I secretly believe that Zooey Deschanel and I would be best friends, if only we could meet. I’m adorkable, she’s adorkable…we’re soulmates! Nevermind that I can’t sing, act, play music, or display even one of the many talents mastered by Ms. Deschanel. While I wait with baited breath for the fateful day we become besties, I suppose I’ll have to settle for stalking the New Girl star. On that note, here are 10 things I’ve discovered about Zooey that you, being less of a scary stalker than me, may not yet know…
