I’m not really one to be called a “crazy” fangirl. Sure I’m a girl and I’m a fan but honestly.. I’m in my twenties and that really isn’t my deal.

Ok so I waited for hours to see a few Harry Potter premieres, and maybe I went to go see some RPattz when he was filming “Remember Me” in the city. Twice. But it’s just that I live in the greatest city in the world, and hey, exciting things go on where I happen to live. It’s really more convenient than anything really!

So last November I was just going by my business at work in midtown Manhattan when Stephen Stohn had tweeted:

Times Square, being literally, blocks from where I worked, I tweeted Stephen telling him that I was going to see if their were filming during my lunch break. And I did just that. Want to know what I found?

Holy. Shit. Balls. Shame he's not legal..

I can’t even explain how CUTE he was. Like I’ve said before, I doubt this boy is 18 or whatever wikipedia is claiming. He’s tall and blue eyed and VERY handsome. Ugh, I’m not a creeper…

He was filming something for CTV when I was there and looked very preoccupied doing his thang. So I waited there and made some friends with one of the film crew guys (tip: make friends with ANY type of people involving filming!). He told me that he had some time before he had to go back up to MTV studios and that he would direct Landon to me first. At that point there were only about 3 other fans waiting to see Landon. But OF COURSE, the fact that we’re right smack dab in the middle of Times Square, we had a little group of passerbys there in an instant. Some lady asked me if I knew who that was, I told her and she had no clue but continued to keep standing there as if he was going to magically hand out some gold bars or something.

If you're a tourist, for gods sake, KEEP FUCKING MOVING. Sidewalks are small and this isn't some sort of scenic tour /endrant

By the time he was done, there was a decent crowd among us and from what went to “plenty of time for autographs” turned into “Landon only has a few minutes before he has to go back to the studio”. FUCK. But, the film crew guy was right on his word and had Landon come to me first. So I asked him if he could take a pic of us with my shitty Verizon cell phone.

So here I am, blubbering like an asshole asking Landon Liboiron for a picture, which he graciously said yes (!!) and the film crew guy is having trouble taking the pic with my phone. As we were standing there waiting for him to take it Landon goes, “Wow, that’s probably the girliest phone I’ve ever seen” talking about my pink case AND mini-mirror on the back. Needless to say I was dying at that point and just mustered some sort of giggle like an idiot. So film crew dude manages to fuck up and get back to my main screen, I fix it, and now the rest of the crew are getting restless bc he HAD to go back inside. So film crew guy tries again and he CLAIMS he took it. I get my phone back, after thanking Landon a million and one times like I had some sort of social anxiety issue, and there was no pic of us. Basically he lied because he couldn’t get his fat fucking fingers to press the button correctly.

So Landon signs a few more autographs and heads up, thanking everyone (soo adorable) and then he was gone. So I’m on my way back to work, giddy as a schoolboy, when I notice someone familiar walking the opposite direction of me.

Oh hi, creator of Degrassi, and the BEST SHOW EVER.

Now don’t ask me how I managed to recognize an executive producer when I’ve probably walked passed Chase Crawford and didn’t even know it. I guess his pic is on twitter, I’ve seen enough “behind the scenes” Degrassi things, and he’s actually spoken to me online directly before when he was active on degrassi.tv.. aaaaanyway… so Stephen Stohn was walking towards me and I knew I had to do something. So what do I do? I literally STOP HIM IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS TRACKS. I said something along the lines of. “Oh Mr. Stohn (AND I pronounced it “stone” like how it’s supposed to, I’m sure I got brownie points for that) I’m so sorry for stopping you but I just want to thank you for creating a really great show. I’ve been watching since I was 14 and I feel like I can definitely relate to so many of your characters.. blahblahblah.. thank you thank you thank you” you get the picture. And the man was SO SWEET. All he did was smile and say thank you back and say that he loves it when fans come up to him to tell him that. I told him all about how I got to meet Landon and take a pic with him. He was with an exec from TeenNick whom he graciously introduced me to. But wait, this gets better, following not too long behind him was actually Linda Schuyler (above in pic), Stephen Stohn’s wife and co-creator of Degrassi. So he introduced me to her and I basically spilled me love and devotion to her. I didn’t want to keep them long so I gracefully backed out of conversation so that they could get back to where they were going.

I tweeted Stephen Stohn later that day and he replied:

so cool.. And I’m glad you got to meet Landon

You could not knock off the SMILE off my face for days.

Oh and here’s one better. They were actually filming when I asked Landon to take a pic with me so you can actually see me on this little snippet about :19 seconds in and then again :57 seconds in. I’m in a purple/fuchsia hoodie and I’m ACTING A FOOL. The things we do for Degrassi.. eh?
