I made 2 wall hangings, rug hookings, for David. I do the design myself and I also cut my own wool and hook them together. I had done one for his character and one for him. (translation - one said Billy Abbott and the other one said David Tom. Both had the Y&R log in the middle)He was surprised. Nevermind the fact he thought there was one to start, but when I turned them around, he saw that there were two. I can't describe how it makes me feel, still, to get the reaction I got. AMAZING will have to do. All I wanted to do was give him something to say thank you for making my day a little brighter. If I got a pattened DT smile with it, that was o.k. too.
What blew me away even more is, David at that, point signed my photo but gave me a few minutes of his time to talk about the wall hangings. He knew EXACTLY what they were. If you could only see the way he moved his hands in the video, you'de know he knew what he was talking about. Thank you a zillion times over for that David!! Then like a flash, he was gone.
I will take this with me through life and when I'm a little old lady I can say, I met that young man in the Summer of 2000. I'm totally hooked!! If I get the chance I would LOVE to see him again. Maybe in Seattle on the 9th of Sept. It would be a trip for me, but I definately think David is worth it!! If not, you can bet I'll do everything to get the City of Champions to have him back here again.
That was my brush with an Emmy award winner, or my brush with greatness. Thank you again, David!!
Renee-Anne Meets David Tom!!!!
"One of the kewlest days of my life!!!." ~Renee-Ann
On the 15th of August...my friend Allison who was my friend since grade 10
came to our house[she lives in Fort Saskatchewan]....she wanted to go toEdmonton
Center so of course I said okay because I was going to ask her anyway!! Wedidnt
know that David Tom[aka Billy Abbott]was going to be there until we saw thesign
that said he was! I was like OH MY GOD I WANT TO MEET HIM!!! And she waslike
I CANT MEET HIM BECAUSE IM GOING TO BE GONE THAT DAY! YOURE LUCKY! And thenat
first I remembered we were going to see our mom that day so I was like doh!!!
Every few minutes we would say something about David!! We couldnt meet himDOH!
Well...that changed after!!! My mom said that we could go to her house
the nextday instead!! I was so happy!! I am not saying I dont want to see my
mombut this is a once in a lifetime chance to meet him probably!! Allison still
couldnt see him because she was going to Calgary. I was so happy I got to go
still!!
Four days later...August 19 2000....I dont have a car so I was stuck
with thestinking bus which could be annoying...its sometimes full of weird
people..once
in a blue moon that is. But I didnt care!! Two days before...I bought acamera
to take pictures of him talking!! I brought the camera and a letter for him
there. I wished someone I knew was going to be there but oh well. Iobviously
survived being there alone. I was waiting by the Edmonton Center food
court stupid
me!! It was the Eaton Center food court where he was going to be!!!So I
litterally ran there because I didnt want to miss him at all!! There was akind
of big crowd there and there was a lady talking. She was someone from the
EdmontonJournal who has her own column every Sunday. She was answering
questionsand telling
everyone that they have to be patient because she is tired and doesnt want
to snapat anyone. Someone asked her if 3 Deep was coming back to Edmonton and
no wasthe answer. No it was nothing to do with Edmonton or anything...Eddie
Cibrianis a fireman on a show called "Third Watch" and she said he is really
busy andplus he is doing other movies and shows! She messed up and said that
Eddieplays
the fireman on 3 Deep! Then she said she meant Third Watch. Soon the kewlwords
"Here is David Tom who plays Billy Abbott on the "Young and the Restless"!
He cameout with a few body guards[to keep the obsessed fans away of course!]and
lookedsooo cute! He was wearing a red shirt. People asked questions and I was
one of them!!
Some lady thanked him for coming to Edmonton and everything!
I took pictures of him and I hope they are close up
enough to tell who it is!!! I was close up to him and everything but thecamera
also is outdoors so it might not be as clear as I want them to be! Oh well!
Then came the signing!!! We had to stand in a line up but it wasnt thatbig!
I got two of them one for me and Allison! If she cant go there herself itwould
be nice of me to at least get her an autograph too!! I know how much shewanted
to go so I got her an autograph. I gave them to him to sign and signedthem and
looked up at me and smiled and said "Here you go!" and I thanked him andhes like
"Uh huh!" excitedly! It was so cute!
Then we had to go back in line for getting pictures with him! That was
the kewlest
part!! He put his arm around my shoulder and looked down and said HI HOWS
IT GOING?and smiled!! Then we looked at the photographer and I layed on his
shoulder and
then took the picture! Then hes like HAVE A GOOD ONE and I could stillfeel his
arm on my right shoulder!!
I will never throw the pictures away...ever!! He is one of the nicest guys
Ive met!! Even if I didnt talk to him much! I cant believe how happy helooks
with me in the picture!!
I hope he comes back to Edmonton again one day! I will definitely meet
him again!
Oh yeah I forgot to give him the letter but who cares right? I met him and
touchedhim for crying out loud! Half of the questions on the letter were the
sameonespeople asked anyway!
Anyone who says that he is stuck up or anything...youre wrong! The money for
the pictures is going to charity they said! If that's not nice then I dont
know what is! People shouldn't say things unless it happened to them!!
Meeting David
By: Deanna Dettling, A True Fan!
My mom and me arrived at Eaton's Centre at about 9:30 am we sat there drank juice, and talked. People started getting in to the first row, so me and my mom quickly went and we we're in the first row. I wore my blue jeans that are kewl, and a tank top with my hair all done nicely, hehe! I gotta look good for him! just kidding. hehe =) It was kewl hearing people talk about them, alot of snobby fans though! Especially the girls, but I met some really sweet people!
Finally the time arrived he showed up at about 11:05 am and he walked out. He was wearing blue baggy jeans, and a red shirt that showed some of his skin, he looked very good looking! Everyone screamed and all I could do was stare at him, when you see someone on tv they seem so fake, but when u see them in person its amazing the feeling u get. He answered questions, and was very shy and kept looking down at the ground, was very cute!
Some of the questions we're: Boxers or Briefs? He said Briefs! Some of the people asked also What type of girl would u go for Mackenzie or Brittany, he kept blushing coz he was scared what too say, but he thought about it and said mackenzie, he says he likes a girl who has a good head on her shoulders and he said he's a down to earth guy, so he wants a down to earth girl. And he said brittany wouldnt be his type cause shes to much of a hassle and handful. He talked about dogs he had, he has 9 dogs in all, wow!! Someone asked if he's single, and he went uhhh blushing, he's like yes and all the girls freaked out. I also noticed he kept going uhh ummm, all blushing, was very adorable n sexy. hehe =) David kept looking at me and smiling, then I was amazed that he turned my way, gave me this sexy look with a frown then winked, I blushed soooooo much!!! My face musta been bright red, he smiled and I smiled back. Throughout the questions me and him made total eye contact constantly, and we kept smiling lots!
Finally the questions we're over and was autograph time. I went up too him and leaned on the table, and his security was like "dont lean on the table" I got so angry, but I said too David "Your an amazing actor, your doing a great job" me and him both ignored the security guard and we had this moment.. Well it was a moment too me... We just starred at each other, and my mouth was so dry coz we both made total eye contact, just imagine u in front of David and him starring in your eyes for 2 seconds, I blushed and told him thanks, he flashed me a smile and said no problem! I also gave him a note I wrote, he looked at it for awhile, and seen what I wrote on the outside it said "Too David, Please Read!!" he smiled and said thanks so much and smiled. Everyone was waiting around for poloroid pictures and finally my turn came up. I walked up, and David just poured coffee on his red shirt, he's like "oh no!" I went "uh oh" he looked up at me and smiled. He's like "Oh well" He looked at me put his hand on my arm and said "How are u?" I smiled and said "Great now that I'm standing beside u" I couldn't believe I said that!!! I was thinking it, but never meant to say it, I felt my face turn bright red!!! He blushed so much, I put my arm on his back and said "your such a sweetie" and I kept rubbing his back, and he kept smiling at me. He smiled and said thanks so much, he put his arm around my waist, but in the picture you can't see it coz the lady cut that part off, grrr! I went and got my pic and almost hugged him and the girls like "no!" *the promotion team, there very snobby!!!! David said sorry and I just smiled, and when I was walking away I saw him look at me smiling. I was like oh my god!!!! Also it was almost the end, and we we're all just watching him take pictures, and he kept looking at me and smiling, and winked at me again, I swear I've never heard of him doing this to any girls coz he is so shy, but he was such a sweetie too me, and a total flirt! hehe! Also this girl in a wheel chair came up and he posed for a pic with her, he was so sweet and smiled, he is a very nice person, he's shy at first, but he's a total sweetie!! Also my mom and me left, and guess what?? We we're walking up stairs and we seen him leaving the mall, and he looked back at me and smiled, I blushed, my mom kept poking me coz she seen it. hehe!! =) Also I gave him a note, and he put it in the box, I hope he reads it! =)
All I can say is David is a very down too earth person, who likes to flirt with me. lol just kidding! But seriousely, he's very down to earth and a true gentlemen. He seems to not like his security and promotion team, because they wouldnt let u touch him at all, its so dumb, but he touched me. hehe!! I'm glad I went and I'll never forget all those smiles, winks, and talks we had, we seriousely had something going on. hehe well it was cute, but I love him very much, and if u ever hear that he is coming too your city, god dont even think about it GOOOO!!! He is a sweetie, you will just fall in love with his shyness and true sweet smile.
Thanx for listening too my review, I'm very lucky too meet a sweet down to earth celebrity, its my 2nd encounter with a celebrity, but David is the sweetest one yet! =)
