Ha, Sunny, you know what I’m talking about, plus you bring up exactly a weird thing I noticed about me too. Sometimes when the actor is good at playing themselves in roles, it is cause they have natural likability and charisma that they can pull that off. Like George Clooney has natural CHARM. Tom Cruise doesn’t (to me)

And I notice that certain things I don’t typically enjoy in general, with certain people, I DO like it but just with them! :lol: :crazy: Like I don’t enjoy the strong “Southern U.S.” accent, but with a certain actor who is from Georgia, I love the way it sounds for him, and him only, I like it. With Stephanie, she’s such a real “girly girl” type (and speaks kinda “valley girl-ish”) and I always thought I didn’t like that type of female, cause I’m not at all, more like a tomboy, but with her and only her, I like it :shrug: Go figure!!!

But its funny you point that out. Cause its true!

Yes, I am so happy someone can make me feel this level of Cloud 9 and good mood and that if I am in a sad mood, I have clips and B99 to watch and I will laugh or feel love seeing her :love:

I think you hit the nail on the head. If the person has charisma or exudes charm or anything *positive*, it works. When that person is dead inside, it doesn't work.

:lol: Sorry. I really don't like Tom Cruise. That's my issue, not anyone else's. Anyone out there who likes him, I mean you no shade whatsoever.

But there are a lot of actors (and actresses) who usually play versions of themselves. I think it depends on how you feel about them then.

And I think, like you with Stephanie being a girly girl or the deep Southern drawl of that other actor, when you like an actor, things that would irritate on someone you don't love suddenly work for you. I don't have an example of my own... but I hope you understand what I mean.

Yeah, I understand.

Actually I’m quite intrigued about the psychology of how you can like something for one certain person that for everything else you don’t like it. :lol: I’ll look up and see if I can read any psychology on that!

I'd be interested in what you find.

I think sometimes we're just random?

I mean, why are we friends with certain people and not others? Obviously, some people are just anathema to who we are and we'll never be friends. But for the rest... Everyone has qualities and everyone has flaws. So how do we "pick" those who will stick?

I don’t have a crush in the traditional sense, but if I was female it’d be this guy:

One of the most normal and friendly people you’ll ever meet and I find something endearing that he doesn’t have any social media and is incredibly modest even though women throw themselves at him

Charlie Hunnam!

I liked him in Nicholas Nickleby. :)

So I’m currently watching “Community” and Joel McHale is pinging my senses a bit as the lead guy. Not Stephanie levels here, but he’s kind of cute and it’s working on me a bit.

I don't know much about Joel McHale, but I like what I do know. :) He seems genuinely funny and mostly normal. :lol:

I mean that in the nicest possible way. These are qualities I value. :)

Yeah, I have no idea how he is in RL, but, man, he is a cutie!! :blush: And so is Donald Glover too in the same show. His fake crying is adorable :lol: I need to see what they both are like as their real selves.

Meanwhile, Stephanie remains my ray of sunshine daily. :love:

I've seen Donald Glover in The Martian, in which he was pretty adorable. That's the extent of my knowledge of any of those fellows. :lol:

I feel like I need to be talked down to return to being rational. :lol: there is an “auction” for a charity zoom call for 30 minutes with Stephanie Beatriz (and one of her co-stars from B99). So did I mention that one, she’s my crush and two, it’s my most favourite show ever?? :lol:

It ends tomorrow and I feel like no price is too high to get 30 minutes to talk to her (despite the co-star also being there) and I feel like I might actually bid a ridiculous amount for this. :embarrassment: Probably someone else will pay more and save me from a chunk of change….

Edit: too late, I did it, I’m crazy and I have 23 hours for someone else crazier than me to outbid me :lol: Its for charity and if I win a call with her, its worth it.

If you can afford it, bidding was never going to be a bad idea. :)

I'm crossing my fingers for your, Leanne. But, yeah, either way, you did a good deed.

I somehow won. :eek: This is going to happen in the future for me, half an hour with me and her (and Joe :look:). Unreal! I have to process the reality me and her will be face to face having our own talk. :thud:

And I kept my bid under my limit and I’m helping a charity that builds specialised housing for severely wounded veterans. :nod:

:woot: :woot: I'm so happy for you!

It was never gonna be a bad idea since it was all for a good cause and you could afford your bid.

But how awesome that you'll get to talk to her. If it helps you calm down, you could jot down a couple of topics you know you're both interested in... Maybe the wounded veteran thing is something you know about? There has to be a reason why she picked that charity, right?

Honestly, though, I think it'll be awesome. Just focus on enjoying it while it's happening.

Well, the moment has arrived this Thursday, I'll actually be talking with Stephanie Beatriz and Jo Lo Truglio from Brooklyn 99! I'm so excited but I basically got the date today so I have to be ready for this in just 2 days, :lol: Time to prepare my questions or subjects, cause as soon as they are really in front of my face, I'm gonna forget everything.
