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.

He played a nerdy priest? For serious. Dude!

Also, my grandfather drove a Pinto. Word association makes this portmanteau scary. D:

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Also, thank you. Gods he's hot. The glasses are just... *sighs*

"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.

The sweater! I love the sweater more than life! ALSO, SHOWER WHAT WHAT.

[chicklet-girl.livejournal.com]

Seconded! Oof.

Just for comparison's sake (see icon) - I don't think they look anything alike, either, but I had forgotten how pretty Brad was when he was a boy!

DO NOT BE TALKING ABOUT THE BLASPHEMY THAT IS BRAD PITT IN MY LJ. [/Ari)

But thank you for the lovely photos, b/c who knew a man could look that hot in a cardigan?

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

*peers*

Is that...Nate?

[redheadaholic.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes it is. When I see pictures of the RL Nate all conservatively professionally dressed in his suits and ties, I think of this picture (and those arms! and shoulders! and chest!) and it makes me happy.

OMG cardigan, glasses, you're killing me.
