I'm going to start this story before I met him.
I had an autograph ticket for Peter, but never found anything for him to sign, but, to my luck, we ran across a figure dealer who needed one of those tickets. Since the dealer already met Peter I could take his item to get signed, and he paid me a hundred bucks! So I agreed, and the guy grabbed a postal box and pulled out a vintage G1 Optimus Prime figure box to get signed!
. . .
When I first saw Peter, it was like seeing a ghost. He was right there! Not on a screen, but he was there! Sitting in a chair, moving, talking, and smiling!
I was calm and until after he signed the box and I began talking-
I blurted out "It's an honor to meet you!" (Yes, I accidentally almost quoted TFP Smokescreen when he first met Optimus! And I had no plans on even saying those words!! They just slipped out XD) In reply, Peter smiled and nodded while a lady next to him went "Awww" (Way later, I now think she was his wife. However I've never seen her before then. I just know she tends to be with him at the cons.)
Starting to get overwhelmed, I ended up stepping bit back from the table he was at, and blurted out "I'm a big fan of yours! and my favorite quote is-" but at that moment my mind went blank. I seriously could not think of anything except "OMP! I'm TALKING to PETER CULLEN!! OH GOSH! He is waiting for me to continue and he is staring straight at me!! Aaah what was the quote- oh now I remember!!"
That moment felt like a minute, but was only around 20 seconds. I got embarrassed, because I forgot what I was saying. I was shaking from excitement, forgetting what I was saying, blushing, feeling like my legs would give out any second, and trying not to cry from joy.
I finally finished by saying the quote, "Hold onto your dreams, the future is built on dreams." Peter remembered it and nodded while saying yes :D
I knew if I was in that room any longer I would probably collapse, so I started quickly walking out. My dad had to remind me to grab the box. So I quickly grabbed the box while blurting out "Thank you so much!" And paced out of the room, and down the hallway, while hanging my head low still trying not to cry from happiness.
. . .
I'm not the kind of person who normally acts like that, but Peter's presence made me find out how I really can be when I'm overwhelmed, with new emotions and feelings I never felt before so strongly :)
