MARRISA JARET WINOKER!
she came out the door and I screamed!!
she worked her way down the line, then she got to me....

the conversation...(me shaking and in almost tears the whole time)
"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"

If 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!!!

AWW!! I'm so incredibly happy for you! I'm glad you got a chance to meet someone you look up to. Marissa is a great role-model. Nice birthday present isn't it?

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.

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!

Oy. Yeah, the first time I met Sutton Foster my sister told her I was obsessed with her. But I'm happy that you're so giddy!

Up in Lost, whoa how embarassing! That sounds like something my mom would do too.

It'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!).

broadway_freak - You should only know HALF of the things my mom comes out with.

Awww that is so cool. Happy Birthday!

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!

oh! and Happy Birthday!
