Get Mortified

I'm doing Mortified again tonight at King King and in honor of it, thought I would post a little exchange between myself and Thomas Ian Nicholas, star of Rookie of the Year and object of my obsession as a pre-teen. We worked together over email on a project and now I will share with you the final email exchange.

Me:
By the way, I have a funny story to share with you. I don't know if you've heard of mortified but it's basically a reading series where people read from their childhood diaries and it's quite hilarious…I did it a few years ago and your name was mentioned a few times in reference to the crush I had on you as a 12 year old. Very innocent stuff but it got big laughs b/c a lot of it was my small town east Texas idea of what Hollywood is like. Anyway…the best line is at the end of one of the entries I say "if I ever meet him I will tell him how much joy he brought to my summer." So that's what I'm doing now…fulfilling that promise to my 12 year old self. I just thought it was funny and wanted to share :)

Him:
too funny... You're welcome and its a pleasure to finally meet you :)
Thank you so much for sharing that story with me...

I wish I could go back in time and tell 12 year old Reagan all about this. I would also tell her about the time Debbie Gibson randomly sang Lost in Your Eyes at a Rilo Kiley concert. Her little head would probably explode.
