Welcome Cookies & Word Nerds!!!

Hello all,
Welcome to Daily Anthem of Cookie, dedicated of course to the fabulous David Cook!! Let me introduce myself, I'm Sky, I live in the UK and am of course a huge fan of David!!
Daily Anthem of Cookie, will be updated daily (hence the title!) with news, images or just randomness about David himself.
I'd love to get to know all the wonderful people reading this journal, so my first post will be to find out when you all became fans. Did he have you at Hello? Maybe it was when he cut his hair and 'forgot' to shave? Have you just discovered David? Whatever your story please share it!
I'll let you know how I became a fan myself.
I live in the UK and AI isn't really advertised greatly over here and I have never watched a full series of the programme, no contestant has ever really grabbed me and kept my attention. One night I was channel flicking and decided to watch an episode of AI. I am one of the fans that really became alert to David when he sang Hello - there was just something very special about that performance that made you say WOW. From then on I started tuning into AI every week and I followed David through out. His journey was incredible, week after week he surprised us with amazing vocals and performances and his personality really shone through. I became totally attached to him and have become an extremely proud fan!
So come on fellow Cookies - share your stories and love of David!
happy
Thanks for the friendship and welcome to the journal!
I adore your avvy picture!
