Guess who I think I saw!!

I was walking on campus retrieving some books a few minutes ago and I looked and I saw someone who I think was Seamus Heaney.

Seamus Heaney!! Seamus fuckin' Heaney!!

See, it could be him because he's giving a reading on campus this afternoon. And I'm pretty sure it was him. In fact, I almost ran up to him jumping up and down going "Are you Seamus Heaney?!" but he was with someone and I was already walking in a different direction and I didn't want to look like a complete and total wanker.

Of course I immediately called scarcrest and told him. His response to my glee was to ask if Judd Winick had gotten the restraining order yet. Bitch.

I'm prolly going to regret asking this, but...

Who's Seamus Heaney? And this Judd Winick that you're going on about all the time? :)

Seamus Heaney: Irish poet, did a terrific translation of Beowulf a few years ago, generally considered one of the greatest living poets of the English language

Judd Winick: Comic-book writer extraordinaire (Barry Ween is his best)

Ahem.You forgot to mention that he's the only poet to have written a poem about a bog body.

This probably speaks volumes about me. I know who Judd Winick is... I don't know from Seamus Heaney.

Well, if it makes any difference, my excitement over glimpsing Seamus Heaney is nothing compared to my Judd Winick devotion... I just hope I didn't scare the poor dear when I met him at DragonCon...
