Random musings of a word junkie

Language is my mistress. Occasionally, she's my bitch, too. My name is Jen; I was born in the same year as Dean Winchester; and this is my blog. I accept writing prompts for any of the fandoms you see pop up on here, so help a slacker writer out. Don't be afraid to send me a message - the only time I enjoy talking to people is over the internet. (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){ (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o), m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m) })(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga'); ga('create', 'UA-42621593-1', 'tumblr.com'); ga('send', 'pageview');

Well, I do believe I’m back...  I’m going to try and check in at least once a day for messages, but as I haven’t seen any of season 10 of SPN, I’m not going to be checking posts here on Spoiler Central until I’ve caught up.  So if ya want me, message me, and/or give me a specific tag to search.  =)

Crows are scary They

  • use tools
  • Can be taught to speak (like parrots)
  • Have huge brains for birds
  • like seriously their brain-to-body size ratio is equal to that of a chimpanzee
  • They vocalize anger, sadness, or happiness in response to things
  • they are scary smart at solving puzzles
  • some ravens stay with their mates until one of them dies
  • they can remember faces
  • SIDENOTE HERE BECAUSE HOLY SHIT.  They did an experiment where these guys wore masks and some of them fucked with crows.  Pretty soon the crows recognized the masks = douchebag.  But the nice guys with masks they left alone.  THEN, OH WE’RE NOT DONE, NO SIR crows that WEREN’T EVEN IN THE EXPERIMENT AND NEVER SAW THE MASK BEFORE knew about mask-dudes and attacked them on sight.  THEY PASSED ON THE FUCKING INFORMATION TO THEIR CROW BUDDIES.
  • They remember places where crows were killed by farmers and change their migration patterns.

Guys I’m really scared of crows now. (q

Yeah but have you seen this 

YEAH! THEY ALSO PLAY FOR NO EVIDENT REASON OTHER THAN FUN AND THEY LOVE THE SNOW! Crows are seriously the coolest birbs ever.

Oh dear gods.  I've just had a stunning realisation.  My preferred style of dress was informed by Sheriff Lucas Buck.  I was watching American Gothic at just the right age to want to dress like my hero at the time - and it bloody stuck.  Long sleeved shirt, waistcoat, slacks, boots, three quarter length coat...  Even the friggin' pocket watch.  The only difference is that I prefer suspenders to belts, and of course I look much less handsome and quite a bit more busty than Gary Cole...

Once you get this you have to say five things you like about yourself publicly then send this to ten of your favorite followers! (This is non negotiable) do it! - i-believe-in-melinda-may

Non-negotiable..?  Holy hells, you really do know how to make my life difficult, don't you..?  Five things I like about myself?

1.  I'm speedily sarcastic.  It helps me end a lot of arguments; even if it's with a grumpy sigh and a retreating back on the part of the other person.

2.  I have a... certain facility with the written word.  I don't know if you've noticed this or not; I'm just putting it out there.

3.  Uh...  I know how to be quiet, and, more importantly, when.

4.  Crap.  Um.  I'm not dead yet..?  I don't know if this is something I like about myself though.

5.  Er...  I came up with at least three things..?

Subway? No, this is Domway, where we ask you what things you like on your sandwich, what you don’t want, and what you’re thinking of trying and then help you come up with a combo that makes you happy.  If you want to feel the pain of jalapenos burning your mouth as you eat, we will take joy in making that happen and watching you squirm and reach for youe drink over and over. If you would simply like some comfort food in the form of some tuna salad, we’ll make that happen. And if you want to be told how we’re gonna make your sandwich instead of being asked about it, you’re still free to stop us at any time, because this is still your sandwich.  Domway: No CreepyDoms allowed. Eat fresh.

I think it's time for my annual Babylon 5 marathon.  I'm missing a copy of The Gathering though, so it's going to be an incomplete watch this year.  Ah well; such is life.

Top 5 B5?

So, I’m really curious about everyone’s top five B5 universe characters. If you had to pick your five absolute favorite characters in the Babylon 5 universe (this includes spin-offs and extended universe), who would they be and why? :)

ivanova, delenn, franklin, lyta and galen

Galen and Ivanova are tightly ranked together, but since Galen is a sassy mage who said a great big 'fuck you' to the rules, he gets first place (sorry Ivanova; you still rock though [shall we recite the B5 mantra..?]).  G'Kar comes in third (his story arc is one of the most fascinating in the series IMHO), closely followed by the other sassy bastard Marcus Cole ('I've always said you can get more with a kind word and a two-by-four"), with Vir ("Abrahamo Linconi..?!") rounding out the top five.  Honorable mentions go to Galen's lady love Isobel, Captain Gideon of the Excalibur and Max Eilerson.
