Brush with greatness.

So I always thought that if I met a celebrity I would act completely cool and normal. At least I hoped I would. I think those of you who know me know that this of course is completely not possible.

I went to Starbucks today because I am pmsing and I am addicted to their Pumpkin Spice lattes. As I'm walking toward the door a man is on his way out. I hold the door open for him and he says "No, no, after you". As I say thank you and pass him I notice that is Paul Byrd, starting pitcher for the Indians and winner of two post season games, including a very dramatic win last night to put the Indians up three games to one over the Red Sox. I had just got done telling my boss this morning that I had developed a minor crush on Mr. Byrd AND told my friend Erin that he was one of the cuter Indian's players. AND THERE HE WAS IN STARBUCKS. A normal person would have said "Hey, great game last night, you have a hell of pitch, love that double wind up" etc. But the only thing a complete spazz like me could say is "Umm, ohmigod." and then practically screech at the barristas "Did you see who that was?!?" after he left.

Sigh.

First off that sounds exactly like what you would do, and it is so cute! Secondly, why am I not suprised that you think one of the most not hot Indians players is the hottest :-p You're so funny Jessica, and I love you for that!

I didn't say he was hot, I said he was cute. And he is definitely cute.
