish I could have seen it in theaters back when it was first released. <3

Date: 2010-02-18 11:10 pm (UTC)I used to live in NYC, so I have met a ton, haha...
Bret and Jemaine from Flight of the Conchords, David Hyde Pierce, Hank Azaria, Simon Russell Beale, Liev Schrieber, Alan Rickman, Jeff Daniels, Marcia Gay Harden, Oliver Platt, Nicolas Cage, Michael Chabon (my favorite writer everrrrr), Jeffrey Tambor, Cyndi Lauper, Brad Garrett, Alan Alda, Nathan Lane, Matthew Broderick, Ian McDiarmid, Ralph Fiennes, Cherry Jones, Alan Cumming, Joan Allen... that's not even everyone, haha.
And I came reeeeally close to meeting Michael Emerson and Carrie Preston last summer.
no subject
Date: 2010-02-18 11:21 pm (UTC)Holy hell. Any interesting stories behind those?!?!
Alan Rickman is pretty sexy in an "older man" kind of way, and Oliver Platt is just darling. I dunno what it is about him, but he's awesome!
And if anyone needs to have Alan Cumming's amazzzingness explained to them...well...:P
What's the story with ME & his wife?
If I met Michael Emerson I would probably throw up (afterward).
no subject
Date: 2010-02-18 11:34 pm (UTC)Alan Cumming is flipping the camera off in the picture I took with him, haha. He's so funny and so Scottish.
Oliver Platt is a sweetheart! Also he has kind of a giant head. Literally. Haha.
Last summer I went to an NYCLU event where Michael and Carrie both spoke! I was hanging out in Washington Square Park before the show and they both came walking past. Actually, here is my journal entry about it (http://bomburjo.livejournal.com/203483.html)! Haha.
no subject
Date: 2010-02-18 11:43 pm (UTC)Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I hope you get to meet him for more than a few seconds next time! AHHH
Alan Cumming sounds awesome. His accent is the BEST THING EVER.
And soooo cool about Alan Rickman! HOLY HELL AHDJKDHJKDHJKADH
Here's my story about NPH! (http://bee-york.livejournal.com/270670.html) I replay it in my head sometimes because I'm a loser but seriously it was a wonderful, amazing, gloooooorious evening and I will never stop being grateful that it happened. XD
no subject
Date: 2010-02-18 11:49 pm (UTC)That was totally like a dream because you got to talk to him more than once! FFFF HE SOUNDS SO AWESOME.
AND YES. As soon as Michael Emerson does another play, I will be there. I have to see him perform in person, he's so amazing.
no subject
Date: 2010-02-19 04:37 am (UTC)If ME does another play, I'm there. I am SO there. I used to go to NYC twice a year but haven't been in over 2 years now, which is seriously causing me to go through withdrawal. It's only because I can't afford it right now, but seeing Michael Emerson live is the best reason to throw oneself into more debt.

Date: 2010-02-19 03:55 am (UTC)I dreamt I was cuddling with John Malkovich last night. That was odd. I'd really like to meet him though. I'd love to meet the entire cast of Lost. I'd like to meet John Mayer's crotch. I'd love to meet George Clooney too and my crush from fuckingforever, Harrison Ford! But only if he's dressed as Indiana Jones. LOL
What's this Emerson fiasco? What'd I miss? Is that when he was on Jimmy Kimmel?
no subject
Date: 2010-02-19 04:46 am (UTC)I remember when we were at Brutopia and you told me about how you met the New Kids. Now THAT I'm ridiculously envious about. I would go sooo weak at the knees...oh man, I don't even know.
Also: "I'd like to meet John Mayer's crotch."
HAHAHAAHAHAHHA
Annnnnnd the Emerson fiasco was...just that, him being on Kimmel. I was getting so hyped up about it that it was a fiasco for me. ;) Well, that, as well as the fact that it was on 2 hours after I planned on being in bed. :(

Date: 2010-02-19 04:48 am (UTC)I went to Cegep with a girl that won star academie, I never met her but I saw her around (we had the same singing coach).
That's it!
My mom once took the elevator with Steve Martin, she said he was really nice and spoke French really well.
My dad worked with Halle Berry and said she was the craziest bitch he had ever met. He even told me a story that ended up in a gossip mag a few months later (though highly exagerated).
I had a dream about Lady Gaga last night. We were sisters and she was kidnapped and replaced with an evil clone. lol it was pretty funny
no subject
Date: 2010-02-21 03:01 pm (UTC)lol sorry for the Halle Berry rant. But I'm not surprised to hear that she was "the craziest bitch he had ever met". She can DIAF for all I care.
On a completely different note, that Lady Gaga dream you had sounds like it was made of AWESOME. :D

Date: 2010-02-19 02:52 pm (UTC)As an Ex con-geek. I've met a few Star Trek and other sci-fi people.
Marina Sirtis ;)
George Takei ( in an elevator )
Brent Spiner
Robin Curtis ( the second Saavik )
I also met Geraint Wyn Davies and also the guy who played the bad guy in Forever Knight (?)
Barbara Hambly ( do authors count ? )

Date: 2010-02-21 03:03 pm (UTC)Brent Spiner is just two million levels of fantastic. What was he like? Was he nice?
lol @ George Takei in an elevator. I bet he's awesome. He just seems like he would be. :)
no subject
Date: 2010-02-22 02:53 pm (UTC)Brent Spiner is kind of dickish. I mean not an outright dick, but he's got this sort of sarcastic sense about him.
George Takei is just like Sulu in the way he talks and stuff. Seemed like a really nice guy.
I would really like to meet Monita Rajpal. there, I've said it.
Date: 2010-02-20 07:25 pm (UTC)I also met some players from the 1980 US hockey team, when they had a reunion dinner at my parents' restaurant in Lake Placid.
Re: I would really like to meet Monita Rajpal. there, I've said it.
Date: 2010-02-21 03:08 pm (UTC)My sister has had some interesting brushes with fame. My Conan 'O Brien encounter I mentioned above? It began when I took my sister and THREW HER at him. I'm very grateful that she was so cool with it--she really handled being thrown at one of her favourite TV icons quite well, lol.
Did you used to be a cook? That's so cool! I loved the working atmosphere of restaurants. I did so much of that when I was younger and I just met the most awesomest people I've ever worked with. There's such a particularly awesome dynamic about kitchens that I can't quite describe. ^_^
