I thought I would be cool.
As a relatively passive person on a daily basis, not to mention somebody who goes over these unlikely scenarios again and again in my head, I thought that I would be able to maintain my composure should I ever accidentally run into a notable someone.
I did not anticipate, however, completely losing my shit.
I spent yesterday at Universal Studios in Orlando with my best friend. I hadn't seen her in ages and thus decided to take a trip to the sunshine state for a little catch-up. It just so happens that the first weekend I'm in Florida is the first weekend of PlaylistLive, a YouTube convention which brings together content creators, consumers, and advertisers. It's like VidCon, but on a smaller scale and with more fan girls.
Anyway, we were strolling around the Wizarding World of Harry Potter when a set of neatly knotted dreadlocks appeared about twenty feet from me. I'd recognize these locks anywhere; they belong to somebody with whom I have developed a serious relationship, albeit one he is not aware of.
When I say I lost my shit, I don't mean lost like I occasionally lose my phone for five minutes. I mean my common sense and reason and relative passivity all dropped from my head onto the ground and rolled into the gutter, never to be found again.
I rushed up to Louis Cole, a semi-famous YouTube creator who documents his nomadic travels via daily vlogs, and somehow stammered a sentence that I'm not entirely sure he understood. But my phone was on picture mode, so he reached out for me, and we posed for this photo.
Photo credit to my bestie who managed to suppress her laughter long enough to snap the shot. Because that's what friends are for.
Fortunately, I ran in to him again today and was able to maintain my composure and, hopefully, redeem myself.

Louis recently collaborated with several people on a trek across India, one of those people being Mr. Ben Brown, whom I also had the pleasure of meeting. Ben's passion lies in film and photography, something that is evident in his absolutely incredible Instagram account, so give that a follow as well.
