A Tim Burton Valentines
Valentines day is always a awkward day. I never know if I should feel happy or sad. And yes I know that I shouldnt feel sad because I have a boyfriend. But I never know if I am going to be let down. Maybe I set my expectations too high. Usually the case. Sad to say but our of 8 years I can only remember a few. However this year I decided it was going to be different. I wanted to do something that I wanted to do for myself. I wanted to be selfish and so anti valentines. That way I wouldnt concentrate on issues of feeling forgotten. So when I heard that Tim Burton and Danny Elfman were going to be doing a signing of the Corpse Bride, I knew it would be a valentines I wouldnt forget. I went down to the BestBuy in w. hollywood and stood in line for 4 hours with all the other crazy ass people and waited my turn to meet my idol. I had all these question and statements of admiration prepared for tim, but as I got to the front of the line I soon relized I'd be lucky to get in a full sentence. Then one of the secruity guys starts yelling a people to hury up and that we could only get one thing signed instead of the two items we were promised. As I got to the table greeted the guys and told Tim of my obsession with his work as he signed my CB book and Jack figurine. He shared my enthusiasum and I got up the courage to ask him to sign my oster boy book. He seemed suprised that I had this gem. And he gladly signed it against his PR mans wishes. I thanked him and walked away glowing.
It was the best valentine yet.
