IT'S REX MANNING DAY!!

[hackthis_archive]

So. Today is what day? SOUTHLAND DAY!! And how do we celebrate Southland day?

1) chicklet_girl wrote wee!Cooper in 'Army Men. You want to read it. Prepare to have your heart broken.

b) Apparently Eminem's Relapse is due to drop any goddamn day. I know one of you has it. Share with the class. Sharing is caring. And maybe worth a drabble of your chosing.

c. A small hint at my 'Why I Love John Cooper' manifesto as told to antheia

I dunno. There's this *thing* about him: he's just so resolutely strong and manly, without being an asshole – okay, he kind of is, but you know why he is the way he is, and it makes *sense*. He's honest without being placating, and he's not pretty, or even attractive to be honest, but the way he carries himself is like... it's *perfect*. He's confident without being arrogant. He's kind of broken, but not irreparably so. He's smart, but he's clearly earned his smarts, and he's so very real. You feel like he could protect you if shit went wrong, but at the end of the day you could look after him and it would all be okay. And who doesn't want that?

4. I find myself pretty much unable to do the Star Trek fandom thing. I love the new movie. Love the acting. Love the actors. But no, not quite fannish. I thought perhaps this was because what I *really* wanted to do was write Zack Quinto/Chris Pine RPS (which is called 'Pinto,' which as sparky77 pointed out is a car and not a pairing) but it would seem that all I REALLY want to do is stare at Chris Pine all day. BRING ME YOUR CHRIS PINE PHOTOS. I COMPEL YOU! (For [redacted reasons], I need the diversion). ETA: HE DOES NOT LOOK LIKE BRAD PITT, serialkarma! That's sacriledge.

f) Once upon a time there was a fantabulous show called Kitchen Confidential, which FOX killed (shocking. I'm still mad about Fastlane bitches!). It had a young man named Owain Yeoman in it. Using his proper Welsh accent. Owain went on to be in what? GENERATION KILL! Yeah, that's right, it's always about GK or Southland at this point. Anyroad. Owain has now got a role on The Mentalist (which I don't watch, because I consider it a Psych rip-off). HOWEVER. Owain has evolved and apparently now looks like this . Uhhhhhhhhhhh. I'd hit that. Thanks to maurheti and alethialia for the link

You want to read it. Prepare to have your heart broken.

*flails* Seriously, I am dying.

I read it during an event I was at last night (obviously I was not paying attention to the event), and my heart just, oh, John. As for the manifesto... DUDE. I could wax rhapsodic about him all damn day long. Oh, wait, I already do, don't I?

I'm only semi-ashamed to admit my wearing-his-chunky-I.D.-bracelet-because-we're-going-steady fantasy.


That's my bracelet, give it back!

Sigh. I'm gonna end up netflixing Princess Diaries 2, aren't I? My life, it is tragic.

You don't want me to start telling you the bad movies I've endured just because he's so adorable. Frankly, based on his reel I have NO IDEA how he managed to be seen to even become Kirk.

I remember that movie! That movie was the one about wine making that had Alan Rickman! It was supposedly set in 1979. I couldn't watch more than five minutes. I tried. It was called... Bottle Shock. God, my recall is scary.

c) I could talk about him all damn day. But I already do, so...

f) You did not know? Oh, BABY. You are missing the hell out. KC was comedy GOLD. It was tiny fandom, but man did we have fun writing it.

Your icon makes me happy.

[redheadaholic.livejournal.com]

Makes offending picture disappear. Offers pretty RL Marine icon as recompense.

*glares*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You are very welcome, I am sorry your day is sucktastic.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Look at the fluffy hair! And he's wearing a suit. I always like men in nice suits.

[ruidoso.livejournal.com]

i would subscribe to a podcast of you talking about him all day, fyi.

NO I DID NOT. once i have devoured the entire season, i will come a-stalking your journal (memories? tags?) for the fic hookup.

here, have another. :)

[lazulus]

I love the one of him in the pale blue suit!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

It's very 1950's isn't it? There is a slightly bobble head effect though.

[lazulus]

It is indeed very 1950s. I am not sure what a bobble head effect is though!

But men in nice suits. Yumola.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

The bobble-head effect is generally when a celebrity loses so much weight that their body seems dispropotionate to their head, and thusly they look like a bobble head, which is this (http://www.bobbleheads.com/).

I see no resemblance to Brad Pitt. At some angles, I get hotter Matt Damon, and at other angles, he does nothing for me, but yeah, no Brad Pitt.

(In other news, I never found Zach Quinto attractive, but I'm ALL OVER Spock. DAMN.)

NO I DID NOT. once i have devoured the entire season, i will come a-stalking your journal (memories? tags?) for the fic hookup.

There was a comm greg_the_fish. Whatever was written could probably be found there. I know rageprufrock and nifra_idril both wrong fantastic stories, if only because the three of us couldn't stop harassing each other to write it.

[lazulus]

Oh! I see. Ta, lovely. :)

[ruidoso.livejournal.com]

muchas gracias for the hookup! :D

"Crotchety Puerto Rican men in giant unsafe vehicles?

Hee. Now I've got a picture of my stepdad and his Buick stuck in my head.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

De nada.

[shaney.livejournal.com]

You don't know me, but damnnn that second picture. *stares and stares and stares*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

At some angles, I get hotter Matt Damon, and at other angles, he does nothing for me, but yeah, no Brad Pitt.

The hands, man. The hands and the mouth. And all the suits. I do like me a man in a nice suit.

When I first saw Michael Cudlitz on Life, I thought he looked like an older, stockier Eric Murphy.
