Be My Valentine

Maybe it's an excess of finest Belgian chocolates, but I'm feeling a tad soppy tonight. So bear with me (in a manner of speaking), while I reacquaint myself with just a few of those little Jakisms which shot me through the heart like so many Cupid's arrows over the last five years. Each of these pictures means something special to me - for some reason or other and at one time or other - and are best enjoyed with some dark chocolates, a glass of fruity red and dimmed lighting - not forgetting the Jarhead soundtrack playing in the background, which no Valentine evening should be without. This post is my Valentine Card to Jake and to all of you xx.

















Includes pictures from IHJ.

Oh My! Such wonderful pics, but I have to say that lucky number 7 is my very favorite of all, is it from his BAFTA win? - part old-fashioned Hollywood romantic Rhett Butler movie star leading man, part breathtaking Valentine's love god. His hair and face are amazing in it. Thanks, and Happy Valentine's Day!

My word is threrm, which that pic makes my heart do! And of course, any pic of Jake as Jack Twist sets my heart a-flutter. ;)

Happy Valentines Day WDW. And Thank You for all the lovely pictures of Jake. He's the best Valentine a girl could hope for.

Happy Valentines everyone! And, if you don't care for Valentines, happy Saturday - I love them too :D

Hey Anon! I'm so glad you liked the pics. I thought that tonight I just wanted to post some of my very favourite pictures of Jake that have meant something to me over the years, including one of the pictures I adore so much from the other night.

That first pic was my all time fave pic of Jake for a long long time. For over 3 years. So it's hugely sentimental to me.

The Bafta pic was from the 2007 Baftas, the year after Jake's win, but the Baftas at which I was squeeing from the side of the red carpet. The supercool confidence and sexiness of this pose - unbelievable.

My word is mirang! Yum!

Happy Valentines Gail! Jake is perfect for the role. I'm wondering which film of Jake's to watch this evening - not BBM as I want no sadness - I'll have to mull it over.

Sorry, I meant pic number 9 - see what the man does to me? I can't even count properly. And did I tell you I love that white shirt? :)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Anon! I knew which picture yu meant, although No 7 is part of the same set as my beloved no 1 :D I love that white shirt too - Jake should be ordered to wear it at least once every two weeks.

I love the one with the tiny bike. It's such a great pic in many, many ways.

Anna said...

Oh, how rude of me... I forgot to say "Happy Valentine's day", WDE!!! Hugs!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Happy Valentines, Anna! Big hug to you xx I love that pic of Jake on his little bike - it has to be one of the most adorable pics of Jake, I'm so glad someone captured the moment!

Anna said...

WDE? Who's that? You're sister? ;-) Sorry...

Anna said...

OMG. No more Saturday drinks for me. YOUR. YOUR. YOUR.

*shakes head*

Wet Dark and Wild said...

OMG! Anna! Please don't make me laugh like that - it's not good after all those scallops :P I think you should put your feet up - I'd love to have a drink with you - keep them coming!

Happy Valentine's Day!! :D

Hope you all are having a lovely day/night.

WDW, perfect pictures to set the mood. ;)

I stopped by the theatre today and spent some time in their small coffee shop, enjoying and reading the Playbill from Uncle Vanya. Not surprisingly, no sightings but I had to stop by since I missed them on Thursday.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

That's great, Get Real! I'm so glad you stopped by. What a lovely thing to do. Have a great evening *)

Monica said...

Good night, wet dark!

Happy Valentine's Day!!
Brazil does not commemorate Valentine's Day today!
Celebrated on June 12!

Loved your post. You always choose great photos.
I never tire of looking at Jack Twist! Thanks!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hey Monica! I had no idea the day is celebrated on different days - June sounds much better for romance :) I'm so glad you liked the photos - these are some of my favourites, but it's hard to go wrong with pictures of Jake :D Have a lovely evening.

Happy Valentine's day!!
Yes, Monica is right about our Valentine's Day...except that I use do celebrate both. LOL!

WDW, June is winter time over here...so we celebrate cuddling too. The big difference is that we can't ask someone "Be my Valentine". We can only celebrate when we have a boyfriend. Or else...we just go under the blankets alone and eat chocolate watching TV, wishing we get so fat the world explodes and no one can ever have a reason to celebrate when we're miserable!
LOL!!!

Jake is...all!

xoxo

Hey Monica O! I forgot the different seasons for us all - here, June is such a time of long summer days - I'm longing for them at the moment! The 'be my Valentine' part was my favourite when I was a schoolgirl. I remember a Valentine card I got when I was 17 and I still don't know who it was from - it drove me mad! But now, my other half and I don't celebrate it at all, in fact I'm on my own this evening :)

It's interesting how these traditions are different around the world :D Glad to hear it all involves chocolate though!

Monica said...

Monica, como você está? Tudo bem com você e sua família?

Monica said...

Sorry, Wet Dark.
Monica, how are you? All well with you and your family?

Wet Dark and Wild said...

No worries, Monica *) Thanks for the translation.

Hi Monica...I'm alright thanks for asking. Just "juntando os caquinhos" after my father's death and all. But you know...I'm a grown up Mom of two, married to another child (LOL! My fault!), so I got to be strong, which I am no matter what. I'll survive.
Actually, I will survive A LOT based on the life line on my palm. LOL!

Sometimes I wish you all could read my blog, so that you could know who I really am, what I really think, but it's in Portuguese. :(
Monica is the only one who can, I guess.
You'd know a lot more about the "Other Monica Other". ;)

Good night, girls.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hey Monica, thanks so much for sharing, and I'm very glad to hear you're doing ok :D Chuckling at the thought of being married to another child! Have a lovely day :)
