Is there any significance to the title “Not Enough Hayden”?

Yes, thanks for asking. Our Lady Peace tune “Not Enough” (from their Gravity album) provided the inspiration. If the tagline — “I want more... and I know I shouldn’t” — sounds familiar, that’s because it was appropriated from ROTS. While Anakin Skywalker was referring to wanting more power/prestige/respect, I had something else in mind. Incidentally, I think “Not Enough” makes a decent make-out song — although not the best.

OK, I’ll bite... what’s the best make-out song?

Ha! That’s privileged information, which I will consider divulging to the right person....

So you like Our Lady Peace?

Yeah-e-yeah. Sorry, couldn’t resist. While I’m not into keeping track of Hayden’s favorite things, curiosity compelled me to check out his alleged favorite band. My initial reaction was pretty underwhelming. For some inexplicable reason I gave them a second listen and fell in love with the driving rock beat, awesome guitar parts, Raine’s incredible voice. What can I say? Hayden does have great taste in music.

Why so few pictures of Hayden?

Short answer: read the name of this website. Okay, now read it again. Got it?

The long, involved answer is that I would probably waste far too much time gazing at them. The gazillion photos at DesiringHayden.net are great but truly detrimental to my health. I’d overdose on them if I weren’t cursed with a strong sense of guilt for engaging in such folly. Frankly, I thought the boy was incapable of taking a bad picture until I saw this. Ick! While it’s a Holy Grail for some, I view the quest for the Ultimate Hayden Christensen Photograph as a futile process and one that can never be entirely sated.

The pictures of Hayden on this website reflect its theme. Each shows not enough of you-know-who. They also represent my frustration with his unobtainability to us mere mortals. Sorry if that’s too deep for ya.

Why do you refer to Hayden’s rumored fiancée Rachel Bilson as “Blanche”?

Because I am mean and spiteful? You can either go with that brazenly honest assessment or you can read the longer explanation, replete with mind-blowing survey results and dazzling statistical charts. Or, try this one: R.B, a.k.a. She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, is far too gorgeous, sweet as pumpkin pie, and has Hayden wrapped around her finger. If you believe the tabloids. Therefore her name merits no further promotion by me or this website. Capisce? Please note that your webmistress, who has always been entranced by secret decoder rings, cryptograms, and hidden messages written with lemon juice, dubbed the woman in question “Blanche Rolis,” an anagram for her real name which was mercilessly banished circa June 2008.

How many times did you see Revenge of the Sith when it was in the theater?

Suffice it to say that by the final viewing I could spout all of Anakin’s lines (“This is where the fun begins!”), and Obi-Wan’s (“You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you.”), and Padmé’s (“You’re a good person, don’t do this.”)… and Yoda’s (“Twisted by the Dark Side, young Skywalker has become. The boy you trained, gone he is… consumed by Darth Vader.”) It was a new record for me—12 sittings—leaving the old record in the dust (7 for Titanic). I single-handedly raised George Lucas’ net worth.

Do you have an opinion about the mole on Hayden’s chin?

Mmmmm… Love it! It’s what makes Hayden who he is. What’s great about it is that when you see it in a picture, you know you’re looking at the genuine article — not some impostor. I have to say it’s sexy, too, simply because I have a similar mole on my chin, jaw line actually, same side as Hayden’s.

While he is blessed with fabulous good looks (and heaps of talent), I most admire his humility and modesty. Certainly, it’s no chore to be a fan of Mr. Christensen.

Have you considered starting a ‘Not Enough Hayden’ blog?

Sure, I thought about that. Then I came to my senses. I spend a lot of too many hours reading blogs and don’t have time to feed and maintain one of my own. Plus, the pressure of meeting blog readers’ expectations is enormous. A long time ago in cyberspace, I was the webmaster of the original Joe Lando Web Page (visit the current site for some great stuff about Higher Ground). I’m familiar with the insatiable appetite of fans in general and I don’t need that kind of aggravation in my life. The beauty of this site is that I can update it any time I want. Or not at all.

Would you like to meet Hayden someday?

Is this a trick question? Um, yes, I would. But, hey, I’m a realist. Not gonna happen. How would a gal from Michigan and a guy from Ontario ever cross paths? Of course, I said something very similar about my other favorite actor, Joe Lando, before I got the chance to meet him. Trust me, it is a gut-wrenching, nerve-wracking, intimidating experience to come face-to-face with the object of one’s long-held lust. Especially when you’re a teensy-weensy bit shy like moi. But it is so totally worthwhile! I seriously doubt that Mr. Lando recalls our little rendezvous at Paramount Ranch, but I got some great candid photos, an autograph AND a smooch… okay the smooch was from his dog. So, I guess there’s a lesson in all this. Dreams do come true sometimes. Coincidentally, I do have a cousin who resides in Thornhill, Ontario (Hayden’s hometown), so it’s not out of the realm of possibility that we might bump into each other one day.

Peace,
Kathy
