If you did not already know, I had the BIGGEST crush on him for about 2 years (although most of the time I just yelled at him and called him names, even when he would give me a ride home from school). Anyway, I went into K-Mart one day with my stepmom so I could buy some new bras. I actually had one in my hand and was holding it up to my chest when Michael walked by and just stopped and looked at me. He's so freakin' tall I could never have hidden from him. So I just smiled really big like I was dying of embarrassment and said, "What do you think about this one?" He just gave me a thumbs up and a wink and walked on. WHEW! @Jamie, I’m guessing you worked with Michael Patrick sometimes?

I won't say anything to ruin the illusion. =) Yeah, Bob Buckel called and asked if I would come intern over the summer. I even got paid! Everyone there was very, very nice. I just didn't get to do the stuff they said I would. I mostly did classifieds, then one day near the end of the summer they made me go interview an elderly man who collected marbles. I kid you not. He was a very nice man and he actually had some interesting stories about the marbles (different countries he'd been to when he purchased them, etc.), but I was really disappointed that that was the only real story they let me work on. Ah, well. It was really cool to help out on press days. I loved that part! @Jamie, Okay. I won’t say anything to ruin the illusion. =)
