Am I that obvious?

For the last couple of weeks I have been consumed with the Sundance Film Festival. I volunteered in the special events portion of the festival and it was a blast! So many kinds of people to see and they were all nice. The day before the festival starts there is a volunteer party, totally awesome. It was like one of those parties you seen in people magazine were the lighting is perfect and everyone has a drink. Well me being a non-drinker clasped a free cranberry juice as I tried to mingle with people I didn't know. You would think being the chatty person that I am this task of getting to know people would be easy, it was the exact opposite, I tensed up everything was overwhelming. I didn't want to throw in the towel after driving the 20 minutes to get there and to waste the coolness I felt being able to get into a party like this, but standing around talking to no one isn't a good look. I was never going to get to know anyone in a crow like this. So in preparation for the drive I went to the ladies room. There, I saw a girl digging in her big purse for lip gloss, dressed in plaid, my first thought was; I wish I could pull plaid off without looking like a lesbian. So I said, I love your outfit I really I wish I could pull plaid off. She kindly responded "thanks I love how warm it is." We began to chat and turned out we became friends her name was Vernie. With in the first five minuets of me knowing Vernie she said "we need to find you a guy, I can tell." in a matter of fact way. I stood there puzzled, we hadn't even brought up the subject of guys. She didn't know if I was dating anyone or married or if had a few guys on the side. She just knew. I had to wonder what about me gave off that vibe? Did I have a stamp on my head that read "NEEDS GUY"?
That Thursday was my first shift. I was to help out at a screening for this select group of actors called "artist at the table". I saw so many people. I helped Mark Ruffalo to his seat and MAN was he the nicest ever. From seating Mark I turned around and saw Katie Couric who was so nice and told me I was pretty. I looked around and there was Aaron Paul, and then I turned and saw this Italian man looking at me. I immediately got sheepish and looked behind me to see if he was looking at someone else, when I realized he was looking at me, I got red. He came up to me and asked me where the bathroom was. I realized that Vernie was right. When this Italian man came back he looked at me again and smiled and said "so we meet again" and I just laughed and shot him a smile because all I was to him was a way to find a bathroom. 
That Saturday my friends and I continued the tradition of star gazing during Sundance and took to main street. We saw Harry Styles, Anna Kendrick that slut from E! Kendra whatever her name is,and  Ashley Green from twilight. It was fun and it made it better because I was with my besties. The time came around when I had to go work my shift at the Chase Premier party for Infinity Polar Bear. When Mark Ruffalo came in, he was just was handsome as I remembered him being just a days earlier. I was working the press line and got to see all the people come in. As he left the line I said "Have a good time in the there " he replied " Hey I know you from the other day." My smile was as big as the Mississippi, I nodded and replied "are you having a good time?"  He looked at me and said "the best have a great night. " I just said "you too!" . My life could not be better! I was beaming all night, that I didn't even realized that the Italian man staring at me. What did i get from this experience? I was so pretty that an A-List movie star remembered me.  I am gorgeous!
So the party came to an end and I didn't see Mark leave unfortunately, I was sure he would've asked me to go hang out. Why wouldn't he? The Italian was leaving and I said "Bye I hope you had a great time!" Still beaming, He leans in and kisses me right on the lips and shouts "FIRST BASE!" Yes he had had something to drink, yes if he was into me he would've asked me to hang out, but it doesn't change the fact that he kissed me; the most action I have had in two years.  SO  was I that obvious? Is that why that guy kissed me? becuase he just saw a cute girl that was in desperate need of male attention?
NO! and YES and who the EFF CARES! If I have learned anything from my hero Mindy Kaling, it's who cares what people think! Who cares if I come off as "I need boyfriend"... at least it's out there, and that couldn't hurt. AND Mark Ruffalo remembered me, a random Italian kissed me and Katie Couric thinks I am pretty....I am the coolest!
