Hey y'all!
I haven't been here in a while, but decided to check back and see what the chat has been on our Goddess Emily (well, okay, she's MY Goddess anyway!). I had to chuckle with the recent discussions of how y'all are saying how it would be to meet Emily...well, I live in her hometown of Raleigh, NC, and I actually DID meet her when she was at the Mannequin Ball last January (a dear friend of mine tipped me off that Emily was going to be there), so I drummed enough confidence (and emptied enough cologne over my head) to go and see her....and let me tell y'all, everything, absolutely
EVERYTHING you hear about how sweet and bubbly and attentive and appreciative she is of her fans is all true....I've had the chance to meet other actors and even some Olympians in my day, but meeting Emily will go down in my history as the greatest thrill! Once I told her that I came to see her, she took me by the arm and showed me to her family and friends...and when I asked her for a picture, she replied "I want you in the picture with me" and before I knew it, she had put her arm around me and handed my camera to her mom!
I too thought how I was ever gonna talk to this Goddess, but she is so awesome that believe it or not, words just seemed to come out, it was like we were old friends catching up...I really couldn't have asked to spend my "15 minutes of fame" with a more wonderful person.....one last thing, and I'm sorry gals, I have to put this in typical guy language....Emily is smokin' HOT!!!! :drool:
Hope y'all don't mind me comin' back!!!
Mike
