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

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, but I feel like Jensen is that kind of person--sort of naturally reserved, but forcing himself to do things out of his comfort zone because you only live once.
Whew, that got long. Thanks for letting me spam your post. :D
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?

As 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.
Why don't I think he's completely straight? Maybe it's partly because I'm bi and I like to think there are more of us out there, but it's mostly just the vibe I get. In fact, my friend rivers_bend, who grew up in San Francisco and is lesbian says that she is convinced that Jensen is not completely straight from watching him, and a lot of his mannerisms. I can't imagine who would have a better gaydar than she does.
Anyway, it's none of my business and doesn't really change my opinion--I admire him either way. If he ever is on True Hollywood or whatever, I'd both love it and hate it. Hate it because he seems like a really private person who wouldn't enjoy having his personal life discussed (like I'm doing right now, lol) and love it because it would mean that the world had come to an acceptance of alternative lifestyles and sexuality that I would love to see.
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

Interesting. All the bodybuilding could point in that direction, I suppose. And then there are the scarves. (Just kidding.)

Ha! Bring it on. God knows I'll go on about it to anyone who'll listen (and who I don't think will freak out about it). I don't put it in my LJ bio because I don't think my children particularly need to have it shoved in their faces, but I'd like to. Anyway, sure. You really do know how I am. :D
The scarves are a dead giveaway. And the hair. And his tendency to grab male ass. :D
The gay friend I mentioned? She's a male going thru transition to female. She interned with us a few years ago. I got her hooked on Show! I loved talking to her and picking her brain about things. I found the LGBT community very fascinating. It's just as dysfunctional and fucked up as the straight community. :D
I'll PM you later. No need to put all your business in the streets.

Still think I'm not spammy, lol?

I'll probably have a few things to say about that. :)
You have my email, right? If not, it's chemm80 at gmail dot com.
