So, Audrey, what has been the most exciting part of your trip, thus far? What made your hands shake and your knees knock? Was it seeing Buckingham Palace? A performance of Macbeth in Stratford upon Avon? Going backstage at the National Theatre (which was terrific, by the way)? James Bond Night?
No, no. None of that.
The most exciting thing happened to me last night. After seeing Saint Joan at the National Theatre, I met John Lithgow!
AHH!
It was awesome. Before the show, some of the guys had spotted a few celebs in the audience. John Lithgow, Ed Harris, and Alan Rickman were all at the National last night. Lithgow was sitting only about 15 feet away from us! He was there with what I'm assuming is his son. Anyway. As I was leaving, after the performance, I looked behind me and THERE HE WAS!
At the coat check, I had to say something. I just couldn't pass it up. So, in my high nervous voice came a little "Mr. Lithgow?"
"Yes?" (He smiled at me!)
(All in a rush now) "I thought you were amazing in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels!"
"Thank you! You're so sweet!" (awesome handshake)
And then I turned bright red, wished them a nice night, and started bouncing around like a balloon losing its air.
That was awesome.
Oh, and everything else is cool, too. hahaha
So what's this all about, anyway?

- Either by accident, or because you're just that unlucky, you've stumbled upon my brand-spankin'-new Blog! If all goes well, it'll be my travel journal for this summer, full of stories and pictures from my term at the University of Oxford. If you don't know me, here's some info: I'm 21, naturally blonde-ish, and double majoring in history and English for secondary education at a not-so-well-known university in Michigan. Anyway. Just read the blog. It should be a fun ride.
