Okay, I was not expecting *that*

So. This past week, E! On-line has been running one of their popularity polls. Jensen made it into the final round of the "Alpha Male Madness" competition, running opposite Darren Criss of Glee (whom I'd never heard of. I don't watch Glee). It was a very heated competition, and both sides had elements that got nasty. I might write more about my observations later, but for now, this is what surprised me:

First, go take a look at the winner announcement and the posted comments they selected.

You back? Okay. That first one, the one titled "Family don't end with blood"?

That comment entry?

I wrote that.

They chose one of my entries as an example of why Jensen is awesome.

I know it's just a silly internet poll, but . . . I can't help but be all flabbergasted and stuff.

I . . . it's just a weird feeling to see something I wrote representing why Jensen is awesome. O.o How did that happen?

It's kind of exciting. :-)

You know, in a really silly, fannish, there-are-so-many-other-more-important-things-in-life way.

(And those of you who know about our looking into adoption can imagine how the whole adoptive/surrogate family storyline has added yet another layer to the show for me, yeah? But that's another entry for another time.)

@1614 Naomi...You just described Jensen Ackles. He's amazingly talented and VERY humble and down-to-earth and gracious. His portrayal of Dean Winchester speaks to me in ways I can't really explain...He's the eldest sibling who feels he falls short, devoted family man, and if you want to get into a "cause," SPN is very much based on the fact that "family don't end with blood." Adoption/surrogate family is just as much family as blood family. For Dean, family comes first, even if it's not his own family. Jensen himself has been an inspiration to me in my acting. He can give even the most ridiculous or mundane dialog and scene meaning, and that's something I learn from to improve my own acting. His work ethic is incredible, and I admire the man as much as I've admired any actor. And yes, watching DVDs of his shows, or convention videos of his singing and Q/As makes me smile.

As presented in the announcement (for my own records, in case the link dies):

Family Don't End With Blood: "Jensen Ackles [is] amazingly talented and very humble and down-to-earth and gracious.

Hee. Thanks.

He might never know who I am ("probably" being more likely), but I hope I can somehow, in the great cosmic scheme of things, be a blessing for him.
