Starbucks sightings...

Just when I thought that Starbucks couldn’t possibly get any better, I walked in this morning only to find myself sitting two tables away from Seann William Scott (or better known as “Stifler” from the American Pie movies!!). Seriously!

I was standing at the bar waiting for my drink when I noticed him sitting at a table with two other guys and I thought to myself what a striking resemblance he had to the actor. When I mentioned it to the barista, he told me that it actually was him and that he had been in yesterday as well. Crazy!

Suddenly, I found myself completely excited and no one I knew was around to share it with!! There was a girl sitting near me about the same age, so I blatantly interrupted her to tell her my news (she was very thankful!) and we ended up spending the next forty minutes chatting while discretely (or maybe not!) looking over our shoulder!! My new friend even spent five minutes “getting sugar” when we went back up to the bar for another drink!!


Oddly enough, no one in the store seemed to have recognized him. We all sat politely going about our business. Or so I thought! When he finally got up and left, all social decency apparently went with him because suddenly, nearly the entire restaurant of Sunday morning coffee drinkers got up to watch him out the window!!! It was quite hysterical!! He drove away with a friend in a Volvo station wagon…who knew?!?

This was my third “star sighting” in Ottawa since I’ve lived here. First off was Green Day asking me for directions while walking through the market (they wanted to know where Zaphod’s was!). Then two years ago, while shopping at the Papery in the market, Ryan Reynolds and Alanis Morrisette came in wanting to buy tape! The sales clerks and I just stood there with completely idiot grins on our face.

I’m honestly a very charming and witty girl at times!!

I have only had one "Celebrity sighting" in my life, and I am not 100% that it was actually that person. I was in Boston about 5 years ago and I am pretty sure that I saw Joshua Jackson.

Oh, and I did see Jane Curtain when she was filming a movie in SJ. I saw her shopping in Brunswick Sq - she looked like a homeless person (maybe trying to go incognito?).

Yeah...Seann tried the incognito thing too!! It made me want to walk up to him and ask him to stop being so self involved and start letting us ask tons of ridiculous questions!!
