The fruits of perseverance

FYI:Don't take someone's word for it when they tell you something you really want to see is sold out. Check it out yourself. Because supposedly CE's new play A Doll's House was sold out since March, except that, wait a second, they still have tickets. Of which I just bought one, hence I am laughing like a madwoman right now. The stupid website took forever to take my order. I had to reenter the card info four times, but finally it went through. If I hadn't seen that post in ecclescult today I wouldn't have known this play existed (well, the performance; I've read the play). Heeeeee heeee heee!

I just can't stop laughing. I love London so much.

Oh I hate you! I tried to buy some the minute I heard he was in it, and the website said they were sold out (because Gillian Anderson is in that play too and has been announced since March, so all the X Files fans bought tickets) and then I had just about convinced my parents to go to London when he was going to be in it so that I could at least stalk the theater, but...that fell through. So. Crap.

*no words, only jealousy*

... Dude, you should see if you can hang around the stage door for autographs.

*ducks* Sorry. I knew posting this would throw some hate my way, but I could not keep it bottled up. I didn't even pay attention to else is in, just checked for his name like three times. And all the articles I found on Google were emphasizing CE, not anyone else or maybe I was just not paying attention. Focused, I am. It is odd that people are saying it's sold out because it's not like I bought the last ticket they had. Sorry that your plans fell through, though. That really sucks. I almost had a total freakout when I saw that awful "sold out" phrase since para colmo I'm here in London when this is going on. I have to start paying attention.

*sinks into her chair* Sorry. I just... couldn't help myself. But hey, you met Neil Gaiman! That is so freaking cool.

I certainly will. And if he decides to sneak out through another entrance like has happened to me before, I'm going to wait the night after that. And the night after that. I shall not be denied again.

Oh, it's not any real kind of hate. Just...the jealous kind. I remember when the news broke (that he was going to be in it) you were in Mexico, so I figured that by the time you got back it'd be sold out and you'd hate yourself. I don't know. Anyway, I think most of the most recent articles are emphasizing CE because he was one of the last cast members added; Gillian's been in it for ages. I probably am going to end up being in London at some point this summer, but it'll be after the run of the show so...yeah. And hopefully after that he'll be heading back to LA to do Heroes stuff. What? It could happen.

I know. It's the kind I had when this girl on my flist mentioned that she's met Milo twice. I was hating myself for a bit there when I saw that it was sold out, with the tragic "NOOO!" and everything, but then I calmed myself down and looked it up and I found tickets and all was good with the world. Oh. That's some major suck there. I almost didn't make it myself because I'm going to be in PR for most of the run, but you know I would have blown off the original plane ticket and come back earlier if I had to. That's what money is for, right? To satiate our fangirl craziness? Yeah, I'm sad sometimes. That would be beautiful beyond words. You know how extremely tempted I am to ask that if I run into him?

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

It may make me an awful fangirl, but I have very little urge to actually meet most of the people I fangirl about. I'd like to see CE act in something serious, though, because, well, he'd clearly be fabulous in it. That's cooler to see than me being a complete babbling idiot in front of CE and/or Milo. Mostly because I hate seeing people embarrassed and I feel...that would embarrass them. But yes, I would pay good money (and bad. Ill gotten gains and everything) to go see him. I even bought a copy of the play to read and figure out how he'd act it. Which I will, um, get around to doing soon. Heee. Just like good ol' Liz Lemon, huh? I would...probably not ask, for the same embarrassment reasons, but I would be so tempted to beg. It'd probably come out to "Hee hee hee Heroes...you...maybe...Milo..." and then I'd pass out.

Proof that packing and exams have made me brain dead: I could have sworn I replied to this ages ago. Seriously. I didn't and thought I did. *head desk* Brain, why must you mess with me?

I do have the urge to meet some people, but I am afraid that I might start giggling and stuttering uncontrollably. Though I did meet the star of my favorite PR sitcom when I was little and didn't have any embarrassing reaction, but then I didn't think he was hot. I read that play so long ago that I only remember two of the characters and I don't think he's one of them. I'll have to take a look at that again. I don't think I'd beg, though. I think that might embarrass him a bit, but I might ask for a clear yes or no. Note the 'might'. *breaks down laughing* Oh god, no way could I ask that.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Brains really do suck sometimes. You should've seen me yesterday, suffering from the inevitable crazies that come with two 8 am exams in a row and then work. Even my coworkers were looking at me funny.

I think it comes down to the fact that there's characters I adore, so much, that to meet the actor who plays them is to have to for real acknowledge the fact that they aren't real. Of course CE is, all by himself, a wonderful seeming man (as is Jon Stewart, whom I adore and would want to meet and fawn over and give a kidney or two or my heart to, no questions asked) so I might want to talk to them but...I don't know. Actors. I can't think what I'd have to talk about aside from fannish stuff and those are conversations bound to take embarrassing turns. I've read Ibsen (Enemy of the People, I think it was?) and enjoyed it, but no, not that one. I'll...get to it. CE looks so adorably actory in that picture that was on [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com], though, I have to say. I wouldn't want to beg but...it would most likely be what came out. Like Liz with Oprah. I'd end up telling him that without Claude on the show I have such a hard time coming up with plots for the Plaude I write and...*laughs* It would be complicated.

[guanin.livejournal.com]

I don't have a problem with that, oddly enough, and it's very good that I don't because I'm looking to get into the industry myself. Always have, really. I can't think of what else I'd be happy doing. So talking to actors would be obligatory. Though I confess that half the reason I want to talk to Milo is because he's single. He does. Specifically stage actory somehow I think I'd pay to see the look on his face if someone followed that particular line of inquiry.

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Oh, that would be so cool. Something I know I could never manage to break in to/be satisfied doing, but still so cool. Although I'd give a lot to write for the Daily Show. Yes, for now. So get on that, missy! Oh CE and his actory-ness. So attractive to me. How come there are no actor!Claude AUs and how lame would it be to write one? Eeech. I would die. Of embarrassment. Especially if it prompted him to go looking. It's one thing to know he put in the subtext in 28 Days Later, another altogether for him to...yeah.

I had an epiphany during the last batch of essays. Rotten timing, but at least it cleared up what the hell I'm going to do after finishing. Except that I still don't know how I'm going to do it save for using my cousin's connections, but oh well. I know. I'm really, really hoping he'll head over here for the comic con, but since it's like two days before the one in San Diego, he'll likely go to that one. *sigh* I don't know. The Claude in my head always strikes me as a bit shy in crowds. Or maybe that's just his recent paranoia. *laughs* But wouldn't you just love to see that on screen? C'mon!

[visiblemarket.livejournal.com]

Essays are good at epiphany causing. And you know, from the advice I always hear in regards to that, is you just write and write and write. Which you're pretty much already doing, so you're on a good track ;) It's also probably essential to get a decent enough back up job so you can feed your writing habit until you hit it big. Not that the starving artist thing doesn't have its own appeal. Oh, I'm sure you're bound to run into him some day. Once you write him the perfect script. Which god knows he needs, based on the few minutes of Pathology I keep trying to watch and get bored by ;) I think part of me is conflating Claude's personality with CE's, but I could see him being a theaterre actor, all serious and broody, or someone very into the independent film side of things. Or maybe even a director, which would actually be cooler, I think. Peter just has a young, fresh ingenue thing going for him that I'd love to see exploited explored. But I think the problem is that I should be writing RPF, which I don't like to do. See him finding out about the pr0nz on screen? Noooo. But him actually acting in them...mmmm.

[guanin.livejournal.com]

I was just so depressed that essays was all my life had become. And then I saw that Grunny/Milo commentary and they were having such fun. There's no fun in essays. Ever. I'm looking to start off in anything, really, even if it's just translating subtitles. As long as it gives the chance to mooch with people. I hope so. And he does need proper screenplays, the poor guy. Told you it was crap. Just fastforward to the nekkid parts. A director, mm? Bossing eager, young Peter around, inviting him to private chats in his trailer. It'd make me happy to see that happen. The acting, not the pron finding. That'd be scary and awkward.

I've had similar epiphanies when I go home over a break and hang out with my friend who's a film major. Because I go over there and at best, all I've got to show for my semester is a paper or two, and he's got four or five short films. Yes, they are mostly crap, but still, it's something. Well, Alfred Hitchcock started off designing titles for silent films. So, yeah. I know, you did tell me. I appreciate your honesty. But why does the guy make it so hard for me to just enjoy seeing him nekkid? CE at least gives us decent movies to watch while waiting for the nekkidness. Grr. Director or screenwriter. With Peter being brought in because he's the new hot young thing in Hollywood and the movie needs a star. And Elle as a child star who never really got to have a childhood, Mohinder and Adam as the stars of the film (maybe Niki too, who is sweet and a good actress but has a drinking problem), and Sylar a celebrity stalker. Oh yes. Now you've got me thinking about this for real. I know you didn't really, but I'm going to blame you for it. The acting would make me die of fangirly joy. The only time I know of him actually playing all out gay was in "Casualty", which is apparently like the British ER, and that was one episode back in 1990. It's his first credit on IMDB, strangely enough, and I've only heard it from [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] but now...I must see it.
