Dare I say I met someone? Just rounding the two week mark now, it was during Super Soap weekend that I met the current love of my life. I was at station 7 signing autographs when the most beautiful person stepped up to me and said "Hello, Eden. I am a big fan or your work, and I absolutely adore you." Now it's not like I hadn't hear that line a million times, but coming from that perfectly rounded mouth it seemed to be the first and only time anyone would ever say that to me, and I was in awe. To keep the line moving I am only supposed to sign one item per person. Well, I ended up signing 2 shirts, a cast photo, the standard issue photograph I sign for everyone, and a super soap fastpass. I swear we had the most brilliant conversation in 5 minutes that any two strangers ever could. I saw their soul. Then it was over. The next person in line stepped up as my perfect match walked away. After another hour or so of signing autograph after autograph I was escorted off towards the start of the motorcade. I was riding with Michael and he was cracking me up the entire time. Then it hit me. That person right there in front of me was the same one from my autograph session earlier in the day. I waved feverously and blew a kiss in their direction. Then the beautiful stranger was gone. After the parade I was walking with my Disney host when I accidentally bumped into someone in front of me. They turned around and I raised up and apologized with my sunburned face. I couldn't believe it. I was in love. I slyly crept away from my host for a while as she was preoccupied with Cameron at the time, taking their hand and pulling them along with me gently. We talked and talked for what seemed like hours. I did something I never do, I gave out my cell number. When we had to part I receive a call and we chatted as I walked to the media center to meet John. We did our broadcast for our all too familiar fans at Sirius OutQ and I had a marvelous time as always. It was later that night that we met in the lobby of my hotel. It was amazing. So breathtaking. We had a wonderful Italian dinner and then came back to the park to watch the fireworks show that ended the night. The last two weeks away from one another have been hard, but the phone calls have been amazingly comforting. This weekend we will be together. She is flying up to New York and we are going to be together.
