Thankfully Billy has a sense of humor as I do. It sure helps when people try to use silly things and hype it up as something horrible to use against you. I dont believe I have done anything to be ashamed of in fandom. I didnt hang around and bother him at any con or event that I know of.
When he came in the hotel bar in NJ, we left him alone. Although he really is an unbelievable patient and wonderful man, he granted pictures and quick autographs and hand shakes to the people who did approach him the entire time he was chatting with Daniel Reeve. I would never go up and interrupt this time with his friends like some did. When he got up to leave we went over to say a quick hello, and he stayed and chatted with us for quite a while, asking us questions and just in general being the sweet man he is. I seriously doubt he felt the need for a body guard from any of us.
Since this seems to be what is fueling so many which I think has been totally blown out of proportion. A friend made a silly candy bar and we gave it to him, as a joke which he thought was amusing as well and asked me questions about it. Anyone who knows Billy knows what a great sense of humor he has and can be a quite naughty as well. At least I didnt whip out a nasty saggy boob and ask him to sign it in front of a bunch of people, I didnt grab his ass, or harass him while he tried to get some time with a friend like others did.
I have never said I was his number 1 fan and anyone who claims I had is sadly mistaken. I do however tend to defend anyone I care about. I cant help it, my friends and family know this about me, I would do anything for the people I care about. Ask my kids. They are both in their early 20's now and we have a great relationship, always have. We never went through all that teenage drama most people do. Being a struggling single mother, I think I did pretty well and my mother lion tendencies kicked in many times, still do with them. When I see alleged fans trying to spread damaging rumors and complete lies and other rotten things about Billy, Jack and his girlfriend, some which were rather frightening and possibly dangerous, yes, I alerted people who I thought should know. I'm not sorry I did. There are too many wackos out there. I'm glad I know who they all are and can avoid them like the plague they are a frightening bunch.
I do have an extremely busy personal life which I dont post much about here because there are too many freaks out there who will use things against me, even my moms cancer. How low is that? Seriously! Which is why I went friends only.
Yes, Billy knows who I am and remembers me. Big deal. He knows and remembers a lot of his fans. But I dont think he would have kissed my cheek last March if i frightened him. He is aware of the BBB and appreciates that as well, he has told us on his own accord. No prompting was needed. So thats the barometer I go by, not a group of silly women. If and when I even SUSPECT Billy is not happy with me or the BBB, the things we say or do, then and only then will I change what I do.
Not sure what I did this time to spur more crap and find myself needed to once again defend myself from their constant attacks. So I ask you, who is the ones with the problems? Billy seems fine, I'm busy and happy with many projects both on the BBB and personally, its a shame other cant be and must tear other people down to feel better, but I do pity them.
