I’m so close to meeting him it’s ridiculous. Last year I worked in the same office complex as his agent and saw him outside one day, but of course I didn’t say hi, because that would have been awkward. My friend worked at the studio where they film House and we went there every week for lunch and I saw the House sets but I didn’t see Hugh. Then this year I saw him on his motorbike while I was doing a march for gay rights. He was at a red light and watching the march go by. It would have been weird if I left the march to say hi to Hugh Laurie so I just ignored him. Later, my friend met him at the juice bar she works at, and this juice bar’s like a mile from my apartment. But then when I went to the juice bar, of course he wasn’t there.
So it’s like I’ve seen him around town, but I haven’t actually spoken to him. So I don’t consider this task done.
