23:08 lisa.smyth: you met ellen page?!
me: awesome
plastic surgeons are smart but jerky
oh YEAH!
I should'vce asked her to hang out
but I got tongue tied!
lisa.smyth: LOL
i would have too
she's awesome
me: oh and
tiny!!
she's like 5'1
23:09 lisa.smyth: yeah...
me: but so cool
lisa.smyth: she has such presense though
me: we talked for a bit
oh the things she asked me weere
1)what's your name
2)where are you from
3) what are you doing in La | | 16 minutes |
we totally like locked eyes three times but it wasn't like a checking out thing it was a "man I need to get out of here" look
lisa.smyth: ha!
23:33 me: I wasn't 100% sure it was her
until I saw the security guy say "hey I see you"
and then the workers were checking her out and stuff
she was just shuttling through the aisles
lisa.smyth: was anyone with her?
me: so then Im getting some other random things
oh no
dude she was totally incognito and cool
lisa.smyth: dude!
me: just jeans and a plaid top
23:34 lisa.smyth: nice
me: no hat no shades
lisa.smyth: casual
me: backpack
totally
man I should've asked to hang out with her
so as I'm leaving thinking wow that was amazing
I line up to pay
lisa.smyth: what were the exact words exchanged?
me: and she lines up sorta beside me
oh nothing yet
23:35 lisa.smyth: oh ok... i'm getting ahead of myself!
me: keep in mind too I'm carrying my labcoat around
lisa.smyth: ha!
me: so I'm thinking this is once in a lifetime - I gotta go talk to her
23:36 the cashier is not that bright - she's screwing up codes and not really sure where anything is
Ellen's just very serious and wanting to leave a bit it looks like, but keeping it cool
so she's checking out and I walk up and I say "Ellen Page?"
and she turns and stares at me
23:37 lisa.smyth: amazing
me: and I say with a big smile "Hi I'm Canadian and lived in Halifax for a while! Just wanted you to know that we're really proud of you"
and she's "Thanks!"
23:38 lisa.smyth: perfect
me: "You're a super inspiration and ever since you did Juno you know we had our fingers crossed (for the oscars but I'm totally lost in the moment and I think this made no sense) and I think it's crazy that I got to see you here in LA!
23:39 at this point the cashier says something like "did you drink this already? What do I do with this?"
it's an empty bottle or something
she says "yeah just charge it"
and returns to the conversation where she says
"What's your name?"
"Richard"
"Great to meet you Richard"
23:40 "Thanks great to meet you too!"
"Did you say you're from Halifax?"
and I totally was not in my right mind and said YES
lisa.smyth: oops!
me: so then she puts down what she had in her hands
blocks herself squarely to me
and shakes my hand
23:41 "What are you doing in LA?"
"I'm a doctor (gesturing to my labcoat folded onto my arm) and I'm rotating at cedars sinai"
see here I assumed she's from La
but I think she was just in for the weekend
she says "oh cool"
23:42 AND THIS IS WHERE I SHOULD HAVE OFFERED SOMETHING ELSE UP
but I get the feeling she wants to go so I'm like
"well excellent to meet you"
lisa.smyth: well... she might have thought you were hitting on her if you asked her to hang out...
me: and she says "okay later dude!"
23:43 oops!
23:44 but then I just kinda turn around and just smile for the rest of the day
lisa.smyth: ha!
great story!
she's cool
i would have loved to meet her
i think you covered up your star-struck-ness well too
23:45 me: well then I find her page on fb and get a twitter account
lisa.smyth: you played it cool escobedo!
nice work
me: oh dude that's the most uncool in like two decades!
lisa.smyth: whatever
it's probably not as bad as you think
me: yeah it was awesome
I just really wish I was able to chat with her some more
23:46 lisa.smyth: you were probably suave
;)
me: I get the feeling that she feels like she's missing out on reality and needs some friends
oh dude I haven't had a proper haircut in like a month
it's a mess
lisa.smyth: LOL
me: and I was breaking out a bit too from being an intern
lisa.smyth: LOL
me: so I was not at my top form
23:47 but a smile always gets across your intentions
lisa.smyth: exactly
me: hey in other news
well unless you want to chat more
it was crazy
she got some greens and this crazy iced tea concoction
it was like veggies and tea
weird
lisa.smyth: ya
weird
