commander

The first time I went to their house party, I noticed her immediately.  She was the commander on one of my favorite television shows.  In the fucking flesh.  I couldn’t believe it.

Inside, I was feeling nervous and fan girling, as if I met an A-lister.  She wasn’t an A-lister but the fact that she was on a show that I watched religiously…within arms length from me was insane.  I’ve seen every episode of this show.  At least twice.

I did my best to chill and not appear like a crazed fan.  I approached her casually and we engaged in a somewhat lengthy conversation.   Afterward, I told my friends what a fan I was of this actress and they seemed very surprised because of my nonchalant behavior.

I’ve seen “the commander” multiple times since then.  Before I go over to greet her, I have to remind myself to calm down.  The other people at these house parties don’t even seem to give a fuck as to who she is.  They just don’t know…
