I guess it'll be told a little differently this time, after coming down from the high, and all. Memories fade to blurs, in a way, but the strangest, tiniest little details are still so vivid in my mind.

I rushed down to the theatre after a full -- very long -- day of classes. I was exhausted. I huddled up in a corner with some of my books, but I'm pretty sure I just stared aimlessly at them, and some blank paper. It's not like my essay was getting done. I was the second person on the student rush line.

One of the security guards came by and said we couldn't be sitting, because it was a fire hazard, so I got up and started pacing around in the corner that was blocked off for the student rush ticket line.

I walk when I walk on the phone, and I picked up my phone out of boredom, and because I had forgotten to call my mom, as she so often demands. I was pacing, killing time, about to dial, and I saw this reflection in the glass doors -- there was a bit of a glare, but I thought it might be Adam, so I kept an eye on the door for a second. As soon as he opened it and the glare went away, I freaked out a little, silently. I wasn't sure if I should stop him, seeing as he was on his way outside to make a phone call. I had never been alone with him, or anything -- I always have backup, so I figured I would just smile, not make eye contact and let him go.

We made eye contact when he came through the door, and he started coming over. I smiled, and just... started talking. The box office is relatively small, and we both sort of started saying hi at the same time. I was like "hey! How are you?" or something, and he asked what was going on, in that super-cool, chill guy way. He came right over to where I was standing and asked what exactly I was doing there, as it was four hours before the performance. I explained that they were doing student rush, for only $25, and after he seemed confused, he was like "oh, f*ckin A!" because let's face it, $25 is cheap. He said something about how he would've rathered pay that instead of $80 so his wife could see it -- I decided to leave alone the distinction of *student* rush.

In retrospect, I wish that I hadn't clammed up at this point, and that I had said the things I've always meant to say. Or just asked him what he was up to, or... something. But at that point we just looked at each other a little awkwardly, and he started to head toward the door. I smiled, trying not to indicate the true level of giddiness, and was like "see ya."

I was waiting with my friends after the show in the lobby, since that's where the actors coem out at the AA Theatre. Adam was one of the first ones out, and liotte was like "go, go get him." So I went over and put a hand on his shoulder, just to get his attention. He was talking to someone, so I didn't plan to totally take him away from that, but I was like "hey, I just wanted to tell you you were really fantastic." He told the guy he was talking to he'd catch up with him later, held onto my hand while doing so, and when the guy left he leaned over and kissed my cheek, thanking me for coming and for the compliment and everything. He stayed and talked to us for a few minutes, taking pictures and signing autographs for a lot of people. Before he left for good, he came back over to say goodbye.

Needless to say, I was on Cloud 9 billion, and had no idea what to do with myself for a good three days following. It was just so weird -- yet one of the greatest things -- to have him finally acknowledge me as more than some part of a big mass of people, and show me that he appreciates my support.

Hah, I didn't get it til you just pointed it out, CS.

Are you making a return trip to the gutter, skittles?

SNOWBIRD! :-O

Chloe, that sounds really fascinating. Adam playing a wise-ass must have been entertaining, and Adam + teddy bears, heh.

SKITTLES! :-O

AHHHH! I love stories!

[Fantabulous428]

Posted: 1/22/06 at 1:35am

Em, what a fantastic story. See, storytime is really fun!

[Katt]

Posted: 1/22/06 at 1:35am

Wow Em, that must have been an amazing night =]

[CanadianSnowbird]

Posted: 1/22/06 at 1:35am

Ahh, that's a cute story.
Hey the gutter is a fun place to be. You all know you're there.

[JLSatUD]

Posted: 1/22/06 at 1:36am

cute story. It's nice when someone knows you are actually appreciative and not a crazy fan girl.

Ok off to sleep for me. Enjoy the wee hours of the morning :)

[CanadianSnowbird]

Posted: 1/22/06 at 1:37am

Good night JL.

[Chloe]

Posted: 1/22/06 at 1:37am

Thanks, Em. And just to fill in a little for the newbies, Emcee had encountered Adam on several previous occasions and found herself unable to say anything much. This was their first real conversation.

[Billboard Girl]

Posted: 1/22/06 at 1:38am

That's a great story, Em.

Snowbird, of course the gutter is a fun place to be, as well as my permanent residence.

Heh, sorry Fantab. I was gone for good after that Raul pic

*loves this story*

"Needless to say, I was on Cloud 9 billion, and had no idea what to do with myself for a good three days following."

We didn't know what to do with you either

I'm still jealous about that story and Em and always will be!

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 1/22/06 at 1:40am

I really might as well usually swallow my tongue. Or just shove my foot down my throat. He got to know my face, on the basis of me saying MAYBE three words to him each time we met.

hah. I remember coming in that night SOAKING WET because it was raining unbelievably hard, and just sitting on my bed, grinning.

It was kinda silly.

[Chloe]

Posted: 1/22/06 at 1:41am

I'm going now too - good night and sweet dreams!

[Katt]

Posted: 1/22/06 at 1:41am

Goodnight Chloe!

[Fantabulous428]

Posted: 1/22/06 at 1:42am

Those types of experiences are kind of hard. You look forward to them soo much, and then night comes, and they're over. Sure, you have memories and you try to latch onto as many as them as possible, but they slowly all kind of blur together.

Heh, I do my best rambling at 2 in the morning, apparently.

[Billboard Girl]

Posted: 1/22/06 at 1:43am

Good night, Chloe!

[CanadianSnowbird]

Posted: 1/22/06 at 1:43am

Goodnight Chloe.

Then you shouldn't be so shocked BBG. You know I wasn't alone in thinking of Adam clad only in bubblewrap as soon as the conversation started up

[Katt]

Posted: 1/22/06 at 1:44am

Heh, CS, I guess we all just have dirty minds.

[Billboard Girl]

Posted: 1/22/06 at 1:45am

Well, I was expecting someone to mention that part of La Vie Boheme, but I didn't quite expect it to be taken that far

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 1/22/06 at 1:50am

I have such a tendency to latch onto memories that I try to be really conscious of NOT letting them bleed together.

[orangeskittles]

Posted: 1/22/06 at 1:56am

I do that mainly when I know no one else is there to help me remember the experience. Symphony Space- I'm a bit shaky on the details because Emcee and some other people were there to remind me. But I still remember so much of what Rodney and I talked about that night because I knew I wouldn't want to forget it.
