I have written about a lot of people in my past, but one person I haven't written about or hinted that I knew is this A list mostly movie actress. Although I haven't hinted that I knew or know her, I have written posts and blinds about her. I wrote one a few years ago that documented some of her early acting history and experiences. We don't talk now. We haven't talked in a long time. It seems like a different life when you look at it now. We were both very young when we met. Slightly later in time when we met compared to some of the other people from my past I have introduced you to.
The first time I met her I'm not sure we even spoke to each other. I knew someone from a group of people she was with and the group of four or five people I was with hung out for a few hours with her group. It has been so long ago that I don't remember even learning her name. I specifically remember the night, but if not for later events, I'm not sure I would ever have known she was in that group of people.
Fast forward nine months. I was visiting a friend of mine. It was a Saturday morning. Friday night had been a million drinks and people and Saturday was starting off slow. One thing about me is that I rarely get hangovers. As long as I get four or five hours of sleep, I'm generally good to go the next day. I might move slowly but there is not a lot of pain. This was not one of those days. There might have been an hour of sleep.
My friend is living in this place with five or six other people. The thing is though, each room has a door. There is nothing open about it. It is like a circle of bedrooms with a living room and kitchen in the middle. Some of the bedrooms connect, but some open doors to bathrooms. It was really confusing. Probably not as confusing when stone cold sober operating on some decent sleep.
I opened one of the doors and it was a bathroom. Standing there brushing her teeth was our actress. She recognized me long before I recognized her. She looked familiar. Where I had I seen her before? It was just like the other day. I was at a stoplight and a man walked through the crosswalk. I knew him from somewhere but couldn't place it. I even said it aloud. Eight hours later I was at a bar and to no one in particular it popped in my head. He was a guy who used to work all day every day at a Starbucks close to my house. For years he was there every day. Then he disappeared only to reappear in that crosswalk.
It was going to be like that for me with our actress. Let us call her ML. I knew I had seen her before, but just couldn't make my mind work fast enough. Let me try and paint this picture for you. There were two doors into this bathroom. She presumably had come in the door opposite to the one I entered. There was a mirror that ran almost the length of the room between the two doors. She is facing the mirror brushing her teeth. I kind of freeze because there is a half dressed woman in front of me and also because I think I recognize her. She stops brushing for one second and then says my name and asks how our mutual friend is doing. She then continues brushing. Not a second of shock to see me even though she had not been at the party the night before. Not a raised eyebrow at the no knocking or finding her the way she was.
Even with all of that it still took me what seemed like another minute or two before I finally caught up to the place where she was. Did I say something funny or witty? Nope. I just told her I was lost and just needed to find my way out to the living room. She kept her toothbrush in her mouth and made two hand signals indicating directions and then another to shoo me out of the room. Out of the room I went.
Tomorrow I will tell you about the river and the 48 hours we spent getting to know each other.
Um Vague much lol.
ReplyDeleteCameron Diaz lol
Cmon Enty you didn't screw an A-list free-spirited actress from the early 90s. :(
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like OG Enty. <3
ReplyDeleteDrew Barrymore
ReplyDeleteIt does!
ReplyDeleteMaybe she introduced Enty to Bani ;-)
ReplyDeletemaybe
ReplyDeleteIt sure does sound like OG Enty
ReplyDeleteAnd as is his habit the initials used for the BI subject is a character's name so I will say Renee Zellwegger who play Mary Lou in A Taste For Killing but let's see what tomorrow's clue is.
Julia Roberts? ==Mona Lisa Smile= ML)'''
ReplyDeletei think I'll wait til tomorrow since this could be anyone...
*Should have worded as " character’s name that he/she played"
ReplyDeletedrew barrymore starred in a movie called Mad Love
ReplyDeleteI guess it speaks to the length of my attention span when I see an item is more than two paragraphs and I then scroll straight to the guesses.
ReplyDeleteBased on absolutely no evidence whatsoever I like the Cammy guess.
ReplyDeleteIt could be anyone, but probably not Drew Barrymore, seeing as she was a child star and all.
ReplyDeleteOr he tries to sound like him.
ReplyDeleteI like the Renee Z guess, because she went to UT Austin and Enty was in Austin (I think) around that time frame. As was l, for a hot second in 1989-1990. I, however, don't know RZ or Enty ;-). And the living arrangement he's describing sounds like a student housing sitch.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a possibility too.
ReplyDeleteSome of you longer time readers may be able to answer whether Enty tends to use slang but if he does, ML can also mean:
ReplyDelete-Someone he thinks of as adorable, amazing, funny
- Someone who makes him laugh
- someone he's got affection for ("much love")
Julianne Moore-- Maude Lebowski=ML
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy these type of blinds. Gracias.
ReplyDeleteThis is an very boring set-up with lots of irrelevant waffle. Person bumps into another person in a house. I am literally panting for more.
ReplyDeleteYou could've started with the good blind rather than a huge explanation of why you walked in on someone (wait for it) brushing their teeth. Also with all the stupid details you could've given oh I dunno maybe one or two hints about the actress rather than the apartment description
ReplyDeleteAmazing, people in hollyweird have good oral hygiene and do not just rely on good dentists.
ReplyDeleteJuicy BI.
I don't remember learning her name....
ReplyDeleteCould be Renee Z.
Cameron's name in Something About Mary was Mary Jensen.MJ- a couple letters off from ML which could work .
ReplyDeleteDrew Barrymore has been famous since she was a child. I'm pretty sure he would have known who she was!
ReplyDeleteSo... the entire purpose of this blind was to set up another blind?
ReplyDeleteKinda lame.
good point, but there is a possibility he didn't recognize her. It's Entward OG or otherwise!
ReplyDeleteThis blind reads like it was written by Mad Libs.
ReplyDeleteAw. Real Enty. I missed you.
ReplyDeleteYay!!! OG Enty is back!!!!
ReplyDeleteDo not want to the rain on people's parade, but there is a good chance that this is someone who is trying to sound like the OG Enty. Just making us believe that the real one is back, but actually still is not. Sorry, but I am highly skeptic about this.
ReplyDeleteWhat was the point of the blind? Nothing salacious happened.
