Oh Happy Place
Oct. 23rd, 2004 11:35 pmI have decided that today was meant to be happy.
I saw Ethan Zohn this morning. He's here for a soccer camp thingy for GrassRoots Soccer, which is like his organization or something, and Jenna from Amazon was with him. So, as he visited a university that was a few minutes away from my university, and since my brother so conveniently needed to be dropped off at school there this morning, I decided to go and see if I could, like, see him, at least, or something.
He was TWO FEET AWAY. And, like, I took LOADS of pictures (though most were far, and the one I got when I was two feet away was taken with OMGTREMBLINGFINGERS) and shall have them developed tomorrow for the sake of the one person in my flist who knows who Ethan Zohn is. *waves to Charli* (Although I mean HELLO? Survivor Africa? REALLY CUTE GUY with the dark curly hair--I have a curly-hair fetish, apparently, hmm--and the REALLY NICE person who won?) And oh, there's so much to say. He was, like, drinking from his water bottle and he threw it aside and I was like, "Can we get that?" to my friend and we probably could have, except some assistant-type person picked it up. *glare* And, oh, this is so surreal. I never thought he'd come here, let alone that I'd see him and get his autograph. AND his picture!!! (We were up for getting autographs--Charli I want to give you yours, I've a plan, sort of--and then we could take a close up of him. *nods*)
My friend brought a digicam along, and I'm borrowing an image she got:

Guh. Okay, I'll have the one where he faces the camera tomorrow. I hope my hands didn't SHAKE though. My heart was faint, I swear. EEEEEEEEEEEE. Okay, BREATHE. I'm good now. Mmhmm. (And he was bouncing. Eeee.)
Okay. Hee. Then my friend and I just generally hung around her house, until we had to go to my other friend's house for her birthday celebration. Aaaand ooh good food. Mmm, I am hungry again. (On a side note: I just ate breakfast in McDonald's, and this is two days after watching Supersize Me. Hee. Sausage McMuffin with Egg is goooood.)
And I came home to sleep as I was tired so I was unable to speak to Ant but I finally got to talk to S again. So, you know, happy day, really.
To cap off the day of happiness, a meme, gacked from
1. Tell me one thing you love about me.
2. Tell me two things you love about yourself.
3. Look through the comments... when you see someone you know, tell them three things you love about them.
4. Do this in your journal so I can tell you what I love about you. :)
Love to you all! <333
ETA: Reasons for loving LJ:
23: There's bound to be someone somewhere interested in the same thing you are. *waves at

1. I love you because no matter how sad or grumpy I am, you always make me feel loads better. ♥
2. The first thing I love about me is (of course), my hair. Except not today, because it is lank and needs washing, but generally, I love it a whole lot. The second thing I love about me is... gosh, it's so hard to choose just one thing :P I think the cleverness of me, I like that alot.
Okay, must find person I know in order to do part three.
I also love Adam Herald, I am just too lazy to add it to my userinfo!!!

Date: 2004-10-27 12:38 am (UTC)It's interesting you say that about Aussie Legend, because I've been doing alot of thinking about that lately, like what makes someone an Aussie Legend, for my novel. Any thoughts you have on the subject would be greatly appreciated!!!
