If the overexcitedness of the subject frightened you, you may as well stop reading now because this entry is likely to be a mess of gramatical errors, big giant exaggerated emoticons, and general fangirl-squeeage. I would apologize in advance except a) I just met my favorite person and thus should be cut some slack, and b) it's my journal and if you're going to tell me how to use it then I'm going to have to tell you to kindly go eat some poptarts because they're nice and stop bothering me. :D
Okay.
The show was, in a word, AWESOME. And hilarious. AND I GOT UP ON STAGE AND DID SHIT. (I mean, when I was supposed to... not, like, just randomly in the middle of the performance. ^^;)
And also? HE KNEW WHO I WAS. I mean like, he freaking knew who I WAS! I've emailed him a couple times over the last few years and through some little chain of events he nicknamed me 'MAFE' - Most Awesome Fangirl Ever - and he continued to remember me by that (as well as my real name) for a really long time, and he knew who I was in the flesh too. Ahhhh!
But. I'll finish talking about that in a sec. I'm gonna start from the beginning because this is just that awesome.
So, yes, I went to his X-Files improv show, which is actually the funniest thing I've seen in a while (and I've seen some hilarious shit recently). It's a lot like Whose Line Is It Anyway, except it's him performing alone/with audience members, and the whole thing relates to XF/TLG. I don't know how else to summarize it besides that (and also, of course, that it will make your face ache from laughing your ass off... somehow. ;P)
Anyway, I don't know how much of the audience was really into the X-Files or him, but I doubt many of them were as big an XF dork as me. 8D There was one moment in particular that seemed to suggest this, because Dean had just performed a little skit which somehow involved mention of a cow (I don't remember why) and I was like "But Langly hates cows!" and he said to me, "Oh yeah, because of the episode in the spinoff where I had to stick my hand up a cow's butt? ...Wow, you really did watch the show didn't you?" xD
So, yes, the part where I got to get onstage was the grand finale of the show (teehee) and he's like, "I need a volunteer." So I had a total Monica-from-Friends moment inwhich I was like AHHHHHHHHHHH PICK ME! So of course he picked me, and the audience was probably like "Oh my god, scary American person. o_o;;" But I didn't care, I just wanted to get up onstage with Dean, because I'm out of my mind like that, and, and, oh my god.
If any of you know the game on Whose Line where the audience member has to move the actor's limbs all around to perform the scene? Well, I was the audience member and he was Colin Mochrie (or whoever.) SO BASICALLY I GOT TO MOVE DEAN HAGLUND ALL AROUND AND IT WAS REALLY FUN. The scene we were doing was that he was moving in to fight this big leper alien (long story, hah) ...and... and yeah. Too many moments of hilarity to even write them all down. Livejournal's servers would break because of this entry alone. :O
After the show I met him and got autographs and everything. :D And like I said before, he totally knew who I was already. :') He was like "I'm so glad I finally got to meet you!" *_* I probably made a total fool of myself in front of him, but oh well... What can you do?
( PICTURES!! )So, thus concludes the story of my meeting with Dean Haglund. And I'm pretty much maxed out in the OMGIJUSTMETDEAN department. I think I need to sleep on this one before I can take in any more of the epicness of what just happened.
