There is a Neil Patrick Harris look-alike in Marshall. This is so exciting! I was at CVS last night changing out the paper in the photo lab (and attempting not to tear up the machine.) Shane was standing nearby, and all of a sudden I hear, “ATHENE!!Athene!!Athene!!!!!ATHENE!!!” I looked up and he goes, “LOOK! It’s Neil!!!!”
The guy looked just like NPH! He had the same shaped face, nearly exactly. It was amazing. I think the world went silent there for a second as we both watched him walk out of view. hehehe. I turned to Shane and told him that he had to get a picture of the guy. He didn’t think he could get a good picture without being completely obvious, but I told him that he had to try. He stood there for a second longer, and then wandered off in the direction of our “Neil.”
I went back to the register and started waiting on customers, but I kept my eyes up just in case NPH came back through. I saw him on his way out! He might have been somewhat shorter and his hair was kind of curly, but other than that, he was a perfect Neil.
As Neil walked out the door, Shane came slinking around the corner and back into my view. He had the most hilarious grin on his face that I just couldn’t help but to giggle, even in the face of the customer in front of me (who clearly had no idea what was going on.) Alas, he didn’t get a picture. Next time!!!!!
I seem to have developed an odd problem as of late. Two times in the past week, I’ve had to deal with lecherous old men! ew! This has happened at both jobs now, strangely enough.
What really gets me is their strategy! It’s always about money. hehe! Both of them wanted to go into full details about how they had this surplus of money and how financially stable they were. That was weird. I mean, at what point in life do you take stock of your situation and say, “hmmm….my looks could be fading, but you know what? I’m financially viable! Yes, that’s the angle I’m going to use with females from now on!!!”
The problem is that both of these men are people I see fairly frequently. It’s going to be awkward in the future!
I was telling David about my mis-adventures. His response, “Oh, I am sure it’s your bifocals. They see them and go, ‘ooooh, that girl’s just my speed.’”
I was laughing too much to even be insulted! hehehe.

That’s insane! NPH wandering around Marshall, I suppose it’s just a little too perfect when you think about it. But it’s brilliant. Next time you go up to him with Shane and INSIST that he is NPH and DEMAND a picture with him!! He’ll be too embarrassed to deny you your pics. Cry if you have to.
