Okay, so in the last post I stated that I only cared about seeing two celebrities. Well, apparently there is one more.
I watched "Lost" religiously. I watch "The Vampire Diaries" religiously. In each case, my favorite character was played by Ian Somerhalder. Boone and Damon, respectively.
My husband also loves "The Vampire Diaries" (VD from here on out), but don't tell him I told you that because he'll deny it. He's also a big fan of Damon.
Well. A month or so ago we were riding our bikes on the beach and there was a HUGE event going on. We're talking huge. So we stop and look but then ride on.
We then see an ad for the CW and Bing search engine featuring Ian and VD. And they show footage of the Ian Somerhalder Foundation, including a beach clean up.
I'm sure you're seeing where this is going....
So I see this ad a hundred times and I think nothing of it.
Jason sees it once and says, "Uh, Shasta - that was that event." And I brush it off because I have no idea what he's talking about. So we see it again. And he says, "Shasta. I hate to tell you this but that was that event we rode by and stopped." It suddenly clicks in my head. NOOOOOOOOO!!! My response was, "Well, that makes me very sad."
At least I saw Obama. Ish.

So today I was running at my favorite running spot - LAX. I love running there because it's a huge rush to have these huge planes take off right over your head.
Well, today I was running and I noticed a huge police presence. I mean, it felt like every other car was a police car. But I thought nothing of it and kept running.
Soon, I realized that I hadn't seen a plane take off. Odd. Yet I still thought nothing of it.
As soon as I went to turn around, five massive helicopters took off, directly over my head. Five massive military helicopters. Literally directly over my head. It was really cool to watch them fly off into the sunset.
So I knew this had to be huge. It had to be someone political and very famous. Politicians are really the only celebrities I care about seeing, other than Gary Oldman and Stephen King. So I really wanted to figure this out.
So I Google Obama. Nothing.
I Google Biden. Nothing.
I Google Romney. Nothing.
But do I give up? No. I keep Googling. (I have no idea if Google as a verb should be capitalized and "Breaking Bad" is waiting for me so I'm not taking the time to look.)
So back to the point - I keep looking. And this is what I find:

Yep. Obama is hanging out with Clooney.
I totally saw Obama. Or his helicopter, but whatever.
I totally should have waved. I wanted to. I should have.
And I forgive that bad driver in the SUV who almost ran me over trying to look.
