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 I write because I love it, just like any other author, published or not, my being unpublished does not make me a lesser individual.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.
