My favorite Park Slope… Celebrity Sighting

Patrick Stewart lives in Park Slope and has the most adorable Twitter page ever. Steve Buscemi lives here too and he's like some kind of 9/11 hero. Unfortunately I've never actually seen them in Park Slope. I bumped into Horatio Sanz in a Park Slope subway station once. He lost a lot of weight and I really liked his shoes.  I also did a shot of whiskey with a famous comedian at Union Hall. He was a prince even if we Never Ever Get Back Together I'll cherish our time together. Very recently I was at Black Sheep Pub with an FX leading man.  He was pounding whiskey and Guinness very quickly. I'm not sure if he was Mean but I was concerned.  I'm getting off track. Let me Begin Again. My all time favorite Park Slope celebrity sighting was my first one.  It's kind of a Love Story.

It was Thanksgiving of 2010. Not the actual day. After Thanksgiving? I don't know what I had for breakfast this morning. I can't remember the exact day. That weekend I guess. Anyway, I was catching an F Train at the 7^th avenue and 9^th street station. Heading into Manhattan. It was Thanksgiving so it was empty. Ever notice how an empty subway station feels a bit like a Highlander fight is about to break out? Don't worry. I'm not going to say I ran into Christopher Lambert. There was only one person there though. It was a woman. Or an angel. I'll never really be sure.  She was tall. Unforgettably tall. I walked past her, trying not to stare. Then I saw her face. Boy, were my Eyes Open. It was Taylor fucking Swift. I almost fainted on the tracks. I found out later she was in town because she was with Jake Gyllenhaal and they spent the holiday with Park Slope resident Maggie Gyllenhaal. While researching for this article I learned that Jake took her virginity! She was 20. He was 29. Creep. Then he broke up with her by not showing up for her 21^st birthday. She locked herself in the bathroom at her party and cried all night. Fuck you FOREVER Jake Gyllenhaal. Coward. More like Jake Ginahaal am I right? Boom!

 I didn't approach her. I don't follow her music at all. I only really know her from tabloids and that Coca Cola commercial. So I didn't say anything. It's honestly a massive regret I have carried with me. I've since learned she is extremely fan friendly. So now I have a recurring dream where we became best friends. We call each other and complain about Ok Cupid dates. Share our insecurities. We went on AIM once together and sent each other silly IMs and nobody was on, it was so funny guys you had to be there.  Ugh, I love Taylor Swift. That is why she's my favorite Park Slope celebrity sighting.
