...In which our heroine is pure bliss.

We almost didn't go. I had gotten my dates mixed up and thought the premiere was next week. It started at seven and we didn't decide to go until six. But if we had arrived five minutes sooner or later, I wouldn't be writing this.

Tonight I spoke to, shook hands with, and swooned over JOHNNY DEPP at the world premiere of Public Enemies in Chicago. He touched me - he is magnificently gorgeous, exactly like in his his movies, only prettier - and I came a little. I don't think my heart has ever beat so fast. Great skin, perfectly greasy hair, nice pinstripe suit, rough hands covered with rings and tattoos. Johnny Depp is a real movie star, he just exudes sex and charm. 

Kristen, Emily, and I were across the street from the red carpet and couldn't see much when we first got there. I saw the side of Christian Bale's head, which was still hot. Then Depp's limo pulled up and we caught a glimpse as he exited. I thought that would be it, but no...

Johnny Depp, aside from being beautiful and a talented actor, will forever be on my cool list because he met, autographed, and spoke to a block and a half of fans when he didn't have to, at all. Christian Bale didn't even bother to wave to the fans. He signed for kids, old women, and everything in between. And, since he apparently doesn't watch his own films, left the screening early and met more fans. 

When he approached all I could think to say was "It's nice to meet you." And he shook my hand, looked me in the eye, and said "It's nice to meet you too." OMG. I'm sorry to be a fourteen year old, but for my money, Johnny Depp is the most handsome man on the planet, and he touched me. Then I melted, knees shaky, breathing heavily. 

Oh, and the cast is here until Saturday doing a press tour. And I scored passes to the screening tomorrow, so I'm optimistic I'll get to see someone show up there too. And I got a poster. I also saw the director, Michael Mann, William Petersen, and Dennis Farina. 

What a fucking awesome awesome awesome night. And for once, my phone camera worked well:
