I doubt that I would be able to go... but if I did I don't think I would get much out of it; the way I am right now the first sight of Benedict and I would be on the floor. Out cold.

gently, I'll keep my fingers crossed that it'll work out for you!
Hopefully "Hamlet" as well as the Convention will be announced well in advance, so that there's enough time to negotiate for a few days off with our bosses... and to rob a bank.

Then again, maybe you'll surprise yourself and the moment you finally see him you'll be completely calm all of a sudden.

I doubt that. I really doubt that! The only thing I can hope for is that he would help me up or catch me... if that ever happened my heart would stop. But a good way to go I reckon!

He is just too handsome for words...

He is, indeed.
As for not falling to the floor at the sight of him: Stranger things have happened. It is possible, believe me.

Here's a flash from the not-so-distant past. It was the first time I realized how gorgeous Benedict was. Totally dominated the screen. (sorry about the grainy screenshots)

Ooh he's so....imposing.

I watched that movie last night. I don't think I will recover for a long while... There's a scene where he is being so evil and he smiles... That killed me on the spot!

I would hope that I could stop myself from fainting if I got the chance; I suppose it is sort of like a panic attack (only a nicer one).

Amazing presence. And I cannot stop laughing about "I am better. At what? At everything (acting)."

Has he been drinking cough syrup? lololol

Yes, and I often seem to hear the angels singing when I look at him. Delish.

What is that combo of clothes he has on? He looks deliciously debauched. Or something. And there he goes, touching himself again..... thud

Absolutely. Zachary is a great Spock, and Chris obviously studied Shatner und did a good job as Kirk... but KhanBatch rules!

He looks like he's woken up in some girls house after a wedding. Love the casual tee shirt under the smart exterior. He can fondle his hair as much as he likes - it makes up for the fact I can't do it for him!

I don't know what I'd do if I saw him but I know one thing. My eyes would be fixed on his.....

I'd say those are behind the scenes-pics from a photo shoot... I recognize the tie and the shirt and the waistcoat... and on the pic from the photo shoot he actually really looks debauched. Just can't find the pic right now...

Actually, you might be surprised how okay it would be and how well you would act. Most fans have the problem of being struck dumb when they meet a fannish obsession in the flesh, so you'd be unlikely to flail or fall down or do or say anything stupid. Later, of course, you could have a more private meltdown. Been there, done that, not with Ben et al but with some of my earlier celeb crushes. They're almost always quite lovely to meet-- polite, funny, smiley, and they're used to struck dumb or gushing fans. Not to worry.

Aw thanks for assuring me! I hope it happens someday!

And that outfit, there is something so amazing about that T-shirt under such sophisticated garments; it's human in a way, isn't it?

SolarSystem · February 10, 2014 10:19 am

Ah, that's the one!

Aw but he looks all tired in that shot!

Oh dear, I must be really hungry if I noticed the spread at the back first before Ben's outfit.

On hindside that's a fantastic smile.
