Maybe I'm just feeling particularly challenged today, but if I'm trying to renew my LJ account because it's expiring (as the numerous e-mail reminders have told me), and it won't accept my credit card because of an error, uh, how the fuck am I supposed to renew my account?

I saw the movie trailer for Jarhead* (Jake Gyllenhaal as a Marine in Desert Storm) and oh, my fucking god. Yeah, that's an opening night special there. That and the Chronicles of Narnia. And that movie with that scar-headed kid, too.

* Did I mention that the tagline for this is 'Welcome to the Suck'? They just *want* me to be rabid; I can see it already.

[sekrit to nifra_idril]: See it! Garrett Hedlund is the most adorablest punk wanna be ever! Plus, nekkid bits! Phwoar! [/sekrit out]

Also, everyone really has to see Prison Break because Wentworth Miller Blaise is the hottest thing evar! Oh, I am so good with the casting.

ETA: I could rant on the whole published authors slagging off fanfiction authors for not being published, or their implying that fanfiction authors don't have the abilty to get published, but frankly I don't have the patience to wade through that much stupidity, especially considering all the fanfiction authors who are published authors, so I'll simply say this:

I don't want to be published; I don't feel the need or the desire.

I am not jealous of people who are published.

I am not suffering from some latent worry that I'm not good enough. I don't need my name in lights or on some book index. That's not my goal in life. I write because I love it, just like any other author, published or not, my being unpublished does not make me a lesser individual. Live Journal gives me a venue to display my writing, an interested audience, and access to subject matter I enjoy. Why would I ever want to create more stress with deadlines and editors, and Merlin only knows what else?

Yeah, thanks but no.

I understand that upon first glance Jake may not seem like Teh Hotness, that's because he's not. He's the dork. And then he's all bumbling and fumbling, but strangely capable hotness. It sneaks up on you.
