I woke up on July 20, 2011 and decided I was going to take a 3:01 pm train into NYC to try and meet RyRY :) I waited in NBC studios for a couple of hours and talked up the security guards so that they would tell me where Ryan would exit the building after the show. I met another Gosling fan, and we were able to wait together and chat about Ryan. She had told me that she’d seen him walk into the building and that he was wearing a black t-shirt and black jeans and had his dog George with him. 6:45 p.m. it all went down…Let me tell ya, when i saw him come through the elevator my stomach felt like there was a hole in it. And my vision went blurry and somehow I was under his arm in seconds (literally do not have any recollection of how i got there haha). Then I somehow was able to speak, and not just tiny words, I was chatting him up. I told him I was from Burlington, which is where he used to live, and we talked about that and he asked me about my sprained ankle and what not. Then he saw my shirt which said “hello my name is mrs.gosling” and he was like “WHOAAA THAT’S AWESOME!” and he gave his iphone to his agents who took pics of us. His agent was asking me about Canada and myself. I pet his dog George, and then I cried when it all hit me and he hugged me tighter and said “awww” and I was still soo out of it. And just hearing his voice in my ear was soo amazing i felt like i was dreaming. Image RYAN GOSLING, Noah Calhoun, talking to YOU right in your ear. It was breathtaking. Oh, and he’s pretty tall and buff btw….our body’s were pressed together for a couple minutes so I was able to observe ;) Then I told him he was following me on twitter and I squeezed his bicep with his tattoos on it and i said “nice” :) He is not photoshopped whatsoever by the way! While all these pictures were being taken of us my friend was trying to figure out how to work my phone and he was like, “Are you taking a video?” And he laughed and i felt it against my body…whoaa man was that amazing bahahah. Then after 5 minutes of talking and having our arms around each other I told him how much this meant to me and stuff, then he took a quick pic with other fans. I could not believe I got to have a 5 minute convo with THE Ryan Gosling. It was such a dream come true ! I’ve waited for that moment my whole life, and just knowing he finally knows I exist is unbelievable. God bless you Ryan Gosling, you change lives everyday.
Meeting Ryan and 2nd Time :)
Hey guys! So it’s true I met Ryan again! :) Basically in respect for Ryan I’m not going to say where exactly I met him but it was in a place he visits frequently. My friends http://kardashianloverr.tumblr.com/ , http://jonasjunkie.tumblr.com/ and Liz decided to go to the city on May 12, 2012, in hopes that we would meet Ryan. When we arrived at this restaurant we were going to use it as a starting point, but after about 2 minutes we were planning on leaving. But then (thank god), I looked out the window and saw him standing there with his friend. I’m almost positive he heard me screech “THAT’S HIM, OH MY GOD THAT’S HIM” because let’s just say it’s hard to control yourself when Ryan Gosling is in the same room as you. So of course my body starts shaking uncontrollably (which is always fun) and I start to walk over to him as he begins ordering for himself (and Eva I presume). I quiver, ” Hi Ryan, could I have a picture?” and this beautiful man turns around and says in the most sincere way, “I’m so sorry I can’t right now but it’s really nice to meet you” and he reaches out his hand and I shake it. I then say, “Thanks, I met you in July, I’m from Burlington” (we both have family that live there). And like the first time we met he says “That’s awesome!”. Meanwhile I’m on the verge of having a freaking seizure and I sort of drift back over to where my friends are. Let me just say that Ryan is definitely one of the most down-to-earth celebrities to ever exist and I’m so happy that he respects his fans. So I’m back with my friends and he’s ordering and I can see him continuously glance over in my direction (partly because I was probably loudly inhaling and exhaling, and partly because I didn’t want him to get away without me doing something memorable..yolo right? ha). So luckily before I had arrived to this restaurant I had printed that picture above of me crying with him, and I had put my name, number, e-mail and tumblr on the back of it. *Go big, or go home* is all I could think. So I finally grew the balls to go back over to him and say “I’m sorry this is sooo creepy, but I have this picture for you”. And i hand him the picture with my information on it and a sharpie. He was going to sign it for me, but I insisted that he keep it (or throw it out if he wanted) and I pulled out another picture of him that I had in my purse ( #stalkerpride). He slowly begins to sign it as we make conversation. “So what are you guys doing all the way from Burlington?” He says. My friends make note that they’re American but I’m from Canada. “You’ve got family in Burlington right?” I say even though I already knew that hehe. “Yeah my mom” he says, and then he continues “My mom loved you the last time we met” he says to me, and my hands are going in directions of all sorts because I’m shaking so bad. “You should really start using your tumblr…er..I mean twitter again….A lot of people actually care if you’re eating a sandwich” I stutter to him because I’ve always wanted to say that to him (I mean who doesn’t want him to start tweeting again?). He laughs and my heart literally sinks into my stomach. So he asks what my name is and I give him my full name and he asks me to spell it so I do. Then he asks my friend Thomas what tumblr is and Thomas explains to him and here and there Thomas and Morgan let him know how much this means to me. He writes my name in a speech bubble that says “Hi Kenzie _____”. I feel so bad because I probably freaked him out to no extent but I honestly love this man with every ounce of me. He’s really good with fans like me who have major issues, I looked like a human vibrator probably. Anyways, he asks my friends their names and shakes their hands. Then him and I do this mini-handshake where we slide our palms together and then fist bump and he says my full name, “Kenzie _____” and my mouth is so unbelievably dry by this point. I think i stammered a few things here and there but I literally cannot remember every detail because he literally lights up a room when you see him. As I turn away to leave him alone I say “Bye Ryan, I love you” and he said “Bye, love you too”. HOLY FUCK GUYSSSSS hahahahaha then I’m paralyzed for a good hour or so. Before he steps foot out of the restaurant my friend Thomas sees him read my information and then neatly fold it and slide it into his pocket. Once again, thank you sooo much Ryan (if you’re reading this), you’re the most incredible person in the entire world and I cannot thank you enough for taking time out of your day to notice my existence.
