"OMg! Marrissa! I just love you! You're like my Idol!"
Everyone around me "Awwww"
Marrissa, "OMG! Thank You so much!"
Me: "OMG do you think I could get my picture with you!?"
Marissa: "Of course!"
*i bend down and take the pic and rubs my arm like in thanks*
My mother and these nice ladies around me, "This is for her birthday! She choice this"
Marissa: "Aww! Happy Birthday!"
Me: "Thank You!"
Marissa: "What's your name?"
Me: *has to think for a moment* "Briana!"
Marissa: '*smiles* "Well Happy Birthday Briana"

Posted: 6/16/05 at 1:43amIf it makes you feel any better, when she recognized me out side the stage door in LA I almost fainted also. I was walking away to leave the stage door and I totally tripped over myself because my legs were like jelly and fell flat on my butt. I hope she didn't see!!!

I never understood the giddyness and "OMG" feeling in meeting a celebrity. They are just people like you or me.
Ah well - I'm happy for you.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

I'm not usually "OMG" about celebs either but Marissa is a terrific role model
In fact, it was Hairspray more than anything else that helped me overcome my eating disorder and made me accept my body for what it is
stylinbohemian, I'm glad for you and Happy Birthday!

One time at the stage door, this girl next to me was like "I have three ...s" and I was LIKE OKAY SCARY GET AWAY!

Posted: 6/16/05 at 4:19pmIt's always so much fun to meet somone you REALLY want to meet and admire. Good for you! It's great that she was so nice too...unlike SOME people who think they are too good for fans (Ms. Lea Salonga!).

Great gift! And even if she is *just a person*, she is your idol, and it is awesome that you got to meet her.
That's why I like Broadway rather than Hollywood...you actually get to meet your favorite actors/actresses after shows!
