Embarrassed, restless and Heath Ledger

Strange days at NYU, never cease to amaze me. It never seems to be all good. Today (Fri. Sept 21st) was pretty good. I got to sleep until noon, which is always f***ing amazing, then I hung out for the rest of the afternoon. After dinner is when the amazingness of the night happened:
I was at Virgin records with my friend and some one walks past me, and I recognize the voice. I turn around and this guy is standing right in front of me. I turn to my friend Vanessa and I'm like, "That looks like the back of Heath Ledger's head."
She's like, "You freak, how would you know that?"
And I'm like, "I dunno, but that guy looks a h*ll of a lot like Heath Ledger."
So we have a talk about it, and he turns around and it's . . . HEATH LEDGER!
I'm real embarrassed cuz we're like talking about him and he's right in front of us and I am shocked that its him, so I start hyperventilating and run away. I'm a few rows away when workers come up to me and they're like, "Is it true?" I point at him, and I'm like, "That's Heath Ledger.", and he turns and looks at me. So I run away again.
I spent the next few hours calling people on the phone and bothering the people in 3rd North. I was reinacting the entire scene. I embarrassed myself in front of my floor mates, hot Brett from the 14 floor, and this girl from my Storytelling Strategies. It's actually quite sad, but I was excited and in awe.
Plus I embarrassed myself in front of Heath Ledger. Who else can say that?
