What is with this Jensen watch??
Mar. 25th, 2008 07:59 amI hesitate to post this, because I just KNOW you guys are gonna think that I'm making this shit up - but I swear it's TRUE!
First it was the guy at the Italian deli, then the gal at the wellness screening. Now...it's my physical therapist.
See, I've lost the natural curve to my neck and the bones are compressing, pinching the nerves in my neck, which is kinda painful, and could be a contributing factor to my chronic migraines. So I started seeing a chiropractor and physical therapist to correct the problem.
Last night I was there and I have to do some stretching exercises up against a wall. I no more than extended my arm up and the gal (who's around my age, mid-30's) suddenly says, "Who's that on your watch?"
I couldn't believe this was happening again! LOL! I mean, is there some sort of spotlight coming from Jensen's face on this watch that people are helpless to look away from?? LOL!
So I say, "His name's Jensen Ackles. He's an actor on - "
"Supernatural!" she suddenly cuts me off and I actually stopped my stretching to turn and look at her in amazement.
"You know Supernatural?"
"Absolutely! I love it! Hey, did you know that the actors were here back in the fall at a convention?"
I think my mouth was actually hanging open at this point. :-) I told her that I was actually able to go to the con and meet both Jensen and Jared and she said she was jealous and bummed, because she didn't find out about it until the day after it was over, when another one of her patients said that they'd been there.
We chatted about the show while I did my exercises, then I have to go do this traction thing on my neck where I have to lay still for about ten minutes in this weird chair. When she came back to get me later, she opened the door and said, "Ok, stop that daydreaming about Jensen!" LOL!
So yeah - three times in as many weeks I've been asked about this watch and I ended up finding a fellow fan because of it!
And to prove I'm not making this up, here's what the watch looks like:

See? Wouldn't YOU take one look at that gorgeous face and ask me about him? :-)
ETA: Since some folks have asked, I had the watch custom made by a guy I did business with on ebay

I don't think I'd be able to resist asking, either. :-) Hey, I'm glad to be a walking billboard for Jensen and SPN!

Date: 2008-03-26 01:34 pm (UTC)It's like hysterically unbelievable at this point. :-) And the funny thing is, I have a different Jensen watch that I'd been wearing for a year and no one asked me a thing about it. I suddenly get this one and I'm playing 20 questions!

And hope everything goes ok with your neck!

Oh, thanks so much! I should be feeling some relief in a month or so.

I think it's very cool, too, especially the guy at the deli. I mean, how many guys look at things like that?

Date: 2008-03-25 05:28 pm (UTC)You know,it would be clear to any hunter worth his bag of salt and pump shotgun what is going on here. You're simply too close to the situation to realize the terrible truth:
Your watch is haunted.
Seriously. Possessed. I can't believe you don't realize this. You even refer to the "spotlight coming from Jensen's face" ... totally not normal!
I think there's a demon in there; one with an agenda. It's obviously using you as a lure to identify Jensen fans for later dispatching. And as we all should realize by now, once you are no longer useful to a demon, you're toast too.
So, really, there's only one way to save yourself ....
GET RID OF THE WATCH! NOW, BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!
I nobly and self-sacrificingly offer to take it off your hands and save your soul and your life.
b/c me to make arrangements.
Virtuously,
GreenWoman

Date: 2008-03-26 01:52 pm (UTC)My watch is possessed!
I thank you for unselfishly offering to take it from me, but because I am to blame by having this watch specially created, I feel that I must see this through to the end and keep the watch with me, no matter the outcome. ;-)

Date: 2008-03-26 11:51 pm (UTC)Are you going to leave it to anyone when you ... um ... get collected? If so, please remember me. ;-)
BTW, you should tell the guy on e-bay that you can probably drum up some business for him if he's interested.

There are others vying for it, but you're on the top of the list!

I really should ask him, since there were quite a few comments asking where I got it. I highly doubt he'd mind more business!

Date: 2008-03-26 12:48 am (UTC)Barb, it's not a spotlight coming from Jensen's face, it's a heavenly beam shining down from above ... just as it should be! Heh!

Date: 2008-03-26 01:54 pm (UTC)LOL! Oh god, that's it! I always knew that boy was special. ;-)

Date: 2008-03-26 03:11 am (UTC)You can't fight it, hun. It's the raw magnatism that is Jensen. It cannot be denied! Heehee! :D
But seriously? Finding new fans is never a bad thing, right? :)

Date: 2008-03-26 01:56 pm (UTC)LOL! Yes! People are powerless to resist!

Nope, never! I'm really enjoying talking up Jensen and the show.

Beautiful watch! Did you design it?
Yeah, I did, actually. I bought a watch from a guy on ebay and he said that if I ever wanted a custom one done, just ask. So I did! :-)
