Massive Anniversary Post/Merit Badge Ceremony

O to the M to the G.  ISJ is 4 weeks old today!

That's right, Jake.  FOUR!

To celebrate (and to catch up, since this Jake guy has been keeping us so busy lately) we have quite a backlog of merit badges to get through today.  So let's get started, shall we?

First up, I would like to award two badges to our resident overachiever randomhero2006!  Pretty much everything she does is merit badge worthy, so I'm having to be somewhat discriminatory in what I dole out to her lest she no longer be able to hold her head up because of the weight of the badges on her collar.  But I couldn't not reward her for identifying Jake's car or for sending really crappy Sex and the City 2 reviews to all of her friends and convincing them to see Prince of Persia on opening weekend instead.

So randomhero2006, I give to you The Badge For Successfully Identifying What Type of Car Jake Drives and The Badge for Sabotaging Sex & The City 2's Box Office Intake.  Well done!

Next up, we have gyllenhaalisgr8 who, in addition to upstaging my own artistic output with her frequent twitpic updates, made a freaking awesome Donnie Darko costume (complete with Smurf!): 

Apparently she did this a while ago, but it's new to me, so gyllenhaalisgr8, congratulations on earning The Badge For Hand-Crafting A Freaking Awesome Donnie Darko Costume!

Now on to S4M985, who, as an anonymous commenter rightly pointed out, deserves a badge for her assessment of Jake's questionable choice to tuck a towel into his shorts in the previous post.  Upon reading back through the comments, I noticed that S4M985 is always making astute comments about what Jake's wearing. So Sam, I award you The Badge For Spotting Subtle Nuances in Jake's Wardrobe.  Thank you for your service!

Next we have a category in which I tried to keep a comprehensive list of recipients, but if I have missed you, please let me know by leaving me a scathing comment after this post.  The highly coveted Badge For Looking Up Jake News When PG Was Too Distracted to Do So goes out to a lovely and amazing group today:  Silver, JAMEY311, jbhoneebee, Trijs, Olympia, sumi k, and TheHappyDogBlog!

Thank you so much!  I really do rely on tips from readers to keep up with everything, because it takes so much time out of my day to create merit badges, and sometimes I even have to break away from the internet for meals.  (Seriously, I genuinely don't know what I would do if I didn't get tips.)

And now I would like to hand out perhaps the most important badge of all:  The Badge For Commenting on I'm Stalking Jake!  I know that for some it's strange for me to be back after such a long absence...and others of you don't know me yet and are probably still trying to figure out why I'm so weird.  So I would like to extend my gratitude to all of you for taking the time to read what I write.  I appreciate each and every visitor and I wish us all many, many more fun 4-week intervals in the future.  If you've commented, grab yourself a badge!  (You can grab one if you haven't commented as well, 'cause if you've read this far into this post, you deserve a reward anyway.)

And the LAST badge of the day goes to a very special member of the human race, a man by the name of Jake Gyllenhaal.  Jake, I am awarding you this the most coveted of awards:  The Badge For Whoring Yourself Out to the Public So I Have Something To Write About.

While it must be annoying for you to answer the same five questions every time you promote a movie, you had to answer those five questions many more times than usual while you promoted Prince of Persia.  So, on behalf of your entire fanbase, thank you for putting up with that for the sole purpose of our general enjoyment.  Wear it well, Jake!

And that's all for now!  I must retire for the evening and rest my wrists because after making all of those, I now have carpal tunnel syndrome. 

(If I missed anyone, please let me know.  I tried to catch everything, but I'm pretty sure I missed a badge for Alec Ramsey.  I can't for the life of me remember what it was, and now I haven't seen her in forever. :(  Don't be mad at me, Alec Ramsey!)
