“I Assaulted David Archuleta”
13 Comments | Posted by Meagan on Jul 09 at 12:12 pm
HAHAHAHAH!! A highly amusing read. Leave a comment for Jared here.
I flew into Los Angeles today and accidentally assaulted David Archuleta in the process.
I was seated in the front, bulkhead row of cabin class and when the plane stopped at LAX, I stood up, squeezed through traffic, pulled down my bag from the overhead compartment, and then tried to back into the galley area right by the exit door. I didn’t realize that while I was getting my bag, David had come from First Class and had occupied the area immediately where I was backing. I smacked him pretty hard with my backpack. Of course this is perfectly understandable because in real life David is roughly the height and build of Frodo Baggins.
I immediately apologized and he said it was OK. It took me a few moments to realize who it was. I knew it was someone famous, but it took a second for my mind to process…
Famous person? Yes.
Singer? Yes.
On TV? Yes.
A Jonas Brother? No.
David… whatchamasomething……….? Yes!
I now realize that if I’d have been paying attention, I would have realized something was up before we landed. Apparently everyone on the plane but me knew he was in first class. I suddenly realized that the stench of estrogen was strong in the air and that every female was now mobbing to get a glimpse of him. I was literally being pushed toward him and he was being pushed, by me, into a corner. I’d like to say that I was filling the role of his bodyguard by shielding him from the onslaught with my body, but I really didn’t have control over the situation. (He was, by the way, totally alone.) We were inches apart and face to face… well, face to neck/chest/breast area maybe.
I COULD SMELL THE AIRLINE PEANUTS ON DAVID ARCHULETA’S BREATH!
Here’s how our conversation went from there…
Me: “Oh… Hey… How ya doin’?”
David (smiling): “Great!”
Me (shouting): “GET BACK YOU DEVIL WOMEN!!!” Ok, I didn’t yell this, but wanted to. Instead I stupidly asked, “You here for work?”
David (probably thinking I’m a git for asking that question in L.A.): “Yeah.”
Me: “Cool. Ummm… have fun!”
David: “I will.”The flight attendant then opened the plane door.
Me and David at the same time: “Go ahead.”
Me: “No, go ahead.”
David: “Go ahead!”
Me: (Stared at him knowing there’s no way I can go before HIM!)
David: “Sorry. OK. Thanks.”We then exited the plane where we were both mobbed by teenage girls who kept asking us for pictures… or more specifically, asking me to take a picture of them with David. I think they thought we were together – probably brothers… or something like that.
He was very gracious and even thanked me a couple times for taking pictures of other people with him. I did sneak one quick picture in before he literally RAN through the terminal to get away from the growing mob of giddy teenage girls and middle aged mothers.

K, Maxie…what? Also, no offense, and it was a great article but, when you said face to neck/chest/breast area, then after that,’I COULD SMELL THE AIRLINE PEANUTS ON DAVID ARCHULETA’S BREATH!’, for a second, (again, no offense) I kinda thought you were sort of…maybe…gay…sorry, no offense meant, but seriously, couldn’t you have worded that part just a little differently? Great story though.

Palm to Heart
I have alway had a problem with ppl who make fun of David’s stature, this guy just seemed to relish saying what he said.
First I despise ppe who make fun of other ppl and second David for some reason has a problem with looking at himself, or he calls himself weird. And not knowing why, I’d hate for him to read that comparison. I never want David feeling self-conscious when he’s in public or around girls or anything. He’s 18 for goodness sakes. For something that’s going to be printed for any eyes to see please consider David.
Palm to Heart

JARED THANK YOU FOR THE STORY.

I liked the story but it kind of sounded assulting to David! lol and sorry but all of those screaming girls i’m sure were very big fans that prob. know a lot about him so they prob. didn’t think you were his brother though that would’ve been cool… prob. just a friend but that was still really neat! lol If I accidently hit David like that boy I’d be knealing down at his service because I’d feel REALLY REALLY x 10000000 feel bad! lol… I think it’s kind of dangerous for David to be alone though with all of those screaming girls around him or something could of happened. Even though David is the nicest teenaged boy someone could have harmed him without his bodyguard! well thinking positively, that was a cool story! thanks for sharing! lol :)

nice story ! :]

I agree with Maxie2Go. Some people are not sensitive to what they said. But David is bigger than his figure. When he is on stage nobody thinks about his height, because he is huge and amazing. His personality surpasses his appearance. All we know is: he is kind, nice, down to earth, very polite, warm, lovable you name it. He outshines others, he is glowing, radiant……….it’s hard to find the word to describe him. May God bless him forever.

Love that story..
OMG I would love to see David in an Airport..
Hey Supergrandj.. how are you? I have been totally busy and have not been on David’s site in so so (too) long.
Still Loving David..

Hi Belinda #12- I’ve been away,too. Came back to N.J. to find out A.C. was cancelled. In a couple of days, I have to go back to Md. I won’t be able to attend the rescheduled date because my daughter just booked us for Oct.31st to go to Fla. I’m on a rollercoaster and yet I’ve never been on one in my life. Like you said, “When life hands you lemons, you make lemonade”. Well my loss will be someone else’s gain. I had VIP ugrades,too. How are you doing.
Jared, what a great story. Now you khow what we fans already know and that is he is “Just David”. A truly genuine nice guy with a super voice and personality. Thanks for the story.
