From the Vault: You got it, dude.
Wednesday, March 18th, 2009Here's another recovered entry from my defunct 2005 blog from when I was attending New York University. A certain pair of celebrity twins were also members of my class. I never met them, but plenty of people I knew had run-ins with them.
This is a story one of my classmates posted on a class discussion board:
So the other night I'm sitting in Starbucks at 1230 AM with my friend Scott Faris. Scott and I are talking about Alias and other cool shows and how we would like to make a series about time travelers. And I'm sitting there sipping on my venti iced vanilla latte and SNAP in the corner of my eye I see Mary Kate (Yes the Olsen twin.) She actually wasn't as bad looking as everyone says - and once I saw her I looked over at the person next to her - a guy who I think might have been Jeffrey Katzenberg (I'm not positive but for the sake of the story we'll just go ahead and call him Jeff.) And Jeff saw that I was staring at her so I quickly diverted my eyes. I told my friend Scott about the Olsen twin near us (We're talking like 7 feet away) and we instantly became like little twelve year old girls. "I can't believe it's Mary Kate." We were speechless.
So then Jeff goes back to the coffee counter. Mary Kate is waiting for him at the door. My friend Scott decides to go up to the counter to get another drink (but really to see what's up.) Jeff leaves in a hissy and disappears out the door with MK on those lonely New York Streets.
So Scott is talking to the coffee guy.
Scott: Dude, did you see that Olsen twin?
Coffee Guy: Yeah man she comes in here all the time
S: Wow, what did her boyfriend have to say?
C: That's her boyfriend? (it's wasn't Jeff's best good looks day)
S: Yeah.
C: Damn
S: So what did he have to say
C: Oh he was just making a fuss because his coffee was cold. I told him I'd brew another batch if they just waited three minutes. But he just said, "(Punctuated Sigh)... No."
S: So is Mary Kate like that too?
C: Nah, she's aight.
S: Cool
C: Dude I gotta secret.
S: Really?
C: Yeah but you can't tell no one.
S: Okay I promise.
C: The other day she came in and ordered a decaf skim milk latte.
S: Yeah?
C: And that's the least fat thing you can order. She's the skinny one, right?
S: Yeah, I guess.
C: Well she is... and this part of the story you can't tell anyone.
S: Okay
C: When I made the drink.... I used whole instead of skim.
