my wildest dreams have come true
So, I'm freaking out because I've never met Mariska, let alone seen her, and obviously she's my favorite person ever. We went to the same high school, had the same acting teacher, performed on the same stage, but graduated EXACTLY 20 years apart. I didn't watch SVU 5 years ago, or else I would have hounded our teacher for every little detail (it's the woman on the cover of Life magazine a few years back - her favorite teacher).
Now, I never go to any type of alumni luncheons or anything like that, but last weekend I received an envelope in the mail inviting a select amount of classes to an alumni mass and luncheon on Saturday, May 20th. I would never think of going, but I glanced down, and it says Alumni of the Year Award presented to: MARISKA HARGITAY, CLASS OF '82. I have never screamed so loudly in my life. The only classes that get to go are in 5 year intervals, and I can't believe I lucked out that my class is one of them. Plus, NO ONE goes to these things, and our classes are really small (less than 100 girls). I assume about 15 people from each class go, and obviously way less from the years 1947 and beyond. So I get to have lunch in a small room with Mariska - we get to have our reunions at the same time, and she gets to give an acceptance speech. Plus, I bet Peter and August will go too...OMG.
Plus, it doesn't even say you get to bring a guest, so it's tiny tiny...but I do hope I can bring my little sister (a huge fan as well) for moral support!
