It was the first time I’d ever been to a con like that (& my first con in over a decade) and the only reason I was going was to meet Hayden Christensen. I was so lucky to be able to meet up with @bimbo-baggins17 because otherwise I would’ve been agonizing all day in line about what was about to happen so socializing with her really helped.

The photo op went so quick I step up and Hayden put out his hand so I shook it & then he proceeded to stare into my eyes. In the moment I felt like I was supposed to say SOMETHING! But I didn’t know what. (My name probably would have been good. 🤷‍♀️) idk my mind was racing like a mile minute trying to come up with anything but it couldn’t becasue HAYDEN!! So I just stared back blankly shaking his hand, then silently went to take the picture and walked away.

The autograph went better. @bimbo-baggins17 had made him a friendship bracelet but was to nervous to give it to him, but this gave me a purpose & something to say so I was fine giving it to him.

I walk up and handed him the bracelet and I’m like “here this is for you, she made it” *points to her right next to me*

Hayden- “wait who made this? *looks at bimbo-baggins17*

bimbo-baggins17- all shy* “nods”

HC- “thank you and said that was very sweet”

Hayden then *looks at the teeny tiny film strip i have for him to sign & holds it up to the light to see what it is”

Me- “you can sign it just wherever I know it’s small I’m putting it in a keychain.

HC- “oh cool”

Me- “you ever think you’d write a book like your mom & your sister?”

HC- “hmm maybe. Did you read it?”

Me- “yeah! I really like it!”

HC- “all excited* Yeah! Thank you! *hands me my film strip back*
