Star-Struck

So if you know me, you know that I can rarely make it through the day without traveling to the College Humor website. Where the advanced youth of today go to excite their dry, black senses of humor. True Novacaine for those of us whose humor is sometimes found crude.

I like to investigate the blogs of the starring cast of the original videos, not in a stalker-fantasy kind of way.... More of a let me find more to laugh at, recommended by people I can relate to. Only much cooler than I am... again if you know me you realize these people are not really hard to find.

So I'm browsing through the blog of the director of these epic viral vids, when I come upon a post requesting portraits of himself from people who check the blog.

So my brain goes hey!! hero ask for portrait. you=artist. artist do portraits.

For some reason I devolve into a Neanderthal when I talk to myself. Perhaps it's because I know and sympathize with my own spastacity.

I emailed him with an eager interest to capture his portrait as the only thank-you I can think of to offer for giving my laughter a refuge.

AND HE RESPONDED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously the coolest thing that's happened to me in a long while. It took me two seconds to shake my reverie and freak out with ecstasy.

I realize that the invisible bubble we automatically think exists between us and heroes is actually put up mostly by us not them.

Take a chance. It's awesome when it's rewarded. I'm gonna go be lame and tell my parents! Of course that convo will begin with a 30 minute conversation on what CH is. They just figured out texting and email. This could get ugly...
