Star Struck

On Saturday, Ashley and I were leaving Gateway after a successful shopping trip (I got a really cute dress) and we were exiting the parking area. For some reason I looked at the car across from us at the stop sign. "That looks like Vanessa Hudgens," I said and then brought my gaze over to the driver seat and saw Zac Efron!! I immediately started freaking out and Ashley was yelling at me to turn around! There was no where to turn around and there were cops right there directing traffic. I felt hopeless, but Ash's persistance gave me the strength to make it possible to flip a U while stalling traffic as I couldn't quite fit. I had to Austin Powers it and do like a 3 point turn! We were looking for the closest parking space and drove past a guy conveniently reversing out of his space. I quickly kicked it in reverse and took his spot. I couldn't help but call Erin in the midst of all the commotion and I freaked out on her, then hung up. Ashley and I then slying waited on the corner for them to pass us and really make sure it was them...it was! Now the only natural thing to do at that point was to snap a picture of them from behind.

Exhibit A:

Zac then looked back and they begin to trot, soon turning into a full-on run. Ashley and I couldn't help but die laughing that they were actually running from us! So of course we continued to follow them. We weren't the only ones...this middle-aged man dashed past us wearing a button-down plaid short-sleeved shirt, I'm not kidding, in a dead sprint. We creeped on Zac and Vanessa to Urban Outfitters where they separated.

Me: Can I get a picture with you?

Vanessa: We're not really taking pictures right now.

Me: Oh, well, I really like your work.

Vanessa: (smiling) Thank you so much.

Across the store...

Me: "Can I meet you?"

Zac: (smiles) Yeah. (puts his hand out)

Me: (shaking his hand, touching Zac Efron) Hi, I'm Miriam.

Zac: Hi, Miriam, it's nice to meet you. (he said my name!!)

Me: Yeah, you too, I really like your work. (no, I couldn't think of anything else to say)

Zac: Thank you so much! I want you to have my babies.

Ok, so he didn't say that last part, but a girl can dream, can't she?

Outside the store we continue to freak out and ran into plaid guy. Turns out the plaid guy's wife totally made him run after them and he ended up getting their autographs! Why didn't we think of that?? Oh well, I'm just glad I snuck a picture of them before they could tell me no!

Exhibit B:
