sheryl Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 We live in a large homeschooling community/city and state. We belong to an on-line homeschooling support group. It's similar to wtm but at a local level. Across the local board came the opportunity to volunteer as an "extra" in a Christian movie (this past Friday). It might be used for in-church only (not box office); I'm just not sure. I signed up. They could not use me but they did select dd. This was "not" a speaking part, but an extra. DD does NOT aspire to be an actress but it was such a great, new and fun opportunity that we couldn't pass it up. Only 40 min. from us. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE was so friendly. From cast to crew, the people were nice! One of the crew members and it "might" have been the cameraman was on the crew for the series "Turn". I don't know if it was him or not. But a man was working a Steadicam and was so nice. During a break I quickly walked to the restroom. He was walking down the aisle with the camera and saw me approaching. Our eyes met and I went "oh boy!". He said it was ok meaning to come his way but his equipment was so big and expensive I didn't want to jeopardize anything so I rerouted my way to the bathroom. Then "he" appeared. He is a very well known actor in Christian circles especially. DD asked for a selfie with him to which he agreed! Then I did it. I became giddy and said, "we have all your movies". UGH! I sounded like a teenage groupie and was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO embarrassed. He stayed humble and I was beside myself. LOL! Can I blame it on the fact we were there for 11 hours? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneStepAtATime Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 :laugh: :grouphug: My mom babbles when she gets nervous. She can't help it. She will babble her whole life story if she is nervous. Which is soooooo embarrassing for her because she is also a very private introvert. She absolutely hates her nervous babble response. DD has a friend that, when she gets nervous, freezes in place and stops talking. She goes into statue mode. Never seen anything like it. At least you didn't have either of those two responses.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tenaj Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Aww . . I'm sure he's seen worse responses :) When I get nervous, my neck and face turn bright red. My Mom's does too and now I have a daughter who reacts the same way so it must be hereditary. So embarrassing . . . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrincessMommy Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 how fun and exciting. I just clam up when I'm nervous. I would have pretended I didn't see him and moved quickly away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendy not in HI Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Sounds like a fun weekend. I get a shaky voice when I'm nervous, and I sound like I'm about to cry! Waaa! I hate that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenCat Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I think that's a normal reaction, when you aren't used to it....... I had to get over it when I had a relatively famous country celebrity's child in one of my homeschool tutorial classes. He and his wife both regularly volunteered and were often present at activities (wife always was); it was kind of funny though, because at first I thought he just looked familiar but couldn't figure out why....... Over the years, there were at least two other families in that category, from country and christian groups, along with many behind the scenes people, between our tutorial and our homeschool groups, so I kind of got over it, they're just people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happi duck Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 If either of you who mentioned it want to share...I want to know who the famous people were! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Haha! I have a friend who was a groupie for a country music star who was semi big in the 90's. She saw him at a smaller venue a couple years ago and he still knows who she is. She says she was quite embarrassing, including hyperventilating and passing out when talking to him more than once. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraidycat Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Sounds like a fun weekend. I get a shaky voice when I'm nervous, and I sound like I'm about to cry! Waaa! I hate that! Me too! Actually, I do feel like I AM going to cry. Edited January 24, 2017 by fraidycat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
