Gakked from kimmer1227.

The problem with LJ: We all think we are so close, but really we know nothing about one another. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.

Part 2

I started researching Jensen's pre-SPN work around the beginning of 2008, as my first Dark Angel review is dated Jan. 25, 2008. I had actually seen Jensen's S1 DA ep prior to seeing SPN, but I didn't know who he was. But when I started looking at his background and discovered he'd been in an ep, I knew exactly which ep it was, because it was the only ep to hold my interest beginning to end when I caught a DA marathon on TV once.

Then I did a review of Devour on Feb. 4. A more specific review of DA is dated Feb. 10.

Then last summer (summer 2008) I did the Project Still Life Recap.

And I'm pretty sure there's a review of Ten Inch Hero somewhere in my LJ.

But let's talk about Jensen. I wrote the following on Feb. 20, 2009, in response to kalquessa's request that I explain my infatuation with Jensen Ackles:

Oh, good grief. You really want that I should take up that much space? You really want to get me wound up? Okay, here goes. *cracks knuckles*

How do I love Jensen? Let me count the ways. (Actually, that will be a post in and of itself, because I'm still having trouble finding the words to express my admiration.)

I was introduced to the work of Jensen Ackles in October 2007, when izhilzha sat me down to watch SPN. After a few (a couple?) weeks (days?) I was completely enamored of the guy, not just as a pretty face (which he totally is), but as an actor. He does things I couldn’t even dream of accomplishing. His mastery of nuance is a thing to behold. And he’s not afraid to make a fool of himself. He just . . . is an amazing actor. Full stop.

As a man, he is beautiful. And I don’t know how else to explain that. Because it wasn’t until I saw him as an actor that I fell full-on for his looks. But he is a beautiful man, and he gets better looking the older he gets.

Plus, by all reports and con clips and interviews I’ve seen, he’s a kind, generous, patient human being. He has charm and charisma and manners, and he's so down-to-earth and honest in his reactions and responses. There’s no such thing as the “perfect” man, but dang.

I’ve said it often, and only half in jest: Jensen Ackles is evidence of the existence of God. Someone whose genetics combine to create someone as physically beautiful as Jensen, who is also as talented as Jensen is . . . that just doesn’t happen by random chance. There’s a design behind that. I am, no pun intended, awed by the man, both the actor and the person. (And yes, I know that as a human, he's flawed, he's got faults. But we won't get into that here.)

I probably sound like a crazed, rabid fangirl, and I'm being redundant with the use of amazing, but this is all honest feeling. And my concern for him is as a person first and foremost. (Conversation threads that do nothing but objectify him as nothing more than . . . well . . . an object well and truly drive me batty.) Because he just seems like an amazing man.

With any luck, he'll be an actor who can keep my attention into his next project. (I have a pattern of moving from one actor infatuation to another.) I think I probably will because most of his work is very accessible. He also gives every impression of being not just a good actor but a really good guy. A good person.

Does that answer your question?
