So, the idea behind this thread is to have a little place to come for emotional support.

Considering how emotional a lot of us are finding ourselves lately, i figured it might be nice to have a place to come for a shoulder to cry on, a friend to listen to you...whatever you may need.

Word Nerds need to stick together. smile.gif

I'm a word nerd who needs to be hugged.

Like David, I won't be able to spend Mother's Day with my mom (she's in Pennsylvania and I'm in California.) She is one of my best friends and it sucks around this time of year because we both just had our birthdays and, of course, Mother's Day.

That's another reason why today was emotional. I love that DC is so close to his mom. Awww..I'm going to cry!

This thread was a good idea. We can all be emotional together..lol

this thread is a GREAT IDEA.

goodness......*HUGS* I hate that you and your mom have to be so far apart. I can't imagine how hard that's gotta be. Be strong,I know...easier said than done,but I think it's all I can offer. That and a shoulder to cry on,and I listen well.....if you wanna talk.

Aww, I'm lucky that I do have the opportunity to spend Mother's Day with my mom. I'm sorry you live so far apart.

Yep, that's what this thread is for, being emotional together laugh.gif

HUGS out to you. i can totally relate to your situation. being a college student i barely see my mom even though she lives 4hrs away from me and im so busy with school... and Cookie too. lol. but im glad that i get to see my parents finally next week after my finals. i hope you get to see you mom too soon!:)
miss.gee
Thanks 4 making this thread. Everybody need support, even for the littlest thing. smile.gif btw, is it already mother's day in US? bc in my country mother's day is on Dec 22. and usually (this gonna make me look like a terrible daughter...seriously) i do nothing...i do sumting great for her on her b'day, tough. biggrin.gif

This is a really great idea.
It's amazing how much our Cookie has been able to reach out to so many different people without even knowing it! I read through the emotional thread, and I just find it so amazing that even though we've all been through so many different things, we all manage to feel each other's pain. David has a huge heart, and I think that to be able to truly appreciate him as we all do, we have to have pretty big hearts as well.

For me David couldn't have come along at a better time. For years I've dealt with some severe "self-destructive tendencies" and I was kind of at a crossroads in my life. I felt like I could either stick with what I'd come to know, and probably end up in the hospital, or I could try to take hold of my life once more and attempt to get better. By that point I was pretty much convinced that it was hopeless, but then I started getting more and more into our David. I started looking forward to seeing him every week, and it became a much needed distraction. Music has always been my passion, and it's pretty much the only thing that I've ever been good at, but for a while I lost sight of this. thanks to David I began to rediscover my own love of music, and I started writing again. I've even made it my goal to one day work with David, weather it be opening for him, or recording a song with him, or just hanging out and jamming one day. I know it's probably nothing more than a pipe dream, but it'll hopefully keep me going.

But I must say I've been getting really sad lately, because I feel like I've gotten to know him in a way through the show, and after the finally I won't be able to have that to look forward too. I'm not even positive that I'll be able to see him on tour and I'm so afraid that things will get bad again, and I just can't let that happen.

I'm sorry I went off on such a rant, but I just needed to get a few things off of my chest.

Don't apologize for venting..that's what this (and we) are here for!

You definitely need a hug.

*HUGS*

I think that David would be so proud of his fans for being not only supportive of him, but supportive of each other as well.

A hug to all word nerds here...


A thought just popped out of my mind imagining what it feels like all the word nerds and of course David having AN ENORMOUS HUG EVENT....


hmmm.... I feel the Love even if I am just seeing it on my head.

Wow, I just love my girls so much.

*BIG HUGS*

I'm definitely feeling emotional right now. DH wants to go to bed soon, but I have a feeling I won't be sleeping right away.

And yeah, it is SO great that David was able to be with his mom today. I'm grateful I will be spending part of my Saturday with my mom!
Dyann
I love the idea of this thread, because we can all use a shoulder now and then...for those of you celebrating Mother's Day this year, just please rememer to tell her you love her with all your heart. I lost my mom a little over a year ago, so this is my 2nd one without her...I know she is always by my side, and I know she passed over knowing that I loved her, but still--if I could only tell her one more time...

Say whatever you want to here...that's what this place is for.
I know how you feel about being sad at the thought of not having Tuesdays to look forward to anymore. sad.gif But just remember, there will still be loads of stuff going on. And if you can't get to the concerts, I'm sure there will be tons of pictures and videos floating around. And if worse comes to worse, we could just kidnap Mr Cook and drop him off at your house for a couple days. But seriously, we're all here for you. smile.gif

The power of David's music is universal, and i for one, feel lucky to be part of such a great group of people as The Word Nerds.

I was listening to "Always Be My Baby" (the DC version of course) and when I read what you just wrote I couldn't help but cry. You definitely need hugs.

What a good idea for a thread.
And with that said, I think I'm going to take a bit of a break from the board.
Here goes.
Most of you (actually none of you) know a damn thing about me, and that's been by my choosing. I have just been through hell with someone turning on me that I thought I could trust with my life, so I am not anxious to open up to anyone right now. I truly hate that, because I am about the most open person you could ever want to meet... but I have been burned so badly that I have had to change it all.
I'm sure the general impression of me is that I am some kind of deviant that is basically just interested in screwing David's brains out.
That couldn't be further from the truth.
I am someone else in that well known thread. Someone WAY more outgoing than my actual self.
I definitely care about DC as a person, respect him as a musician... I just don't think I've said that anywhere.

But as far as stepping away, this is why.
Friday SUCKED for me. It started at work... So when I get home, I fire up the PC, and get ready to have some fun.
Almost forgetting what Friday was.
David's day.
So what do I see but tons of threads running, full of understandably excited posts about all that was going on all day. I would have loved to have joined in.
But I couldn't take part in it. Couldn't watch, couldn't listen... nothing.
I should have been HAPPY for everyone here that was enjoying it.
I should have been HAPPY knowing how much this day must have meant to him.
But I wasn't. Because I couldn't watch it.
I sat here... feeling detached, isolated, alone, and about a million miles away from everything.
Letting it get in the way of what the whole day was about- a celebration in honor of someone who truly deserves it.
I know, its pathetic, its sad, and most of all, its selfish.
Oh yeah, and its unbelievably wrong.
I've been depressed all night and I feel pretty damn stupid about it.
I guess it was reading everyone's (understandably) emotional posts about how amazing it was to see that just finally got to me. I've felt that I could always jump right in to any topic on here, and suddenly there was nowhere to go. For the first time, I felt like I didn't belong here, because I couldn't be a part of it.
I was nearly in tears... everyone was so damn happy and I was feeling completely left out.
I am seriously pissed off at myself for feeling like this.
I am definitely thrilled that he got this day... thats what this should be all about, whether I got to watch it or not.
I am happy for all of you that got to witness it.
I just wish I could have "been there" and shared in the excitement with y'all.

Well, now that I've gotten that long and winding ramble out of my system, I feel a bit better.
I want to blame this on a total lack of sleep, so that when I wake up and see this later on, I'll wonder what the hell was wrong with me. Because I am so not like this.
You'll see...


Dyann
Thanks for the hugs, Em--just yesterday I started crying while I was driving in the car, thinking about her and the good times we shared...she really was my best friend. Every time the phone rings, I think "God, what I wouldn't give to have that be mom calling--even if it was something small or meaningless." However, I know she is with me--I'll have to post some of the signs I have gotten some other time. To everyone on here that has lost a loved one--trust me, they are still with us and there IS something beautiful out there that we pass over into...Ok, enough melodramatics for me...I'm depressing myself...Where's a pic of David's booty??? LOL

First of all, sure, you're popular in the "fangirls" thread, we love you in there, but we know that isn't the ONLY thing you think about. I'm sure a lot of people here that don't "get" the fangirl thread think that about all of us in there, but WE know that's not true. So don't think we think of you that way smile.gif

Secondly, I'm so sorry that you can't open up to us, but it's perfectly fine, and I completely understand that. I'm not the most open person either. Trust is one of the HARDEST things for me to establish with a person I don't know. The thing is though, I feel like I have another family here on the board. The group of girls here that have opened up their arms to me and taken me in as a part of the group mean a lot to me. I guess that's why I trust them enough to open up about the things I did tonight. But, that doesn't mean that you have to.

Don't feel bad about feeling that way toward us about the DC day stuff. I can totally understand where you're coming from. If I had gotten on here without seeing everything today and everyone was so excited about it, I'd be pretty upset, too. When I first got here today, it was about 2 pm and I had missed all of the morning activities and I thought I'd missed EVERYTHING and I got really bummed out, but thankfully I hadn't missed everything. But you know, people are going to have EVERYTHING available to download soon so you can see it. I know it's not the same, but at least it'll be up.

Thanks Steph.
As far as opening up to people... I tend to do that way too easily, before I know a person well enough, and I pour out heart and soul only to get it thrown back in my face. This last person was someone I considered the sister I never had... I told her everything, and then at the slightest sign of trouble, not only did she bolt, but she told everyone she knew everything about me, including the most intimate, personal details, and now they all think I'm a freak of nature. Which is lovely every time I see any of them. So, she pretty much sealed the deal as far as not opening up to people, at least for now. Maybe you guys can change my mind a bit... Never know.

And please know that I am not annoyed with anyone on the board about going nuts about all the Friday stuff. Hell, if I'd been watching, I'd have been all over it and not thinking twice. I was home in plenty of time to see some of it, if I had the capabilities... which I don't. You can't watch videos or streaming live footage with dial up, and that is where I stand. So, I know there are already downloads of a lot of it up there, but that is impossible too. A 139 MB video file... with dial up, probably take about a week to download for me. And seeing it well after the fact, I just don't know if it would have the same impact as on the day. Geez... I knew I wouldn't be able to watch anything... I guess I just didn't know there would be so much out there, and that it would affect me the way it did. So I just spent the evening having a pity party for myself, knowing that I'll get the three minute recap on the show on Tuesday. Its definitely not the same, but its about all I got.
I'm still thinking of taking a break for a day or two, just until the excitement starts to die down a bit. Its just really frustrating and I would rather focus on things that are on the positive side. Beides, you know I can only stay away from certain places for so long...
Thanks for the hugs...

I have a feeling that this week will be an emotional rollercoaster...even more of a reason to have a thread like this.
Lord knows, by the time Tues and (Lord help me) Wed rolls around, i'm going to need a place to be my pathetic, weepy self.

And even besides all that...it's nice to have a place to be open and honest about stuff going on in your life. A place where people can listen, give advice and just be supportive. smile.gif

So, I know there are already downloads of a lot of it up there, but that is impossible too. A 139 MB video file... with dial up, probably take about a week to download for me. And seeing it well after the fact, I just don't know if it would have the same impact as on the day. Geez... I knew I wouldn't be able to watch anything... I guess I just didn't know there would be so much out there, and that it would affect me the way it did. So I just spent the evening having a pity party for myself, knowing that I'll get the three minute recap on the show on Tuesday. Its definitely not the same, but its about all I got.
I'm still thinking of taking a break for a day or two, just until the excitement starts to die down a bit. Its just really frustrating and I would rather focus on things that are on the positive side. Beides, you know I can only stay away from certain places for so long...
Thanks for the hugs...

Steph pretty much covered everything I wanted to say. I feel *so* blessed to have met the women who have come into my life because of this board! *HUGS*

I posted a thread about David Cook fans and now I don't see it anymore.

I didn't know where else to mention this fact so I decided to mention it here.

Where could it have gone? sad.gif

I have a feeling that this week will be an emotional rollercoaster...even more of a reason to have a thread like this.
Lord knows, by the time Tues and (Lord help me) Wed rolls around, i'm going to need a place to be my pathetic, weepy self.

And even besides all that...it's nice to have a place to be open and honest about stuff going on in your life. A place where people can listen, give advice and just be supportive. smile.gif

Oh God...I will definitely need this thread on Wednesday. I can be FINE all the way up to Wednesday EVENING without feeling nervous. But around 3-4 pm, I start getting really nervous and my stomach gets into knots and I just start worrying. For the past 2 result shows, both times they started, I got extremely sick to my stomach and upset out of fear and nerves LoL I know this week is probably going to be the worst one for me because it determines if he's in the finale or not...and God help me if Syesha beats him to the finale...and God help anyone in my way laugh.gif I'd probably have to stay off of the board for a couple days while I calmed down if it did happen LoL

Yeah..I checked up to page 3. It's been kind of quiet around here this morning so I don't think it was moved down.

Weird!

It just like, POOF, vanished into thin air.

Oh well..what it said basically was that you guys rock and thanks for being awesome!

I'm a word nerd who needs to be hugged.

Like David, I won't be able to spend Mother's Day with my mom (she's in Pennsylvania and I'm in California.) She is one of my best friends and it sucks around this time of year because we both just had our birthdays and, of course, Mother's Day.

That's another reason why today was emotional. I love that DC is so close to his mom. Awww..I'm going to cry!

This thread was a good idea. We can all be emotional together..lol


oh my, i feel for you *hugs you tightly*
i could never imagine not having to spend time with my mom, she's my rock and i love her so much.




i had a good cry yesterday but not because i was sad or anything (probably i was but even so, i have no idea why i would be) but i was happy that i finally got a job that i always wanted and everything happened in an instant. usually people won't get an answer till about a week after the interview but the company called me about two hours after and told me that i'm hired, i'm so blessed by it because i've been trying so damn hard to get that position. *sighs in relief*

What a good idea for a thread.
And with that said, I think I'm going to take a bit of a break from the board.
Here goes.
Most of you (actually none of you) know a damn thing about me, and that's been by my choosing. I have just been through hell with someone turning on me that I thought I could trust with my life, so I am not anxious to open up to anyone right now. I truly hate that, because I am about the most open person you could ever want to meet... but I have been burned so badly that I have had to change it all.
I'm sure the general impression of me is that I am some kind of deviant that is basically just interested in screwing David's brains out.
That couldn't be further from the truth.
I am someone else in that well known thread. Someone WAY more outgoing than my actual self.
I definitely care about DC as a person, respect him as a musician... I just don't think I've said that anywhere.

But as far as stepping away, this is why.
Friday SUCKED for me. It started at work... So when I get home, I fire up the PC, and get ready to have some fun.
Almost forgetting what Friday was.
David's day.
So what do I see but tons of threads running, full of understandably excited posts about all that was going on all day. I would have loved to have joined in.
But I couldn't take part in it. Couldn't watch, couldn't listen... nothing.
I should have been HAPPY for everyone here that was enjoying it.
I should have been HAPPY knowing how much this day must have meant to him.
But I wasn't. Because I couldn't watch it.
I sat here... feeling detached, isolated, alone, and about a million miles away from everything.
Letting it get in the way of what the whole day was about- a celebration in honor of someone who truly deserves it.
I know, its pathetic, its sad, and most of all, its selfish.
Oh yeah, and its unbelievably wrong.
I've been depressed all night and I feel pretty damn stupid about it.
I guess it was reading everyone's (understandably) emotional posts about how amazing it was to see that just finally got to me. I've felt that I could always jump right in to any topic on here, and suddenly there was nowhere to go. For the first time, I felt like I didn't belong here, because I couldn't be a part of it.
I was nearly in tears... everyone was so damn happy and I was feeling completely left out.
I am seriously pissed off at myself for feeling like this.
I am definitely thrilled that he got this day... thats what this should be all about, whether I got to watch it or not.
I am happy for all of you that got to witness it.
I just wish I could have "been there" and shared in the excitement with y'all.

Well, now that I've gotten that long and winding ramble out of my system, I feel a bit better.
I want to blame this on a total lack of sleep, so that when I wake up and see this later on, I'll wonder what the hell was wrong with me. Because I am so not like this.
You'll see...




oh wow *hugs you so tightly*
i understand about not being open to others because i, myself have have been hurt so badly once before and for a while i hated everyone and tuned everyone out, even the people who's still loyal and who loved me
after a while, i saw what i was doing and i stopped that selfish act, i was myself once again but that doesn't mean i'm going to start trusting anyone that comes my way, no, but i will keep trusting the other people that i have trusted for all my life

about Friday, i wasn't too happy myself
idk what it was but i lost it, i cried my eyes out and what's weirder i just got a job that i always wanted but i was feeling depressed
but i hang my head and let the tears flow because i know if i kept it in i would burst

i guess, sometimes, there are days that doesn't feel right or something had happened, you couldn't even tune it out and you dragged it along with you the whole day/week. that happens to me a lot, don't feel bad for feeling like that because we're humans and we could only be humans.

It's not for a bad reason, though. I'm sitting here making my "There Goes My Hero" hometown visit tribute video and I'm getting all emotional again like I was last night laugh.gif
