I enjoyed EVERY WORD of this post<\/a>. She was an extra on the Hugh Grant\/Drew Barrymore movie Music and Lyrics<\/i> – and she’s basically in love with Hugh Grant, and her descriptions are absolutely hysterical. I love, too, how she’s sneaking photos the whole time.<\/p>\n

Here are some of my favorite lines from the post – she’s a very funny writer (but seriously – go read the whole thing <\/a>– it’s a delight):<\/p>\n

— I was more than pleased to learn that the people operating the various rides (last inspected in what seemed like 1974) were not drug-addled carnies but, in fact, 14 year olds with no prospects.<\/p>\n

— I had a brief but thrilling flirtation with an adorable camera guy.<\/p>\n

— Seeing Hugh made me giddy. But I’m no asshole, I know how to behave. I wasn’t about to go up to these actors and tell them that I’m a “fan” because, really, it’s the douchiest, and my name ain’t Massengil Collins.<\/p>\n
