My Life ... It's Random

Okay, so yesterday I hauled by butt up the Staples Center/Microsoft Theater where the LA Premiere of 'Sing' was going on.  I met up with a friend of mine, who met up with two other friends of hers (and a random girl we met) because we were all there to see the same person.

Taron Egerton. (Kingsman, Eddie the Eagle)

So ... we were on the Staples Center side, looking at ... mesh on fencing.  Yep.  They had fenced off the WHOLE THING.  So, unless you had a ticket to the premiere, you couldn't see anything.  And then, the security for the Staples Center was SUPER RUDE and pushed everyone who was there 'off their property' and we even got told 'I would hate to have you arrested' ... dude.

We (the five of us) moved to the other side of the Microsoft Theater, and tried to look incospicuous - there were a bunch of people meandering around so it wasn't too bad.  Stars were supposed to be arriving at 3 and the movie was supposed to start at 4 ... it got past 4pm and we started to loose hope ... One of the girls had looked on twitter and found that 'Sing' was doing a 'livestream' and Taron had just taken a picture four minutes earlier on the red carpet.

And then.  I spot someone through the mesh.  Wearing what Taron was photographed wearing.  And then some random woman who had appeared reminded us that there were GLASS WINDOWS around the corner that he had to walk by.  So we booked it around the corner and got his attention and he smiled and waved and BLEW US ALL A FUCKING KISS!!!!

So ... life made. (Oh, I also saw Matthew McConaughey)

I feel recently, like some fans in some fandoms (and I'm in a couple, so this isn't a jab at any one in particular) have just lost their manners when it comes to interacting with actors/actresses/directors/etc ... Yes, the fourth wall has practically been torn down with Twitter and Tumblr, but ... I feel like you should still respect whatever famous person you are tweeting to ...

Bagging on an actor who they feel didn't do all they should have to keep another actor on a show is uncool ... Tweeting to someone and telling them about how they're making it hard to not ship them with one of their costars is inappropriate.

I just ... when did fans lose their shit and get this feeling of entitlement?  Respect these people who just want to have a little bit of a private life.  I get that they're famous, so they are in the limelight a bit but ... wow.

*shakes my head*  I'm glad I'm not one of the crazy ones.

So ... this happened this morning:





Excuse me while I go flail and squeal ... *bounces excitedly*

I squealed so loud the dog looked up at me LOL

... a fandom related dream ... I guess.

I was at the Mickey and Friends parking garage, waiting for the tram.  It was pretty slow (probably a Monday) ... and standing in front of me is ... Michael Rosenbaum!!!  I get his autograph and he records 'prepare to be dazzled' for my cellphone and then ... I rode the tram (the one with the doors, wtf?) with him to Disneyland ...

Okay, so I still totally love my show ... I still giggle and squee over Smallville, even if I don't always like what they do ... but ...
