I Totally Just Fan-Girl'd on "Pam."

In case you didn't know...

I LOVE PAM!

"Did I miss something? Are we girls now? Did we join a book club and read some queer chick lit memoirs and are bound together by estrogen or sisterhood or some other feminist drivel?" 

Eric Northman isn't the only True Blood character that gets my blood pumping. I freakin' love PAM, played by Kirstin Bauer Van Straten.  Her fashion sense, her voice, her attitude and her one liners won me over the first time I saw her on True Blood.  I even dressed up as her for Halloween last year. Don't doubt that I'll do it again this year...and be ever better. If it means I need to wear an even more kick ass push up bra, fake lashes & a wig...I'm doin' it!

I was a late bloomer to the True Blood fandom, but I'm certainly making up for lost time.  I discovered a website called The Vault, started following Kristin on twitter. From there, I discovered she and her husband share a facebook fan site.. The fan site is very personable & she shares so many amazing pictures of her life, on set and off. She also uses it as a platform to express her love of animals & animal rights.  I think it's fantastic. That said, I totally had to post a comment on her wall.

Yup, I fan girl'd on "Pam."

And she responded! SQUEEEEEE!
I know, some of you are probably thinking it's her assistant or PR person.

It's not..she and her husband run the page. True fact.

I literally had butterflies as I saw my facebook notification. Gah! 

If you're a fan of Kristin, & or her very talented musician husband, LIKE "The Van Stratens on facebook.

I leave you with some of my absolute favorite Pam quotes and pictures.

"Blah blah, Vampire emergency blah."

This scene was classic.

And my favorite quote when Pam is trying to convince Sookie to hook it up with Eric.

"Shame for you then....he pulls good string."

ASkars, Let's Make Babies.

According to US Weekly...

THE ARTICLE STATES:

Guess it wasn't true love!



After nearly two years together, True Blood's Alexander Skarsgard and 21 actress Kate Bosworth have called it quits, Us Weekly has confirmed exclusively.


PHOTOS: Heartbreaking Hollywood splits

"It was very mutual," a source tells the new issue of Us (on newsstands Wednesday). "And it happened a while ago."


While Bosworth, 28, was photographed giving her ex, Orlando Bloom (now married to Miranda Kerr) a friendly hug on July 7, her Straw Dogs costar Skarsgard has been embracing his freedom.

During a July 21 Film District bash at Comic-Con in San Diego, the actor, 34, flirted with a brunette -- and left the party with her. IGNORE IGNORE IGNORE!


"He's single," confirms a source, "and he is loving the attention!"

******************************************************

I'm taking this as a sign. I mean it was bound to happen, right?  We'd make a great couple, we could even role-play as "Eric & Sookie." I'd let him bite me if he wanted,  I'd even wear the Merlotte's outfit sans undies.

You think I'm delusional, right? I'm not the only one that thinks this, several friends have pointed out that we'd make a good couple, one who's never met DG even thought he was my  fiance'. *Snickers*

"He SO wants you to have his babies"  "oh he SO wants you"   "Maybe he REALLY likes you..."

"Absolutely no offense against the fiance, but DAYUM you two would make a gorgeous couple! And have beautiful babies!"

Don't we look happy together?

Look at him trying to be all sexy for the camera.

 

 

We'd make some pretty babies too...primarily from his genes, but I'm willing to accept that.

 

Alexander if you ever see this, EMAIL ME.

 

The s/o doesn't have to know ;)

 

 

Love & Kisses,

 

Jen

 



Mission Accomplished!

As most of you know, Comic Con kicked off here in San Diego this past Thursday and ends this evening. Comic Con never peaked my interest much, other than presenting a great people watching opportunity when I used to work in a hotel.  It definitely has my attention now, seeing as Summit has started using it as a platform to promote Twilight.  I was actually reading the books for the first time during Comic Con of 2009. Little did I know that the entire cast was just a few short miles from my home.

Fast forward to this year: I didn't buy tickets to Comic Con primarily because I'd just spent money on an amazing trip to Forks with the Twitards and was trying not to spend friviously with our upcoming wedding....Also, I felt that I'd already had some amazing opportunities with Twilight , that it wasn't the end of the world if I didn't go.......Then True Blood reared it's sexy, dirty & addictive head.  Eric the show consumed me. Then of course I started having serious regrets about not buyint tickets...but of course tickets were no longer available.
Admittedly, Alexander Skarsgard has quickly become my new obsession. It's not that Rob has gone by the way side by any means. Rob will always be "that guy" for me...it's just that I feel different about Alexander. Sure, the characters they portray are both great to fantasize about. But I don't often see Rob as anything other than shy, goofy & ridiculously beautiful. He's an enigma to me.... untouchable.... and I love that he's appears so happy with Kirsten.  Much like Rob, I only came to find Alex attractive after seeing him play the role of Eric.  It allowed me to see a much sexier side of him. Typically blondes don't do it for me....but boy does this man do unexplainable things to me....and YES, quite a bit of that stems from the fact that he's all kinds of ridiculous sexyness on the show.  Most of the sexual appeal comes from the fact that he's intimidating, intelligent and yet somehow someway, vulnerable.

Originally, ASkars wasn't announced for the 2011 True Blood panel, but about a week or so before, his name started popping up. I felt helpless.  I had to see him! Was it too good to be true? I'd already seen the cast of Twilight (more importantly, ROB) 3 times...was I pushing my luck to try and see ASkars?! Thursday night as I lied in bed, this picture surfaced on the internet:

OH. MY. GAWD.

 ASkars & Ryan Kwanton attended the Summit party atop the Hard Rock Hotel.



The Eagle had landed...Alexander Skarsgard was in San Diego partying it up & I had to attempt sleep?  He was a mere 12 minutes from my house...I felt like crying. Ok, I did. A little bit. That's when I texted my equally ASkars obsessed friend "C." I proclaimed that after work we should plant our asses in the HR Hotel lobby in hopes of seeing him after the TB panel. I'd been hanging out in front HR earlier in the day on my break and watched Ryan Kwanten walk by...so the odds seemed pretty descent. Part of me wanted to believe I'd make it happen, and the other part of me had serious doubts.

Long story even longer, that evening we walked into the HR looking like we belonged...We couldn't decide if we should hang in the lobby, NOBU (we later found out Jessica Biel was in there!) or outside.  We finally came to a decision when we saw a few people get up from the cushy lounge seats in the middle of the lobby.  I quickly realized we weren't the only ones who had this idea ;) All in all though, there were probably 15 of us.

Kate Beckinsale walked by, Jason Momoa, Channing Tatum...but no ASKars. About an hour past and then there was a bit of commotion outside & as I spotted THIS, my whole life flashed before my eyes...

Picture courtesy of my friend C.  She had a camera, I had a blackberry.

You can see Ryan Kwanten to the lower right of ASkars..the TALL GUY ;)

I'm not entirely sure what happened next, all I know is he walked through at a somewhat steady pace. A small crowed surrounded him and his manager/bodyguards (?) not quite sure what or who they were.  Most wanted autographs....and I think most were paparazzi.  He stopped to pose with the first girl that got to him and then maybe another

He was laughing at another lady, NOT the chick near him.

...next thing I knew I just said "Alex, would you please take a picture with me, I'm a HUGE fan!" I don't remember what he said back...I think he smiled?! I then swooped in &  put my left arm around his waist and waited (WITH MY LEFT ARM AROUND HIS WAIST!) while simultaneously chucking my crackberry at C. Thankfully she used her camera instead.

Yup, MISSION ACCOMLISHED.

HOLY SHIT.

After taking a picture of C & ASkars...

Love that she wore her Merlotte's shirt!

I kept clicking away on her camera...at least I think it was me. LOL!

I absofrickinlutely LOVE C's face in this one. She's in a ASkars/RKwan sandwich.

The paparazzi was making him laugh..it was pretty funny.

Boyish charm.

I took this one on my crackberry, hence the quality.

After taking these pictures I turned around to see Ryan hanging back. He's soooo shy!  We asked if he'd mind taking a picture with us and he obliged. C had a mini-convo w/ him, but for the life of me I can't remember EXACTLY what it was about. Something to do with his real accent and the show. Gah!

He was so shy & seem surprised we wanted to take a pic with him.

After the madness died down (all of 3-5 minutes) I just kept repeating OMG, OMG, OMG.  I truthfully felt as if I might vomit. The adrenalin rush was so intense the chunks rose in my throat at a rapid pace. I literally had to do some serious deep breathing.

I really can't believe it all panned out the way I could only fantasize.  I'm still in awe. Oh, and for any of you wondering what he was like....I give you three words:

REALLY FREAKIN' TALL.

SEXY.

GRACIOUS.

Ok, that was 5, but I'm sure you're not judging me.

Now for some FUN :)

Couldn't resist.  Gah! So hot.

P.S.  For those of you interested, I will be giving you "my take" on Breaking Dawn & Comic Con over at Twired. For now, stay tuned :)

XOXO J

***ALL of these pictures (aside from the one atop the Hard Rock, credit to JUST JARED) belong to my friend & me. If you want to use them, please just ask. Thank you.

Like Sunshine, In A Pretty Blonde Bottle..

I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I can't remember if this was from epi 1 or epi 2 of season 4.  My neighbor and I watched both on Sunday night.  They showed epi 2 on hbo.com, which kicked ass.  I think Eric turns my brain to mush, among other things....so forgive my lapse in memory.

Just wanted to share this scene.  The verbal exchange between Sookie & Eric is dynamic...simply FABULOUS!

GO HERE, for some reason the link HBO provides seems to be missing something in the HTML code.

 

 

 

 

SWOON.

 

 

XOXO J

 

 

Thank you Jeezus.

This is a quick one. The True Blood S4 premiere was kick ass!  I was a bit reticent from the sneak previews I'd seen.  I wasn't sure if it would be all fairy bullshit & no Eric hotness. Boy did HBO deliver for the first epi. I totally get that they have to go back and sort of bring you up to speed, as well as introduce all of the new things...but I was super satisfied.  I even got to watch epi 2 on my friends lap top...minus the last 8 minutes because the feed froze. Boo!

Anyhoo, 2 hours of TB back to back after almost a year of with drawl! Thank you jeezus & thank you HBO!

Dear Brain, YOU SUCK.

I just received a tweet from my Kiwi friend Amy, when something she said made me bring up ASkars(shock of all shocks.) It then hit me like a ton of shit bricks...I dreamed about him the other night. AGAIN! What is this? #4?!  Looking back, I remember waking up to pee and stumbling to the bathroom...As I started to pee, I realized I'd been dreaming about ASkars. Of couse an immense smile spread  across my half awake self.  Though I felt a bit foggy, I made a conscious effort to remember it. You know how it goes; you wake up from an awesome dream only to go back to sleep and forget the entire thing. FML!  I wasn't going to let that happen I said to myselfl, I was going to consciously remember every last detail so I could replay it here in all it's sex gawd glory....Did that happen? NOPE!

Dear Brain, YOU SUCK! All I can remember at this point is that it was Alexanader Skarsgard that I was interacting with. In previous dreams it's been a mix of him & Eric Northman. This time it was pure Swedish  actor delight...and, we were getting along fabulously. Unlike the akwardness that prevailed in others before. It's good to know our relationship is getting better..........


......in my dreams.

This could be me.

 Except I don't resemble Lady Ga Ga.

I'm wondering if my increase in drinking has anything to do with my SUCKY brain? Sure I'm consuming about 2-3-4 glasses of wine per night, whereas before I was at about 2....I think it's just the stress from work and the impending nuptials (mine) that have me a little on edge.

 

Would you believe me if I said this magnet was on my fridge?



What's sort of interesting is that I used to drink more beer than I did wine. However though the last year or so I have progressed to predominantly wine. Yay wine! I don't know, I still really love the taste of beer, more than wine sometimes, but it just makes me so bloated!

Do you ever make a conscious effort to remember a particular dream?

Do you like wine? Does beer make ya bloated?

Tell me in the comments!

My Favorite TB Season 3 Clip, Cut Short.

.....

I totally adore Pam & Sookie's short but sweet little interaction. 

I LOVE PAM.

Of course they leave off the good stuff, but any TB fan out there knows what was next. Hot damn.
