Meeting Eli Roth

Okay. Let me gather my thoughts & think of that wonderful Thursday night... :))

So I had made my nifty “You are beautiful” posters that day. I had made a Basterds inspired one & a blueberry inspired one. ^^ My brother thought i was a big fuh fag for making one... But I've never shown Actors/directors my poster, and I wanted Quengtin/Eli to pop that cherry. heeyyoooo. pff.

So after an hour my brother is finally ready to go to the art show. It was a nifty place. I've always wanted a reason to travel to the artsy side of downtown LA... But no one ever wants to. :| Luckily Mark wanted to go, but only because it was Basterds. :)) Anywho, we go inside & all of the amazing posters for the benefit are hung up on the wall. WUNDERBAR. I'm going crazy, wishing I had mney to buy these posters. I either wanted the cartoonish one w/everyone's face on it or the one that looks like a metal band. It reminds me like it was “Job For A Cowboy” inspired. ^^

Right next to it I see the Bear Jew inspired poster... and I told Mark “Who the hell is that guy stan-OH MY GAA IT'S ELI!!!!” Right away my brother says “Stop being gay.” But I couldn't help myself. I paced... My heart felt like it was about to explode... I was in desperate need of a paper bag. I mean c'mon... IT'S THE BEAR JUDEN... OSO JUDIO... THEE BEAR JEW! :)) So I start to slowly approach my way to him with all the other hipsters surrounding him, complementing him & giving him woodies. lol

He's talking to these 3 ppl & I did not want to cut him off or anything, so I just stood there & woffed in his presence. He glanced at me once or twice while someone else was talking & grinned and i did it right back, and then he went back to finish talking to the 3 ppl. The whole time i'm commentating in my head, giggling to myself... lol My brother's like “STOP ACTING LIKE A FAG & TALK TO HIM!” So FINALLY it was my turn, or rather finally I butt in their conversation... They were talking about Thanksgiving being the best Grindhouse trailer & i'm like “Sorry, Machete wins that battle... and if you disagree then YOU JUST FUCKED WITH THE WRONG MEXICAN!” Eli laughs. :))))))))))

Then I say “Hi. My name's Cristina. Very nice to meet you...” We shake hands. I really wanted to tell him a LOT of things, some pretty intimate questions, but my brother was close by & I knew I had to keep things PG. :| hahaha But I was talking to him about ONTD & how some people/girls can be really really REALLY psychopathic & I tell him “But my friend Karin & I are the not-so-psycho fans. We're the ones that will laugh at all the cute things you say; The ones that will pay full price to watch Basterds for the 9^th time & quote you when we're having not-so-great days...” He smiles & was like “Aww, I'm glad to have fans like you guys.” :))))) Then he grabs/rubs my arm... pretty hard. O_O Like hey now... stop. My brother's like, RIGHT THERE. STOP. But don't stop. BUT KEEP GOING. ohmy. ROTFL.

I knew in the back of my mind that Mark had somewhere to go after the art show, so I had to make things quick... So all the main things I wanted to say regarding Basterds was shot out & I had asked him if I could take a quick faux toe & he's like suure! & I'm like "okay, don't freak out ((whips out posters)) I've got these posters see... I have this thing where if anyone inspires me by what they say or do or if they're just plain amazing I like to say “You are beautiful.” I've shown it to musicians like Slayer, Dresden Dolls, Regina Spektor and so on, but i've never had the opportunity to show it to Actors or Directors for that matter. So, yeah. Thanks for being so amazing. :))” He's like awwwww that's so sweet. He hugs me. I get into my TEE HEE mode. I'm on cloud 9 billion by now. ^^ Apparently when I first took out the posters he gave a “wtf is this?” face, but I kept eye contact on my posters. It was very hard to gaze at him. I was afraid I'd cry @ any moment. :| But I didn't, so wooo! :] As we were about to take pics he's like “take off your sweater... aren't you hot in this? ((grabs me again. ahhhhhh)) & I'm like “Uhm. If I take off my sweater I'm afraid you won't want to take a pic w/me. See, my lovely '09 champs the LA Lakers take on the, uhm, Celtics today, and I be showin my pride don't cha know...” & he LITERALLY tells me “G.T.F.O.!” UHM. WHAT? I KNOW you didn't just text talk to me. smh. -_- I chuckled on the outside, definitely NOT on the inside. :| bahahahaha And boom goes the dynamite.

I found out that once I left Omar and Levine got there. -_-

Quentin was in LDN so there was no way of mtg him. :[

Next time. Hopefully there will be. :))

*sigh*. I think Eli & I would TOTALLY get on.

Like, totally.
