And I got to meet her when I was at SIGGRAPH!
Know this about me: I don't like speaking to people I don't know. I'm award and tall and I feel like I'm looming over people like some weird gargoyle statue. But I really couldn't forgive myself if I didn't say hello. I pretty much ambushed her and introduced myself.
What I wanted to say:
You're my hero! You're the smartest, most talented, most amazing woman ever! I want to get a job at Pixar just so I can look over your shoulder and learn EVERYTHING!! o___o The hair and cloth in Brave was AMAZING!! Teach me everything you know. RIGHT NOW!!!
What I actually said:
Hi, I'm Melissa. You're such an inspiration to me. ...bye.
Still kind of creepy, right? But at least I got to say hello. I wanted to take a picture... but that would have been too much. Or would it? Yeah, probably.
Squee!! #geekingout
