aren't you an american icon? yes teresa, i am.

so i started a new job today that required me to jet-set down to hot-lanta, ga for a seminar. it was a good time. my new co-workers seem really down to earth and easy to work with. then on the way home on the concourse of ATL i happened to see teresa scanlan, miss america 2011 approaching from about 100 feet. as a huge miss america fan i decided to keep my cool and just say hi so that i could get a photo with her, see below.


unfortunately the 12 year old girl who lives within me had other plans and she started using my body to scream "oh my god, you're miss america, hi teresa! i love your work!" as though she were justin beiber. i may have peed a little.
the good news, she was incredibly nice and flattered that i was so excited to see her and recognized her in the crowd. bad news, i am fairly certain i will eat lunch alone for at least the first year i spend at this office.
totally worth it.
