I hang my head in shame

So, my coworker Alfonso was telling me about how he saw Mick Jagger at the Getty Museum, which led to a conversation about the celebrities that come into the store where we work.  For instance, I mentioned Casey Affleck, who stops by on occasion and how most of the time every employee knows which celebrity is in the store within a matter of minutes.  

Not even an hour goes by when who should walk into the store but CASEY AFFLECK.  Now, I love Casey Affleck.  I think he seems like a nice guy and I love his work, but I have never had the guts to talk to him.  He goes upstairs and does some shopping and ends up making his way to the registers downstairs.  Soon after that, another coworker of mine comes by with a book (Howard Zinn's People's History of the United States) and tells me that he wants to buy it.  She hands it to me and tells me that this is my chance to finally talk to him.  I hesitantly take the book from her and walk towards him.  

Then, what do I do?  I avoid him completely and hand the book to the cashier and run off.  I completely chickened out!!  I am ashamed.  It's pretty typical of me though, but still disappointing.  

We could have shared a moment!  We could have exchanged a few words!  I can't believe I ran away from the situation, but I guess there will always be another time to talk to a celebrity.  When you live in the Los Angeles area, opportunities like this will always creep up on you.
