Misson: Meryl Streep

After weeks of wrecking my brain about the whole finding Meryl Streep thing, I had an epiphany! Google! Why didn't I think of that before right? Well it seems I wasn't clever enough to do such a thing; but once my light bulb came on, I searched her and I found a website called Simply Streep! It was like a Wikipedia for Streep fans! I mean they even have her shoe size!( that's a bit creepy) I saw that she had a had a few events that were in the city. The first was the Revlon Rainforest Benefit at Carnegie Hall. PERFECT! I knew exactly where that was! The day of the performance I set out on a mission with my well written hand letter and faith in hand to find her! I had no idea how big this event actually was! Everyone who was anyone was there. I marched up to the window and said I'd like to buy a ticket to tonight's event! Balcony, Mezzo, or Parquet she asked. Whatever is the closest I replied! 605.03 she said. Good thing I brought that ten dollar bill I thought! Then I stood dumb-found and corrected when that ten bucks left me owing 595.03. I politely said thank you and walked away. Good thing there were 25 letters left in the alphabet because plan A was over. I walked to the side of the building with all of the other non-ticket havers and stood in line hoping she was need some air and come out. A few band members and a background Singer/ New Friend by the name of Neal came out, but no Meryl.  after about 6 hours of waiting I got out of line and went for a walk which led me to a door man. I struck up a conversation and told him about my mission. He thought it was a brave thing and introduced me to an usher who agreed! Luckily for me the usher's break was over and she offered to take me backstage to see the house manager. The house manager assured me this letter would get in Meryl's hands! Would she actually read it was the question! With in fives minutes chaos started because the show had ended and Stars began to walk out! First President Bill Clinton!(HEY BILL HEY!!!) Then Tom Hanks(RUN Forest RUN) Then Bruno Mars( No grenades insight!) As the door opened once more everyone anxious to see who's coming out, Meryl Walks out! Shining as bright as the Morning Star! I eased my way to the front behind the velvet ropes with the help of a few new friends and as she walked past I said as loud as I could, "I'M DIAMOND, I WROTE THE LETTER!!!! As I paused thinking there is no Way She heard me over all these people, She turned and said "YES DIAMOND I GOT IT, I READ THAT" for a split moment my 20 years of life flashed before everyone's eyes! Did Meryl Streep, the Oscar Mother herself just acknowledge me? Did she just point me out in the crowd? Was I dreaming or dehydrated? Good thing Hollywood TV and I were recording the whole time because I wouldn't have believed myself if I told me that story!
