OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD!!!!!

STEPHEN COLBERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

I can't believe I forgot flash!!!! but AUTOGRAPHS, TOO!!! And I GOT TO GIVE HIM A HUG!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

It's probably best described in proper fangirl fashion, so here's my conversation with Rachel B from immediately afterwards.

Me: STEPHEN COLBERT!!!!!!!!!!!
Rachel: Oh ;-) How was it?
Me: http://www.theninemuses.net/pics/stephencolbertotp.jpg
Me: I can't believe I forgot flash
Me: HE IS SO GREAT AND WONDERFUL AND HE GIVES GOOD HUGS AND HIS AUTOGRAPH IS LUVVERLY
Rachel: *laughs*
Rachel: "otp"?
Me: One True Pairing
Me: <3
Rachel: *giggles*
Me: And I told him the Jews of Wash U think "This Week in God" is brilliant, as per your request.
Rachel: Was he funny?
Rachel: *dies!* Thanks! What'd he say??
Me: he said "Ah, the Jews." And was generally delightful. I was too busy thinking STEPHENCOLBERTOMGSTEPHENCOLBERTISGIVINGMEHISAUTOGRAPH
ANDOHDOYOUTHINKHEWOULDLETMEGIVEHIMAHUG? to actually remember what he said.
Rachel: *grins* I can tell. I'm glad you got a hug
Me: yay!
Me: autograph: http://www.theninemuses.net/pics/stephencolbert2.jpg
Rachel: *laughs*
Rachel: So I'm guessing you missed Smallville ;-)
Me: At one point, he asked for volunteers from the audience, and without thinking, I raised my hand. After picking two others, he picked me! I was so thrilled that it wasn't until I got onstage that I realized that the other two were obvious plants, and I had no script!
Rachel: *giggles* Oh dear. What was it all for? What happened?
Me: I was the definition of "not funny".
Rachel: Mope? What'd he do to you!!
Me: but it was okay, because I got to shake his hand, and it gave me an excuse to go after him after the show for his autograph and the hug etc. and apologize for not being funny. XD
Rachel: I see :-)
Rachel: Lucky Scilla :-)
Me: He tried to make me funny, and we both failed. I just wasn't funny at all, though I tried to come up with funny things. Improv just can't compare with scripting.
Me: bad improv, mind you. I have no skill for improv. Deer in headlights.
Rachel: Ha! You?
Rachel: You have no concept of fear.
Me: yup. believe it or not. I can't be funny on command, especially in the presence of comedy gods.
Me: I wasn't afraid, I just wasn't funny.
Rachel: Oh well. I think you're funny :-)
Me: and yes, I missed Smallville.
Rachel: Except when you're violating my sweetie bear.
Me: *laughs*
PriscillaofDomm: mmmm, Clark!

I spent the entire rest of the show wondering if there was supposed to be a third plant, and how he could have confused me for one of them, if he had, as Mask and Wig is all-male. He told me afterwards that I look exactly like one of his friends from High School, so that might have been the reason. XD

I'll post photos from the show tomorrow. Now, I must finish my LotR paper! Onwards! *zooms*
