--My name is Anila. Up until a few days ago, I thought I was just like
every other teenage girl. Seriously, life was awesome. I was popular,
had great grades, and was on my way to getting a scholarship to one
of the top universities in the state. Then my boyfriend decided to go
crazy on me, and I end up in a car with some other guy who claims
magic is real. Crazy, is what I say. Pretty sure he's out of his
mind. I--

--Hold on a minute, Nila is not giving me a fair chance. The name is Bailey,
and I'm not crazy. I'm a Muse. And so is she. That's why her
boyfriend got uber possessive on her. Muses inspire the best in
others, and without control over their magic, a Muse can be pretty
addictive to hang around.

Which is why I'm here, to teach Nila how to control that magic so she

we might create magical sparks...or something?--

--Look at all the things she doesn't know about being a Muse. The sparks
help us find our soul mate. Do I need to explain why I don't need her
touching me right now? We just met. Besides, it's common courtesy.

I happen to be
fortunate enough to live in an area where there are a number of celebrity
appearances. A while back, I decided there’s no point in denying myself the
opportunity to see some of these people regardless of if I’m a super fan or
not. I find celebrity culture fascinating since famous people are just as human
as we are, right? So here’s a list of people I’ve interacted with:
·
Big Time Rush (twice): handshakes
and me saying really stupid stuff all around. You say you won’t get star struck
and you inevitably do.
·
The cast of Victorious: definitely
all super sweet and fun people. Also very real.
·
The cast of Degrassi the Next
Generation: my funny story for this is I was with my eldest who was a toddler
at the time. The girls were all gushy over him while the guys were very
confused as to what to do with a baby.
·
Zac Efron: We held eye contact for
five seconds and he waved at me in response to my waving to him. Side note: he
is short and skinny. They say if you see a person, they’ll later show up in
your dreams, so I sure hope this is true. :P
·
Arnold Schwarzenegger: Filmed a
scene and then chilled with a cigar. Didn’t get very close, but he was also not
as big of a guy as it seems.
·
Joe from Blue’s Clues: saw him in a
play. We arrived early and saw him rehearsing in the park over lunch.
·
For King and Country: met the lead
singer before a concert. Got a picture with the kids who are super fans.
I’m sure I’m
missing a few, and it might sound silly, but it was a lot of fun. It also might
be research for future projects. You’ll just have to stay tuned.
