If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do

Dear Joss

I just met you, like, 20 minutes ago. I'm still shaking and my heart is beating fast. I told you how Buffy changed my life (you asked, "in a good way, I hope?") and I just gabbled questions at you - why are you in London (please let it be for Ripper), when is the next installment of Dr Horrible? - and told you I was sorry about Dollhouse ( Read more... )

*sniffle*

I do not even know what I would do if I actually got to speak to him. I spotted him on the sidewalk outside a restaurant at Comic con, talking with a group of people at like 1 a.m. and I froze completely and only just barely managed to take a pic with my phone.

Seriously. I froze and walked on, just ging "OMG" to myself. I had to run back and overtake him, force myself to speak. Because what the hell do you say?!

Aw, I'm so excited for you!

I know what you mean. Most stars don't make me get all flustered. But running into Joss? I could barely manage to stutter about how much I loved him... and was too chicken so my friend had to ask for him to pose with me! I never would have gotten to his writing and his characters and how much they changed me and my life.

I think that in some way? He gets it.

I've had to interview and vox pop stars for work and stuff, and I just go into work mode and don't get all panicky.

But this... and I was so unprepared! What's JOSS WHEDON doing in my town, just walking around? It's like seeing The Pope. A cool, sci-fi pope.

Oh, he gets it. I don't think he could write the way he does and not know what it means to us.

Holy Crap! That is so cool, and you are such a great writer. He should have given you a job is what should have happened.

Ah, thank you. Can you imagine writing for a Joss Whedon show? You'd have t bring it.

He said he liked my name, so I'm hoping for a character named after me in Ripper. ;)

OMG, gurl, that's so awesome that you met him! He's the best! I want to become a writer for one of his shows and then marry a brother (he's probably still got another unmarried one, right?)

Also, the second season of Dollhouse is nothing short of motherflippin' brilliant. I am telling you that if Fox executives had watched the last six or so episodes, there is NO WAY it wouldn't have been renewed. I have convinced myself that they just didn't watch it.

I still can't believe I met him! Apropos of nothing! Of all the star spots, just random walking-past-a-famous-person, not at a convention or event... this would have been my Number One choice.

I loathe Fox. I can't wait for season 2! I refuse to illegally internet watch it; I want to savour every moment, on the telly, proper like.

I agree with every thing you said! Except for the meeting Joss part. I didn't do that.

Great post.

Ah, thank you! I'm still in shock that I met him, and so randomly.
