I have officially peaked, this weekend was the best, and now I don’t know how it could get any better lol.
I met Rob Paulsen at a con this past weekend and it was the most amazing experience ever. This was also my first con ever so like, this was the best! I’ve admired him since I was nine and my mom told me what Animaniacs was and I just watched animaniacs episodes on YouTube for days on end. He was the first voice actor I really ever payed attention to and I loved seeing how he worked characters from a young age.
It’s because of him that I broadened my horizons and appreciate voice acting as a professional art, and I had so much comfort from those characters.
So yeah. I met him. He was around an hour late poor guy. He then shook everyone in line’s hand one by one and some people got two handshakes. When he came up to me he just said “HELLOO NURSE!” And I kinda fangirled a little. Mind you Yakko is my favorite character he’s ever done and I had no indication that I liked Yakko like no pins, no clothes, no merch, nothin. Just a girl with normal clothes and a mushroom hat her mom made. And he said the line as he shook my hand.
I got to get a photo and an autograph from him and it was amazing. I got to thank him and he was so humble and so nice and so amazing and I just am glad this man exists.
So yeah. I think I understand how the “I met weird Al” guy feels now.
