December 15th, 2007 was a fantabulous day. Not because it was Michael Shanks' 37th birthday (and, aside from reading posts about that this morning, I plum forgot), but for Heroes. And not just everything Heroes, but what I achieved tonight. If not for my initiative and desire to share my love and appreciation, I would not have felt love and appreciation back from a man I've grown to admire over the course of this year. I had hopes of giving a hug to Adrian Pasdar, but at the Jules Verne Festival, I ended up getting a hug from Adrian Pasdar and acknowledgment. At home, I began crying about this. I can still feel the tears wanting to come back, even now a few hours after they first came out. All of those times at work I felt like I was just giving and giving and giving and going dry because it seemed like my extra work didn't matter. And then in Heroes fandom, where I'm being me, doing what I can, and I'm told such kind and thoughtful words from someone who has touched me, but is a stranger--granted one who I highly respect--this is big to me. I don't think he knows the gift he's given me tonight. :-D
(I'll be making a post about the actual event later today. Just need some time to gather my thoughts outside of the "I GOT PASDAR HUG!!" Check out![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
brokenbacktango's post with a run down of the teaser trailer for Vol. 3. Spoilers ahead!)
...I'm still breathing, right?

Date: 2007-12-16 02:18 pm (UTC)p.s. I saw pictures from the Strike Day here and, correct me if I'm wrong, I think you're on a bunch of them - including a fantastic posed picture with Cristine Rose. Way to go! :D

Date: 2007-12-16 06:33 pm (UTC)That pic with Cristine Rose was hard to get. She was about to leave and I was like "Picture? Please?" And she was all, "Okay! But fast!" I mean, we're right by the crosswalk. *L* And it was fast. *sighs* What an awesome lady she is! So is the writer who took the photo! Mark Warshaw. I had a good conversation with him.

no subject
Date: 2007-12-17 01:15 am (UTC)He is. You're very right. I like that he takes well to the giddy. I'm thinking it's because he has a bit of the giddy in him, too. If the bone marrow meltdown is any indication. That made me like him so much more, too, because I've done that, in a restaurant, too, no less.
I was going to, but he gave me a hug first. *snugs you, too!*

Date: 2007-12-16 05:00 pm (UTC)That's so amazing though, I'm so excited for you! Adrian seems like a sweet guy, and it's good to hear that he appreciates what you're doing for him :)
I look forward to a more detailed post!!
*hugs*

Date: 2007-12-17 01:33 am (UTC)I try to share the love! I don't like people being jealous. I'm all for sharing the good. :D
He's terribly sweet. I'm still going to be speechless about that. Caught dumb by the awesomeness is what I'm calling it!
I'm going to try. May take a few more days.
*more snugs*
