Damnit, I can't look at that picture anymore. All I see are the PIT STAINS. CURSES! XD

AWwwwe!
Anyway... I'm off to bed. ... /do homework. I need to complete some readings. Night, everyone! *pats Raúl on the head*

Probably not. Most men are aware of the fact that they have crappy handwriting. Crappy drawing ability usually goes along with crappy handwriting. Though, I happen to find his handwriting - yes, duh, totally adorable.
I double-dog DARE you to do that. Maybe THAT'S the night I'll meet you!
"RAUL. What are these DOTS? I must know."

This is going to be excellent. Excellent indeed. I'm quite curious, actually!
Maybe he just felt like adding an extra something, and dots were feeling right!
I want dirt on Find Me Guilty. Not that he'll divulge, but I never ask!

You just have to break the ice, and he'll stay to talk to you. He tries to make conversation because for anyone shy, silence is awkard, but I think he just assumes all most people want is an autograph and a second to stare.

I would love to have a conversation with him about something other than sharpies. Since that's what my last two conversations with him have been about.
Maybe I'll get chatty in a few weeks (assuming he graces me with his presence). I'm just afraid the conversation would get awkward fast. Unless, of course, he's the type to add to conversations.
Sharpieeeees. Last time I got a bit about removal of clothing, so, you know, me happy. I just wish *I* said more, instead of having a look on my face of "sweet Jesus, you are HOT and I could listen to you talk all night long."
He talks fast and he talks A LOT once you can get him going. It's always impossible for me to just be like "so, what about.... " But people like actors encounter so much that they think quickly on their feet, and can keep a conversation afloat even if you were to feel awkward.
I've gotta get over this!

Haha. Yes, removal of clothing totally trumps my sharpies.
Maybe I will talk more this time. I don't really get starstruck I just worry about the person thinking I'm a freak for just chatting. Haha. I don't have that problem with Dilly or Cahoon, though. Guh. So sweet!
Hey, he knows what we like to hear. "Everybody took off their clothes!" *nods like a bobblehead*
I don't get as starstruck as I used to, per se, but I just worry about saying something Godawful and looking like a total idiot. Kevin's really easy to talk to.

I think if he said something like that to me my jaw would drop... and stay that way.
The last time I was at the stage door he rushed through the autographs and then stood around and talked to a few people for the longest time. I guess it's just the process of having things shoved in your face that he doesn't like.
I laughed, and then my jaw dropped a little, when it registered.
I think so, too. He's one of those kinds of people that commands respect, but because he's so soft-spoken and unassuming, people will get batty and take advantage of him really fast. He takes crap from nobody, though - and you can see it. If you're respectful, you'll get the respect you deserve and his full attention right back, though. I guess even simple things like just remembering to ask nicely help a lot... which is hard to get when you're dealing with so many kids. "OH MY GOD.... POTTS!!!" *tugbitesneeze*

Haha. Too funny.
That's great of him, though. Obviously I respect him anyway, but knowing that makes me respect him more. Just because he knows where he stands.
One of my biggest pet peeves is people with no backbone. The kind that let themselves get walked all over.
I'm like that. Not that I have an ego or a public reputation to protect, but I have ZERO backbone, and it's one of the things I most dislike about my personality.
I'm extra nice and polite simply because I'm afraid. I've had my moments of outgoing silliness with a few actors, but for the most part I keep to my little proverbial shell. It works out well enough, though - because that way, I'm not the one who gets bitched at. I just get to be amused.

I'm always slightly amused, in a Schadenfreude way, when people behave poorly. When I saw Lennon, there was this guy who was very pushy, but then he started yapping at the actors about the reviews. One of the big things we learned never to do while I was working this summer is to talk to an actor about a review - if they bring it up, fine, but never, ever bring one up - because a lot of them freak out. A lot of them don't read the reviews (can't, in fact, because they go so nuts) and get really hard on themselves after a performance if they know a critic saw it, or something. One of the actors got really wide-eyed - I mean, of course that particular cast had to know the reviews were pretty tragic - but I just watched this go on and was like "oh GOD, you don't ever, EVER do that!"

Schadenfreude exactly! Wow, that must have been a best tense and awkward to witness. But, like you said, at least it wasn't you.
Honestly, I don't know if I could handle that many people at a stage door every night. I consider myself to be a nice and polite person but I don't have much patience.
I just wouldn't know what to say to half of them. And now it's like if you're a bit shy and just nod and smile, you aren't nice enough or something. But then again, if I had the guts to get on stage every night, I probably wouldn't be so shy!
