La, La, La, La, La, La JON KNIGHT!
My take on Jonathan R. Knight – the Cruise edition!
Did I expect to see Jon Knight out and about unless he was EXPECTED to be somewhere? Hell to the no. I expected him to keep a low profile. You know, stay out of the stalker eye. Boy was I wrong.
I came to expect certain things from him on the cruise…looked forward to them in fact. Every morning Jon would come out of his cabin, look our way down the hall and say “Good Morning Ladies.” Or “Hello ladies how are you?” Did he HAVE to do this? Nope, sure didn’t but he did which made me love him even more.
Every time he walked past our door he would say “Hello”. Every time he saw us out and about on the ship he would say “Hello” or simply “Hey”. It was just so…so…NORMAL. I think we all have a habit of thinking that these guys are something other than human…being with them in this setting really shows you just how REAL they are.
One evening in particular, the last night on the ship, we went to the buffet to grab some dinner. We missed ours because we were standing in line for our concert (Bwahahahaha – had to have a good seat ya know?). I decided not to sit at “our” table but took another table closer to the back of the room. The rest of my girls soon followed. We were all enjoying our dinner when BAM, out of nowhere, Jon Knight appears at the 24 Hour Pizzeria. He says “What’s good?” My friend, Kim, says “We had the pan pizza last night. It was really good.” Jon says “The Pan?” turns and orders the pan. He attempted to head out the deck to eat only to find that it was closed for cleaning. So, he took the table next to ours. We continued to eat but the vultures appeared. It was ridiculous. They wouldn’t even let the man eat. I felt so bad. I know everyone wanted an autograph or a photo or just to say hi but come on, can’t the man eat his dinner in peace? Once he finished his slice of pizza he decided he was still hungry and went for a burger. Back at the table he decided to dig in IMMEDIATELY, apparently he was very hungry. I couldn’t help but notice that he got ketchup on his face. He looked for a napkin and there wasn’t one on the table. So, he did what any NORMAL person would do and wiped the ketchup on his jeans. The mom in me went nuts. I immediately got up, walked to where the wrapped silverware was and grabbed Jon a set. Walked over and very politely said “You look like you could use a napkin.” And simply walked away…but not before he said “THANK YOU”.
To me, that was the PERFECT Jon Knight moment. It was one I certainly won’t forget. That and sharing our coffee on the balcony to our cabins in the morning. ;)
Jon, I hope you did not mind my intrusion…I just NEEDED you to have a napkin. Please forgive me.

That is awesome! I'm happy that there are some "Non stalker" fans like you out there. Your story is great & just adds to one of the many reasons I adore Jon now! Thanks for sharing.
