He is Geoff Johns.
Our love affair is one that shall stand the test of time. Or it would, if I had actually had the courage to speak to him.
Day 1 -
Julia finally has a break between panels to get a bite to eat. She finds the food court, grabs a salad and some coffee (she has two more panels to go, and is afraid she won't make it through them). As she searches for a seat, she passes a table where two men are sitting. Not an unusual occurrence at Comic Con, and at first she gives them only a cursory glance. A comic double-take follows, for she has just recognized Dan DiDio, the executive editor of DC comics.
Hint: He's not the one in the Green Lantern costume.
Several thoughts pass through her mind...What's he doing sitting out here with the rest of us shlubs? Who is he sitting with? Should I stop and say 'hello'? Too late, I'm already past him.
For while these thoughts were happening, her feet had continued to move. She swung around and grabbed a table where she could keep her eye on him. It was then that she saw with whom Dan was sitting: Geoff Johns.
A chorus of angels let out a note of pure joy, and a beam of light struck Geoff Johns, giving him an aura of glowing golden sparkly-ness.
Julia's breath caught in her throat.
My love, she thought longingly.
But it was not to be.
For Geoff Johns was deep in conversation, looking relaxed, beer in hand, glad for this moment of peace amidst the madness that is New York Comic Con.
Julia could not deprive him of that peace. Besides, what would she say?
"I love you," seemed a bit forward. She would have to work up to that.
To be continued...
(And I promise to talk about the other things I did, besides stalking Geoff Johns*)
*You really have to say his full name to get the full effect. Just saying "Geoff" sounds weird.

Oh my gosh! He is adorable! I can't believe you didn't talk to him! Well, I can completely believe you didn't talk to him, but you know what I mean.
Next year for sure!!!!
Hi-larious. But just one question: are you not the same person who snuck into a Mardi Gras party and pestered Elijah Wood and Dominic Monaghan? If this (admittedly adorable) guy makes your knees knock, what are they, chopped liver?
