Sophia Bush is just awesome in person. She is very bubbly and seems like she is always smiling. When I met her briefly I just asked for a picture with her and told her how much I loved her show. She said thank you so much and thank you for watching. And I have to say her and Chad make the cutest couple ever!

I first met Sophia during half time. I had a fan book to deliver to her, so my friend called her over from where she was standing in the hall. I handed it to her and said it was from some Lucas/Brooke fans in appreciation for her and Chad's work this season. She was so busy looking through the book that she didn't hear me the first time though, heh. She was so excited to receive the book; it was definitely the kind of reaction you'd want to get. She was just saying things like, "Look at all this stuff!" and "This is so neat!"
After she finished looking at the book, I asked her to take a picture. I left after that, but I know several other fans came up to her for pictures.
During the game, Sophia put on one of the shirts they were selling for the game. Mark Schwahn (OTH creator/game commentator) asked who wanted to buy the shirt she was wearing for $20, to go to the charity. I didn't see anyone volunteer immediately, so I did. I picked it up during a time out, and she signed it, "You're awesome for buying my shirt! Thanks! All the best, Sophia."
They were holding an autographs thing after the game. I didn't say much to her while she was signing my poster, but I did ask to take a picture of her and Chad. She invited me into the picture, and I must not have looked like I was coming in because while I was turning on the camera, she asked if I was going to get in it.
My encounter with her was very short, but I could tell she was a really sweet and fun person just from meeting her and from watching her enjoy the game. I think I'm a bigger fan as a result of the encounter.

I met Sophia and the cast of OTH in NY. The cast was at TRL and I noticed that 2 limos were there and I knew it had to be theres. So I waited until they came out and they went straight to the limo. The only one that came over was Bethany Lenz. She gave out gum which was kinda funny. Then I knew they were going to be at Planet Hollywood which was right across the street so I ran over there and I noticed a limo coming and James came out first and I got my picture with him, then Chad came out and I asked him if he can sign my DVD which he did and then I got a picture with him. The camera wouldnt go off 2 times so then finally he gave the camera to Sophia and she took the picture of us together. Then I got my picture with Sophia. Then I got my picture with Bethany Lenz. I somehow missed Bryan who plays Jake and Hilarie. But then I went inside and waited about an hour to get up to them and they were signing a cast photo and they all shook my hand and introduced themselves. That's my fan encounter.

I met Sophia Bush when Chad was promoting his movie 'A Cinderella Story' at Planet Hollywood. When Sophia got out of the car, I had like a 1 minute conversation with her. I told her how big of a fan I was and that I loved One Tree Hill. She was really nice, unfortunately I didn't take any pictures. But she was in a hurry, because she went to TRL afterwards.

I met the cast of One Tree Hill on January 25th, the same day that the show came back from hiatus and the DVD and Soundtrack came out. She was really nice, she complimented my bag lol. I told her she looked so pretty today and she was just saying how I was so nice and stuff. I also made her a card that she loved.

I met Sophia about 3 months ago when she was visiting our town. I recognized her and so I quietly pulled her aside and introduced myself. She was so sweet! And she has the most gorgeous smile I've ever seen. We talked for about 10 minutes. I just couldn't get over how nice she was. I wish her and Chad all the best in the years to come!!

I met Sophia at the OTH Tour concert in San Francisco. She was the sweetest person ever. It was about 12 am and everyone was really tired but she was still pretty talkative and I shook her hand. I also over heard her talking a few times while I was waiting in line, and she's pretty funny. She's also the most gorgeous woman EVER!!!
About a month ago I was in Wilmington and I was an extra and I saw her on the set. She's got this great energy for her work and she's a really fun person. She was singing and talking in between takes, but when it came time for her to just do the scene, she got really focused and she does a great job!!! It was a delight to be on the set with her. She and Chad are also SUPER ADORABLE!!!!

Encounter #1 - "House of Wax" Premiere
So around 2:30 yesterday I find out that the premiere was at 6:30 and that day . I thought it would be this Saturday so I wasn't really prepared to go . I had school the next day and a lot of homework to do. I asked my dad to drop me off at my cousin's house, and told him we were just going to hang out. Its like 6:15 and no one could take us, so we decide to take her mom's car to go to the premiere. Now my cousin only has her permit so if we got caught it wouldn't have been good. We get there and find out we don't have any money and she doesn't know how to parallel park. So we give the car to valet and say we are going to pay them later. Now its like 6:30 and no one is there yet. We go and stand across the "street." First Paris comes and everyone goes crazy, than people from the OC. Than it's Chad and Sophia, so while everyone is yelling Chad's name I'm yelling Sophia's. She looked so gorgeous, her hair was up and she was wearing a beautiful dress. She comes across the street and signs autgraphs for everyone. I took a picture with her and it didn't come out right so she insisted we take another one and asked the security gaurd to take it for us. She was really sweet, she made sure everyone got an autugraph and didn't leave until they did. Her and Chad were really cute! Then Jared came across and I told him that I saw him on Gilmore Girls that day, he laughed. We then leave and have no money to pay the valet. They say its OK, so we get home and no ones there....we were very lucky. I get home and go on wireimage and see pictures of me and Sophia, I got excited.
Encounter #2 - OTH Concert
We go there at around 5 and there was already a long line. Right when we got in, we ran to the pit because we had floor seats. We forgot to get the wrist band for the meet and greet but we later went and bought it. Than our local radio dj comes out and introduces Lee and Sophia. They talk than intorduce Joie she plays about 5 songs, than Tyler does his thing. During Tyler's performance he brings out bryan and they perform "Wonderwall" and BTW Bryan is 287273821X better at playing the guitar than Tyler. Then The Wreckers which basically took like an hour to set up, than Gavin, whose performance smelled good. WE started out near the back of the pit but by the time Gavin performed we managed to get front row. When Sophia came out to talk I held out my scrapbook and we had a mini convo while she was on stage.
Encounter #3 - Meet & Greet
We get in line somewhere in the middle. We sat behind some weird people who basically stalk the whole cast and went to 5 shows. We see Mark Schwahn and we go up to talk to him. We took a picture with him and told him to put Lucas and Brooke together and to kill off Deb and he laughed. Later my friends had the great idea to go to the end of the line. Though it sounds stupid but that way we could spend more time talking with them and they could look at my scrap book. It worked out great. We sat behind these cool people who sang a lot. Than Jessica came down our line, she couldn't stay there because she had to go pee. So we got her autograph and we took pictures, we made her wait because my camera was out of battery. She's gorgeous. We got to Lee and the first thing I said was " I watched Boy Meets World yesterday!" He was smiley and nice. He said he had a friend named Tara and I was like I'm gonna remember that and he was like now I'm gonna remember you. Than we moved on to Sophia. I showed her my scrap book and she was looking at it for like 5 mins. She remembered me from the Cinderella Story premire and she was like the sweetest person ever. We were talking to her and I told her that she wore the same shirt at the Super Bowl Playboy party w/ a green bra. She thought that was hilarious that I knew that and explained why she wore the shirt. Than we get to tyler, who laughs hysterically everytime he saw an old picture of Chad in my scrapbook. Joie was sweet I loved her. We left, by that time it was about 1:00. We go outside, and its a very creepy neighborhood. We were the only people that were still there. We see limos pull up and we decide to stay. Sophia comes out and we take some pictures and talk for awhile. Lee comes out but we were preoccupied with Sophia. She was worried because we didn't have a ride. She's absolutely beautiful and I love her.
