Crying at Carrie Hope Fletcher

Hey Guys,

Now before I start this post, I want to apologise for being AFK (absent from Keyboard). I have no excuses and I'm so sorry.... I promise on Shakespeare's Quill I wil pick this up again

Such as this story...

Crying at Carrie Hope Fletcher.

I went to a Literate festival recently, near where I live and Carrie was one of the authors attending. After nervously clutching my book for about 20 minutes in the cramped corridor outside the venue, we were let in. I then spent a even more anxious 20 minutes waiting for her to arrive- then she did. Carrie starting speaking about her life, her book ( after all it was a literary festival) and her youtube channel. I was enthralled, after seeing this person grow on youtube for like three years now? and her in turn helping me grow it was literally like meeting a close friend who you knew loads about but she didn't know anything about you.

I managed to keep it together until someone asked a question which turned out to be my Kryptonite . 

Body Image.

As someone who's NEVER been good with this- and lets be honest no one really is. When Carrie answered in her usual upbeat way i just.. cried a little bit.

This was awkward because I was on the FRONT ROW. Yep. Not tucked away at the back when my emotional outburst could be quickly hidden with tissues, Oh no, I could be seen from all angles.
Luckily everyone was too busy focusing on the beacon that it Carrie, except from one stage hand who just looked at me, and stared, I could tell he was placing me in a mental file that said "Weird teenage fan-girl who cries at author". Great. So much for my cool and grown up exterior. Well, Let's be honest no- one was getting fooled by that....


Anyway- In conclusion after i had wiped away most the the mascara and eye-liner that had fallen down my face, I managed to meet Carrie who was so sweet and kind... Although I didn't really say what I wanted to say...

I just kinda 'Word Vomited' on her by saying "HI... You're great... I read all my friends are superheroes... Loved it... The Ending...Perfect..I love you...Bye"

Yep.

I'm so coherent.

It was not the beautifully put together conversation when Carrie would see we should be best friends... Instead I looked insane.

Anyway...Better luck next time?

Have you ever had an awkward fan moment... Please let em know to make me feel a little better....

Love,
