you never know. [mark kanemura makes my day!]

so after a pretty awkward forensic meeting, and a day filled with some awesome times and some not-so-awesome, i guess i wasn't feeling all that well after coming home from applebee's.

i was just ready to go to sleep, and pretend like that day never really happened. i got my schedule, and it's alright. i wanna take physics, i guess. i don't know. that's not the point.

anyways, so i was just talking to akshay and some other kids about scheduline problems on facebook and somebody got offline, so i checked if there were other people to talk to on facebook.

and.. woah and behold, mister mark kenneth ioane kanemura himself was online.

so, why not, i thought. and i quickly opened his chat window and said helloomgimgaryandyou'rethebesteverpleasetalktomeomgaw. well, in a more courteous way.

.. he wasn't going to respond.

he's better than the little people, right? that's what happens when you become.. popular.

oh.
wait?
TYPING IMAGE?
omg.
*heart pounds*
.. typing?!
mark kanemura is typing?!
TYPING TO RESPOND TO ..

hi gary!!

.. :O this can't be. it has to be his sister or someone on his account. so i IM him back to make sure it is the .. one and only mark kanemura.

yup

asdlfkjasdfasdf. wow. do i sound stalker-ish or what? [and omg, he said YUP!]
* btw, i definitely knew it was him b/c he responded with a lot of "hahahaha's" (like who? ME!) and !!!!, which is like his signature thing in online speak. :*

and the conversation went on. for about 15 minutes, and it was great. the first five minutes or ten, i was freaking out while typing, not knowing what to say. this is one of my heroes, man, and he gets online and is talking to this random 16-year old asian kid?! no way.

but then i asked him about dance. and what he thought about me starting it.

you're never too old.

oh. really? that's .. awesome. he's a true inspiration. and yes, i even joked around like my joking self and said that maybe i'll become better than him!

you never know!

.. WOAH. i don't. and he doesn't. and all i need to do is try.

and.. yeah. so i talked to him a bit more but he had to get off. he didn't say good-bye, but i'm sure someone needed the computer too, hahah. but yeah, i REALLY hope i get a chance to talk to him again and maybe we'll become good online friends.

because hey.. you never know.
