Like a dog in space

I went one more time to the play to see Gale today, it was the last showing. (Next weekend the theater does a different set of plays, Gale was only in this one.) I went with two friends, but I'm leaving out what their experiences with Gale were, because they're more private than me; I have to squeeeee. XD

So the play was amazing again. Gale did even better, if that's possible. His timing was right on. <3 AND HE IS SO PRETTY. *cough*

After the play ended, instead of escaping back stage to change and run off like he did the other two times, Gale stayed on stage where the other actors were talking to friends and family. So my friends and I got up to go see if we could say something to him without being annoying. Tonight there were other fans, no one I knew I think??? It's hard to tell in real life, it's not like we have IDs that say our LJ names. XD So a few were in front of us, and we waited while they got autographs and pics.

Then all of a sudden Gale is RIGHT THERE in front of me. And okay, you know how he has hazel eyes? I have NEVER gotten such a good look at them. They're way lighter than I expected, and have like... kinda warm maybe coppery flecks in them a bit. I know this, because the stage lights were bright, and because it was such a small theater and so loud, he had to duck down to where I could SMELL IS FACE to hear me. XD

So I stammered out some stuff! XD My friends tell me I sounded calm and confident, although I totally think I was a blithering idiot. It went a little something like this:

Me: Hi, Gale. *big smile*
Gale: Hi. *looks at me like okay, what?*
Me: I saw you in Orpheus Descending!
Gale: Okay...
Me: And I really enjoyed it! And it inspired me. I've been publishing writing since I was a kid, but I never did playwriting. After I saw you in that play I wrote one, and it was performed in Denver!
Gale: Congratulations! *impressed look*
Me: Yeah, I'm hoping to be able to have more plays produced.
Gale: This kind of thing is a good experience, then.
Me: YEAH! *too ethusiastic like a spazz* I mean, it's so great that you guys are supporting young writers. I published, but I never had an opportunity like this. It's so fun to see what young writers like I was are doing!
Gale: Thanks.
Me: .....SO ANYWAY. THANKS. *probably wayyyyy too affectionate expression, the kind you give to your boyfriend or pet dog or something haha*

AND THEN I touched his arm, even though it was covered by a jacket and coat since he was still in costume AND I FELT HIS BODY HEAT. GUH. (Oh gross, I'm such a fangirl. XD)

Then my friends talked to him, and had the opportunity to give him a small token gift, it was kinda fun and silly. Gale took it, looked at it, and STUCK THE TIP OF HIS TONGUE OUT IN AMUSEMENT.

That's when my friends and I all lost our ability to stand without trembling.

Once my friends were done talking to him, we wobbled towards the exit. We hung out for a few more minutes just to watch him from the back of the theater because it's damn hard to walk away from that man. Then we left, and my knees were shaking so hard I almost fell down the stairs. ^_^;;

That's really it. We really chose not to ask for autographs or pictures, because he was really getting surrounded by lots of people that wanted them. I already have his autograph and a couple pictures from last time, I figured I wouldn't annoy him with more. That way the people that don't have them would have more opportunity for a good experience with him. :)

To sum up: No other man has ever made my legs that weak. He is the most beautiful man I've ever seen, with sparkly hazel eyes and perfect hair and he smells totally natural - no cologne or anything, just a very... fresh... sexy... man-smell. GUH.

Once again, you can share this, but please let me know where. ^_^
