He must shove old people or kick puppies or be a lousy lover or SOMETHING! It's impossible for him to be made of so much win. IMPOSSIBLE, I say
( Read more... )
I'm delighted that the report was posted. Jensen is indeed made of awesome win.
At the same time, it breaks my heart just a little to know that there won't be vids out there of this.
And every time it strikes me that I will never be able to attend such an event or express my own personal appreciation. That breaks my heart a little, too.
So I shall continue to live my fannish life vicariously. 'Cause Jensen is addictive.
It doesn't bother me much that I'll never meet him. I'm fine with my admiration from afar. But if I do ever hit the lotto while Show is still on, I'm sooo there!
The thing that really stood out in the interview, and things I already knew, was he's so fearless. He takes on things that challenge him with such wild abandon. I'm such a coward, so I admire that confidence he has in himself. He was scared shitless, I'm sure, but he went for it.
I'm not holding my breath for vids. The audience was fairly small and intimate.
While I'd love to actually meet him and exchange words, I'd be happy to be in the same room with him, watching him do his thing. (You should have been sitting next to me when the curtain rose on the Addams Family musical. I was bouncing in my seat just to be in the same room as Bebe Neuwirth and Nathan Lane. Talk about a giddy little fan girl moment. *g*)
He is indeed fearless and confident. I love that about him.
What an awesome report! Wish I could have been there. Maybe he'll perform for a bigger audience next time, increasing the chances of video. Regardless, kudos to him for going out of his comfort zone.
I can just imagine him getting more and more nervous as the bids got higher and higher. :D Hopefully you're right and he'll feel brave enough for large crowds.
I've been thinking a lot about our conversation on Show. Led to much thinky thought deepness. I almost posted about said thoughts but got distracted by con squee. The moment has gone.
I'll try to remember my thought pattern. In the meantime, read gaelicspirit's review, if you haven't already. I always enjoy her thoughts. She helps put things in perspective for me.
Great report--thanks so much for that link! I admit I was a bit weirded out beforehand by that whole bidding thing, and how high it went (and disgusted with Creation's greed, but that's another story), but the song list sounds fantastic.
I agree with you about Jensen. My favorite thing about the report is this:
The crowd did wonder how he psyches himself up to do these things - a stage play, directing, etc.
Jensen: “I do tend to throw myself out there - you know, let’s go streaking or whatever!”...because I see myself in it so much. I was the shyest, most socially backward kid ever, lived my life through the characters in books. But somewhere around age 12, I realized that I was going to miss out on life if I let my anxiety control it and I started just putting myself out there. It was torture at first, and even so many years later it's sometimes difficult, but it got better and I've experienced so much that I never would have if I'd just let my reserved nature have its way. And I know it's a creepy stalker-fan thing to say
( ... )
Spam me anytime, babe! But it's not spam anyway. You can NEVER be spam!
Now that you mention it. You do remind me of Jensen. I admire you both for your Fuck It, I'm Doing It! attitude.
This may sound totally batshit, but going by my perception of him? I don't think he'd have a beard or marry for his career. Doesn't seem like something he'd do, you know. Years from now when he's featured on The True Hollywood Story, I may eat my words. :D

I do know. He seems like such a straight up good man. And some of that is probably me projecting my experience of down home Texan boys onto him, sure, but he's really kind of an anomaly in the acting industry. So NOT Hollywood, you know?
Years from now when he's featured on The True Hollywood Story, I may eat my words. :DAs to that, I'll just go on record as saying that in my opinion, Jensen is probably bi, and like so many bisexual people, he's chosen someone of the opposite sex as a partner because a)it's socially acceptable b)he wants to have a family and c)there are so many more people who are heterosexual that mathematically the odds are that bisexual people are going to wind up with someone of the opposite sex
( ... )
My gay friend says Jared pings her gaydar much stronger than Jensen. He does seem much swishier. *snort*
I'd love to have a chat with you about the your sexuality. If it was anybody else, I wouldn't ask, but I know you're quite chatty and prone to over sharing. :D
Thanks for finding and posting. You know how I feel about Jason. I just found a cd of the college group he sang with and bought it! He sings Free Fallin' on it! '
