My New Obsession: An Ode to Charlyne Yi

Has anyone out there seen Paper Heart? I recently watched it and fell hard for Charlyne Yi. The movie is so endearing and Charlyne might possibly be the most adorable person alive. Her giggle is infectious. Her awkwardness is charming. And her personality is just so snuggly. Ever since I saw her in Knocked Up as the high stoner laughing at Heigl I've wanted more. Paper Heart is an unconventional love story told as a faux documentary where Yi and Michael Cera play themselves falling in love while Yi interviews other people in love in an attempt to make sense of it all. You might think it'd be cynical but it's not. It's just so damn cute. Period. She's so funny because she's not even trying to be funny. She is just so beautiful in her own independent way. Does that sound insulting? It's not meant to. She just seems so fun to hang out with. Do I have a girlcrush? Perhaps. But wouldn't it be cool if Charlyne was a rolemodel for girls instead of Lindsay Lohan? Just a thought…

Either way, I will be in the front row of her show in NYC this summer: 

Charlyne, if you read this and you're ever in NYC can I buy you a cup of coffee and a cupcake? If ever there was someone I wanted to interview for Smartypanties, it's you babe!! 

We (paper) Heart You!
