Last week I met this really great guy. I was at church and he got up to speak. I saw him from across the room and thought he was super cute. After listening to what he had to say I determined that he was a good guy. I mean, not just the average nice guy, but a really amazing person. So not only is he cute, but he's this ridiculously good guy. Wow. That NEVER happens. So, after the meeting he actually approached me and Jane and started chatting. He told us his name, but I was having trouble hearing him so I didn't get it. What I DID get was that he was related to a couple of famous people. So after more small talk (I still don't know his first name) he tells me he has to catch a plane and asks me if I have a
facebook so we can stay in contact. I don't have one. Bummer. So I tell him I don't and he sort of
shrugs his shoulders and says, "Maybe we'll meet again," and walks away. I immediately start kicking myself for not offering my number or email address but by this point he's nowhere in sight. So I go about my week thinking of ways to figure out what his first name is and how to reach him. Regular people like me just don't go calling celebrities, insisting that their nephew was hitting on me and now I want to talk to him. So what DO regular people like me do when they wanna reach this cute, friendly, amazingly good person who tried to talk to me and probably feels like I blew him off when really I just didn't know what to say??? Simple. We use the Internet. Lucky for me every flipping person in his family has their own web page, blog, press releases, pictures (you get the idea) all over the net. So I search till I see him and then figure out what his first name is. Then find the link to HIS web page. I browse through his pictures (that's not stalking, he posted them on his VERY public web page). After looking at his pictures and deciding he's
definitely a fun kind of guy I click on the link that says "Contact Me." And then his personal email address pops up. It's not like a company, or fan club or anything. Just his name @yahoo.com. Seriously!?!?! That was too easy. I email him and mentioned how we'd met last week and that I felt stupid for not offering him my email when he asked if I had
facebook and that I was very impressed by his talk and if he wanted to continue to talk he could email me or check out my personal blog. Jane is confident that he's a very nice man and will
definitely write back. I included a picture of Jane and I just in case he needs a little help remembering who we are. I hope he writes back. He really was a very impressive person and after my
Internet research I am only more impressed and wish I had a
facebook to give him last Sunday! I really need to print up business cards for myself.

LOL. So I called my mom to ask if this qualifies as stalking. She says yes. So does Jane. But Jane supports it. LOL I should've just given him my number last week. But he lives out of state and I didn't think anything would come of it. But I have been thinking about him all week. So I got fed up wondering what his name was and why I didn't do anything last week, so I think I got the whole week's worth of wondering and frustration out in my blog stalk today. And if he does write back and we become friends or anything, I hope he never reads this! If he doesn't respond and least I took a risk and put myself out there. I won't have to wonder, "What if?"
