In person, Jemaine is ...

Hmm...so there's one of these for Bret, and now there's one for Jemaine. ;<br />D

Needed a thread like this to post the following:

[size=100:mz7v1viv]... TVGuide.com: What did you think of Jemaine's Garfunkel impression?
Garfunkel: Well, I thought he was very good. I was very amused by his style. There's something very quirky and charming, and there is something teddy bear-ish in a secret way. I thought he had my hair down really good. Thanks to Karen's help there in the bedroom scene, I recognized my own profile, but the rest is Jemaine doing Jemaine's thing.

TVGuide.com: So is he all business on the set?
Garfunkel: He's, like, a wonderful workaholic. He's like artists are when they're very engaged. He's charming enough, but he's somewhat in character in his deadpan way, so he can't really talk to me as one member of a duo to another member of a famous duo. Maybe he'd like to go there, but it's not in character. So I didn't really hang with him. I just met him on the set at work. ...

I thought Jemaine said he himself was a lazy person. . a lazy workaholic? Fascinating. <img src=

hmmm....
maybe it's because the most workaholic of people tend to see themselves as lazy... because their work is never done/good enough... therefore it must be due to a fault in their personality, i.e. they're lazy...

and i think part of the wishful thinking that goes along with a workaholic personality is to long to *actually* be lazy, and indulge in doing absolutely nothing... no strings attached.

*ahem* not that i would know such things based on personal experience, or anything...

_{... not}

Maybe it just takes him awhile to get moving but once he is working he becomes a workaholic.

That's how I am. I love sleeping, I hate getting up, I hate getting ready for work and I hate going to work but once I'm at work I work my ass off and put in overtime whenever needed. Smile

I get the sense that Jemaine's a bit of a perfectionist...judging from his reactions when they've had technical troubles at gigs or if he messes up the lines of a song. I don't consider myself a workaholic either (quite the opposite actually), but I'm never happy with something until I feel it's done the right way. I think it's a safe bet that Jemaine has some of the same qualities.

And I LOVE guys that are like snuggly teddy bears. This is not helping my silly schoolgirl crush. [image]

Yes. There is something to be said for a "
workaholic"
personality and how they actually view themselves. Sitting still, at any point = laziness in their eyes. I totally agree. I think Jemaine and I were siblings separated at birth. The more I learn about him, the more I think, "
Maybe I should ask my parents if I was adopted. "

*cough*

ADD: I only interrupt my workaholic tendencies to interact with people. Then I'm right back to being a workaholic freak. Sleep makes me feel guilty.

I wanna look at dinosaurs with Jem [image]

and I also would like to cuddle with him, just to see if he is really like a teddy bear, which Im sure he is [image]

....longtime lurker crawling out of the woodwork, here 8-)

Glad you liked it Amily! I was afraid to post it because I kind of felt like I was encroaching on someone elses meet and greet, but I was next in line and it was so sweet the way Jemaine was strumming her ukelele almost the whole time they were talking, I just had to get a few seconds of it and what better day to post it than on Jemaine's B-day
