I am going to apologize in advance for the overuse of caps lock during this post
NOTHING ELSE THAT OCCURRED TODAY IS IMPORTANT! I MET ERIC NAM'S MOM!!! Those of you who do not know who Eric Nam is...educate yourself. Those of you who knew Eric while he was at Lovett..I AM SO JEALOUS. Oh, what I would do just for a conversation with Eric or Eddie...or BOTH! SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL! YOU GUYS ARE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO LET ME FANGIRL BECAUSE ERIC IS ALWAYS SO CLOSE YET SO FAR AWAY! Today was just affirmation of that. I also met a candidate for the Gwinnett county state judge, but I'm sorry Mrs. Nam won.
Let me set the scene:
A beautiful woman enters the radio station with a box of Krispie Kreme donuts (yes, already a good sign). My boss greets her and sits her down. I greet her, and my boss explains that I am the intern because he usually has to explain why there is a black girl sitting in the back of the office to maintain the attention of his guests. It just saves a lot of time that way. I explain that I taught myself Korean, and my boss interjects that I will be attending USC in the fall (I appreciated the quiet brag). The conversation naturally comes to a close as I have reached the limit of my Korean abilities. I return to my desk donut in hand content with my mid-morning snack. As I begin to settle back into my work only to be told that that woman is more than just a nice lady with Krispie Kreme... SHE'S ERIC NAM'S MOTHER! I immediately bolt up from my desk and greet her again with a full 90 degree bow. THIS IS SERIOUS! I tell her that I am a huge fan of Eric, and that I am currently at Lovett. We also spend sometime talking about Eddie before she is pulled into the studio to start her time on air. I go to lunch heart still in my stomach. It was only over my boiling seafood soft-tofu stew that I realized I made one fatal mistake. I DIDN'T TAKE A PICTURE. I WILL FOREVER REGRET IT! I WILL MEEET YOU AGAIN MRS. NAM THIS IS NOT THE END!
