Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles 2.5

Sarah on a mountain. Left behind with Cameron, the women who are already warriors. The boys are going out into the woods to bond, to run with wolves and become men. John needs to become a soldier. It's going to happen sooner or later. Watching Sarah negotiate the necessities of the timeline against her son's childhood is proving fascinating. Last season it was all about John holding on to his childhood, demanding, in the way of all children, that his mother put him first. In John's case, he wants to come first before the human race, to be protected against the vagaries of the life that he is dreaming.

( Goodbye to All That )

In other news, I have completely given up on Heroes. I'm lost. I don't get the retcon. I don't WANT to get the retcon.

In additional news, I love how the guys jump into each others arms after a touchdown. I mean, full on, Hooray jumps and they expect the other guy to catch them. And they always do. Teams! I love you, man!

5 Things for tkp

Babe! This was harder than I thought it would be. I like the subjects you chose, however. But I had to THINK about it.

5 fandoms
1. Buffy the Vampire Slayer -- Yes, this will always and forever be my number one fandom. It's what got me *into* fandom in the first place. I mean, really interested in the fannish exchange of ideas about a source/canonical text.
2. Angel -- Because for me it really isn't possible to separate Angel from Buffy. ;)
3. Farscape is where I learned to be intimidated by the amazing talent and minds that fandom brought to my experience and understanding of television and media. And nothing really gets as dark as Farscape.
4. Firefly
5. Roswell because everyone's got that one sappy, semi-embarrassing back of the closet fandom. Roswell is mine.

5 Anti-heroes
Dude!! This was SO DAYUM difficult.
1. Raistlin Majere from the Dragonlance books. Raistlin broke my heart back in the day when I was still young and sweet. He was mad, bad and dangerous! Raistlin is where I REALLY discovered my adoration of the anti-hero. The guy who is so much more than just bad.
2. Jared -- Labyrinth. Yeah, I know David Bowie in a codpiece and fairy hair.
3. Faith -- BtVS. You didn't think she'd NOT make it onto the list, did you? Cause Faith always was made of awesome and always makes my girlcrush list.
4. Riddick, Richard B. -- Mostly Pitch Black because The Chronicles of Riddick was SO commercial. But Pitch Black ... with the voice and the eyes and every man for himself, I will kill you attitude!
5. Leon -- The Professional. I almost didn't want to include him, but let's face it. For all that he has plants and drinks milk, Leon is a Professional Hitman.

And an honorable mention for Farscape's Scorpius. Also a special, super, uber honorable mention for Milton's Satan/Lucifer in Paradise Lost

5 Non-Fictional Inspirational Women
1. My mom -- Even though it's cheesy to say so. She raised six kids on her own and for the first half of my life we lived in the Hood. Watts hood, South Central hood. She worked her ass off to move us into the suburbs and to give us a chance. Everyone graduated high school. Two of us went to college. I have an advanced degree and Pigskin is now in Dental School. No one was in gangs, on drugs, had kids, or in jail. We were good kids.
2. Katherine Hepburn because she did it her way and on her own terms.
3. Bette Davis because she's another maverick who did things the way that she wanted to do them.
4. Carolyn Dinshaw -- Professor at NYU, she practically invented gender-queer studies as they relate to medieval and Chaucerian studies. Fantastically and scarily intelligent, I wish that I could have her brain.
5. I got nothing ...

5 Words in the English Language
I wasn't sure how to qualify this category, so I chose words that I love to say.
1. putrid
2. luscious
3. shenanigans
4. fuck -- I know, I know. I still love it, though.
5. crimson

5 Outfits I Own
1. Purple cotton mini-dress with the square neckline. I wear it with these adorable uber flat black flip-flops with a round shell decorating the top of the thong between the toes.
2. White lace/eyelet tube top (that I got for 6.99 at Ross that one time for Fourth of July) paired with dark wash jeans and tall platform shoes. Makes my legs look miles long and gives me height, yo!
3. Electric Blue Charlotte Russe tube dress that NO LONGER FITS DAMNIT!! paired with these gold amazon platform wedges.
4. Brown and Orange empire waisted dress with brown peep-toe heels decorated with buckles at the toe.
5. Gray, knee length pencil skirt with my orange sleeveless shell and gray, faux snake skin Joey stilettos. My curves kick ass in this outfit, plus hello legs!

5 Cocktails
1. Palomas
2. Margarita on the rocks with salt
3. Captain Morgan and Coke (not Pepsi, Coca-Cola)
4. Tuaca Bombs (specifically, despite what you may be offered, a shot of Tuaca dropped into a half pint of Rockstar)
5. Grey Goose and Soda with a splash of Squirt and a lime
