Number 23

Damn it!!! Whenever I see him, I feel ridiculous. My eyes glazed over. "Best friend I think he's looking at me from the stage!" "Oh, wait, or is he looking over my head at the dj booth so they can cue his next track?" I'll go with the first one. My intention is always to play it cool like I'm just a casual fan. The real truth is I hijacked my best friend and drove over three hours to see him in a more intimate setting. That was only after seeing him once before live. Dude makes me goofy...on the inside. I am over thirty, yet crushing on him makes me feel like I'm twelve. I found out last week that he has the same birthday as someone who is very influential and close in my life. Immediately, I was like, "IT"S A SIGN!" A few weeks before that, I bought a VIP ticket to meet him up close this November. I'm practicing right now being nonchalant. I don't want my hands to shake or my knees to lock up when he takes a picture with me. My heart will be racing, and I may or may not have double vision. He doesn't even know me. I'm literally just the silhouette of a face in the crowd.
