The Day I Saw Mel Gibson
Mel Gibson came to the Geographic today. I have a song in my head that sounds like conga: I-iii saw Mel GibSON, I-iii saw Mel GibSON. duntdunt dunt dunt dunt DA!
i-am a huge Gee-eeeEEK!
I’d only walked down to get lunch, but seeing the hubbub, asked the securty guard, who is also a woman, what was going on. We get dignitaries sometimes. Most recently Angelina Jolie was here. Once I walked right past Barbara Bush before I realized it was her.
“Mel Gibson is here,” she said, and smiled, “He’s up on the 6th floor now.”
So I joined some people outside and learned a lot via the Geographic grapevine. Our mission “the increase and diffusion of geographical knowledge” of Mel Gibson’s butt.
I’m not sure if it has anything to do with his controversial new movie Passion. There is so much buzz with this movie I can’t give just one link. See the list below.
It’s Mad Max. William Wallace. I want to eat an amalgam of his characters all up.
I am sitting outside, completely stoked and feeling like Geeky McFangirl. I heard one guy say, mocking us females in what was obvious jealousy, “You can take our lunch hour, but you can never take our freedom!”
We’re all dorks here.
When he came out I did that double take that I’ve only felt a couple times. It’s a familiar person that you’ve never seen in the flesh. He paused, saying goodbye to very lucky women who were working with him, kissing cheeks. We watched tensely, smiling. It would have been preferable to me to be invisible rather than feeling like such a dork, within five feet of Mel Gibson. He seems so sweet.
Yes, he’s very handsome in real life, just as much as on film. He was wearing jeans and a black short sleeved shirt. Very nice legs. Not too tall, under 6 feet. The shirt covered his butt, though. Lovely eyes. Just a hint of his age but in a fabulous and rugged way. I’m thinking about blue paint.
7 children? Sure, if you want, Mel.
His being here has already sparked three very interesting conversations with friends related to the movie, and religion in general. I’m not going to get into it here & now, unless someone posts something. But I love that being silly startstruck can evolve into thoughtful talks on geo-political religion and culture. Here are some links to start:

“You can take our lunch hour, but you can never take our freedom!” AAAAAHAHAHAHA! How perfect!
I think it’s very strange that girls (even girlfriends) don’t understand male jealousy (or even male reluctance to share enthusiasm misinterpreted as jealousy) of men who are and can provide things that are so very out of reach for almost anyone. They seem to have it down pat at so many other times!
