OMG I'm riding in an elevator with Seth Green!
Tuesday, March 14, 2006
There I was, straight off the boat, naive young Colorado girl, in the big city of L.A., just trying to make it...*screeching tires*...Ok, there I was, straight from the plane, lovely youngish Colorado woman, in L.A. for less than two hours, and I find myself in an elevator with Seth Green.Back up to Joy picking me up from the airport with a two foot long leopard print wiener plush toy with a black feather collar. We drove to downtown Los Angeles to have lunch with her Fiance Mark who happens to be a story board artist for The Family Guy,a cartoon on Fox. This was exciting for me because I have never met the love of her life. After lunch I got to tour the office of The Family Guy, and when I thought I could not be more impressed with the four kitchens and excessive amounts of free food (how many types of cereal?) there walks Seth Green, the voice of Chris on the show. I did not have my glasses on, but Mark pointed him out to us, so I hurried up to try and catch the elevator with him. He yelled out asking if we wanted him to hold the elevator for us to which we replied with a resounding YES. This was the last word out of my mouth as I then transformed into stupid star struck giddy girl. When we got in the elevator, I could do nothing but try to act cool and stare at him all squinty eyed. Did I mention that I was not wearing my glasses? *rats* He was so cute I could have drooled on him. This was not such a far off thought as my mouth was left wide open in awe. He asked us what floor we wanted to go to and rather than say one of the 10 witty things rolling around my tongue, I opted to be the smilely quiet girl in the corner. Luckily Mark found his tongue and we made it to the first floor. When we got out, Seth made a crack at us that we were lobby snobs because we were not headed down to the parking garage with him. It was very clever of him, and I was tickled. It was the one time in my life that I wouldn't have minded if I had been caught in the elevator for another 2 minutes.
In case you have been hiding under a rock for the last 20 years, Seth has been working since he was a kid. Remember Patrick Dempsey's younger brother in Can't Buy Me Love? Or how about Dr. Evil's son in all 3 of the Austin Powers movies? Any Buffy the Vampire fans? He was Oz, the resident werewolf in Sunnydale. There are many more, but these are a few of my favorites.
I immediately called DG the minute we stepped into the lobby and thought of the Friends episode where Chandler got caught in the ATM Vestibule with the Victoria Secret model. I was muffled, whispering into his voice mail that I had just seen Seth Green. We didn't have any other star sightings the rest of the week-end, but I got enough Seth Green to get me through.

I'm sure I wouldn't have done any better. He's got one of my favorite all time Buffy lines in the episode where she's telepathic. "I am my thoughts. If they exist in her, Buffy contains everything that is me. She becomes me. I cease to exist. Huh"
Although knowing that his recent work includes "Four Kings" and "Ratrace" may have cooled my Fangirl ways.
In all honesty, I get nervous when people at the gym talk to me, so I guess this would be a natural progression. Though I'm usually wet, toweled, or sweaty when I'm there.
yay for Oz in elevators and I love the new title image! :)
