But if you don't know what I mean, I'm talking about that situation where that one fan tells bits and pieces of their meeting with a celebrity. Something I've done only twice. Darn. But back to the subject.
When it does happen, it's either a good thing or a bad thing. Good, meaning that when you do meet a celebrity, they're very nice to you. Ask your name, say you have pretty eyes, say thanks for saying they're beautiful and so forth. There's bad, though, if they're rude, or don't even care to ask your name, or act as if you asking for an autograph is a burden they hate to bare. That's not really nice.
But folks, what I'm getting at right now is just something really cool and uplifting. I got this message from the PCO (or Soapzone, whatever) MB a couple of weeks back that really touched my heart. I thought it was like, really cool. Famous people really are nice. LOL. I've always known that though, I guess. There are just some bad seeds, if you know what I mean. So yeah, here's the kick ass message (my comments are in italics):
Subject: Jacob Young has to be one of the nicest people I've ever met!

Not that I've met so many famous people, but he is one sweetie (and hottie)! (DUH he's a hottie. Shit) I was standing outside Radio City's entrance where all the stars walk in. Most of the people around me were NBC soap fans and were screaming for their soaps. I saw Jacob and Coltin standing there (recasts sticking together. Gotta love that)and motioned for both of them to come over and THEY DID - directly to me!!!!! (Okay, HOLY SHIT, I woulda been shittin bricks right there. No lie. Sorry for the graphics, but it's true) I told Jacob ''it's all about Emily'' and he laughed and said it probably wouldn't happen. (why can I see him saying that? What's wrong with me, I don't know) Coltin is sooo much better looking in real life (It's not like I know that from experience, but he's pretty cute. But yeah, OMG, this is off subject, but does anyone watch Making the Band? I SWEAR, there's this guy who has the same face structure and look as he does. It cracks me up everytime cuz I keep thinking it's him when it ain't). Jacob seems very genuine and looks DIRECTLY at you when he's speaking.(Okay, stop right there. I like that. I really really, REALLY like that. I like it when a person, ESPECIALLY a celebrity looks right at you when they're talking. if they look in all different kinds of directions, that pisses me off. HELLO, over here ya bastard.) Afterwards, I went to where the party was and he remembered me! Before I could say anything to him, he said ''it's not happening with Emily'' and laughed. (LMAO...I can see him saying that yet again. I love this guy) Wow - I was amazed. (Shit, me too)I got a picture with him, Coltin, Michael (Juan), Tava and Frank Scanlon from PC. ("Lucky" bitch LOL)
I must say though, Cameron Mathison from AMC is definitely the most patient person. He has hoards of people around him and he never turned anyone down for an autograph or picture. (It ain't GH related, but that dude's got it goin on. He just look kinda hurt lately...oh well, whatever)
It was an amazing day - it all started at 4pm when I got there and ended at 1:30am when I got home!!!

There you have it. Wasn't that hella fucking cool? I swear...I mean, I didn't think that I would ever like Mr. Young, but I'm totally killing myself here. He's just taking me by the neck and dragging me along for the ride. He's an alright guy. And I hate the fact that some people aren't even TRYING to give him a chance. I know that it's hard to get used to it, believe me, I know. It's still hard for me. But like, we can't punish Jacob for something he didn't do. He didn't ASK to get casted in the role that Jonathan Jackson made popular. Well, maybe he did, he tried out, but you know what I mean. He didn't ask to be like, disliked, ya know? I just got this email from someone, and I heard that he was watching tapes, and trying to see how he can improve, and be better in the role. You know what that fucking shows you guys? That fucking shows that he has the guts, that he has the balls...to improve himself, to improve his craft. Fuck if I'm crazy, but, that's what I call an actor. He can call himself on his mistakes and his faults and try to make himself better. That's fucking priceless if you ask me. You can't find many actors out there who can do that. You'll find those who are just like, screw it or whatever. But him, no, he wants to be better. You could say he has passion, a lot of it. And I admire that. We all gotta admire that. I just wish we would all just stop acting like babies and just like accept the fact that Jacob is now in the role. I'm not saying he "IS" Lucky, it's just that...well, JJ ain't coming back anymore. I think we can all agree that that's what it is, and that's how it's gonna be. No doubt. For people to just diss him based on his looks *cough*MichaelLogan*cough* is shady. One word: HATERISM. Damn haters. Don't hate...congratulate.
It just kinda pisses me off, ya know? I mean, I've gotten emails from lots of you guys out there. It's not that I'm ungrateful, or that I'm tryna disrespect you guys...I love all the people who email me and talk to me. But it's like, I feel really bad for Jacob. I think he's a good guy, a great actor. He's probably like the nicest guy out there, I'll bet. At first I was like, "ill" like all of you guys. I was ready to just push him aside, but that's not true anymore. I've watched, and he's been good in the role. But you know what really reeled me in you guys? That little story up above. Stories like that, I say, make the person, the person behind the glamour and shit. For real. From that story, I mean, I'm not saying I know the guy a whole lot, but like, if someone did that to me, you know I'd be chillin with that person in a second, that they'd be my friend.
Anyways, you guys, it's not like I'm trying to change your minds or anything, do whatever you want. I'm just trying to make you guys see what you're missing. I mean, the poor baby runs his lines until 4am. It makes me want to cry, but it also makes me wanna smile. I just love that about people. Just trying to do their best even if it seems that the whole world is against them. I just admire that so much. It's cute though when I think about it...him in his jammy jams saying "You and Lizzie should be together...not me" LOL. But Jacob, baby, you need your sleep though. Sleep is VERY important (to me anyways).
Enough sadness or whatever LOL. I just wanted to let everyone see that this guy is just amazing in every way. He surprises me whenever I hear about him. For real...I never thought he would do what he did for that chick up above (neither Coltin. Yowza!) but that was just so fucking nice of him. Didn't expect that, really. Jacob's cool. He's cool in my book, and that's final.
If anyone who knows him personally, or if he's reading this...you're doing a really good job, and I support you, man. LOL. Keep up the good work, and like, just keep being you :)
