Out Spotlight CV



Today's Out Spotlight is Project 10, the nation’s first school-based support program for gay and lesbian students, taking the organization’s name from the 10% of the population estimated by the Kinsey surveys to be gay or lesbian.


Project 10 is a Los Angeles Unified School District onsite support program for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth. Founded by Dr.Virginia Uribe in 1984 it came from her research for her Ph.D were she concluded there were issues that LGBT youth in schools face as well their unmet needs as out . It came from her research for her Ph.D. in psychology. A survey of the 10 largest school districts in the United States revealed a startling lack of support services for this target population.

Not long after, she noted that an openly gay student at Fairfax High School named Chris had dropped out after he was continually harassed by fellow students. Further investigation showed that Chris had been kicked out of his home at age 14 after telling his parents he was gay. Fairfax was the fourth high school he had left after sexual harassment proved too much for him.

It wasn't until October 1999 California Governor Gray Davis signed AB 537, which added sexual orientation to the list of protected categories in the California Education code. Now, along with victims of discrimination based on race, ethnicity, gender, and religion, gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students have a procedure for filing complaints of discrimination based on their sexual orientation and gender identity. For 15 years Project 10 was there for LGBTQ youth in California until California caught up to them.

Project 10's mission is to ensure safe, supportive and welcoming campuses free from discrimination and harassment for sexual minority youth. Its services include on-campus support groups that are safe zones for LGBT students, services to help district personnel implement policies affecting LGBT students, and support for school district staff who address the needs of at-risk youth.

They focus on dropout and suicide prevention, substance abuse education, student empowerment, reduction of verbal and physical abuse, and accurate HIV/AIDS information. Project 10 is made up of seven elements: A district resource center and program adviser; Workshops to train administrators, counselors, teachers, and other staff members on the issues of institutional prejudice and the special needs of LGBT youth; Development of onsite student support groups led by trained facilitators; Assistance to school librarians in developing fiction and nonfiction materials on LGBT subjects; Assist schools to be in compliance with nondiscrimination policies, Title IX sexual harassment provisions, and the Equal Access Act regarding the formation of Gay-Straight Alliances; Advocacy for LGBT student rights through task forces, parent groups, and community outreach programs; and Networking with community agencies, parents, educational organizations, and teacher unions.

Project 10 provides workshops, and events throughout the year for the LGBTQ youth in the LA School District. One event is Models of Pride. The 17th annual Models of Pride Conference was just held on October 17th. The one day conference is free and open to lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer (LGBTQ) youth, and allies, ages 14 to 23.

It was created in 1993 as a means of providing a safe and positive environment where LGBTQ youth could network with each other and expose themselves to new ideas and information. The conference is day long gathering of workshops, entertainment, a resource fair, food, networking opportunities, live music, and a dance party finale.
This year 35 different workshops for students to choose.

Project 10 also sponsors the Models of Excellence scholarships. Which are given annually for LGBTQ youth and allies who are currently graduating from a Southern California senior high school (private, public, or parochial). Another activity Project 10 sponsors is a LGBTQ Youth prom for kids 14-23 in the LA area.

Definitely there was some type of party going on at that restaurant. It looks like Falstin and Sophia were expected.

As for poor Fake and reese they are left to hanging out at airport restaurants. I guess no one can stand them.

In the name of The Father and of The Son and The Holy Tweeter. Amen

Florida Tom said...

I got to say Falstin is drop dead gorgeous. He is the kind of guy who will look good in anything and better with it off. Shame he cant act for squate.

Florida Tom said...

Now for Fake. He doesnt really evenlook good anymore which is a real shame but I think he is a tad bit better actor than Falstin. Not much but a little better. My bet even though Fake doesnt want to be remembered for Jack Twist is that it will be his role of a lifetime. cant see anymore Oscar noms for him. Just not that good.

Florida Tom said...

Ok I am on a roll. The first thing I want to say is that there is no Baby Tile. Either Ted got that one wrong or out right lied. As for Fake and Falstins relationship I think they spend very little time together. They cant risk it. The first set of biking pics last year put that to an end. I very much think they are Gay as May and phony as a two dollar bill. To think how much I adored these two men now I see them as two phony cowards who have ZERO soul.Falstins interview was as phony and superficial as could
be. I would not spend two cents or give one second of my time to further their careers.

By the way doesnt Fakes PR know he shouldnt be hanging out with purple creatures. I loved the teabagging comments.

Florida Tom said...

Awesome Spotlight SK. Great to see the kids in California have the resources they need to deal with the pressures of their lives.

Wouldnty it be be wonderful to see people like Fake and Faustin showing up at these schools to support these kids and to be great role models. People like Fake and Faustin have no soul.

prairiegirl said...

What a great thing this Project 10 is and what an awesome thing Dr. Uribe is doing. You know, adolescence is a hard enough thing as it is for everyone let alone dealing with a sexual awakening. I cannot, cannot imagine. How alone some of these kids must feel and to think of all those before this time who, no way would they have had any kind of support network like this. I wish there was something like this in all schools. Maybe California just has alot bigger schools or something.

Very uplifting reading 1st thing this morning

Tom, did you forget to take your pills? Sorry, but you're acting like a 13-year old schoolgirl, who just realized that her teacher won't marry her. Stay calm, for Gods sake !!

prairiegirl said...

Tom, I had to be careful as I'm eating my cereal while reading your comments this morning. You were killing me. lol.

I'm sorry but it was all just killing me. Faulstin. What did you have for breakfast this morning, buddy?

Boy, I tell you what. It doesn't get any better than the kind of weather we are having here. People are wearing shorts and it was up in the 70's yesterday, the same today. This is awesome. I wish I knew which tote my clear lights were in because this is the ideal time to get the Christmas lights up in the windows before they get real cold. But man, I have no idea which one they're in. I don't know why I don't mark this stuff on the outside.

prairiegirl said...

No need to get insulting. See? Someone's got to test the grounds. People on OMG having too nice a time conversing so a wrench has to be thrown into it.

Time to hit the ignore button. I am off to the land of Word now. Everyone get out and enjoy this fabulous weather! This is awesome.

Cmon have the guts to identify urself. I am sick of these two. They make me wanna puke. I said earlier this week I didnt think NG Girl made that last comment. However I did agree with what she said. For me this is not a kneel at the altar fansite. Never has been. It has been about Jake and Austin being gay period. If someone doesnt like what I say too bad. I am not leaving this site but when when these two phonies need to be trashed I will do it.

I actually did take my medicine this morning. I took two Advil and a Naprosin. I have a very sore shoulder. I also took my Crestor last night.

Dear Ted:
Who's going to be People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive this year? Toothy Tile? Has he ever held that title?

Dear Sexy Toothy:
No, Toothy hasn't won that coveted title, but he could be a contender.

Florida Tom said...

I am currently talking to Fartgirl. She is just leaving church. She told me that she let one go and the church had to be evacuated. The fire company had to come and hose the poor church down.
PG never admitted it was her.

prairiegirl said...

Tom!!!!!

lol said...

BAD Tom!

Gentleman Austin said...

Sophia is such a lucky girl. Her buddy Austin hurried up and opened the door for her and let her go thru first. Although it didn't show them leaving I bet he did the same thing when they exited. Reeke OTOH... lol

destiny said...

LOL Tom. Falstin. And I can't believe you're telling tales on poor PG. :-D :-D :-D

Gentleman, you bring up a point I've been thinking about. For starters, I'm wondering what to make of that remark from Austin about him having chemistry with Sophia both on and off screen. I do think it is a dig at Reeke. Now I'm also wondering if it isn't Austin also thinking he's going to out there and beard and do it right, as though that is a great thing to aspire to. Pathetic.

Still don't know what he thinks he's going to gain from it. Looks to me like more and more young actors are refusing to play that game even if they don't come out, especially those who work on television.

You don't see the other actors on OTH running around like this, hell, I have no idea whether Lafferty is gay, straight, married, has a girlfriend, single, etc. Buckles isn't doing it either. So while initially this may have been to create some buzz for the show, I don't think that is the case.

destiny said...

I especially love reading about people and organizations that help gay teens. While things are so much better for them than it used to be, there are still so many issues.

And of course one of the things they have to deal with is the heterosexual norm that dominates the culture. That is just one more reason why what Austin is doing is wrong.

Boy, there are so many nasty things going through my head that I could say about Austin right now, but I'm going put the computer down and go back out to enjoy the warm weather, grab some wings and beer at my favorite neighborhood bar with outside seating.

PG, the leaves here in NYC are kind of dull this year, or at least so far. Mostly turning brown or a dull yellow. A lot of trees are still green too, so maybe the right ones just haven't turned yet. Even looking across the Hudson River from the park, usually the Pallisades Park across the way is a riot of color, and this year it is not.

prairiegirl said...

I'm puzzled, too, Destiny. But you know what, too? Special brought this point up before. Maybe Austin is at the same time as promoting for OTH, taking some of the pressure off of Jake. What if Jake really was doing kind of badly there for awhile?

I know that some of his family is located in NY but some of this Sophin is coming around the time and on the heels of Jake spending alot of time with family. Maybe Jake was having a rough time and was reaching out? His family was reaching out to him and giving some TLC? Seems kind of unlikely and will probably be said just before a really good Reekfest, but just throwing it out there for now.

prairiegirl said...

Second of all, I need to say excuse me since I am a midwesterner and us Midwesterners are polite. So if I stink up the place, I will give an "excuse me"!

lol

prairiegirl said...

And last of all, if it's okay with WFT2, I'd like to re-post a twitter that was posted thre on Fri, the 6th.

Brothers tweet said...
@IamChrisMann i will meet Jake Gyllenhaal and Toby Mcguire on Sunday at special Brothers movie premiere, that are my wknd plans ;)

It would be interesting to know when this guy put this up. Was he referring to this Sunday as in today? Probably since it certainly wasn't last Sunday.

So is Jake in California today? Or is he in Pittsburgh as some twitters are stating? Interesting. Guess we'll find out eventually.

Okay, well, I'm off. Everyone have a good afternoon!

LA update said...

KitCatFilms: @contactthequeen and I are seeing the Brothers! We really hope Jake Gyllenhaal shows up lol ;). Well at least the director will be here :)
8 minutes ago

Florida Tom said...

Good pick up PG. If that premiere is this weekend that would put Jake in LA this weekend. Maybe he got out of going because of work. I cant see how he could get away with PR tweets putting him in Pitts and having pics taking at the premiere in LA.

prairiegirl said...

This Chris Mann is a recording artist. He's good looking. He was on this other twitter when he said this statement, is my conclusion?

The twitter he was making this comment on was "cupcake" something or other. Looking at the convos going on, one or two of these other people work for catering outfits or something? Interesting reading and fun to do a little investigative work, lol.

This Chris Mann has a website; the song that is playing when you open it up sounds pretty good! Hey, always cool to come across new music that you wouldn't hear otherwise.

Gyllenhaal goes straight to 'Source' said...

Jake Gyllenhaal is in negotiations to star in sci-fi thriller "Source Code" for Vendome Pictures and The Mark Gordon Co. Duncan Jones will direct and Mark Gordon will produce with Vendome’s CEO Philippe Rousselet and Jordan Wynn. Production is slated to begin during the first quarter.

Summit Entertainment will distribute the film in the U.S. Summit International is also handling the international sales, which began at the American Film Market with over 15 territories licensed.

"Source Code" centers on a soldier who wakes up in the body of an unknown commuter and is forced to live and relive a harrowing train bombing until he can determine who is responsible for it.

Project had originally been set up at Universal in early 2007 when the studio bought Ben Ripley's screenplay and attached Topher Grace to star. Uni tapped Shane Abbess to helm last year. Current script includes revises by Billy Ray ("State of Play").

Rousselot noted that "Source Code" will launch the Vendome slate, adding he believes it will appeal to a world-wide audience and exemplifies the types of producers and filmmakers with whom Vendome plans to work. He and co-CEO Fabrice Gianfermi plan to produce a minimum of a dozen films over the next five years.

prairiegirl said...

Hard to tell if Jake is really supposed to be there or not. This Chris Mann guy sounded like he thought he was meeting Jake & Tobey. Maybe he was misdirected? Is he going to perform there or something?

Interesting all in all. Okay, I'm off! Again. lol

Thank you, LA Update, for the update! I was just on that cupcake twitter page. Contact the Queen. lol. That's pretty good. She ought to call it Cater to the Queen, that would be even better.

Variety said...

Gyllenhaal is currently filming "Love and Other Drugs," helmed by Ed Zwick, and will next be seen in Jim Sheridan’s "Brothers" and Disney's "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time."

Jones is currently writing the screenplay of the upcoming film "Mute," which he will also direct. He has previously directed "Moon," starring Sam Rockwell.

Gordon’s most recent projects include "2012," "The Messenger," starring Ben Foster and Woody Harrelson," and "The Details," with Tobey Maguire and Laura Linney.

Gentleman Austin said...

Austin also thinking he's going to out there and beard and do it right

Maybe it's a new game/competition between him and Jake. I can just imagine a convo between them: Austin reprimanding Jake that a guy is supposed to open the door and let the lady go first, and telling him that constant obvious handholding does not a romance make. Then saying, "Watch and learn, you Dumbass!"

I wonder which one will be the first to get a photo op of them bringing flowers to their beard. My guess is Austin.

whut? said...

Who the hell are Jones and Gordon?! Should we care?!

Jake said...

I expect you to care about my projects!

whut? said...

n/m I didn't see the above comment. I still don't care tho. lol

Jake said...

Bad fan!

judge not....... said...

Bearding actor..bad gay!

t said...

From Pittsburgh, there was an earlier twwetof them at Whole foods in Pitts. Doesn't sound like he is going to be in L.A., the tweeter may have just assumed he was going to be there.


21streetcoffee: Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal stopped in for a pair of cortados. Drew and Kevin working- got to meet Russell Crowe last week too.
about 1 hour ago from Tweetie

t said...

There is no premiere of Brothers tonight in L.A.tonight for brothers Tom, the movie comes out on 12/4, too eqarly for a premiere. There are at least 4 tweets placing him in Pittsburgh this weekend.

That person got invited to a screening and she assumes he is going to be there, notice the only confirmed person is Sheridan.

Special K said...

Thanks for the info on Source Code, that would be interesting, and while Donnie Darko is a bit of a sci-fi movie, it is one genre Jake really hasn't done.

Jared said...

LOL Bushnic at WeHo, Mafta

a-ha said...

DUH. I finally remembered and *got* it. Duncan Jones.. the guy who twittered that he met Jake for an early breakfast meeting a few months ago.. the guy who's dad is David Bowie.

Duncan is/was Zowie Bowie.

"Source Code" script review

destiny said...

I really loved Duncan's movie The Moon. There would have been a time when I would have been thrilled with this news, because I am sure it will be an interesting film, but since I don't plan on seeing any of Jake's films in the near future ....

Florida Tom said...

I feel bad about judging Jakes and Austins acting abilities. I am far from an expert when it comes to that. I just feel so bad thinking that they are two gay men living a lie to further their careers in Hollywood. Shame on them and shame on HW. But like Destiny I cant support Jakes career in anyway till the bearding stops. Ditto for Austin.

prairiegirl said...

Wow, Sophin have 75 comments already on JJ. Sophia gets alot of reaction, doesn't she? She's an actress who appeals to both sexes, I notice. Austin seems to be getting 1/2 and 1/2 reaction. 1/2 seem to love him & Sophia together (the eternal "they're so cute together!! squee! comments) and 1/2 all seem to be calling him a user. lol.

And then there's all the "but I thought he was gay and Jake's boyfriend or former boyfriend" comments.

Quite a diverse mix of comments.

Thanks, t, for your help. Yeah, it sounds like that person was misfed information or else he assumed, like you said. Sounds like Ice Maiden was in Pitt. Man, it must absolutely kill her to not have paps in Pittsburgh. lol

prairiegirl said...

m, where've you been??

Tainted Evidence has just completed and she put it up today!!

Special K said...

PoP trailer just ran on before Sunday NFL on NBC.

Special K said...

Excited about Source Code. Read the first 20 pages or so of the script. Really really good. The premise, the role, another one that will stretch Jake. Potential for another cult classic. Like that Jake continues to look for different roles and not getting boxed into same kind of role over and over again.

Have heard great stuff about Moon. Looking forward with what Duncan does with Source Code. Hard to call him Duncan Jones, always think of him as Zowie Bowie.

Richard Kelly - great quotes from Jake. And totally on point.

About The Box. The majority of it was shot in Boston and the burb, some even close to me two years ago and have been waiting to see it since they did.

destiny said...

I saw the PoP trailer too Special, but my girlfriend had the computer and so you beat me to it. :-D I have to say it looks a lot better on tv than on my computer.

Tom, regarding your comments about J&A's acting, the way I look at it is that J&A and their people must not have much confidence in their acting or who they are. They seem to think the only way to sell themselves or get ahead is on the arm of a more famous woman. So I wouldn't feel to bad about your comment, you're only reacting to the message we're getting with the bearding.

And in Jake's case in particular the loss of confidence since bearding stares us right in the face almost every time we see pictures of him. But how long until we see that with Austin? As PG pointed out, not everyone loves Austin, and we're seeing the re-surfacing of the "user" comments he used to get when he was seen with Jake.

Sophia does have her fans, that's for sure, lots of women refer to her as their "girl crush".

m said...

Well, finally a prospective Jake movie that I can get behind. The description of Source Code is exactly the kind of film that I enjoy. Glad to see Jake doing it.

PG, thanks for the tip-off re Tainted Evidence. I mentioned before that I am rereading Best Friends Forever. I forgot how long that story is. I just finished chapter 54 and am on the down hill swing. I get obsessive when I am rereading - cant put the story down so it is cutting into my time for anything else. But I will make time for TE, especially since it is the end of the story. I also stopped for Tenderfoot. I may have to reread Tainted Evidence soon since it was started so long ago.

Not sure why, but I am not as bummed out about Austin at this point. I think there may be a bit of revenge or even poking fun going on. That is he is copying Jake's actions to poke fun at him. Also I still see two old friends, coworkers spending time together and letting people come to their own conclusions, right or wrong.

Former TBer said...

People, People, Tom, Destiny, and Prairiegirl, When are you all gonna learn? You can complain about Jake and Austin until the cows come home, but it's not gonna make the 2 live the way YOU want them to. Most of you really have tunnel vision about J/A's sexuality, but sorry, it's just not like that, for now anyway. Everything is not black and white as most want them to be, and this includes peoples interest in sex partners. Everything possible points to the both of these guys in a relationship with Reese and Sophia. And, they really are. Even if it was just an arrangement in the beginning. Jake and Austin had relationships with girls / women in the past, so what makes it so difficult to understand that it could be happening again? Jake and Reese have been around each other for what now?? Austin is now speaking out about his involvement with Sophia. Come on, see the light. Nobody's trying to pull the wool over your eyes.

If Jake and Austin had something in the past, it may and really looks like it's history now, especially if it was sexual. And many including myself believe this. Give it up. It really looks childish as one poster posted to continue to attack peopel even if they are fair game celebrity's because they are not living their lives the way you or I want them too.

There are other gay and OUT celebrity's to root for, why not do it. And, you don't know for a fact that Jake or Austin is really gay. If anyone beleives anything that Ted wrote over the years, most would beleive Jake and Austin would like both sexes. But the reality is the staunch poster who constantly complains about them instead of excepting them for who they are and their craft (acting / movies) have an agenda to make these two their savior or something. NOT Right.

Live and let live. Love and Let love. Hey, years from now J/A they may be back together, but for now, they are NOT. There is no need to get upset about this.

The resident troll calling me a troll. How prophetic.

Don't let the truth get in the way of your silly fantasy LOL.

Oh look, Austin has the blue ring on, which MUST mean he and Jake are gay and having it off. SHEESH

Isn't he strongly rumored to be gay and bearding?! Jensen Ackles and gf Danneel Harris are engaged. On ONTD - holy crap, already 3723 comments on 45 pages.

Thanks for confirming that you can only post here if you believe J&A are gay.

I also believe in body thetans.

deluded said...

Why would Reese, who is an intelligent girl, waste over TWO years of her life on a gay guy? That makes no sense whatsoever. When she could be spending those two years finding a guy who loves her and her children and making a real life together. And why are you so sure Jake is gay? Just because he made that movie with Heath? Was Heath gay too?

I think some people have too much time on their hands.

tick tock said...

FYI you're the one with too much time on your hands - posting and arguing on a site that is clearly not with your beliefs. You're like a Jehovah Witness at Easter Mass questioning everyone and trying to convert people to your religion. Go waste your time somewhere else.

auto escort said...

she could be spending those two years finding a guy who loves her

Lol, no one wants to date the General, much less "love" her. Jake is her gay date.

silly trolls said...

Florida Tom said...

former tber. got to admit u make perfect sense. i have no clue who u are but u may be 100 percent correct. i read ur post twice and i will not call u a troll or a babbler. i am not sure why u feel the need to come here and try to convince us we should get over j and a. i would like for you to explain that. i dont sense any nastiness in ur post. just curious why u took the time.

:) said...

Former TBer is a troll who posted the same bullshit 20 times before.

Correction:

"Former TBer" is a troll who posted the same bullshit 20 times before - here and on WFT2.

No correction. Still the same bs from the resident troll

Poor trolls, it must be very boring on GB! LOL

What's GB, troll

Florida Tom said...

i constantly ask myself why i still want to believe that jake and austin are gay and still in a relationship. at this point i have no clue what the truth is. a regular left this site because of the way other folks are attacked who have different opinions. i am willing to listen to others who have different opinions as long as they are polite. sk is very willing to let others put forth their opinions here unlike gbabbler. i think that is a good idea. again as long as they are polite and do not attack other folks who still want j and a to be together.

i have been up all night with a very painful sore shoulder. i just called in sick and need to get to the dr today. this came out of nowhere starting last monday. it woke me out of my sleep. it is much worse when i try to lay down. i got a funny feeling this is related to my fall earlier in the yr. maybe a tear in my rotaor cuff. not sure but it is really bad.

Sorry Tom, but this is troll talk:

People, People, Tom, Destiny, and Prairiegirl, When are you all gonna learn? ... There are other gay and OUT celebrity's to root for, why not do it.

REAL fan said...

Put as others stated, you on this board pick what you wish to see and ignore or mock what you don't.

It's just disgusting that posters make up lies about two human beings with families and friends.

WHY... because Teddy created a blind item and because of a few photos from years ago.

Not because you know them or anyone who actually knows them either.

You lot cannot honestly say that you care about either of these two men with the sick fantasies that you believe.

silly babblers said...

the babblers are restless today hahahahahahaha hehehehehehe

prairiegirl said...

Tom, sorry to hear about your shoulder. Yeah, it does sound like something's going on there.

I agree with smiley. I don't think former TB'er is a true former TB'er either. A true former TB'er once they came to believe that Jake & Austin are truly straight (or even bi) would have long left this site. They wouldn't even be lurking in. No way. Those who would believe that J&A are long over with and in a true romantic relationship with their beards would indeed find this site totally ridiculous.

The fact that they continue to lurk and see what is being said proves the point that they are a troll.

You know, I hated that word troll. I used to refuse to use it. It comes to my tongue alot easier now. Because that's what these people are. Funny how it's all gotten stirred up again; not sure what has caused it. I would say it's the total lack of Reeke. Must be frustrating. So what better things to do than to go hate on others?

prairiegirl said...

From the website www.flayme.com and the article on trolls. This site is everything troll, lol.

Why do trolls do it?
I believe that most trolls are sad people, living their lonely lives vicariously through those they see as strong and successful.

Disrupting a stable newsgroup gives the illusion of power, just as for a few, stalking a strong person allows them to think they are strong, too.

For trolls, any response is 'recognition'; they are unable to distinguish between irritation and admiration; their ego grows directly in proportion to the response, regardless of the form or content of that response.

Trolls, rather surprisingly, dispute this, claiming that it's a game or joke; this merely confirms the diagnosis; how sad do you have to be to find such mind-numbingly trivial timewasting to be funny?

Remember that trolls are cowards; they'll usually post just enough to get an argument going, then sit back and count the responses (Yes, that's what they do!).

i hear u smiley. lets face it though the babblers or trolls may be correct. but i certainly hear homophophic remarks from real fan. i sure dont think what we want to believe about j and a are sick. not at all. i still believe j and a were romantically involved. 100 per cent. just not sure what is going on now.

i sure dont see j an a as two guys who hoar around. the women who they are supposingly with make ya think they r the type of women who would do what they have to do for their careers. if sophia is bearding for a though than it makes u wonder why she would do such a homophobic thing when she is supposed to be gay friendly and why after years of being friends with j and a why would she suddenly hook up with a. maybe to save oth or because he asked her to do him a favor. with reese i think she is just a head case who is afraid of being irrelevant in hw and that is why she hooked up with jake. I dont see anymore june carter moments for her. she is no meryl streep. nut maybe they are both couples. i am not sure. that is just where i am right now not sure.


damn i cant wait till the drs office is open at 9am. my shoulder is killing me. OUCH!!!!

I F ING HATE THE COWBOYS...........

"Troll" my ass said...

Odd hat the "trolls" returned after you came back from your "hiatus" PG. Not the first time that happened. True the "trolls" which is the same person posting using differetnt names so it really is a "troll",did stop by for a bit while you were gone but not like now.

Maybe the "troll" likes messing with PG, LOL!

nut = but

Told ya. PG stinks up this blog.

lol.

What Is A Troll?
The term derives from "trolling", a style of fishing which involves trailing bait through a likely spot hoping for a bite. The troll posts a message, often in response to an honest question, that is intended to upset, disrupt or simply insult the group.

Usually, it will fail, as the troll rarely bothers to match the tone or style of the group, and usually its ignorance shows


Now I will say this. I was having my usual big J&A Current Relationship doubts when I happened to think about Reese travelling to the Pitt City to see ol' Jakey boy.

Interesting that she would fly there. Of course, it makes her look desperate.

But it also makes me see that since Austin was on the west coast, Jake was to remain at homebase. And obviously, since Atticus & whoever else could be considered part of this offbeat unit is with Jake, that wherever it is that he's staying is the homebase. Apparently gone are the days when these 2 are leaping at any chance to get papped, a strong opposite MO from their past trail of behavior.

Someone has changed the MO. For whatever reason. I believe Destiny has theoried about this on here before.

Tom, I wonder if you don't have some kind of a muscle strain? That's how my bicep strain started out. It came out of nowhere and in the matter of about 1/2 a day, I could no longer even raise my arm without excruciating pain.

prairiegirl said...

Just Sayin, please refrain from using PG. As I have said 100 times, that's the nickname from my friends here.

It's Prairiegirl who smells, not PG.

lol, I crack myself up sometimes. I'm talking about myself smelling.

Tom, so the Eagles must have lost last night, too??? Man, what a rough week!

Hey, at least the Eagles aren't as bad as the Chiefs. Talk about a sorry team and that's the Chiefs. I'm almost embarrassed to say I'm a Chiefs fan.

Ok, cats & jammers, I need to go get ready for work. Gonna take my good friend Just Sayin's advice and heavy it up on the body wash today. Don't need to be irritating the olfactory sensors of my colleagues. Just Sayin, do you have any good recommendations on strongly scented body washes? Does Febreze make one? That Febreze will kick out just about anything. I bought one of their new Christmas scents for our bathroom at work. LOLLLL! I can't believe I just shared that. SNICKER!!
I think that one is worthy of a snort!

So Just Sayin? Got a good recommendation on one? How about a deodorant? Perfume? Good smelling shampoo? Please do tell!

Hey, ya can't say I don't share anything personal on here.

lol. Everyone have a good morning. And a good afternoon.

lets face it though the babblers or trolls may be correct.

I don't think so.

Florida Tom said...

Just Saying said...

PG just stop passing gas when you are around. That will do it.

Script Reaction: Duncan Jones And Jake Gyllenhaal's Source Code

prairiegirl said...

Got any recommendations on that?

I'm going to tell you one more time, Just Sayin. You can talk to me all you want and do all your bodily function jabber. But it is Prairiegirl where you are concerned. Sorry; that's the way it is. We're not best buds; stop trying to pretend we are. If you insist on using PG, then I will have no choice but to love on you like crazy. And that will involve lots of hugging and cheek pecks. I'll have to ask you about your family and what your favorite kind of music is. Then I'll have to come visit you. How about that? That's what calling me pg leads to; just ask anyone else around here.

If that's what you want, then I'll be glad to hug you to death. And love on ya.

(((Tom)))) hope your shoulder feels better soon. I'm not an Eagles fan, but I hate Dallas, so I was sorry to see them win too.

ROFLMAO PG.

I think the JIS crowd is getting worried that Reeke may be winding down. They seem incapable of imaging anything that is not supported by pap photos.

m said...

The interns at E must be onto something big, and CAA have got wind of it. I think that's the reason for all the bashing.

destiny said...

ONTD, have you read any of the comments about Ackles, and if so, what is the reaction. I can't believe there are that many comments.

destiny said...

I think some of the comments are coming from the regular assortment of people who insist they know JIS, even though I think they really do think JIG. Sadly I think there are also a few TBers who post under different names for the purpose of attacking other TBers for being too negative.

But M I think you're right about some or all of what happened today being tied to CAA. There is someone who has posted here, under various names over the years, who I have always suspected has ties to and/or works for CAA or pr. I've recognized the same writing style and turn of phrases over the years. And as Wicked used to say, OMG is always being monitored by CAA and pr.

They've taken different approaches over the years. I think that for awhile they even pretended to be a TB believer, in the hopes I think of befriending some of us here/finding out if we knew anything that was not being discussed publicly. It's no secret that some of us have met each other and communicate/chat directly. But I think when that tactic failed they resorted to the nastiest of behavior, attacking individual posters, taking over the board on occassion to make it look like the people on OMG are turning against each other and that the place is falling apart.

They are determined to take down this blog, one way or another.

Too bad for them we're not going to let that happen.
