Fangirl Room for the Fangirled

It’s surprising how much has changed since I declared (and acknowledged) that Sam Concepcion has been sent to my Recycle Bin to dwell at the moment, to be restored until further notice. I didn’t actually delete him; I just erased him for the time being. If I wanted to forget him, I would’ve shift-deleted – no restoring, no control-z whatsoever. To do that I should have adequate reasons, like maybe he changed his personality and became a lunatic on the run, or maybe he deliberately broke my heart just for kicks. But those are impossible to happen (and he can’t break my heart because he doesn’t even know my name), so shift-deleting him is out of the question. But for now, I’m trying hard enough to lessen my fangirl love for him. It’s for the better. I still like and admire him; I still think he’s a superb performer with amazing outfits and a great man and all that, but the skyrocketing admiration I used to have for him has now descended and touched ground. I don’t bother with frequently checking his Twitter feeds or catching all his performances on TV. It just wasn’t the same anymore.

But I will always be a Samster, maybe not the hormone-flowing Samster with perfect attendance in all of Sam Concepcion’s gigs, but still a Samster nonetheless.


Since my Fangirl Room for the Fangirled is almost empty and has enough space for some new recruits, I’ve noticed I get easily attracted to different celebrities/famous people these days. When I was a rabid Samster, all my attention was for Sam and Sam alone. I didn’t care about others. For me, the most perfect man to fangirl over was only him. Now that I’ve had a change of perspective, the Fangirl Room for the Fangirled is now wide open. If I see a really attractive guy/girl on TV or somewhere else, I’d crawl to the ends of the world to know his/her bio and/or Twitter account, hence, cyber-stalking. And then I’d let it settle for a few days. If I still find myself attracted to him/her, I’d continue with the stalking and maybe download his/her pictures (or songs, if he/she’s a singer) and become creepy in the best way I can.

Some of the recent new recruits I have are the following (this sounds like I’m ticking off my grocery list, doesn’t it?):


Colton Dixon. Oh, you know, that amazing American Idol finalist who shares the number one spot in my Best Performers to Join AI list with Adam Lambert? Oh, yes, that’s Colton. I can’t explain to you the extent of my love for him. Let’s just say even though he’s declared to the world how much he loves his girlfriend, the admiration I have for him is unwavering. His being honest about his love life just added points in my fangirl meter (he admitted about it in front of the Messengers on his fan’s day!). Honest, talented and a Jesus freak – what a perfect role model.

Kristen Stewart. I just adore/love Kristen. I still don’t remember her middle name, but I can say that I’m a Krisbian (meaning “I’d go lesbian for KStew”) nonetheless. I started obsessing over her when I saw The Runaways, and when I learned she has a knack for grungy-type of fashion (whoever her stylist is, she’s my hero). And the fact that she swears a lot but still be stunning and been in a scandal but has risen again don’t actually hurt. She has some tons of haters all over because of her choices and her (apparently) aloof personality (plus the constant poker face), but she gives zero fucks about it – and that’s why I believe she’s amazing. (See Speak, though: she was incredible.)

Dave Franco. I had always admired the smart and attractive James Franco, but I had to take our age gap into consideration (what?). It was sad that I had to shift-delete him, but then, halleluiah (!!), James apparently has a younger (equally smart, equally sexy) brother! I’ve been hearing a lot about Dave but didn’t give much attention until I saw 21 Jump Street (which is fantastic, BTW). He’s so darn cool I just had to stalk him. So then I saw Warm Bodies. Now I’ve heard he’s doing a movie with Zac Efron (who’s also making my ovaries cry)… Franco + Efron = Life Complete.

Phoebe Tonkin. Phoebe has to be the sexiest and most stunning witch-turned-werewolf I’ve seen! I first saw her in – what else? – The Secret Circle. I didn’t notice her right away because I was paying more attention to the show’s settings, but I started to when I learned that her character’s name is Faye Chamberlain (meaning, hello, my name’s also Faye). And then out of nowhere, she wore lesser and lesser clothing each episode. I have a bit of a pervert fangirl in me, so I got equally fascinated with both her face and her body. She’s just so beautiful, isn’t she? When TSC got cancelled, I was more disappointed in the fact that I wouldn’t see her anymore. Maybe my stars were aligned perfectly, but she got an acting gig in no less than my favorite The Vampire Diaries (where all the actors/actresses are stunning)! And her character hooked up with Joseph Morgan’s; can it get any better than this?

Jamie Campbell-Bower. To be honest, I don’t find Jamie really that attractive for a guy. I mean, he’s British and all, but if you compare him to other Brits (like Jude Law or Andrew Garfield), he doesn’t stand out. But, you know, his acting skills are just so amazing I feel like he’s the most beautiful Brit ever. I saw him already in several movies before, but only took notice when I learned that he’d be playing Jace Wayland’s character in the movie adaptation of City of Bones. Since then I collected information about him: he was apparently a Volturri vampire in Breaking Dawn, the one with the ridiculous hair; he was also Bonnie Wright’s (Ginny Weasley) former fiancé. To be honest (again), I had doubts about his casting as Jace (every fangirl has a dream cast), but when I saw the movie trailer, I realized he’s perfect. Now I’m just so excited to see COB this August.

Teresa Palmer. I never knew who Teresa was until I saw I Am Number Four. When she blew up Four’s former house, I was like, “What a bad-ass chick!” Her hotness level ties with Phoebe, which isn’t at all surprising since they’re, like, best friends in real life. Why do all beautiful girls huddle together? What is this, high school with the popular girls? And, what, I’m the nerdy, pimply girl who adores them from the corner? Her speaking voice is also unfairly sexy, like she’s giving you orgasm just by her sexy-talk. Just to be clear, I saw Warm Bodies because of her also (and okay, Nicholas Hoult), where I realized that she has the capability to make the most gruesome activities look sexy – like shooting smelly, eternally shrugging zombies.


Surely this isn’t the end of my Fangirl Room. Actually, I can make this room bigger. I’m the boss, and I can build a Fangirl Mansion for the Fangirled if I want to. I will because I can.
