16 Sep 2006 - Maybe Chuck was Right

So, I hit the TIFF (yes, I'm THAT hip) with the Motherload a few nights ago. It was the gala for, "Bobby" - starring Demi Moore, Sharon Stone, Ashton Kutcher etc. etc. Mom held on to our seats and I hit the press line just in time to see Ashton! Unfortunately, I was a little slow on the draw, and only managed to get THIS picture of someone else’s camera that actually got a picture of him:

I learned my lesson, and made sure the next time I'd have my finger good n' ready to click... Pacey Witter's forehead:

Some joker standing beside me got his attention by quoting a line from "The Mighty Ducks". I was secretly envious that he was able to come up with something so fast - perhaps he thought of that before going in. Preparation hasn't always been my strong point.Now a seasoned paparazzi, I was perfectly prepared to snap the next person that walked around the corner... little did I know that it would be the fella I fantasised about in high school - he could've pumped up my volume ANY time - dirty:

Some chickie with nice tatters got a high five AND a picture with him. I would've, but I'm waiting for the mullet to grow out. Demi Moore was the next to walk by, but she went past in such a blur, my picture turned out too... blurry... Within seconds, this Stoner rounded the corner:

By this time, the lady on the loud speaker was practically begging us all to hit our seats. I made a beeline up the escalator just in time to snap THIS beaut in the theatre:

From left to right you got: some guy, some lady, Demi, some other guy, Pacey, Ashton, some girl, another girl, Sharon, William H., and Christian. The guy at the podium is Emilio...

So, that brings me to my subject line. Several years back I went out with this guy, Chuck. We got together pretty quickly after we met on College Street. I initially sat down with him because I thought I recognized him from somewhere - it turned out he was an actor and had appeared in such things as: "Are you Afraid of the Dark", "Avonlea" etc. I thought I knew him from around - meh. I remember on our first date we were walking along Palmerston, and he turned to me and asked if I was (and I quote) "A Star Fucker". I should've just turned on my heel and walked away, but I was already in too deep. I don't know what made me want to tell that story. Damn, I have to turn the air conditioning down.
