A Double Fanboy Fail! Susan Misses Not Only Charlie Day But Jeffrey Dean Morgan As Well! DOH!
Doh! A double fail! I should have waited for friday to post this, but it’s a double fail and we have another doosey for tomorrow!
Suddenly Susan went out to try and meet one of the nicest guys ever Mr. Jeffrey Dean Morgan as well as Pacific Rim star Charlie Day… What happened? A double, one two punch of a fail!
Doh!
Check out Suddenly Susan’s fails after the jump!

Ask any autograph collector and they’ll tell you that Jeffrey Dean Morgan is one of the nicest celebrities around. If you told him you forgot your photo of him, he’d follow you back to your house to sign it for you. That level of nice. So when I had a second opportunity to meet him (see my recap of my first encounter) at a recent talk show appearance I decided to go. I also brought along my Pacific Rim mini poster signed by Guillermo del Toro, as Charlie Day was also scheduled to appear. I figured what the heck, right? I thought this would be a win-win situation as I’ve heard Charlie is super nice as well. I seem to jinx myself anytime I tell someone waiting how uber-nice the celebrity is, as they inevitably don’t sign that day.
To his credit, it was not JDM’s fault in any way. I was first to arrive, followed by 7 or 8 people, all of whom were waiting for Charlie. I was the only one with anything for JDM. This was looking great! I also got to see Miss Pinky Lovejoy and the future Mr. Pinky Lovejoy, Keith Coogan! It’s always nice to run into friends unexpectedly, so the trip wasn’t a total waste. We all saw that there was only one town car versus three guests, so we kept our eyes peeled on the parking lot. I saw someone leaving on a motorcycle thinking that may be Charlie, who had perhaps decided to drive himself. As it got closer I realized it was Jeffrey!
I started screaming his name like a maniac – Jeffrey!! Jeffrey!! (for anyone who’s seen Bill Cosby Himself you know what I’m talking about) However, the bike was too loud and he was looking the opposite way to turn into traffic. I certainly didn’t want to distract him and see him get run over. I’d be forever known as the crazy lady who got Jeffrey Dean Morgan squashed!
While reeling from my disbelief that I missed Jeffrey, I was told that Charlie left in the car right behind JDM (I don’t know if it was in a town car or if he was driving himself). Apparently, no one recognized Charlie until it was too late.
This is what we in the business call a colossal double fail. Myself and the others had chosen to stand on the opposite side of the driveway to avoid garnering attention from any lookie-lous (which were there were a handful of anyway). Had I opted for the other side, JDM would’ve been looking in my direction and definitely seen me standing there, holding a photo of him. I’m 110% positive that he would have stopped. I seem to be in an autograph slump. I hope I can pull out of it before Comic Con next week! Hopefully that will be when I turn things around.

Yo Susan! This sucks! But at least I beat Wanda in leaving a comment! I guess I’m a bigger fan of yours than she is!
At least what I write makes sense!
Bummer about Jeffrey Dean Morgan! He’s a coolio cat!
Oh, that sucks! Ugh, I’m so bummed you weren’t able to get him this time. Here’s hoping your mini slump ends there and it’s all good next week! 🙂
Row that boat baby! You’ll make it!
Perhaps you should have danced. This way when he was going by he would have looked over and said “who is that girl dancing?” And then he would have signed. Wearing bright colors is good too.
If I were to dance in public, I’d be locked up for sure! I’m worse than Elaine from Seinfeld!
Oh Susan–
I can not express the sadness I feel. My heart is torn, ripped into confetti like pieces. Not like you see in a shredder but larger pieces. It’s torment to see you fail and fall into desolation and sadness.
I can not say if Comic Con would be better but if I was there I would bathe your ivory skin in almond milk and buttercream. Making you feel like a cloud in the heavens.
Comic Con, while large, is not great. Arise like the phoenix, descending on the masses like a bird with a wounded wing. Your force of positivity makes you soar. When something is bad. Say, no badness! NO! I will not get down, I will be the Suddenly Susan that Wanda knows I am. That Suddenly Susan is not sad, or mad or riotous… She is a coco queen rising to the heavens on a wave of joy.
Rise up! RISE UP!
My home is a desolate shack with mildew and upturned earth. I bury my thoughts in prayers and charm lockets. But you… like the queen in the castle of the Lords. Suddenly Susan the huntress with your fuzzy frenchman hunting oxen and llamas.
You should hunt Ryan B. He is not a fan of Suddenly Susan! He is a tormentor put on this earth to make us uneven.
Oh… I am lost.
Susan, I pray your Comic Con is marvelous. Remember, things that get you down… Are from Ryan B. Ha, I made a funny. In the serious nature I intended though, when things are hard, are tough say to yourself… “Suddenly Susan, I will laugh, I will smile and not get bogged down.”
I’m buying a small mammal for a neighbor boy, I’m naming him Susan.
Ouch! Bummer to read about JDM and Charlie. Those days happen, but just be glad it wasn’t 100 of you and everyone missed the actors/actresses you were waiting for as some have written about on MTF. There will be another chance so don’t be so down on yourself.
Ryan B. and Wanda – I’m so glad you’re both fans, but play nice
you two 🙂
But Susan! I’m a bigger fan than Wanda! I want you to know that! I think you should have your own column. I would read it everyday! EVERYDAY!
Wanda is a joke, I think she’s a hermit living in a shack in some wilderness land or something. Really Wanda? You keep talking about the ground like you don’t have a cement floor. If you have internet you have a cement floor!
