-cups hands around mouth- Tell us the Carrie Fisher story!
So, it’s September in Saskatchewan. I’m running on like maybe five hours of sleep because I was too excited to actually sleep, I’ve befriended the ladies in front of me in line and chatted up quite a storm. I’m clutching my art piece I made just got her to sign, I got a whole little spiel planned out, and then I see her. Carrie Fisher herself, and I’m stunned. I wouldn’t have been able to tell you my first name at this point, I’m walking on air. I was smiling so hard my face was hurting, it was nothing short of insane.
And she looked at me, and I’m tripping over my words, and my mom was laughing. The only sentence I actually got out was ‘you’re a huge inspiration to me’ and that was it. But she smiled, and said I was a good drawer. And then she did it. She gently took my left hand, and using the gold sharpie she used to sign my piece, she drew a little ring on my left ring finger, saying she was making an honest woman of me by putting a ring on it (her words, not mine). I was literally crying, real tears, I was just shaking and crying.
That’s the story of how I get engaged to Carrie Fisher, something that to this day makes me feel like I’m floating to just think about
