Not a madcap kind of girl

Let me begin by saying that this post, with this word, could be about a million different perfect examples, but I'm going to revolve it around a fantastic event that happened to me tonight.

I am not a madcap person.  I am careful, calculating, and kind of shy, but definitely not madcap.  Tonight, SULA had an event that hosted Rob Reiner talking all about comedy and his work with mediator Jeff Garlin, and it was absolutely fantastic!  I went with my dad, we had some great laughs throughout, and all I could think about at the end was how much I love the movie When Harry Met Sally and The American President (by the way if you have not heard of Rob Reiner, go google him this instant and watch his movies, pretend like there wasn't a time in your life that you didn't know about RR).

After the show, almost everyone in the theater got up and rushed to the back.  Because of this, I assumed that RR was whisked away somewhere, not to hang outside with the common folk.  But I was wrong.  After we had gotten our fill of Coke and little apple pies, my dad and I took a peek inside the theater to see a sizable crowd forming around RR.  This is where a madcap personality would come in handy.  To barge in and demand the attention of the man who wrote, "I'll have what she's having" takes real balls.

After some encouragement from my dad, I went up with that crowd, and talked to RR, and got a picture with him.  It was awesome!  Not expressed being madcap, but I'll have that picture on Facebook for forever.  :)
