Radek Zelenka/David Nykl Appreciation, Thunk, Translation Thread

No, you didn't tell us. That's wonderful Rosehawk! I can only imagine how that must have felt. I bet your adrenaline was really pumping!

As soon as my husband finds the photoshop CD and reinstalls it on my computer. (I'm still recovering from the fried hard drive.) I have so been itching to get back into the smilie making business. And of course I would love to make more Zelenka smilies! Hey, I could also do one with a fangirl kissing Zelenka and her head exploding into a million hearts. What do you think?

OMG! That is an awesome idea, Hiccups!

Oh yeah it was, but by that point I was also starting to feel somewhat shy and embarassed because like I have said before, it's one thing to *THUNK* and have fun with it, it is quite another to meet the person behind the character of that *THUNK*. And then I had a stupid fan moment at the Breakfast Meet N' Greet where I felt like an idiot in front of David. You'd probably actually laugh if you saw it happen. A friend of mine gave David a gift from her country, she handed the gift to me and told David it was from me. Okay, I couldn't even prounounce the name of the cookies and her and I ended up having a funny exchange with the cookies going back and forth between us with David just kind of looking like 'What'. He's face was pretty funny! It was all nervous energy on my part, if I could have pronounce the cookies I probably would have been fine!

Funny, I really like Ben Browder alot too but had no problem talking with him!

At the Chicago convention, a friend let me switch seats with her so I could see David close-up. After David came on stage, he made some kind of comment about someone having to dig for some of those clips. Unbeknownst to me, at that point several people pointed to me - I didn't see any of it. David just kinda of looked quickly and moved on with the Q&A. By that point I was really feeling kind of shy and worried about another stupid fan moment so I was glad he didn't say much directly to me. It was just great knowing that he liked it!

However, at the New Jersey con, the one I couldn't attend because I was on a youth group trip, David apparently mentioned he liked it as several GW'ers told me he really enjoyed the video and that he actually asked for me! *Sqeeeeeeeeee* Fangirl moment!

I thought it was cool that several of the GW'ers on the two David/Zelenka thread's stopped by to tell me and a few PM'd me about it! Gateworlders are cool people. Really supportive of each other!

Yep, I was. I still smile when I think about it!

It just would have been nice to actually have been there when he said it!

It's kind of maybe, a little like having him post some of a special someone's motivational posters on his website!
