Note: This meeting is in no way exaggerated. Unfortunately. Oh, just for the record, I like noses.
I met Joseph Smith. Yup it was really him. Beautiful blue eyes, a great nose, a little on the short side, but who is complaining?
My friend Sarah and I went to a special showing of one of those Joseph Smith movies that independent film companies like to make. The movie was playing at a small theatre in downtown Harrisburg. About 25 people showed up most of them old. My bishop and his wife were there. Jared Riddick was there (YSA BOY).
I walked in the theatre and across the lobby I saw HIM. Remember that scene from West Side Story when Maria and Tony see each other across the dance floor, yeah pretty much the same thing, for me anyway. I walked towards HIM and as I approached I said in a very shaky voice "Good job".
GOOD JOB!? of all the things I could say to the guy who plays Joseph Smith in the "Restoration" movie is GOOD JOB?
It gets better.
I walk into the theatre. Then the full realization of who HE is overtakes me.
I start to hypervenilate. I start to whisper VERY LOUDLY. I said something like this. . .
B-OH MY GOSH DO YOU KNOW WHO THAT IS??? THATS THE GUY! THE GUY WHO PLAYS JOSEPH SMITH IN THAT MOVIE
S-what movie? what are you talking about?
B-DID YOU SEE HIS NOSE??? THAT HOW I KNOW! HE HAS THE BEST NOSE EVER!!!!!!
S-Beth I am pretty sure he can hear you. . .
B-HE IS SOOO FREAKIN' HOT!!! HOLY BUCKETS!!! DO YOU THINK HE IS MARRIED? I DIDN'T GET A CHANCE TO LOOK AT HIS LEFT RING FINGER. . .OH I JUST LOVE HIS NOSE. . .
Anyway, I continue in this manner until the movie starts. As I watch the movie I am physically shaking. . .
Afterwards HE and his friend are selling DVD's of the movie we just watched. I got enough nerve to ask him if I could get my picture taken with HIM. HE smelled good. I told HIM that HE is my favorite Joseph Smith EVER! Except the real one of course. I wonder what my reaction will be when I do meet the real Joseph Smith. . .
So when I get home, this immediatly becomes my facebook profile pic. And I proceed to stalk him on facebook. In about 10 minutes I find him and discover. . .he is married (sigh). he even has a kid (sick).
For the next month everytime I got on facebook I stroked the screen. Marshall told me I was creepy.
But really. . .Wouldn't you have done the same???
if you want proof here is a link to the 'Restoration' movie on lds.org.
