i even had the biggest dream and i even got it half achieved

So... I am posting a Chris Pine picspam. This should surprise no one.



Hi, I am Chris Pine and I am going to dazzle the shit out of you.

Chris Pine is basically my favorite person I've never met right now. You may have seen/avoided him in roles such as Just My Luck, The Princess Diaries 2, and Blind Dating. He just recently starred in Star Trek, as CAPTAIN JAMES TIBERIUS MOTHERFUCKING KIRK. Um. Yeah. I really didn't care about this guy two weeks ago, and now all I've been doing is have really long conversations with anythingbutgrey about... every single thing he's done.

So, when he got cast as Kirk for ST, he wrote William Shatner a letter because there was ~acrimony~ (his words, not mine. I KNOW, RIGHT? I will elaborate on this further) about Shatner turning down a cameo. I was like, 'Look, I'm an actor and I got this role that you originated, but I'm not trying to usurp your status as the original Kirk. I'm just trying to do my part to further it.' He was very polite and wrote back, 'I wish you all the luck in the world. Best, Bill.' I have it up on my refrigerator but now I'm thinking maybe I should frame it.

ADORABLE, RIGHT? This is even more cuter:



HIS SMILE, OH MY GOD. LOOK AT HIS EYES. They're all squinty and he's enjoying himself so much because all of a sudden, his life just got AMAZING. I would be doing the same thing, too.

(also, ALL OF THESE BOYS. I wish Anton and Simon were in this picture, so it'd be complete. Also, Zoe is pretty badass as well, she should be in it, too.)



That flannel shirt in the first picture is actually his own shirt (a candid picture with the same shirt will come up later). Apparently it's his favorite. The second GQ picture of him jumping just encompasses EVERYTHING I FEEL ABOUT HIM. He makes me happy and he makes me want to jump with joy. I find myself randomly smiling at inopportune moments because of this guy.

I like how Zach remains all srs bizniz (maybe he's adapting Dwight's theory of "showing teeth is a sign of submission among primates"), but Chris always cracks. HE LOOKS SO HAPPY ALL OF THE TIME. Everything just seems to amuse him and he's so laid-back.



The boy can dress. VERY NICELY. Barney Stinson needs to recruit him as a bro because Chris Pine can suit up. But he also has good taste in everyday wear too:



Chris is running errands, remains sexy while doing so. I mean, really. The flannel shirt (continuity!), v-necks, an Enterprise shirt = YES PLEASE.

In the last picture he has a pen in his mouth, whatever, let's please pay attention to the fact that he has a BROWN BAG. IS HE SERIOUSLY BRINGING HIS OWN LUNCH? GODDAMNIT THAT'S HOT. I WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS WHAT'S IN THERE IN MORE DETAIL.



This happens on a FREQUENT BASIS. No really, who else does this? This is why he's called Chris Fine, folks. I chose well. (though I do feel bad posting these because Chris looks irritated/confused at the paps. SIGH, MORALS.)



THE POINT OF NO RETURN. Why: he has these cute hipster glasses, wears skinny jeans which I don't really like on guys ever but it showcases his cute butt, and the v-neck's a given. And most importantly, he's reading The New York Times.

Chris P's a huge dork. He admits to spending more time doing schoolwork than partying in college. That college happened to be UC Berkeley, where he got an English degree. This gets me really emotionally compromised.

No, seriously. He speaks so eloquently, and knows what the fuck he's talking about. This quote maaaay have changed my life a little:
"I think the most dangerous word in the English language is should. I should have done this. Or I should do that. Should implies responsibility. It connotes demand. Which is just not the case. Life ebbs and flows." - Chris Pine on his decision to do Star Trek instead of another movie in Men's Health magazine

UM, CUTE HOLLYWOOD ACTORS LIKE HIM CAN'T SAY SHIT LIKE THAT. Sorry, I'm not used to attractive people saying intelligent, thought-provoking things.

Also, English wasn't even his first choice. He actually wanted to go into sports -- he tells the cutest story in that Letterman interview. Um, how weird would that be. I might've actually got some work done instead of making this picspam had he chosen sports. Oh, life choices.



SPEAKING OF SPORTS: OMG, JASON BATEMAN AND CHRIS AT A BASKETBALL GAME. I don't know if they went together or if they just happened to sit next to each other, but that is so great. Jason is making him laugh!

Chris has another important guy friend in his life, Zachary Quinto. They have the same physical trainer and knew each other before Star Trek at a party (three days before Chris was going to audition for Star Trek. Zach was already ~well-cast~ as he likes to say). They like to do a lot of things. Like living in the same town. Or exercising together:



Or laughing at each other in interviews:

Or letting their hands linger a little too close and putting their arms around each other like boyfriends:


Aaaand that's not even covering everything in regards to Chris and Zach, but that'd be another picspam in itself. BASICALLY: THEY'RE AWESOME.



THIS IS AWESOME TOO.

But um, I am ridiculously proud of this man. What was a simple crush a week ago has now manifested into something way bigger. I can't really put it into words. Or maybe that word is obsession. IDK. He's so humble and smart and happy; he can just be himself and it does such crazy things to me. Actors don't normally have this effect on me. I have phases and enjoy them for a little bit, but I might actually be ~settling down~.

In conclusion, he's apparently single and on the prowl. His one requirement: "a fine intelligent" woman. So yeah, you all can get in line.

Pictures from Chris Pine Network. Elyssa was my enabler, which may be happening on a constant basis from now on.
