I met Tom Hiddleston. He said my name and hugged me tightly while my head rested against his chest. It was glorious!

Okay, that was strange to say, but it truly was one of the best moments of my life. I feel so very lucky!

Some fun facts about meeting Tom in person:

1. He is WAY taller than he looks on the television. I am 5'6 and I've always felt sort of tall amongst my friends, but while I was standing next to him I had to constantly look up and my head was against his chest when we hugged. He is so much taller than I imagined.

2. When we were outside conversing, his eyes were a very bright, pale blue. However, when we went inside, they suddenly turned to a emerald green. Weird! I preferred the green color, though he was wearing a really dashing dark blue shirt.

3. He gives the best hugs. Ever.

4. I've been asked this a lot, so I'm just going to throw this out there. He doesn't really have a certain smell that I could sense. I was pressed up against the man for more than a minute and didn't notice any particular smell. I mean, the man had just gotten done filming for 13 hours straight where he was probably sweating his ass off in his costume, but he didn't smell bad or like b.o. I could smell a really faint cologne scent, but nothing very strong. Sorry to disappoint, ladies!

5. His voice in person is even more soothing than what we've heard through the computer or television. It sounds even lower and strangely full of life, if that makes sense.

6. His "Ehehehe" laugh is even funnier in person. His laugh is infectious.

7. His smile literally brightened up the day. Seriously, it was cloudy, until he smiled and then the sun came out, haha! No kidding!

8. He is one of the most patient, kind, considerate human beings I have ever met and I feel so privileged to have met him.
