Breaking News: Celebrity Bumps Into Eileen, She Freaks Out

Alright, let me preface this to say that if there IS anyone out there reading this, I promise the creepy celebrity sightings posts will stop on Friday. Because then, Connecticut can go back to being its boring old self and nothing will ever happen. Ever.

Anyway.

Today I had to go to a lunch meeting (to which I say, "Fuck you, you people with your stupid vacations coming up who fight about stupid things and generally live to work in a depressing office where you fade into obscurity..."), which sort of made me cry a little, #1 because it's a beautiful day, and #2 because I have been having fantasies of being discovered by Steven Spielberg and getting to star in Indiana Jones 4 as Shia LaBeouf's girlfriend. And wear cute 1950s clothes. But I digress. So I was sort of disappointed, but of course I found a way to sneak out of work at 2:30 (and not get caught!) I walked over to Grove Street, where they were filming inside of Yale. There was really not much to see, just extras and make-up people. Then. I looked up, and saw some people walking towards me. The next time I look around, Shia LaBeouf is about 2 inches away from my face, rushing to the set. He almost bumped into me, but he did say "Excuse me"!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, he didn't really acknowledge me, or stop and make out with me, but it's something. I could see every pore and freckle on his face (!!!!!!) I believe Thursday is the last day of filming, but I could be wrong. I think they're leaving on Friday. So Thursday, even though I have to work, I will pretty much be hanging by the set and the trailers to try and get a autographs and pictures. Luckily nobody is going to be in on Thursday and Friday, so I can get away veerry easily.

Something good that comes out of this (other than the adrenaline rush I get when I see celebrities) is that it is really inspiring me. This is what I want to be a part of someday. I want to be a part of the magic. Even if it's just for a few movies. I want to be involved, make a lot of money, and then spend the rest of my life in the Peace Corps and donate all (or most of) my money to charities. How awesome would that be? Dreams, I know. But I'm not the type of person to let go of my dreams just because they might be a tad far-fetched. I have just got to work my ass off to get to them.

I've got some good ideas for stuff that I've been working on for a few months. After Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows comes out, my brain is going to be solely focused on my work until I have to go back to school. (I'll explain my obsession with HP soon...)

Rock.
