My Night in Atlanta

I really don't know where to begin with my little story.  First, the reason I went to Atlanta was to meet my new region I will be working in with my job.  That's the only reason I went there, so I don't know why I said first.  We had an amazing dinner, I stayed at a 5 star hotel, and went to the 5 star hotel bar and, oh, I met Vince Vaughn. 

I was sitting with my co-worker, and I looked up and there before me was the 7ft best actor of all time.  I stood up walked straight up to him, introduced myself, and tried to get Vince Vaughn to hang out with me.  For some reason, he didn't want to.  I pulled the "I'm a southern girl from Jackson, MS" card, and that didn't even work.  I was so pissed that I then started to insult him to my other co-workers.  This awesome actor shook my hand, said "hello, nice to meet" you, and couldn't have been nicer.  I on the other hand was not.  I said, "You know he's not THAT famous.  I mean he hasn't even won an Oscar."  Who am I??  The embarrassment train didn't stop there either.

My 2 co-workers and I were not leaving while Vince Vaughn was there, I don't even feel I can call him by his first name.  At one point in the night, with some liquid encouragement, I went to Vince Vaughn's table, sat beside him, grabbed his face with BOTH hands, and said, "You know you're not as famous as you think you are".  His friend, The Enforcer, grabbed my hand and tried to steer me away from Vince Vaughn because I, not only, grabbed his face but insulted him.  My co-workers were laughing at me because they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

After the bar was closing, I decided to do a third try at hanging out with Vince Vaughn.  I told him, "Vince, I'm from Jackson, MS and it's not everyday I come to Atlanta and hang out.  Can't we all just hang out."  Both my co-workers were laughing at me because they couldn't believe what they were seeing.  It was also because they were so embarrassed, like I was when I woke up the next day.  The coolest thing thats ever happened to me, and I made a total idiot out of myself. 

If anyone knows Vince Vaughn, please tell him I apologize for being completely star struck and then insulting him because I was so upset he shut me down on hanging out with me.  My other co-worker did hang out with him.  He was acting way cooler than me/not like a psycho stalker.  I did find out that they remembered my name because The Enforcer had to stay busy keeping me away from his friend and because Vince Vaughn has a phobia about people touching his face.  Who wouldn't want a total stranger putting both their hands on their face at a bar???

So I do have some advice from my experience from meeting a super famous cool actor.  Don't talk to them too much because they don't want to talk to you no matter where you are from.  Don't go sit by them without them asking you.  Don't touch their face and definitely don't insult them.  If you follow my advice you will have a very pleasurable experience I think.  I will probably be depressed about my encounter for the rest of January, and I will definitely be embarrassed everytime I see one of his awesome movies.  If I ever see anyone famous again I am just going to my room because I've probably been black balled anyway.
