uhm..
so this has been happening since AI started.

today this kid asked me something, not important what it was. but what my friend told him after is the problem.

she said something along the lines of...

"she's in love with someone named david"

ok so i thought she was going to leave it at that, but no.
she goes on to say this

"she's creepy obsessed with him. almost stalkerish. she's madly in love with him"

and i'm just like
excuse me?!

ever since i've liked david [pretty much the whole show] all my friends keep asking me "why are you so obsessed with him"
and just comments like that. but this particular one takes it too far. every day she says stuff like that. and it really bothers me. i mean really, would you want your friends to tell you you're crazy obsessed with someone it's almost stalkerish?
and i can guarantee i don't stalk him.
it's just annoying how she keeps saying stuff like that, and of course i keep denying it. cause it's really not true, i really hate it when people tell me i'm obsessed with a person. yet she keeps doing it.

and i don't know what to doooo

i've already told one of my friends that i don't like it when people say i'm "obsessed" with him, and being the good friend/person she is, she stopped.

now i'm not saying she's a bad person or anything.
but ya.

i'm sorry for wasting everyone's time. i just needed to get it off my chest and i felt like my friends would find it a weird subject to get annoyed over, and i just sort of feel better saying it over here.

I'm sorry to hear that. What I would do, is just not talk about DC or anything AI related with those particular friends.
I can barely talk about DC with anyone because NONE of my friends watch AI!
Only family of mine watch it, but NONE of them are DC fans like me. However, they all know about my crush on him, which they tease me about and I just ignore. But I just come here to talk about DC and AI. I don't talk about it anywhere else. They probably would think I was "obsessed" cuz they don't "GET IT."
Don't worry! We're here!

Also -- I thought it was cute on the Idol Tonight last night, when Justin G was asking a girl in the audience about what she liked about DC, and she said, "What's there NOT to like???" And he said, "Yeah, you and my girlfriend!"
So there are many of us all around the globe who feel the SAME EXACT way about our David Cook.

ahah.
yea but i just don't understand why they have to say it

just because he's my favorite contestant, i'm automatically "obsessed" with him?
is that how it goes? lmao

oh well

Awww. I know the feeling. It happens to me A LOT. I hate when people do things like that when they KNOW it upsets you. I have one friend that calls David a creeper and she's only seen a couple of pictures of him. And then i'm apparently a creeper and a stalker for admiring his musical talents and having a crush on him Just like the rest of you DC girls Fortunately I found out one of my friends loved DC to but she wasn't saying anything because she didn't want to be picked on. Now we can listen to him and talk about him all we want. I've learned not to care about what other people say. I've just accepted that.

But I agree it's probably best not to talk to those people about those things. Just chill here and chat with us because we "get it".

If I start talking about David a second later I'm told to shut up.
I'm not obsessed with him at all.
I just love him a lot

yea i dont talk about him. only to my friend who gets obsessed with people too so she understands. I have to pretend to be normal around other people.

I'm really sorry this happened to you. I can relate, as i have more then a few times felt like an outsider among some of the people i went to school with/ worked with. All i can tell you is...there is nothing wrong with what you feel. And you are obviously not alone in feeling it. People who tease others, have something wrong with themselves. and they are just trying to push all the self-doubt they have on to someone else. Remember that...you're a mighty cool chick Lyndsey. And you have the support of all the Word Nerds. And we can be mighty ferocious if we have to be

*hug*

aw.. im sorry i definitely know how you feel...


now i need to vent a little.. ok so alllllll of my friends DO NOT like David C. they like David A. and tuesday night i texted my best friend and asked her to please vote for DC, and she was like NO im voting for DA. and i was like just one vote.. and she was all.. *i wont post what she said* ughhh.. i was sooo mad! >:|

aww it's okay don't sweat the small stuff *hug*
I'll bet they don't really think that about you...maybe they're just trying to get on your nerves for fun?
well pshhh don't ask me, I AM obsessed with him...and in a very stalkerish way at that ;]

Okay, here's my thoughts, considering I feel the same way, and I'm wondering why I'm having such a crazy fangirl reaction to someone on TV, and I've NEVER done that before. Because of the format of AI with all of the extras and interviews, we learn so much about the contestants. We actually learn a lot more about them than a guy we might crush on in school or at work. He is such an incredibly hot and talented guy and then after finding out through interviews that he's ridiculously funny, smart, and caring, it's only natural that we might develop some serious crushes. I really hate that it's only a one-sided thing and while we know so much about him, he doesn't know anything about any of us. I'm positive that out of all of us, he could find his dream girl.

Oh man, I can really relate with this. I'm really sorry to hear that this is happening. People can be so ridiculous when it comes to things they don't understand. I'd probably just try not to talk about him around your friends if I were you, even though I know it's difficult. I know that I have a tendency to want to tell everyone in sight about how excited I am about his performance, something awesome he's done, etc. I've been attempting to keep it a secret because I know how my family and friends are...

My problem is with my mom of all people. The day before yesterday she started to go off the deep end, attacking him. She told me she wondered if he was on drugs because of the "weird looks" he gives on stage (huh?). Then she went on about his "crazy" hairstyles and his forehead, asked me if he was gay, and then told me she thought Archie would win. I was just sitting there in the car thinking, what on earth? It was like she was trying to make me not like him or something. It was strange because she's always been a fan of his music on the show and has mentioned before that she wants him to win. I haven't even mentioned to her that I'm attracted to him. The only evidence she has seen is the David wallpaper I have up on my computer. Of course, right after I put it up is when she started in...

I love my mom, but I don't get what she was trying to do. What's wrong with a crush?

So yeah, I know the feeling. Thank God we have the internet, right? *hug*

hugs to everyone!


LOL.

*hugs everyone back*

i've taken all of this into consideration and decided that i will only talk about dc/ai if someone else brings it up first..

unless i really need to and just can't hold it in

you know at least i have one friend that will keep something like that to herself, no matter how annoying i'll get about it she'll just let me keep going on and on and on.
thank God for best friends

OMG!!! i get this too!!! it makes me so mad!!! i just wish it would stop. i dont' talk about him at shcool or anything. they just grrrrrrrr. make me mad. i dont' stalk him. i just love his music.
pisses me off!

I have your problem in reverse, hon. I am the love-crazed, obsessed mom with the very disapproving 18 year old senior in HS daughter. She says things that sound just like your mom. Sometimes I think I have inadvertently made her a little jealous by going so goofy over this guy barely older than her whom I will never meet and anyway, it isn't like it is serious for me the way I am with my husband. That is the man I have to hold for life so long as we both live.

What I feel for David is something else entirely. It is a kind of adoration and fascination, and pure enjoyment of both his talent and his darling personality. He is really worth watching as you all know. And even more worth listening to. When I was listening to "All I Need is You" it made me cry b/c it made me think of my husband--we have been through some really wrenching hard times together, heart-breaking, and have almost split up, but recently have gotten back together, stronger than ever. I think listening to David made me more open and more sensitive and willing to take that risk.

I will end this sermon by just saying: When someone has an impact like THAT--how could I expect anyone else to relate to why I love David so much except for others, like all of you, who also feel him and experience him as I do. No way could a sweet little teeny like David A, or a mellow dude like Jason, or a diva like Syesha, ever ever ever do for me what DC has, does and will always do for me.

I will always love him.
