all about me because I'm really bored

another snurched meme, this one from direwolfdragon.  Because I'm bored and trying to relax despite the mess around me like the therapist told me.

What is your name? full name is Jennifer Nicole but I've gone by Jen for most of my adult life

Are you named after anyone?  nope, they were just the 2 names my parents liked best.  They had no idea Jennifer was sucha popular name in the late 70s.  Guess they didn't have any friends with kids, lol.

Would you name a child of yours after you? we considered using Nicole as a middle name for our oldest.  We were going to name her Kiley Nicole but I changed my mind a couple week before she was born so we ended up with Meagan Greer instead.

If you were born a member of the opposite sex what would your name be? I forget...my parents had a list of boys names for me

If you could switch names with a friend who would it be? I kind of like my name.  Sure it was annoying growing up with at least one other Jen/Jenny/Jennifer in every class but now I consider it kind of a fun club that we all belong to.  When you mention your name is Jen to another Jen you get a knowing look from them--they instantly understand what that has meant your entire life.  That's why my screen name most places is "justanotherjen" (came up with that after I made up my livejournal).

Shipper Manifesto: Jack & Sam

Talk about waiting until the last minute.  This is due tonight and I just kept putting it off and putting it off.  It's nothing profound but I still can't seem to write anything much lately.  It is what it is.  Maybe someday I can put my love for this couple into some more colorful and better thought out words.

It's no secret that I'm a Sam/Jack shipper. It's pretty obvious just by looking at my icons and list of stories. There's just something about Jack and Sam that pulls me in and makes me get all gooey inside. I started watching SG-1 long after the series went off the air. I don't really remember the first episode I watched but the next day they had a viewer's choice marathon on so I got to see all the best episodes. Many of which were very shippy. And I just fell in love.

BAMF: Varro

Had another challenge in stargateland to get done so figured I'd stay up tonight and work on it.  I'll probably be exhausted tomorrow.  Like that's new.  But, I had a little creativity going with my Sam/Jack manifesto so I rolled that over to finish this challenge.

Varro is BAMF simply for being a member of the Lucian Alliance.  Right from the start he has cred as a bad ass.  He makes his first appearance as the Lucian Alliance attempts to gate to and take over Destiny.  The mission is initially successful but Varro is injured during the incursion.  Their attempt at control is short lived, though, and their leader is killed.  After they are taken prisoner Varro is smart enough to know his place as de-facto leader of the Lucian Alliance group--he earns his keep helping in the infirmary and supports Young's decisions about his people to keep the peace.  By the end of the show he's the last Lucian Alliance member still alive.  Varro does what he has to survive but he still has principals that he won't compromise and a steely loyalty to those who treat him well.  Plus he's got that whole leather thing going on and that just has BAMF written all over it.
