AWESOME

[penmage]

We're having a meet and greet for one of our authors tomorrow morning, and we are trying to economize, so instead of buying a couple fruit platters and pastry platters like we usually do, I was in charge of purchasing orange juice, cream cheese and bagels.

I tried to order orange juice and cream cheese from Fresh Direct, but they require you to order $50 worth of groceries for a delivery.

So this morning, AJC (my awesome coworker, who will hereby be known in the LJ by those letters) and I went on a mission to Food Emporium to pick up the goods.

Along the way, we were accosted by a couple of women yelling "Free chocolate!"

Naturally, we had to investigate. We went to the M&Ms store, and outside it was a huge bowl of chocolate. They were giving out free chocolate.

And the person giving it out was Neil Patrick Harris.

That's right, my friends. Today Neil Patrick Harris gave me chocolate.

AWESOME.

ETA: This is what it is!

WHAT. JEALOUS.

[dungeonwriter.livejournal.com]

I am so jealous, it hurts! Is he as absolutely adorable in person as he is on screen?

[iamweebles.livejournal.com]

you lead a fairy tale life :)

See, that kind of awesome random is why I'm sad I left New York. ;)

[merriehaskell.livejournal.com]

You. Have. The best luck.

I am bringing Kaylee out of retirement to squee at you because NPH chocolate is just. that. awesome.

[glvalentine.livejournal.com]

That's a - wait for it! - stounding.

(Any particular reason, or did he just have a day off and desperately want to share the love?)

[onefishonly.livejournal.com]

This is what the "awesome" tag was made for.

[penmage.livejournal.com]

According to this, it is because America could use a reason to smile right now.

I will not argue with that logic when it gives me chocolate from the hands of NPH.

(debates whether to reveal her pop culture illiteracy by admitting she had to google "Neil Patrick Harris") (happy for you, though! :-))

Wow, that is legen... wait for it... dary!

LEGEN -I hope you're not lactose intolerant because the next word is DARY!

As important as free chocolate is, this is burying the lede. NEIL PATRICK HARRIS!

[coppervale.livejournal.com]

That is WICKED cool.

(BTW - have you seen the vid of NPH doing a scene from Les Miz?)

Also for future reference: it would be totally economical (and appropriate) that the next time we do a meet and greet, someone should make blueberry muffins.

Re: LEGEN -I hope you're not lactose intolerant because the next word is DARY!

[penmage.livejournal.com]

I know, right? That was my thought on the matter. If she had said NPH I would have been there superfast instead of casual speed.

Re: LEGEN -I hope you're not lactose intolerant because the next word is DARY!

[esc-key.livejournal.com]

NPH is one of only a few people who can claim superiority to free chocolate. This fact should be exploited!

[g33kgrrl]

THAT'S AMAZING.

The real question is - how do I find the Chicago free chocolate? And will Felicia Day give it to me?

[ninamazing.livejournal.com]

Here is how jealous I am:

JEAAAAALLOOUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSS

Actually, even more. HOMG. Does his smile sparkle in real life? ;)

[npkedit.livejournal.com]

That is tres cool!

[ashfae.livejournal.com]

Never have I so much missed living in New York. NEVER.

[ladyluna.livejournal.com]

You do realize that you have the most awesome life ever.

[penmage.livejournal.com]

TOTALLY SPARKLES. HE IS SPARKLRIFFIC.

(But not in the Edward Cullen kind of way. Because that would not be a little bit awesome.

PS--This is why you need to move to NYC. Because in NYC, you go on a routine grocery mission and end up with free chocolate and NPH.

[ninamazing.livejournal.com]

RIGHT. HE HAS A SPECIAL NPH WAY. :D

Oh, that is so awesome. Oh man. I wish I had pictures of the two of you. :D

MOVING TO NYC IS DEFINITELY IN MY PLANS. I WANT NPH CHOCOLATE IN MY LIFE. Post-graduation I will get a job there or BUST! And if MIT graduation doesn't work out I might look at NYC schools.

I smiled as I was reminded of this.

Awesome awesome awesome. Awesome!

[bitterpea.livejournal.com]

Okay, I was jealous of the author thing. But THIS? JEALOUS JEALOUS JEALOUS.

Oh, NPH.

Re: I smiled as I was reminded of this.

[jpallan.livejournal.com]

The single tear just clinches it, yes?

Re: I smiled as I was reminded of this.

[penmage.livejournal.com]

Yes! Just as you think the awesome is drawing to a close, it rises up again. Perfection.
