OMG. Technology is too weird. Just realized Kal Penn is on Twitter. How WEIRD would it have been if I had tweeted:
hey @kal_penn, stop kicking my seat you hottie.
... and he read it. What would have happened? Would he have stopped? Apologized? Told me to eff off? Asked for my number whence I would have to decline giving my number to a cute celeb b/c of BF? The possibilities are endless and this world is WAY too small.

High School Reunion, Part 4
Ok, so I thought it would be funny and random. First night was funny and RANNNNNDOOOM.
Facebook bred a familiarity that was both reassuring and unnerving. I mean, at least I remembered a lot of people and kind of know what is going on in their lives because of it. But A LOT of people that I haven't seen in 20 years knowing my daily status was also a little strange.
I think I post to Facebook, or Twitter, or blog thinking no one actually reads it or cares... but wow, people know a lot about me.
Should I stop? Can I stop? Or am I addicted to the commentary and consequences be damned.

HIgh School Reunion, Part 3
OK, part of me seriously didn't think i would show up. I really thought I would cancel.
When I was in the car, I called JC to sanity walk me through this. Now I am convinced that it's going to be fine. If you hear from me. Its because I can not contain my snark.
ok, here goes...

Things I'm Thinking About My High School Reunion, Part 2
I already find myself self-editing so that I don't offend anyone. This is not the way to make for good bloggery. Just saying.
Things I'm Thinking About My High School Reunion, Part 1
1. How many people will be pissed if I don't recognize/remember them after 19 years?
2. How many people won't recognize/remember me after 19 years?
3. What do you wear to an outdoor door cocktail party when the weather forecast is a "feels like" over 100 degrees with a chance of thunderstorms?*
4. As my actual date can't come, I will be bringing Twitter instead. **
5. WTH isn't Marissa coming in from freakin' Jax? Ann's coming from Montana for chrissakes? ***
6. Why do reunions always have cash bars? They were MADE for open bar.
* NOTE: My gut says jeans and flip flops... but is that inappropriate knowing there will likely be people there in actual cocktail attire?
** Need someone to make snarky comments to... and hoping that no one besides Julie is on Twitter to read my inner monologue.
*** Who wants to stand in for "buddy pic 1994"?

Airplane Etiquette: Celebrity Sightings, Kal Penn
How do you handle spotting a celeb on a plane with you? Yes, there's the intimacy of being trapped in this uncomfortable tube hurtling above the Earth, but I feel like I'm stressed enough about flying, if I was famous, for SURE I wouldn't want people to call me out and engage me in conversation about my life.
Couple of lessons for the intrusive flight attendent who got excited about Kal Penn being on our flight and began a conversation that it was impossible not to hear.
1) Celeb or not, wearing headphones is the universal language of "Don't talk to me."
2) Repeat number 1.
REAL TIME @flloridagirlindc TWITTER FEED (except on flight, because aforementioned no wi-fi):
Kal Penn observations: really tall. So much so that he kicked my seat like a fucking toddler.
9:34 PM May 30th from web
Kal Penn observations: super nice to the flight attendent asking too personal questions.
9:33 PM May 30th from web
Kal Penn observations: much cuter in person than in Harold and Kumar.
9:28 PM May 30th from web
affirmative on the Kal Penn celeb sighting.
9:24 PM May 30th from web
wheels down DC!
9:23 PM May 30th from web
goodbye LA! hello window seat!
3:43 PM May 30th from web
and don't mock, he works at The White House now so its totally plausible and will make the flight back more fun to ponder.
3:37 PM May 30th from web
Celeb sighting at last second? Kal Penn possibly sitting behind me on LAX-DCA flight. Or his doppelganger. #LAX
3:36 PM May 30th from web
PS. Prior to this my fascination lied solely with a woman in first class who had what appeared to be a pile of blonde cotton candy surrounding her head like a lion's mane. I seriously tried to photograph her without being obvious but it was too fuzzy.
PSS. Kal (we're all first name now...) seemed like a nice guy. He starts in July at his new job, and I'm sure will be fun for all the single ladies in DC.
