I've come to realize I am excellent at stalking. I think its something that all women have. A new mother has maternal instincts, the single girl has super stalking powers. This is the age of facebook. Stalking is available at the click of a button for people we know. Celebrities on the other hand... that is a whole new level on the stalking game.
We will take this story back to last July when a group of girlfriend's and I went to a summer house in Seaside Park, NJ. I had fully intended on going and
I'm not really sure why we went stalking. This show is such a train wreck I don't even watch it.
Now we can fast forward to my trip in August to visit my Mom. She lives in Minneapolis, MN. I knew if I was going to travel to such a useless city I better do it when my New York Yankees were in town! So here I am sitting in the car with my Aunt, Uncle, Mother and her Husband when we pass by a hotel with a small crowd of Yankee fans outside of it. At a red light I hopped out of the car and decided to join the crowd. A true stalker needs to be able to adapt to the environment around him/her. This was my moment to meet as many players as possible! Well I did get pictures of a few but they were all in a rush to get to Target Field so most of them didn't stop.
So yesterday when I got to work I found that there was a movie being filmed in my parking lot. I've been passed many movie sets (and even on a few) before so I took a quick picture to post to facebook and decided to go on with my day.
"They are filming a movie at work today. I hope it's starring Justin Timberlake's abs!"
So as you know, I bought a new car at the beginning of the Summer. As a result of the new car I park it in a very specific spot. I like to park somewhere between China and Siberia. It is always on the end of the aisle so that other cars can't surround it and it is so far away from the door that if Walt Disney owned the parking lot there would be a monorail taking me to the front door. It just so happened that yesterday there was a movie in my parking spot. So when I arrived back from my coffee break I went to the next available spot that was similar to mine. It was almost 3 sips into my pumpkin spice latte when a security guard knocked on my window.
Rule #1 in stalking:
Make friends with security guards.
By the end of my latte I had found out that ALEXANDER SCARSGARD AKA HOT VIKING VAMPIRE ERIC NORTHMAN AKA NUMBER 3 ON THE LIST OF MY TOP 5 DUDES I'D BOINK was starring in the movie. I had also found out that my new best friend, Franklin the Security Guard was going to help me meet him.
Rule # 2 in stalking:
Don't give up.
On my lunch break I decided to go see if Franklin needed me to grab him something while I was out getting lunch. This resulted in chatting with Franklin right outside of my precious Viking's trailer.
Rule #3 in stalking:
Don't be afraid to make bold moves.
At the end of my day I was walking to my car when I saw my sexy man walking around set. This was my moment to meet him and get a picture that would have fellow fang bangers jealous forever! I walked right on set like I was Franklin's long lost daughter and approached Askars. He was SUPER NICE! With a body like his he could totally be a douche and I'd still want to have his vampire babies but he was actually really pleasant. I am totally awkward and had to step on my tippy toes to even be remotely tall enough to take a picture with him but whatever I GOT A PICTURE WITH HIM!
I'll take what I can get ;-)
