So apparently dreams do come true…

Saturday night, 23 year old college student Chelsea Gill scored a dream date with her celebrity crush; How I Met Your Mother star Jason Segel.

Chelsea never thought the song she wrote would get the attention of Segel, let alone lead to her joining Segel at an awards gala.

To date, the video has gained more than 180,000 hits on YouTube, and Gill has gone from an unknown fan-girl, to being the envy of many young women everywhere.

I had the opportunity to speak with Chelsea about her experience and asked her how the whole thing started.

“I wrote the song Sunday night, Jan. 1st, then played it for my roommates who thought it was hilarious. They told me to put it on YouTube so the rest of my friends could see it, so I posted the song the next day. I never even thought Jason would see the video.”

But he did, and that’s when things got crazy!

Segel linked to the video on his twitter page, along with “My favorite thing, maybe ever.”

I asked Chelsea how she reacted to his acknowledgment, and she told me “He responded on Twitter, and I freaked out. I was actually online when he tweeted. Both of my roommates were out of the apartment at the time, so I was alone when I found out.”

“I screamed. I couldn’t stop screaming and running around my apartment. My downstairs neighbor probably thought I was getting murdered! I called my sister, my parents, and my best friend.”

So… what does Chelsea think of Jason now that she’s had the opportunity to get up close and personal with him?

Well, “Jason is such a sweetheart. He is just a normal, down-to-earth guy. Very funny and personable. We got along great. He took time out of his crazy schedule to get a drink with me and invite me to an award show. I mean, he is the coolest guy I know.”

I’m SO jealous!
