I sensed you would post today...I sensed it...

I'm devasted and emptied in a way...can't work think eat sleep...
Yeah for a stranger...but he was not...in a way...

Nothing will be the same anymore.

I'm happy to hear from you, and a little mad too because I missed you so much.

2008-01-22T23:11:00.000-05:00

I feel as if I've been kicked in the stomach.

I thought at first "This can't be real...I'm dreaming".

I am devastated and have no words.

I keep thinking about little Matilda, growing up never knowing her father.

Shit.

Glad you posted, dear. Even if the occasion is pretty shitty.

Oh Cherita, I am so happy you posted. I feel so te...

2008-01-22T19:37:00.000-05:00

Oh Cherita, I am so happy you posted. I feel so terrible. We all love that movie so much it's like a part of all of us has died. Poor Heath… God and his family and friends. His daughter. FUCK. Why?

I'm sorry your return is on such a sad occasion. Thank you for listening.

Short and sweet...and what I would expect from my dear friend after an absence.

We love you Cherita and are looking forward to your comeback post!

Oh and.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAKE!

Oh,OK, it's back. Couldn't open it for a really long time, thought it was gone just like the blog.

So well, cheria, good job, I keep reading your blog. Take care

Guys, what happened to the forum on Jakewatch? Is it gone? *starts running around in panic*

2007-11-22T07:06:00.000-05:00

I was glad that most of the people who were waiting for Jake in Rome (at least people who were within my ears's reach) rembered and loved him mostly from Donnie Darko (expecially guys, girls were definitely more inclined to Jarhead...;).
It made me feel more a connoiseur than the crazy person I was feeling at that time...:)

2007-11-21T12:36:00.000-05:00

Okay, so I still haven't gotten the fan post written. There's a very specific reason why, though. *looks askance* I'm just not going to, um, mention it at the moment. :P

BG, I don't envy you at all! What a trial, retail at the holidays. You're right, you'll need some serious Jake time to recover with. Fortunately he's always good for it...I can go from tense as a bundle of fiberoptic cable to a pool of warm, happy goo in minutes with his help.

Thanks for coming back in, Sass! And thanks for the compliment. I know what I do here has a limited appeal, so it's nice to hear from people who appreciate it. :D

Xenia, you know that's pretty much a requisite ingredient in anything I write about Jake, except the most lurid and escapist forays. Despite my rational mind, I still find it baffling whenever I encounter someone who doesn't have this reaction to Jake. But then again, I remind myself, I'd rather keep him a cult thing, a secret, than have him become Brad Pitt. Right now he's somewhere in between.

Desire, obsession 'in absence' of the object of love...

Not so off-topic...:)

2007-11-20T19:35:00.000-05:00

Nothing can save us from him. It is a lost cause. Then again do we really want to be saved? I don't! :) All this talk of thighs, calves, back, and neck has me all sweaty. You always can read my dirty mind Cherita.

Yes I do know Happy Days. How funny I never even thought about that. Mrs. Cunningham. Haaa haa.

I am sure I won't be on as much in the coming weeks either. I am in retail hell remember. I actually have to work on Thanksgiving. No one should be open. WTF!!!!! I do get time and a half and a 3 day weekend though. But still. By time the holidays are over I will be really pissy so you guys must excuse me. It will be your job girls to calm me down and talk me down from the ledge so to speak. I will have to fill my free time with sweet, sweet Jake. He always helps.

2007-11-20T09:01:00.000-05:00

Of course I'll miss you!
But I'll be here to catch you anytime I'll spot you! ;)

2007-11-20T07:37:00.000-05:00

Ms. C

Gah! BG, you just made me flash back to Happy Days. You might be too young to know that show, and it was actually "Mrs. C," so I'm not blaming you for the workings of my twisted mind. :P

I want to get going on this topic, but was sidetracked by actual work most of yesterday, and when I got home I was sidetracked again by a recorded Dexter and some indulgent Jake time. I am so, so weak. But the subject is definitely ripe for examination, so don't give up on me yet.

I don't know how regular my posts will be starting now and through the holidays, as I'm sure you all understand. You'll probably be as busy as I will, so you might not even miss me if I'm sporadic, but just in case, let me promise you it's not a sign of any problem other than that granddaddy of them all, Real Life. I'd chuck it entirely if I could, you know? :D

2007-11-20T03:19:00.000-05:00

Me too BG...
This would be really an interesting, if not the most interesting perpective I could imagine of our so-called 'obsession'. Or, better, it'd be a fascinating perspective of any 'obsession' whatsoever...

Bring it on Ms. C. I can't wait.

2007-11-19T13:04:00.000-05:00

there's nothing like having so many people who are supposed to be as insane as you all around you to make you know better about your own insanity

You're so right, my dear! And even though I've not yet been in a real-life situation surrounded by Gyllenhaalics, I can definitely see a similar awareness has grown in me the longer I spend in the online fandom. What's most unfortunate is that so many of the people I come across in my online excursions do not seem the least bit aware of it. All they see are the fantasies and agendas they have projected themselves, and how they can make reality fit their perceptions. Fascinating but scary behavior, and the probable subject of a new post. :)

2007-11-19T12:55:00.000-05:00

Did Jeff Wells even notice that the faults he attributed to Jake's performance represent its own value?...ah critics...

My point exactly, thank you, Xenia. Apparently the answer to that is, uh, no. And as you said, critics. Yeesh. :P

An Italian journalist who interviewed Jake during the European Zodiac Premiere at Cannes, wrote in his article (quoting from memory): 'He (Jake) always thinks a lot before answering a question, pondering if what he's going to say is really necessary to make his message more intelligible...a very rare quality among the movie stars interviewed here at Cannes...'

Wow, thanks for letting us in on that comment. I always love to hear unbiased praise for our boy. It just backs up everything I already feel myself. :)

Must remember later to send you email about HTML and Blogger replies. I can't really explain it properly here because of the way the characters get read by Blogger's system.

And yes, the Esquire pic has just become my new work desktop! It's remarkably stimulating for the chasteness of it. It's all in what does show: that face with those eyes, those lips, and guh! those arms. *fans self*

2007-11-19T08:35:00.000-05:00

I could never afford to spend 20,000 dollars for a bid, or anything else for that matter...
My trip to Rome was my bid and I'm still dealing with the consequences...

But my expierence as a Gyllenhalic 'in a mission' has been quite enlightning about the weirdness of 'fandom'...because there's nothing like having so many people who are supposed to be as insane as you all around you to make you know better about your own insanity...

And yes, I agree, I don't want him to know how he affected us because THIS could affect him, and because, as you said, our obsession has not so much to do with him really...well...maybe, a little bit...;)
