Welcome to Reality: Teaser

I thought it would be fun and an inspiration for me to make a teaser in my preperation for re-editting. Also, i wanted to give readers another *present* after the epilogue for the story.
So i present to you the Teaser of "Welcome to Reality" made mainly for those who have read the story.
Stars include Chace Crawford and Katie Holmes (although i don't think she quite makes the cut for a Jeanne, but i liked the dancing scene in First Daughter) and the song is from the story soundtrack: Faraway, chosen because it encompasses the deep feelings between Jeanne and Justin - first because of their seperation due to emotions and then something more (i won't spoil it for those who haven't read it yet!)

It's All in the Name (freakishly)

I was doing a name search (as i do =P) and found a lovely site which combines the last and first name and describes the person. Seeing as it was *partially* accurate with mine, i did a search of the characters and was shocked to see how true it was for even my CHARACTERS!!

Here's the stuff if you're interested:

Sarahjeanne Cockad
3 Things You Didn't Know:
1. Your personal power animal is the Nine-banded Armadillo
2. Your 'Numerology' number is 7. If it wasn't bulls**t, it would mean that you are spiritual, eccentric, and a bit of a loner. Introspective and analytical, you think deeply and preferseclusion.
3. According to the US Census Bureau°, fewer than 0.001% of US residents have the first name 'Sarahjeanne' and fewer than 0.001% have the surname 'Cockad'. The US has around 300 million residents, so we guesstimate there are 0 'Sarahjeanne Cockad's.

Justin King
3 Things You Didn't Know:
1. Your personal power animal is the Domestic Ferret
2. Your 'Numerology' number is 8. If it wasn't bulls**t, it would mean that you are motivated by material success and have an aptitude for business, managerial and financial matters. This comes through your uncommon discipline and persistence.
3. According to the US Census Bureau°, 0.313% of US residents have the first name 'Justin' and 0.1813% have the surname 'King'. The US has around 300 million residents, so we guesstimate there are 1,702 'Justin King's.

Jane Daniels
3 Things You Didn't Know:
1. Your personal power animal is the Cane Toad
2. Your 'Numerology' number is 4. If it wasn't bulls**t, it would mean that you are practical, tenacious, traditional, and serious. You are well organised and have a strong work ethic.
4. According to the US Census Bureau°, 0.25% of US residents have the first name 'Jane' and 0.0573% have the surname 'Daniels'. The US has around 300 million residents, so we guesstimate there are 430 'Jane Daniels's.

...that is so not Jane...but oh well...

Jacob Roland
3 Things You Didn't Know:
1. Your personal power animal is the Pygmy Three-toed Sloth
2. Your 'Numerology' number is 5. If it wasn't bulls**t, it would mean that you are adventurous, mercurial, and sensual. You seek growth through adventure and different life experiences. Although you are a critical thinker, you can sometimes over-ponder an issue.
3. According to the US Census Bureau°, 0.165% of US residents have the first name 'Jacob' and 0.0077% have the surname 'Roland'. The US has around 300 million residents, so we guesstimate there are 38 'Jacob Roland's.

Zach

I can't find an actor who looks like zach! Been searching for awhile now. =(

Please tell me if you come across any actor who looks the part:
Zachary Taylor-
height: 6 ft 2
hair: dark-brown/black, clean-cut but longish
eyes: blue
Face is strong, tanned and oval but not sharp. Has strong features and is overall handsome.

I'll still be looking, but please let me know if you have a good picture. At first, i liked Ian Somerhalder but i figured he looks too old for a nineteen year-old.

Aunt Nancy Roland

Aunt Nancy is the loving aunt who's always there for Jeanne, being the perfect mum and always knowing what's up with her children. She's young, beautiful and, despite having SEVEN children, still looks gorgeous! She's a perfect example of what a mother and aunt she be - caring, loving and delighted with who she is.

Sharing the same dark brown hair in the family, she is slim and beautiful - a good thing Jeanne has taken some of her genes!

Disclaimer: This is the actress Sandra Bullock, who i think makes a perfect Nancy Roland. As previous, please not that she is not EXACTLY what Aunt Nancy would look like, but a very close resemblance.

Jeanne's Roses

A bunch of roses - a symbol of love and...more? Whenever we get a bunch of roses from a guy, there's this feeling of elation at the fact that someone loves us that much to buy us a bunch of beautiful, red roses. But what happens when these roses were given for a different purpose all-together? It could be the most beautiful and painful gift Jeanne has ever been given.

Courtney Denton

She's tall, slim, beautiful and always wears your tight, fashionable outfits whilst laughing at whatever Jeanne has to wear that day. She's also your typical Miss Popular, following in her boyfriend, Luke Hawkins, as being Second in the Jeanne Hater's Club in Huntsmen's High. She always has a sarcastic word to say whilst shielded behind her hunk of a boyfriend's back. Courtney Denton knows she's pretty, and she flaunts it.



Blonde hair that is naturally straight but can be curled, big yet usually mean-looking eyes and a demeanor that is targetted at Jeanne as being catty. We hardly know Courtney except for her 'plastic' outerior...but she could be a very different person on the inside...
Disclaimer:: This is a picture of Yvonne Strzechowski who looks similar as what Courtney would look like. I like her because she looks like she can be oh, so villainous yet, at the same time, if she were to smile, she would be one of those real, true beautys. As previous, she is not the EXACT clone of Courtney and what she would look like.

The Lake

So many scenes of Jeanne and Justin meeting at the Lake, i feel the Lake HAS to be recognised on this blog too. The place where most of the romance happens and where Jeanne sings and has picnics with her cousins as well as Jeanne's claimed place of solitude. The Lake is a constant recurrance and one of Jeanne's favourite places in Huntsmen's Valley.

Disclaimer: This is really a picture of Golden Trout Lake in Oregon and, minus the snow-capped mountains (as it's Autumn at the moment of the story!), this is the perfect lake (as it's also on a ranch, which is similar to a farm!)

Jake Roland

He's Jeanne oldest, cute twelve year-old cousin who's the maturest, toughest and yet the most open with Jeanne, protecting her like would an older brother yet hugging her and tell her how much he cares like a younger brother would (in his most emotional times, at least!). Jake is one of my favourite characters (but no bias there!) and one of the sweetest who shows that family IS so, very important.

Like the rest of his family, he has dark hair, green eyes and a handsome face which we know will grow into a real hottie when he grows older. Right now, he's cute, pinchable and very sweet-looking. Enjoy it while it lasts!

Disclaimer: This is the actor Graham Phillips (I) and who looks very, VERY much like what i think Jake should look like. If there were ever a movie, i would so choose him! But, as other charcters, he's not Jake's replica but more a VERY close example.

Jane Daniels

Jeanne's best friend and cutie who battled through the mire of social boundaries and stuck with her. Jane Daniels (whose surname has so far not been mentioned) also is the girl who falls head-over-heels in love with hottie, Justin.
Tall and slim with a beautiful smile, large eyes and curls of blonde hair, Jane is what everyone calls a true beauty.

Disclaimer: This is the picture of the actress Alyson Michalka who i think would make a great Jane. But please note, as the others, that this is only what Jane closest looks like and not a clone of her.

Luke Hawkins

Meet the jock and the number one person in the Jeanne haters base. He's popular, the rugby captain as well as school captain and is known to everyone to be hot.

A head of longish, blondie hair, similar to Justin King, is easy for Jeanne to immediately think that Justin is just a clone of Luke Hawkins, can't you see?

Disclaimer: The actor here is Erik Von Detten who played an excellent roll as the jerk in 'Princess Diaries' and has the face to go along with it, being hot and yet having a cunning tinge. Note, though, that although similar to what Luke would look like, Erik was the closest possible face i could find but not THE person Luke would look like.

Justin's BMW 325i

What Justin declares to be his "first child" is his racey silver BMW 3-series convertible 325i. With a leather interior and driving with the hood usually down, driving down the long roads of Huntsmen's Valley is made a lot easier.



Justin King

This first post is a dedication to none other than the Prince Charming of the story, Justin King.


Head topped with short and later longish blonde hair with streaks of brown and face lightly tanned. His lips are full and jaws strong, displaying his strength of both character and spirit.
The most prominent of Justin's attributes, though, are his eyes. Blue-grey, they always seem to stare straight into Jeanne's soul, scaring her yet remarkably allowing her to see what he was up to.
Disclaimer: This is the face of Chace Crawford and would be THE actor if the story were a movie. Note, though, that Justin King is not a clone of someone else but is his own personal, holding similar traits to Chace but not being exactly a look-a-like.
