I SAW NEIL GAIMAN TODAY!~

In the flesh. Breathing, and simply freaking awesome.

I couldn't get a seat in the main auditorium of the library which was frustrating. I would have been delegated to a cramped room where he would be on a tv. Totally can see him on a tv anyday (helllo, internet). Plus I really have some serious studying to do... Anyhow, I was feeling frustrated/desperate in the filled auditorium, standing on the steps when I see him walking up the steps - my way! I back up and he passes me on the way out (my heart is totally hammering and going crazy realizing I'm that close to one of my favorite authors of all time. I mean he has near god-hood status in my book)- he went to say hello to the peeps in the cramped other overflow room. I hovered around the doorway - just super thrilled to hear him talk! And then, he turned out to return to the main auditorium and there, in the few seconds that s-l-o-w-e-d down to minutes really, I said hi - and he said hi back!

me = CLOUD9
