OH MY FUCKING GOD.

I haven't even finished reading this yet, and I was going to bed at a decent hour, I swear to god. But, but, but...

Seriously. I just squeaked. It was embarrassing, and no one's even home to hear me.

I'd have completely fucking died. I am in awe of your ability to still type.

Right, yes. Off to read the rest.

Okay, back now. Still in awe of you. You rock like...something that rocks really hard...for being calm and polite and not just, you know, passing out on the floor.

(Hi. It's possible my avoidance-of-famous-people tactics were developed for a reason. Remind me to tell you about Dicky Barrett sometime.)

Also, what a nifty photo! And I'm with you on the relative-friend-agent idea. *pulls tin hat firmly down*

meresy was trying to call you earlier to tell you he was in town, btw.

Bessai joked that he'd probably gotten shy and ducked out for a smoke

Let's not talk about my in-progress CKR/Roy Dupuis commentfic, okay? Because...yeah.

(Roy Dupuis is also in Toronto for the festival. c_regalis has the article.)

Oh hon. I'm sure you're not that bad. And who's Dicky Barrett? :-)

Thanks for letting me know meresy was trying to warn me about possible Callum signings in advance. It was really shocking to see him there but I think I recovered gracefully. I was quite a bit more cool and collected than I thought I'd be. Maybe he puts out a calming vibe.

And yay for CKR/Roy Dupuis RPS!

*g* I had to teach early this morning so I did manage to get about three hours. I've spent the whole day on cloud nine (Callum! Live!). And I was very proud of myself for staying cool and not, y'know, licking him all over or anything.

OMG YAYAYAYAY!!!!!!! That is so awesome! I love it when actors at festivals turn out to be normal and sane and approachable (instead of annoying divas that make everything a pain for everyone).

Also, look at him smiling!! And they fixed his bridge so his one weird tooth don't distract me from his face. *beams*

Oh, yay! I'm so filled with happiness for your night! \o/

Hi, I'm back and staring at the photo some more. Is he really all skinny again? Because he looks skinny-ish, but the way his t-shirt is falling, it's hard to tell.

What I love most is how happy he looks! And the necklace makes me laugh. *g*

*g* I never thought Callum would be a diva (he seemed to be much too popular among the cast and crew of the film to come away with that rep) but he was so very kind and patient with my tech woes. And yes! That smile! Hands on hips! He actually didn't seem that skinny (I think my camera might have been at a weird angle); he looked about the same size as in "Wilby Wonderful". And he *was* happy! Very calm and relaxed, and clearly having fun.

Oh, and that necklace is actually his TIFF badge that he flipped around and hid under his coat, presumably so the laminated pass wouldn't catch a glare in photos ops (or so I like to think).

Aha, that's it! I was staring at the photo trying to figure out what was different about his smile.

You're welcome! I'm glad it was overwhelming and !!!-inducing (always an acceptable response to stories of RL Callum encounters!)

EEEK! You were in the same room! As Callum! And you SPOKE TO HIM and didn't either flail or mumble and pass out! And you got a good picture!!

*flails for you*

EEEE!!!!
