star struck
I read a lot of blogs that have to do with Hollywood. I guess it’s a guilty-pleasure hobby of mine; keeping up with celebrities and their crazy shenanigans. One of my favorite things to read is ordinary people blowing it with a celebrity (crush). Good times! As long as it’s not happening to me…
Although, the fact that I don’t even have the opportunity to rub elbows with Hollywood elites is kind of sad.
Here are a couple of my recent fave stories:
Once, I was drunkenly chatting up this girl who was trying to get me to guess what she majored in (since making drunk people guess things is always way more fun than just telling them and continuing a normal conversation), so I proceeded to name every completely ridiculous major I could think of until I finally got a laugh out of her when I said “Oceanography?”. So things were going great and we were comparing our Saved By The Bell trivia knowledge (always a hit with the ladies) and then I drunkenly blurt out “You know, you look a lot like Winona Ryder except you don’t seem like a total bitch. That’s cool because Winona Ryder is hot. Whatchyernameagain?”
She replies, with a very stern face “Winona”.
My eyes get wide as the realization of that had just transpired fully hits me, and all I can muster is “So you aren’t an oceanography major?”
And THAT is how to properly strike out with a childhood crush. Next up, Jennifer Connelly.
Fun Fact: This is also the only time in the history of all dating that I’ve ever gotten a laugh out of that “oceanography” joke. But at least it worked on Winona Ryder, right?
In retrospect, that bitch made me waste 117 minutes of my life on a movie about a quilt, so it’s probably better that we aren’t together with me holding a lifetime grudge against her.

And:
I went up to him and said, “You look a lot like Jared Leto. Do you know who Jared Leto is?” He said, “I am Jared Leto.” I wasn’t ready for that. So all I could manage to say was, “Your beauty in Requiem for a Dream detracted from the narrative.” He thanked me and walked away.

I may just be an easily amused person.
