From Cari Adams on IDF:

“Hi guys! A few weeks ago, Teen Choice awards started asking folks to request celebrities who they thought should be nominated or who they want perform for them this year. At that time, there were a lot of requests for other artists, and very few for David.

TCA is gearing up to launch their 2010 voting site. They are looking for nominations, requests and suggestions right now. We need to keep supporting David and show the TCAs that we care. You can send email requests to Teen Choice Awards at staff@teenchoiceawards.com, or send a tweet to @TeenCAwards2010.

You can recommend that David perform a certain song on the show (which would be awesome promo!) or be a co-host. And you can nominate him for categories, or suggest your own. Examples from previous years:

Choice TV Male Reality/Variety Star, Choice Hook-Up, Choice Music: Male Artist, Choice Music: Love Song, Choice Music Album: Male Artist, Choice Male Hottie (Helllloo), Most Fanatic Fans (us!). Other ideas: Best Duet, Best TV Show Guest, Best Christmas album.

Please take just a minute to do this for David. Thanks”

@DavidArchie - “Think of a car driving through the night. The headlights only go 100 to 200 ft. forward, and you can make it all the way from… California to New York driving through the dark, because all you have to see is the next 200 feet. And that’s how life tends to.. Unfold before us. If we just trust that the next 200 ft. Will unfold after that, your like will keep unfolding, and eventually…Get you to the destination of whatever it is you truly want…”

According to Archuleta Avenue & people on Twitter, this came from “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne.

What else we don’t know about him? haha!

thanks to lovingarchie!

note: David answered all these questions. The writer who did the transcript used the third-person point of view to save space.

————–

-Does David have recording equipment in his house?
-Yes, a lot

-Did David really not know about the Life Story magazine as FOD is reporting?
-No, he obviously knew. I knew about it a month ago because he told me, so he definitely knew! He had to do a bunch of interviews and photoshoots for it. How would he not know?

-What is going on with David’s schooling at the moment?
-He isn’t currently enrolled at the moment but will probably get his GED soon.

-Any childhood possessions he still owns?
-Teddy bear named Billy and a Yoshi dinosaur.

-What hair products does he use?
-Mainly water, usually isn’t carefully styled unless he has to be somewhere.

-Soap, shampoo?
-Dove Soap, a mint-scented shampoo that makes his head tingle.

-Does David get along well with Daniel?
-Mostly, yes, especially in recent years but they still have their moments. They are completely different, but all of his siblings are very different from each other.

-What is something out of character David has done?
-David is very random and will start laughing for no reason while you’re talking to him. He’s very funny and has a really dry sense of humor, and doesn’t even mean to be funny most of the time. He can get confused or upset when people laugh when he wasn’t meaning to be funny, he makes a lot of off-topic comments in conversation and sometimes things fly right over his head in a deep conversation  He’s very silly and very happy all the time.

-Best gift he’s ever given you?
-Too hard to answer.

-The sweetest thing he’s done for his family?
-He’s always very sweet to his family. He’s very thoughtful. There are plenty of times he’ll just give them stuff, or think about them when he’s out. He just wants his family to be happy and he likes to do things to make them happy. He’s very generous.

-Any pets we don’t know about?
-Way too many.

-How does he feel about having to wear makeup once in a while?
-David has very clear skin and basically never gets blemishes or acne. He doesn’t need hardly any makeup, if any at all, so they don’t put much on.

-Does David ever get annoying?
-Annoying isn’t the right word. Sometimes it’s like “do you ever stop?” because he talks a lot, and a lot of what he says is really random so people have trouble keeping up with his ‘language’. He rambles a lot and sings all the time—everything is a song even if it doesn’t make sense. He constantly connects words to lyrics.

-Has David ever gotten mad about anything?
-He gets annoyed, but not really mad. I’ve seen him get really irritated, but not often and it’s personal so I won’t say why. He is really tame and has a mild temperament. What you see is what you get. He’s very laidback and giggly. He does get upset sometimes but I’ve never seen him throw an anger fit like some people do.

-Is David a hyper person?
-He is actually pretty hyper but can control himself if he needs to. He isn’t annoyingly hyper but he gesticulates his speech. He moves around a lot and doesn’t sit still easily. He is always playing with something, like his napkin if he’s at a restaurant etc. He’s not destructive but he likes to keep himself occupied—always touching something, and always eating or drinking.

-Does David get uncomfortable around his guy friends when they talk about typical guy stuff?
-David really doesn’t hang out with guys at all. There are a few in his group of friends, but he’s not very close to them like he is with his girl friends. He has hundreds of girl friends. The guys he is friends with are generally different than him. He mostly clings to girls. He gets upset when we call him a flirt—he might not do it on purpose, but he’s definitely a flirt. 

-Have you ever caught David giving a girl the “damn she’s hot” look, or calling a girl hot?
-No, he doesn’t express much emotion when it comes to girls’ looks. He’s not like most guys and it’s very sweet. I try to corrupt him but he either tunes me out or lectures me. 

-What’s his favorite drink?
-Herbal tea, water, anything citric or sour.

-Does he prefer cream cheese or butter on his bagels?
-Cream cheese.

-What did David usually wear to school?
-David has always been a jeans & t-shirt guy. He’s always in jeans or pajamas if he’s in his house, and he walks outside in pjs at night sometimes. Most of his t-shirts had dinosaurs, dragons, or weird graffiti on them. His wardrobe is a little better now that people give him money to shop for himself, and he gets a lot of free stuff. He is a good dresser though, he matches his stuff well.

-Does David eat rice?
-He loves white rice stir fry.

-Favorite dessert?
-He loves cake, chocolate, ice cream, cheesecake.

-Has David picked up the car he got on American Idol yet?
-It’s a Ford Escape and he picked it up a few weeks ago.

-What does David like to snack on?
-He is always stuffing his face—yogurt, cereal, cookies, bread, pretzels, apples, oranges, pineapple, chips & salsa—even really hot salsa.

-What kind of girl do you think David is looking for?
-I’m pretty sure he likes girls who are more on the wild side—more bold and less shy than he is. He likes randomness. He would never date anyone who was sexually promiscuous or anything like that. Just someone with a more dominant personality than him. He will date a girl who shares his values, morals, and ethics. He definitely likes fun girls and clings more to the wild types. David is kind of a dork, very unique and silly, and probably not what people would expect once they get to know him.

David is a very picky person and will be VERY selective when it comes to romance. He is definitely not the type of guy who dates girls to jump in bed with them. He is into the soul and personality of girls. He has something specific in mind when he thinks of a long term relationship.

-Weird fan encounters?
-He’s told a few funny stories. People approach him a lot when he’s out with family and friends. Some people can be weird and pushy. A lady asked if she could kiss him which freaked him out a little. A guy started grabbing him once and that definitely scared him! He’s not a very touchy-feely person, but he’s good with giving fans hugs. But there’s a line you don’t cross with David. He isn’t very affectionate with most people unless he knows them very well. He feels uncomfortable when people invade his personal space. Another lady asked him to sign her dog but he didn’t because he loves animals.

-What is David’s favorite non-Pixar movie?
-David loves Disney. He loves the Chipmunks, Minnie, and Pluto. He likes the Shrek movies, the Incredibles, Toy Story, Over the Hedge, and the Lion King. He’s not into the princess movies. He loves the Jungle Book because he loves the big bear, and he loves Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

-Are David and Adam still best friends?
-I’m not sure why it was ever portrayed that he & Adam were best friends. They are not at all. He and David don’t have must in common. They are acquaintances who are friendly and can hang out occasionally but Adam was never his best friend at any point. David was better friends with his brother Nate, who he admires and looks up to.

-Which family member is David closest to?
-He and his mom are really close. He’s close to all of his siblings in different ways, it just depends on the situation. He has a different relationship with everyone in his family.

-If David were dating someone, would he be open about it or keep it to himself?
-He’s a private person and would keep it to himself. He would probably admit that he’s dating but wouldn’t name names.

-Does David have a type of girl he’s attracted to in terms of race or ethnicity?
-David is very liberal with race and looks, so it’s hard to say what nationality or type of looks the girl will have.

-Is David a night person or a morning person?
-He’s definitely a night person, not a morning person at all. He stays up all night frequently!

-Was David a procrastinator when it came to school work or did he start his assignments the day they were given to him?
-He is a bit of a both depending on the situation. He has a tendency to procrastinate a lot though. He’s more attentive to certain things but it depends on his mood. When it came to school, he liked to get his projects over with.

-Does David cook?
-Not really, but he bakes cookies sometimes. He’s one of those people that messes up anything they try to cook.

-How is he with little kids?
-He’s GREAT with little kids. He has a ton of patience with them and plays with him. They tend to listen to him.

-Is David a clean or messy person?
-He’s pretty neat. He can be disorganized but he’s pretty clean.

-David has said many times that he isn’t ready to date—do you see this changing any time soon?
-David goes on fun play dates, but isn’t serious about that stuff yet. He’s taking it slow right now and focusing on his career. It’s hard to think of him dating anytime soon but the time will come eventually.

-Where do you think David will live for the rest of his life?
-He likes to explore different areas and cultures, but he loves Utah and will always consider it his home. He made it clear that he doesn’t want to move to LA permanently.
