My Brush with a Reality TV Star 

Yes I know! People love to give me crap about this but I love reality TV. I watch shows like Survivor, Big Brother, Amazing Race and so on. I'm also a fan of a little show on NBC called Last Comic Standing.

Last night's show was tense, three comics had to compete head to head to see which one comic would be eliminated. Would it be Corey, Alonzo or John?! Who was going to be in the FINAL FIVE?! I've always been a big fan of John Heffron so I didn't want to see him go. Of course I'd already hung out with him throughout most of Saturday evening/Sunday morning so I already knew he was in the final five.

Although I was kicking myself for not asking him who was in the final two... but then I realized that he wouldn't have known that. The only real tip was that he made it to the final five. Its at the point in the show now that people can phone in after each episode and vote the comics through to the end. So it's all up in the air still. I say vote for John! :)

Okay so here's my story. Saturday night I headed out to dinner with my friend Johnny, then we went to Toranado on Haight, then The Top. Around midnight I headed over to my friend Shawn's birthday bash at his loft space. The party was already winding down by then so I wasn't there long. Another friend showed up and we took off. Then I got a call from yet another friend who suggested we head over to this all night "speakeasy" type place. Basically it was an after hours club that served alcohol all night and had a dj etc. Members only. Since my friend was a member we got in.

The crowd was semi yuppie-ish but okay overall. It got more crowded as the bars let out and overall it was a nice setting. A basement club type place. Anyway, I was sitting around and saw this guy from across the room by the entrance. I pegged him almost immediately. John Heffron! My friend went over and asked him at my bequest what his name was. Yup it was him! He came on over and was apparently very drunk but I couldn't really tell. He was very nice and very cute in person. He was also pretty chatty so it was cool hanging out with him. I won't go into to much detail other than to say that he's getting married this coming weekend, so congrats to him! Although now that he's a semi-famous comedian tv show guy he's probably getting lots of hot chicks coming up to him all the time for... oh you know.

Darnit! All the super cute, nice, job having, career having, sucessful guys are taken.  Okay not all, just the ones I happen to maybe spark an interest for. And knowing me that's like two maybe. I'm generally attracted to commitment-phobic, emotionally unavailable,  jobless, no career future type guys that are out dating multiple women at the same time (at least one, some or all of the former). I'm going to die alone with 6 cats and 5 dogs. Being that I'm a knitter I'll sit around and knit little scarves for all of them while listening to "All By Myself" by Shelby Lynne. It's good to have goals.

Cool story --- wondering if (since he was drunk), was he flirty with you, despite him getting married soon? Or was he just a nice friendly guy?

you sound so snarky today. heehee. i will move to Cali and be your beighbor and we can sit on our porch and knit together and gossip about people because i am right there with you, woman. Except my type is commitment phobic, emotionally unavailable, grumpy, alcoholic, punk bastard-esque, apathetic, insecure yet smug, unfriendly and usually somewhat overweight. I'm fucking fabulous. I mean, really. There is someone out there who dreams about me, because hell if that is the kind of guy I go for, then there has to be someone for everyone, right?
Yeah, I didn't think so, either.

love ya
