i met a famous person

Saturday, March 28, 2009
no lie.

granted...if i could choose any celebrity to run into at the Temple Food market in Dublin, i suppose i would pick someone else. but anyway, ladies and gentleman, i have now had a conversation with Amy Adams.

i know. you're all going...who? who is she taking about. lol. click here for imbd info. then you might recognize her. anywho, here is what happened:

kelly's at the stand that's serving hot drinks, which ends up being very popular, because its oh about 45 degrees here. and very windy. so i'm standing next to kelly, who has just paid, and i ended up looking over at the person waiting for her drink. i do a double take because i've just watched Enchanted about a week ago and it really looks like the lead actress. i think to myself "yeah right, like amy adams is standing next to us in the food market." then i look over at the girl again, she sees me looking at her so i look away. then that happens again. and i'm like 99% sure that its amy. so i sneek inbetween kelly and amy and decide to just start talking to her.

me: are you amy adams? (what else was i supposed to say? haha.)
amy: yeah...
me: oh wow. i wasn't sure, i thought maybe it was just someone that really looked like you. we just watched Enchanted last week actually.
amy: oh really?
me: yeah. so what are you doing in Dublin.
amy: i'm actually working.
me: that's cool.
amy: how long are you here for?
me: just the weekend. we (pointing to kelly) are actually studying abroad in Italy for the semester.
amy: where?
me: in Florence.
amy: Florence in beautiful.
me: yeah.
amy: where are you from?
me: Minnesota.
amy: oh, where?
me: Mankato
amy: i used to live there actually.
me: really?
amy: yeah, and i worked at Chanhassen Dinner theatre.
me: oh wow...(i can't think of anything else to say at the moment, so i figure its best to end it.) well, it was really nice to meet you.
amy: you, too.

so all in all, we're bff now. haha. no...not really. but she was so, so, so nice. i felt weird asking for her picture, because no one else in the market reconigzed her and thought it might draw attention to her. so i don't have that kind of picture proof. but i did take a picture of her from far away, which was sort of stalkerish. lol. after we said bye, i walked back next to kelly and told her the amy adams was standing like 5 feet from her. she said "who?" and then i told her the girl from Enchanted and she basically yelped. and then gave amy a really obvious look. haha.

okay, i'm gonna find dinner. random last note...Confessions of a Shopaholic = thumbs down.

You met amy adams and you didn't tell her that one of your roommates LOOOVED her in both "The Wedding Date" AND "Enchanted". So jealous.

I'm pretty sure you guys are bff now. And I'm also pretty sure that I wouldn't recognize her, even if I saw her in real life. Apparently she was in the Office...Was she Jim's sort-of girl friend who he told nothing was ever going to happen with?

yeah. in season one she was the hot chick with the purses...and then she comes back in season two and he dumps her on the boat. lol. so yes...she has touched John Krasinski!

I am like soooooo jealous of you! Amy is my role model and hero! Erg! I cannot believe you met her! Lucky you! And while I'm seering with envy, this little tiny part of me tells you, "I'm happy for you!" But then I slap my hand over my mouth because I'm not sure you appreciated it! (Totally not trying to be mean! But...I WOULD KILL TO GET TO MEET HER!!!!)
