Fiiiiine well, I was lucky enough to beg/steal/buy/scavange a ticket for the Buffy Posting Board Party in LA in February 2003. So I spent all my student loan on my plane fare and off I went [img]tongue.gif[/img] Apart from doing cool stuff like visiting the Buffy sets and High School etc.. I met Eliza. LOL. At the PBP. Meeting Eliza was one of the most surreal experiences of my whole life. Yes, it is possible to look way better in person than on TV and she managed it. Damn that girl is fine. Managed to form words enough to ask her to sign my copy of Total Movie, she seemed really pleased I had a magazine of hers along with me. Then we bitched a bit about the red stripe they plastered across her front cover pic. Since I`m a cheeky sod I also managed to get an 8x10 signed. By this time I`m pretty light headed enough lol, only then she puts her arm round me for the pics she goes “Are you OK, you`re shaking” – which I was, cos I was scared I was going to faint or something. Anyway, that sets off the waterworks and I kind of blubber a No and then burst into tears. Ask any of my mates who will never let me hear the end of this... these aren`t sniffy tears but all out, sobbing like a baby tears. Argh the horror. So she hugs me and squashes me into her chest lol. She was soooo lovely and kept calling me sweet and stuff lol. And we talked for a bit and she said she liked my accent (if broad Northern works for you Eliza, that`s fine with me [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) Anyways that was the most fantastic, amazing and also embarrassing moment of my life! Lol. I felt a right noggin but everyone keeps telling me she was flattered lol.

Anywayyyyyy when I met her at the signing at Memerobilia in Brum last month.. she remembered me.. and hugged me again lol. I enjoyed Memerobilia but the PBP was the best, it`s relaly informal and friendlier. The stars hang around there rather than sitting behind tables where you have to queue and stuff. But she looked amazing there too... could hardly believe it was her.

*sigh happily*

Roll on the 3rd time [img]tongue.gif[/img]

(EDIT: Matt wants more details, well, I was in the queue, with my mates, we were having a laugh and we were all chatting loads to Elizas Mam and Eliza kept looking at us and laughing while she was signing for other people. When we got up to her she was all hey etc etc and signed my photo then she looks up at me, smiles this smile (cue me stopping breathing) and says "haven`t I met you before?" and I kind of splutter "erm yes... the PBP last year...etc" and she laughed and said she remembered and then she hugged me again and asked how I was, I was like fine etc etc and thanks for coming to England etc etc... and then we took some photos and left [img]smile.gif[/img] )
