« People are strange | Main | That's a Wrap! » November 06, 2002Day 12Well, I chickened out. I didn’t bring anything to work for Isaac to sign today. I guess it’s just my natural aversion to getting autographs, and the fact that even though I sign them, I’m shy about asking for them myself...I’d rather just have the memories of hanging out with him, I think, and I don’t need a really cool signed Shaft CD, or an even cooler autographed-by-Isaac-Freaking-Hayes-Himself-In-The-Flesh South Park DVD that I can show off to my friends and bring to parties as a conversation piece. Aw, who am I kidding. I blew it, big time. DAMMIT! Well, he’s working in 2 scenes tomorrow, so maybe I’ll take advantage of this second chance, and at least get something signed for a friend, who is strangely also named “Wil.” So today, I got married in the movie. I spent the day in a tux, smiling and laughing, standing next to an absolutely beautiful bride. It’s ironic, because tomorrow is my 3rd wedding anniversary in real life. So standing around today, all decked out in wedding gear, watching the assembled guests and stuff, I couldn’t stop thinking about how happy I was on my actual wedding day with Anne, and more than once I caught myself getting giddy little butterflies remembering that day. I can’t tell you how nice it was to have a break from the constant crying, grieving, and depression that this role has demanded of me each day the last three weeks. Comments
Yay first comment! I want to be an actor. A play wedding sounds like alot more fun than a real one. You just get to wear the dress. :) OK the tux in your case Posted by: Roxy at November 6, 2002 09:16 PMWil, That's the best kind of wedding (the fake kind!) For my ten year anniversary, I'm going to renew my vows so I can completely enjoy the day instead of making sure everything is perfect. BTW - get the autograph! It would be so cool and the worst he can do is say no (obnoxiously, looking down at you) but that won't happen. Promise! Good luck Posted by: Michelle at November 6, 2002 09:24 PMLet me ask. Why are people so damn happy to get the first comment? Are there any days where the person who posts the first comment DOESN'T remark on it? On another, more germane note, I am looking forward to this movie. It will show my nay-saying friends that Wil Wheaton has talent and is someone to be reckoned with. Keep kickin' ass, Will, my man. Posted by: Patton L. Zarate at November 6, 2002 09:28 PMHappy Anniversary, Wil! And they said it wouldn't last! I hope you and Anne have something wonderful planned. Say, are they still calling your movie Boise? I still think that's a title that rocks! Enjoy your day! Posted by: Todd at November 6, 2002 09:33 PMYahoooooo! I'm number SEVEN! Will, get Mr. Hayes to sign you stuff already! Posted by: Dee at November 6, 2002 09:37 PMget his autograph. i recently sent an email to matt good from the matthew good band just to tell him i loved his new video, and he wrote back to me the next day! very cool. and i was glad that i didn't chicken out of clicking "send". :D Posted by: j.la at November 6, 2002 09:45 PMIn mentioning your movie bride, you left out after beautiful, "Not nearly as beautiful as Anne though." Now go and make it up to her. Happy Anniversary! Posted by: Keith in Montana at November 6, 2002 09:47 PMIt's after midnight here on the East Coast, so Happy Anniversary to you and Anne. Here's wishing the both of you many more to come. You should get the autograph. You won't regret it. I certainly have never regretted getting yours, or having my picture taken with you. :) Posted by: Shaun at November 6, 2002 09:51 PMHave him sign, even if you have to say your wife is the one who wants it. To remember your wedding song of course. You might never see him again. Be not afraid. Posted by: Mr.Price at November 6, 2002 09:55 PMYou do realize you probably just gave away a good portion of the movie. Thanks a lot wil ;) Posted by: Alex C. Schaefer at November 6, 2002 09:59 PMWil, FG Posted by: Fabian at November 6, 2002 10:01 PMJust do it you silly boy! Actually, I know what you mean. I'm not a big fan of asking for autographs. Partly because if I think they will be annoyed by it. But if people wanted my autograph(that would be an odd person...) I wouldn't hesitate or be annoyed at all. So ask him. And sign MY guestbook you bastard!! Have fun. -Jeffery Posted by: Jeffery Borchert at November 6, 2002 10:07 PMHappy 3rd anniversary from another East Coaster - it's now 1am here. Get the autograph. Hey, he might ask for yours. He loved you on Star Trek, right? Maybe you can sign and exchange script pages if you don't want to get personal, but I'd get personal myself. Life's too short for regrets. If you are really going to chicken out on the autograph, I hope you at least get a personal photo with him. Posted by: loretta652 at November 6, 2002 10:14 PMHappy 3rd Anniversary.. may you be just as thrilled at your 30th! =)) Kiri Posted by: Kiri at November 6, 2002 10:35 PMWil, Ya damn right. Posted by: jgramz at November 6, 2002 10:39 PMMaybe they scheduled the fun wedding scene the day after the hard cry day and in the middle of the hard shooting schedule on purpose. Happy anniversary Wil! Just checking =] Posted by: AntiFreeze at November 6, 2002 11:01 PMWimp!! Happy anniversary, Wil!! Continue to have a wonderful and happy marrige. =o) Posted by: GreenEyes The Official CAT of Violence at November 6, 2002 11:46 PMHappy anniversary, Wil & Anne. Keep it up you two, you seem great for each other (well, going on what Wil has shared you are). Meanwhile, get the autograph. If you're regretting it this much today, with the chance to still get one tomorrow, imagine how down you're going to be if you miss your last actual chance. After you've gotten the autograph, scan it and post it here. Then we can all marvel over just how much cooler said autograph has made you. http://www.startledfrog.com/beretwearingelitist/ Posted by: Katie at November 7, 2002 12:38 AMHAPPY 3RD ANNIVERARY, WIL! Congratulations! :) Posted by: Angelwwolf at November 7, 2002 12:52 AMHappy 3rd Anniversary!!! :D -Belinda Posted by: belinda at November 7, 2002 12:57 AMahem... we expect you to post a scan of Chef's autograph tomorrow. If not, we'll tell everyone what a chicken you really are. Happy Anniversary!! Posted by: NickW at November 7, 2002 01:05 AMWhat happened to your back injury? Geesh, just reading that gave me pain. At least you could update us! Posted by: John Ross at November 7, 2002 02:12 AMTold you yesterday you'd regret not getting that autograph. Fortunately for you, the gods are smiling upon you yet again and are giving you a second chance. Don't blow it! Happy Anniversary to you and Anne. May you have many more. Posted by: Brock at November 7, 2002 03:01 AM Get that autograph. You'll regret it if you don't. And Happy Anniversary. :-) Posted by: Amy at November 7, 2002 04:02 AMJust checking- sometimes I'm able to post, and sometimes not... Hey Wil- Wil, The weirdest thing is, Isaac Hayes might well read yur page someday soon, and think... hey, the kid wanted my autograph... How Cool! And then wonder why you bottled it. Fer Goddsake Man! Get the autograph! Posted by: Kouros at November 7, 2002 04:57 AMOh, and Happy Anniversary!!! Posted by: Kouros at November 7, 2002 04:58 AMAwww Mr Wheaton you're so sensitive. I am dead inside so if i could feel anything id be envious at your emotional articulation But i cant. So im not. Get the Autograph! Release the Fan-Boy inside! You Know you want to. Wil, I say: GET THE AUTOGRAPH!!!! :) To commemorate the movie, and the "behind the scenes" 1:1 with Chef. >P Also, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO THE HMIC AND MRS. HMIC!!! =D Posted by: Anne at November 7, 2002 05:22 AMYea get the autograph.A chance like this dosent come along all the time.. Wil, Wil, Wil... Playing a part of a groom, and having a wedding anniversary the next day isn't irony. It is a strange happening, bordering on the freakish, but it isn't irony. Irony is a literary device where the intended meaning of the sentence is the opposite of what is written (like Frost's famous "Mending Wall" poem quote: "Good Fences Make Good Neighbors." He didn't mean that at all, he was being ironic, with a hint of sarcasm). Additionally, irony is when an the outcome of an event is the opposite of what is expected (it is particularly ironic if they were working hard to make it happen. Like the Dems campaigning to have a landslide in the election, and historically they should have. It was expected. Ironically, the god-awful Republicans took it. It was the opposite of what they expected. Or maybe you stayed up late to memorize all your lines, but since you didn't get any sleep, you were too tired to remember them clearly during the shoot. That would be ironic. The exact opposite happened of what you expected the outcome to be). I once emailed a famous actor too and asked him to sign my guestbook. Not for a million years would I have believed he would. But, he did. And now I have bragging writes. Get the autograph man. Maybe he feels bad about not asking you and is going to do the same thing when next you meet. Well you could send him a package that has to be signed for and then keep the certified receipt... H A P P Y A N N I V E R S A R Y ! ! ! Get the autograph. Posted by: Nadia at November 7, 2002 05:40 AMHAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!! Posted by: teahater at November 7, 2002 06:15 AMNothing profound to say... just Happy Anniversary. Posted by: Sunidesus at November 7, 2002 06:54 AMI adore this website! Wil i absolutely love reading your lil tidbits!! You'r writing is so very profound! It moves me very much! Now OK my address for the message boards so i can play with Uncle Wil :P Beth Posted by: Beth at November 7, 2002 06:58 AMCongrats on your wedding anniversary! Three down, and the rest of your lives to go ;-) Posted by: Brent at November 7, 2002 07:00 AMHappy Anniversary! Hope that this is the 3rd of very many more! Posted by: Dodge at November 7, 2002 07:01 AMHappy 3rd Anniversary! :D Your anniversary is very close to my dad and step-mom's anniversary. It will also be their 3rd anniversary on the 13th. --Ezz P.S. Get the autograph! :) Posted by: ezzvaldez at November 7, 2002 07:15 AMDo you think that asking for autographs is any easier for us non-celebrity folks? No it's not. I met the man I admire the most last summer: Bob Geldof. It took me a good 15 minutes to gather the courage to ask for an autograph. For some stupid reason I thought he would turn me down, or I would make a fool of myself. Of course, nothing like that happened. You have the advantage of knowing the guy, and with your sense of humour, you can turn any ackward moment into comedy, I'm sure. Come on!!! get the damn thing! I'm sure he'll be fine with it. If not, it's not like you'll be seeing him anytime soon. Posted by: Lynne at November 7, 2002 07:53 AMHappy Anniversary!!!!!! And get the autograph! This is Isaac Hayes. Besides anyone willing to do South Park has got to be nice (read cool) enough to give an autograph. Don't give up this second chance!!!! Posted by: Miriam at November 7, 2002 07:57 AMGet the autograph, Wil! Do it for your boys. They won't get to have the memories of hanging out with Isaac, but they might eventually inherit your keepsake. Posted by: Louis at November 7, 2002 08:01 AMHey. Happy Anniversary!!! Happy Anniversary Posted by: Ellen at November 7, 2002 08:52 AMThanks to jodilyn who posted that Isaac Hayes has a website. Wil, if you're still debating the autograph thing and are unsure about getting him to sign something personal, Mr. Hayes has a cookbook. I'm sure he would be pleased to sign that for you. I've been to weddings where the couple have programs printed and the music listed. If you had one of those with "Shaft" listed, it would be really special to get him to sign that. But, in any case, it's karma that it's your wedding anniversary and it's his last day of shooting with you. Use the excuse and get the CD signed already. Posted by: loretta652 at November 7, 2002 08:56 AMHAPPY ANNIVERSARY WILL! It only gets better from here. My hubby and I celebrated our 8 year anniversary in October and we're more in love with each other than the day we got married. By the way, GET SOMETHING SIGNED!!! I hope for your sake that you didn't chicken out again. I'm sure "Chef" will be flattered, and you'll never regret it. Tracey Posted by: Tracey at November 7, 2002 09:06 AMIronic you say? Posted by: ze-mag at November 7, 2002 09:25 AMOh come on, get the autograph. I'm sure he'd be flattered to be asked from a colleague he respects. And happy anniversary to both of you. "Borrow" the tux and take her someplace really nice (unless it's one of those 70s powder blue tuxes with the frilly lapels). Posted by: synchronicity at November 7, 2002 09:32 AMWouldn't you tell us we're total idiots if we had a chance to ask for your autographed and passed it up? Happy Anniverary! =) Posted by: anamarylee at November 7, 2002 09:33 AMHappy anniversary and congratulations! My 13th anniversary is next week, and over the last 13 years, I've tried to follow these words, which I now offer to you: Strive for understanding, always. If you fall out of harmony with each other for whatever reason, remember that it never costs you anything to apologize, even if you weren't entirely wrong. Always remember to say "I love you." Always be willing to listen, really listen to grievances. Equally important -- be willing to express your own, calmly and with kindness. Care for each other, respect each other, and cherish each other's frailties as well as strengths, for they are all a part of the one you love. I wish you two happiness and contentment in each other for the next year, and for the future. MV Posted by: MrsVeteran at November 7, 2002 10:09 AMOh, I almost forgot the most important thing: FIFTY-NINTH POST!!! There, I've said it. Posted by: MrsVeteran at November 7, 2002 10:10 AMDude- Happy 3rd Anniversary!!!!! --- Get---The ---Autograph--- In the immortal words of Nike 'Just do it'. Have a wonderful 3rd Anniversary celebration. xx Posted by: Tiana at November 7, 2002 10:56 AMGo for it Wil, Get the autograph! Posted by: Emily at November 7, 2002 11:41 AMHappy Anniversary Wil & Anne! Posted by: amy at November 7, 2002 11:42 AMMust be nice to be part of a wedding scene you know WON'T get cut, eh Wil? Posted by: buntz at November 7, 2002 11:51 AMYou GOTTA get something signed by Isaac Hayes, you just gotta! For yourself AND for your friend, lol! And happy anniversary to you and Anne! :-) Posted by: Robyn at November 7, 2002 12:00 PMI'm hoping if you ask nice enough he'll sign your chest. Posted by: RetroRandy at November 7, 2002 12:11 PM#68... Posted by: bluecat/redblanket at November 7, 2002 01:04 PMEven better than an autograph... Get your photo with him. That's something you can hang on the wall and show the grandkids someday. Much more interesting than an ink scribble. ...and then you can make up stories to go with it. "Yeah, this is my friend Isaac Hayes. We used to hang out a lot back in the day..." Posted by: PatrickD at November 7, 2002 01:05 PMWil -- so you get married in the film? Two Words: SPOILER. I love hearing all about what happens on the set, but before you mention that your character turns out to be a ghost, or he and Isaac's char are really the same guy, or it's all a dream... you will give us a heads up, won't you? Hope you asked for an autograph today (jeez, if it isn't a girl named Misty, it's a guy named Isaac). Remember: who's the guy who won't cop out, when there's danger all about? You are, dude! (Right on) It might not be a spoiler. I assumed it was a first, but then again it could just be a "flashback" scene where Our Hero is remembering that sweet happiness he has lost. Don't assume. When you assume, you make an ass out of Uma Thurman. Wait, that's not right. Posted by: theothercourtney at November 7, 2002 02:01 PMI say get the autograph, but present him with an 8x10 glossy of Chef. Posted by: Matthew Brown at November 7, 2002 02:10 PMYeah, random spurt: I just found out after three years of readig WWDN that you could actually post comments. Whoa. Posted by: Connie at November 7, 2002 02:31 PMBarney Rubble sits at the piano a one... (to the tune of the The William Tell Overture) Just had my 10th myself; threw a surprise wedding to celebrate. Enjoy it Wil!!! Posted by: animeraider at November 7, 2002 02:47 PMJust think what that Signed Shaft CD would bring on Ebay! KA-CHING! Posted by: Dejapooh at November 7, 2002 03:05 PMUm.. I think it's Meddle not in the affaires of Dragons for you are crunchy and taste good with Ketchup Posted by: Alacrity at November 7, 2002 04:15 PMHappy Anniversary! And many more! Posted by: Rob at November 7, 2002 05:06 PMAw, Wil! Who freakin' CARES what everyone else thinks!!!!!!!!!! This is ISAAC HAYES! GET THE AUTOGRAPH!!! Wil-- It's so refreshing to read how sweetly and lovingly you talk about your wife. My wife and I just celebrated our own 3rd anniversary in August, and every time I see you write things about Anne, it makes me think of my Raya. I'm so glad I'm not the only freak who loves his wife! There are at least two of us, woo hoo, and one of them was Wesley Freakin' Crusher!! :) Posted by: Eric at November 7, 2002 07:17 PMhave a great anniversary Wil! Congrats to both you and Anne! :-) Posted by: annastazia at November 7, 2002 08:53 PMHey Wil, Congratulations and all the best to you and Anne on your anniversary! May you have many, many more! Best, P.S. If you're going to get his autograph, just do it for yourself and don't worry about what anyone thinks. After all, everyone's a fan of someone else in some way.
