Seth Green!

If I didn't have the autograph to prove it, I'd question whether or not this actually happened. It just doesn't seem real... The whole thing was amazingly lucky.
I went to Philadelphia this weekend to look at a college. After the open house, we had tons of time, so my mom and I decided on a whim to go to the Philadelphia Zoo. Maine doesn't really have any zoos, so that was exciting in itself. We hadn't gone too far when I saw a short guy with red hair and big sunglasses. I stared at him as he walked by, and I said, "Mom, I think I just saw Seth Green." She hadn't seen the guy and didn't think I'd really seen him, so we continued on. More than an hour passed and I didn't see him again. I was convinced I had seen him, and that was enough of a story for me. We were almost out of the zoo when we passed a building we had missed on the way in. I thought it was closed, but as it turns out, it was open. So we went in. My mom and I were the only ones in there, looking at different types of rare mammals. But then... The guy walked in. He had taken his sunglasses off and I heard him talk... It was totally him. He was with a woman and a baby and another couple, and that group and my mom and I were the only ones in the building. But he was on the other side of the room. So I tried to play it cool. I went to the other side, where he was, and started looking at the pygmy somethings. I kept glancing at him until we made eye contact. Then I felt creepy and I knew I had to say something.
I said, "I have to ask... Are you Seth Green?"
Completely straight-faced, he said, "No."
I said, "Really??" I wasn't questioning his answer, I was just amazed. He looked and sounded JUST like Seth Green.
Then he laughed and said, "No, just kidding. I am," and jokingly hit my arm.
I asked if I could have his autograph and he said, "Yeah, sure!", then waited while I dug in my purse for a pen. I finally found one, and he asked my name and how to spell it, and he signed my zoo map! I thanked him and left. Looking back on it, I wish I had said I was a big fan or something. Because I really am. But hopefully my facial expression said enough. Or something. Anyway, here's the autograph:
This was the first time I've met a real celebrity, and it was wonderful... He was so nice!

He seems like a really nice guy. I'd love to meet him too.
He' a fantastic actor! {thumb2}
